AMERICAN FISHERMEN

The announcement of the settlement oi the long standing fisheries dispute between Canada and the United States calls attention to the fact that these two countries produce about one fourth of the recorded fish crop of the world. A lecture delivered last week before class in the educational de Dartment of the National City Bank of New York shows that the United States now leads the world in it's fish output and that the waters of Canada and the United States in combinat tion supply over $15O.000.0 .000 worth of fish per annum. out of a world recorded total Of slightly less than $500, ,000, ,000 The term recorded total" said the lecturer, is used advisedly. because of the fact that the actual records of the world fisheries cover in fact only a comparatively small proportion of the globe or it's population.
 The total value of the United States Ssh crop, including Alaska and the fnsular possessions. is probably $150.- Ga0.O00 ali the present time, though the latest official figures put the total

WHY NOT TRY JAPANESE FISH
 SAUSAGE?

Vice-Consul Henry B. Hitchcock. al Yokohama gives the following ac- count of the manufacture of kama boko," or fish sausage in Japan. with the suggestion that this process makes available for food certain fishes which are ordinarily considered too tough and gristly.
 The white meat of fish from which the bones have all been removed. is carefully washed in clean water and, after the surplus water has been pressed out, is ground as fine as pos sib,e in a meat chopper It is then v5orked. a little at time through a cclander to remove the coarser fibers, vshen it is ready for the addition of l1a fiavoring materials. A pint Of
 lnirin.' ounces Of sugar and salt to taste (these being the quantities used with 20 pounds Of fish) from a common f1avoring mixture. Mirin is swedish alcoholic beverage brewed
 rom g,utinous rice and fortified with distilled sake. In place of mirin some use the liquor brewed from 'konbu," a species Of Laminaria. "Aji-no-moto," Japanese proprietary preparation gives relish preferred by many. As kamaboko prepared with miriam is said 10 detoriate in warm weather, ev en when canned, the other 1avorings named or condiments to which the American public is more accustomed would probably be more suitable for kamaboko made in the United States.
 The favoring materials are added gradually while the fish is being worked on a kneading board with broad bladed. flexible knives some what in the manner of an artist mix ing cclors with 3 palette knife. The result is smooth paste of the consist ency of cream cheese. When the fish is of a variety that does not give Q constant paste, it is necessary to add 2 little starch or rice flour dissolved n water.
 The paste is then spread on boards Of various sizes according to the size of the loaf desired. Boards by 2hi inches take a 1-pound loaf; 6 by 2a. inches. 11s pound loaf, and by 3A inches a 2ls pound loaf. The paste :s spread on the boards in thin layers until the required thickness and weight is attained so that the loaf may retain it's even texture and not become lumpy and crumbly even when steamed.
 The loaves are steamed for an hour and half to three hours, according to size Of the loaf. and are packed in cans as soon as removed from the steam ovens. If intended for local consumption, they are placed in cold water to chill as rapidly as possible, after which they are sometimes coat ed with egg-yolk and Drowned in an oven by way Of improving the appear auce-

at S1a5,000.000. The fact, however, that a portion of these figures repre- sents the output prior to the advance in prices resulting from the war, sees to justify an estimate of approx imately S150.000,000 as the value of our output at the present time. This total of s15O.000.000 compares with s40,o00. .0O0 as the value of the fish crop of Canada.

 The capital invested in the fisheries of the United States, including vessels and the establishments on land in which the fish are handled, is, accord ing to the latest official figures, about s75.000.000, the number of persons em- ployed 220.000, and the value of the sea products turned out by the can. neries of the country s50.000.000, of which salmon alone amounts to about s25,00o, ,o00 and sardines approximate iy s7,o00,000. the United States out. turn of canned sardines being greater in quantity than that of any other country in the world.

