Enter the Eulachon

This is not a newly formed Greek letter
fraternity, nor even high school sorority.
1t happens to be a fish, highly recommends
ed by the Federal Bureau Of Fisheries as
q valuable addition to the country's food
supply at a time when fish, desirable as a
substitute for the meats which the country
must save for export to the Allies and the
oxpeditonary forces, is somewhat scarce
The eulachon, sometimes called the
"Pacitic smclt,' is not new fish in this
city. 1t was brought here in large quanti-
ties by Mr.. George w. Perkins, head Of
Mayor Mitchel's food committee, a couple
OF winters ago, and was extensively sold
and eaten on the East Side. 1t was cheap.
and the testimony Of those who consumed
1T by the case was that it was nourishing
and palatable, despite the derogatory COM
ment of some dealers, who at first opposed
it's introduction, but later aided in its dis
trlbutlon. 1t can be caught and distrb-
utcd cheaply because in January and Feb
ruary large schools of this fish, somewhat
resembling the Eastern smelt, run up the
Pacific Coast streams from Oregon north
in order to spawn. Then it is easy to
catch. The Bureau of Fisheries reports
that it is now on sale not only along the
Pacific Coast, but in most of the large
cities of the East. 1t is rich in fats. with
flavor some individuals think better and
more distinctive than the Eastern smelt.
AS with the tilehsh, the grayfish, oriei-
nally known as dogfsf. ana other little
known varieties the Bureau of Fisheries
has endeavorcd to popularize, the bureau
has prepared a circular giving recipes for
various methods of cooking the eulachon
If previous experience goes for anything
the difficulty will be not to find way of
cooking the fish, but to find the fish itself
on sale in any ordinary establishment. The
Bureau of Fisheries is generally about q
year ahead of the markets. and the CON
sumer who endeavors to follow its advice
about these unusual fish foods has a lot of
trouble for his pains

The Hun Must Be Thrashed

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Your leading article in yesterday 5
Tribune hits the nail on the head, The great
trouble with Germany is Germans, and not
the form of government which obtains there
The sooner we realize that the better. and
the nearer we shall be to lasting and hon
orable peace.
Even German republicans would still re-
tain the beastly instincts which have made
the name of Germany ahhorred in every civil
lied and courageous country The innate de-
pravity of the German nature was evident
long before the United States entered the
war, when the Hun resident in this country
quite outdd his relatives in the Fatherland
in his advocacy of and contribution to
frightfulness.
The Hun must be thrashed. or he never
VIII be convinced that cruelty, espionage and
treaty violation do not lead TO success. He
cannot be democratizea, as some of our po-
htical dreamers imagine, for his form of GOV
ernment has served him very we'll 1t does
not regard the feelings Of others, and that is
just what appeals to him. 1t is efficient, and
in that respect differs somewhat from some

Too Much Glass

We record the notable fact: A non
essential has at last been found
1t is glass.
On order of the fuel administration the
output of this industry will be reduced
onc-half This is highly interesting OK
pertinent. There is no such fixed demand
for glass ss there is, let us say for wheat.
This may be a means of telling US just
how much it is needful to raise price in
order to stop waste.
There has already been very heavy
rise in glass articles, especially bottles and
jars for conserving food. Soon. we hope,
the price will 90 high enough to bring a
sharp curtailment of this obvious non
essential.
We trust that at the same time ade-
quatc steps have been taken to COM
mandeer the huge profits which will natu-
rally accrue to the glassmakers.

The Russian Way

Up in the Theatre du Veux Colomber
where NJ Jacques Copeau l1as been present
ing Les Frercs Karamasov.' you can see
the Russian idea at it's fullest and frcest
Dimltri karamasov enters the drawing
room Of his adored Katherine for dish of
tea. and. feeling so inclined to greet her
falls to the floor and kisses her on both
knees. One after the other just so. 1t is
not beautiful, or, we suspect, interesting to
the parties concerncds But so he felt like
doing at the moment. and so he did. Which
is the Russian way, as nearly as we can
come at it from reading the novels of sun
dry great Russian authors and the cables
and articles of several thousand American
correspondents lately accredited to Russia
The precise episode is of no especial inn
portance to anybody. 1t is a detail only
But it seems to represent very prettly the
handsome Slavic tendency to trust I'M
plcitly those subterranean instincts which
We Of the West wholly Of the West, that
is-reject and suppress as tho sort Of
thing that no commuter from Montclair
would do. We may feel inclined to muir
der q vicious. criminal father or two, or
some such, but we don't. We restrain the
large, loud voice within us and take the
S:O9 as usual, obcying that small, steady
voice without us which we have been
trained to recognize as the one safe source
Of justice, wisdom and the decent opinion
of ones ncighbors in d world of some sin
and much compromise.
Accepting the pragmatic theory of life
there seems no doubt that the Montclair
method Of living is far superior to that of
Moscow. 1t works. 1t brings no untoward
consequences in its train. Revolution
neither personal nor national follows in its
train. Everything goes on Just as com
fortablv as before, the 500 leaves exactly
as scheduled, and life is precisely as unin-
terestng and comfortable as before
Besides, by going to NJ. Copeau's thea
tire and sitting through LES 'reres
karamasov' the most self-controlcd Oc-
cidental can gain an almost complete par
ticipation in the wild doings of Russia
complete but safe. One can listen and
thrill vicariously and-go home on the
1916. Such is the benclicent contribution
of art to the life of each of us. We can
cat our Russia and have our Montclar
too. No wonder we sit back in superior
way and condescendingy pity these poor
distraught barbarans of Il nation which
has not yet learned to restrict it's TRACE
dies and It's emotions to the stage, the film
and the passionate pages of its magazines

