Shad Easily Taken,

The habits of the shad lend them
selves admirably TO the determination
of the fish. They approach the shores
in immense schools, actually crowd
ing one another in their efforts to reach
the head of the fresh-water streams,
where the spawn is deposited. Fisher
men learned quickly how TO intercept
the run by nets In the bays and in the
broad mouths of rivers, and the mar
ketable shad are now nearly all caught
in this way.

GOLD PRODUCTION FALLS OFF
California Output shrinks 20 Per Cent
Because Of War, Says State
Mlneraioeist.

San Francisco.-The production Of
gold In California for 1918 probably
will be 20 per cent under that Of 1917.
said Fletcher Hamilton, state min
eralogist-
While the price Of gold has re-
manned fixed at S20.67 an ounce. the
various factors Of the cost of its pro-
duction have advanced from % to 800
per cent since the European war be-
gan, according to Mr.. Hamilton. Mines
have been shut down and others may
be forced to cease operations.
THE problem is to find some way
whereby the government can help abb
sorb the gold miners losses" Mr.. Ham,
ilton said. Bonuses and a raise in
the price of gold have been considered.
Following are the figures on gold
production during the last three years |:
1915, so, 442. 2e6; 1916. $21. 41O,741 /;

Peace Offensive Answered.

With promptness that should leave no
douot of the attitude of this government
and it's allies, President Wilson, speaking
for all, has answered the latest German
peace offensive. Within half an hour
after the receipt Of the peace note, Secre-
tsry of State Lansing issued the follow
ing reply:
The government of the United States
fees that there is only on reply which
it can make to the suggestion of the
Imperial Austro- Hungarian government. 1t
has repeatedly and with entire candor stated
the terms upon which the United States will
consider peace, and can and will entertain
no proposal for conference upon matter
concerning which it has made its position
and purpose SO plain"
The terms of the United States are best
summed up in these words from Presi-
dent Wilson's speech at Baltimore last
April:
Force, force to the utmost, force
without stint, or limit, the righteous and
triumphant force which shall make right the
law Jf the world, and cast every selfish do
minion down in the dust"

and acquaintances, and to the many chill

Any doubts that Lenine and Trot-
SKY, the Bolshevik leaders in Russia,
are paid German agents, are removed
by the amazing series of official docu-
meuts secured in Russia by American
agents and now made public by this
government. These documents not
only show the German government
through its Imperial bank paid its
gold to Lenine, Trotsky and their i'm
mediate associates to betray Russia
into deserving her allies, but give
added proofs, if any be necessary,
that Germany had perfected her plans
for war of world conquest, long be-
fore the assassinations at Sarevejo,
which conveniently furnished her

COVER THERE"
Cong. Peters Tells the Folks at
Home What Our Boys are Doing.

Home What Our Boys are Doing.
Hancock hsll was packed Saturday
evening, when Congressman John A.
Peters, fresh from the fighting front in
France, talked informally to the "horde
folksv of things be saw there.
Congressman Peters, as mem Der OF the
delegation from the House Naval Affairs
committee on an official visit to Europe,
had an unusual opportunity to view opera
tions, and the opportunity to hear him
tell OF them was eagerly grasped BY the
people Of Ellsworth sud many OF the
neighborine towns. The hall had been
sttractively decorated with flags by Fred
E. Cooke. Music was furnished by the
Ellsworth fife and drum corps. Fulton
j.. Redman was introduced by Mayor
Hagerthy as the presiding officer of the
evening, and he, in turn, with a few elo-
quent words, presented Congressman
Peters, who received an ovation.
MIR. Peters talk was q first-han
message to the folks at home from the
boys, sour boys" in France. OF the
fighting ability of the American boys, he
said:
s'The most striking thing was the effect
upon the spirits OF the French people and
soldiers of the operation and successes of
the American troops and marines, their
wonderful dash and courage. The Ameri-
cans we're called in Ms almost a last re-
sort, and when they went forward to
meet the crack German troops at the apex
- he Gallant hsv uara ny,ar !, o. n ouo ~
Paris, they had to open up their ranks to
let the battle-worn French troops pass
through to the rear. The Americans
stopped the Germans, and restored the
spirits and enthusiasm of the French
people and French troops.
"All now realize that the Americans
have the real stuff in them, and from now
on will be the most important factor in
the war. 1t has also had a great effect on
the American troops. They know now
that they are more than g match at any
time or place for an equal number Of
Germans. Among the prisoners captured
in this dash was one Capt. Won Buelow,
q nephew Of General Won Buelow. They
asked him what he thought now OF the
American soldiers. After rejecting q
moment he said: They are the best in
the world. / have never seen the Prus-
sian guards run BEFORE"
As to the prospects OF peace, Congress-
man Peters said: "There is some opinion
in military circles in France that the
power of the allies is sufficient to defeat
the German army this fall, but un-
doubtedly 1t is not wise to take the
chance when we are practically sure Of
being able to take care OF them later on,
when our power is further developed and
on the spot.
'There is only one kind of peace worth
thinking about for q moment. The
future safety of the country absolutely
demands that we shall dictate the terms
of peace without any negotiation or
compromise, and we can do that as soon
as we get the German army by the
throat