HUNGARIANS PLEDGE

 We. Hungarians by birth or by des cent and Americans by free choice, as well as by noble hospitality of this glorious country. having assembled at d mass meeting on the 18th day of March, 1918. in the city of Scranton, "a. unanimously.
 Resolve: i. That we express our
 eartfelt gratitude to the President
 nd the Congress of the United States CT having exempted us from the un- desirable class of alien enemies.
 ?. That we pledge our uncondit- '3nal and sncere loyalty to the Presi-
 ont and the Congress and to the law Of this our adopted country.
 3. That we declare Americas part T the present war against the auto cracies of the central powers to be just I te.ng our belief that an allied vic cry will lead to the freedom and peace or humanity, and our hope that '- will result n recognition of the ,housand -year-old Hungary inalienable rights and independence.

Allies in the greatest maritime salv- age undertaking that has ever been essayed. Experts from this side of the Atlantic have gone to cooperate with men Of kindred training in Eur opean waters. and the purpose of this collaboration is fundamentally to off set the ravages of the Teuton suba-
 ue0us warfare. And what is more 10 the point, this union of effort has for its inspiration record of reclama. Ion that is extremely encouraging, to say the least.
 According to published data enemy torpedoes and mines have stricken more than 100000 tons of craft from
 Q naTal and mercantile fleets of the Tor-d since the beginning of the pres ent war. Further, gales. foggy wealth e- and dinmed navigational beacons
 ave caused other maritime losses mounting to hundreds of thousands Of tons.
 n short, it is probably no exaggera- tion 10 say that the sea bed has gath cred to il quite S.000.oo0 tons of craft in the course of the last three and a half years. This does not take into account the lesser fry like trawlers, drifters, destroyers, submarines and a numerous array Of vessels below 1.e0G tons.
 Value of Treasure Over S4ooo, ,ooo, 900
 While some Of the ships that have been sent to the bottom were stricken when travelling in ballast only, the vast majority were lost when laden with valuable cargoes. In normal times a ships freight is said to be worth as much as the craft herself. Vessels that could be bought or built fer s125 ton are now bringing s375 3 ton, and commodities of nearly all sorts have increased on an average proportionately. Therefore a fair figure for oceangoing ships and their freight combined is roundly $500 a ton. At this rate the ocean grave yards have been enriched since Aug ust 1914, by fully 0.0O0,000 worth o- property, and that independently of he vessels that have succumbed thru stress of sstorm and navigational CT TOTS
 This is undoubtedly a conservative estimate, because no special account is taken Of specie, bullion and other yaluables and no allowance is made for the personal property of passen. gers pr other people aboard the un- fortunate ships. In deed the belief s held by some qualified judges that the total monetary sacrifices involved are probably well above the s5 900, ,OO0- 1fO mark
 Be this as it may, the subject is an absorbing one because these sunken ships are speeding up lines of engin- eering endeayor that will amaze the world when the ultimate details of these salvage tasks are permitted to Abach the public.

DOES THIS BEGIN
ONE ROMANCE?
Young Radasch Meets a French Girl
on a Train and Improves
His Opportunity With
out Delay.

In recent article published in a
Springfield, Mass, paper, special
mention is made of Private Edmund
". Radasch, Jr., grandson Of Mrs.
Marie Radasch, of 1109 Blondeau
street. He is the son of E. ]. Rad
asch, who was formerly Keokuk
boy. The article states:
"By a remarkable coincidence one
of the French girls who arrived in
this city yesterday was the means of
bringing a personal message from a
Springfield soldier to his father here.
1t happened that on the train which
was taking her to Bordeaux whence
she was to sail, Private Edmund j..
Radasch, Jr., son of e. ]. Radasch,
the well known local haberdasher,
was also travelling from the front for
six days furlough in Bordeaux. AS
both were riding in the same seat
Private Radasch availed himself of
this opportunity to improve his
knowledge of a. new language and
learned that the girl was coming to
this country and, more than that, to
his own home city. More remark
able still, he was the only Massa-
chusetts man among all those who
were going on furloughs with him on
that train. The girl agreed to carry
personally letter to Mr.. Radasch
from his son. This she delivered"
This French girl was one of twen-
ty-five who began a course of study
at the commercial high school in
Springfield.