Governments Owned Mail Tubes

1t viii be interesting to see how Post
master General Bureson, who for q cou-
pie of years has been endeavoring to wipe
out the pneumatic mail tube service, will
meet the recommendation Of the Congress
sional committee which advocates govern
ment capture of the tubes. BY its report
this committee indorses everything the
business men Of this city and the others
which have had the tube service have said
of its worth. 1t declares, in fact, that the
tubes are an essential service-a statement
the truth of which Mr. Burleson doubtless
will never admit, but which he must now
combat IN Congress.
What the committee has recommended
has long been the obvious and sensible
course with reference to the mail tubes. 1t
may we'll be that they have been expensive,
as a rented service. Government contracts
sometimes prove expensive to the govern
ment. even though the service contracted
for is irreproachable and Indispensable.
Nevertheless, when the service is good and
cannot be done without, as has been the
case with the mail tubes there is merely
the choice between paying what the pri-
vate ownership of the utility demands and
taking 1T over by The government.
1t is earnestly to bc hoped that Congress
will approve this report and act in accord
ance with it. With the price named sub
iect to review by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, as is proposed, there seems
little danger of an overpayment. And

The Bitter Bitten
world.

Those Respondent Americans who had
begun to feel that the Almighty was JUS
tifying the Kaiser's claims to personal
partnership with Him can find grain Of
comfort in the tidings that the Germans
have begun to protest bitterly against the
use of poison gas. They are tearfuly de-
mandng a Geneva convention prohibiting
its further use in the war.
Much of this belated humanitar}anism
undoubtedly flows from the skill with
which the Allies have developed new and
destructive gases in reply to the German
gas offensive. On the shecrly human side
the tide has turned with a vengeance. But
the Almighty has also contributed His aid.
1t is the simple fact. which the all-wise
Germans might easily have recalled that
the prevailing winds on the Western front
are from the west. Therefore, in launch
ing poison gas in the war. the Kaiser
might readily have figured out in advance
that his cruel, CHASTITY weapon would soon
bt turned against his own armies, with the
winds of heaven blowing on the side of the
Allies
1t is typical Teutonc performance. 1t
shows the German all-confidcnt and ruth
less-but eager to bleat humanitarianism
the moment humanitarianism promises a
dividend. Let us set the illustration aside

But the farmer is perhaps the hardest
working man of them all. He has no un-

Inevitably the price of wheat will be-
come a political issue. We have injected
into politics purely class question.
Price fixing will become a national issue

rcncy is carrying prices up at a rate un-
known in fifty years.

Think Victoriously

Since the Committee on Public Informal
ton put It's taboo ON expressions Of hate
toward Germany and Mr.. Wilson found
that the Austro- Hungarian Minister OF
Foreign Affairs was seeing the elements
Of peace clearly there has been 4 pre-
cpitatc increase Of peace talk. First it
WAS in the news that the President was
making Il terrific peace offensive against
the haiscr. Then it was in the editorials.
Everywhere the pacitists emerged from
their timdity and added their clamor 70
ihc discussion A conglomcrate section OF
the American Bolshcviki held a convention
in New York and declared that only bank
ors wished a military victory over Ger
many that the war did not matter any
more and that the Presidents next step
would be to call it a draw on the basis of
the stains q'to ante.
For this they are yet unrebuNcd.
Yesterday Norris Iillquit notorious
disloyalst, said: During my campaign
for Mayor we were called traitors for dis
cussing peace We were rebuked for not
standing behind the President. To-day the
President stands behind us--three months
behind
This is the man who committed the So
eialist party to the proposition that the
declaration Of war against Germany was
crime
The most interesting. perhaps also the
most formidable, recent contribution to the
discussion of peace is the letter of James
Cardinal Gibbons to the American public.
1t is written ostensibly on the position OF
the Pope, but it goes far wide OF that pur-
pose and discusses the attitude of the
American people toward the war and the
President. The people, he says, are pre-
pared for % long, cruel war. But" he
adds, "they would not prolong it one single
moment beyond that term when it would
become either useless or unjust"
When, short of complete military vic
tory, would our war against Germany
become "either useless or unjust?
What does His Eminence mean by
that?
And what does he mean by the exhor-
tive expectation at the end that the peo-
pie will continue to support the Presi-
dento
The great danger of Mr. Wilson's
peace offensive against Germany begins
to appear.
Since February | / we have been think
ing more Of peace and less Of war.
Peace negotiations, as every one
knows, are taking place in the open air
We are casting upon the German people
propaganda OF pacifsm and revolt
That is all very we'll for those who be
iieve that the German people, who are
thinking in terms Of victory, can be
moved in that way, or that Austria caa
be converted alone.
The perilous fact is that peace negotia
tions at the same time are taking place
in our own thoughts.
We ought not to be thinking of peace
That should be Germanys part.
If with all our might we attend to
victory, peace viii attend to itself.
Therefore, let US stop thinking pacihcally
Let us think VIGOROUSLY.
New-York tribune., 1918-02-22
Glass Interest in Prices

The President himself say the Admin
istration dispatches. will fight the proposed
increase in the minimum price of wheat
The full power of the Administration will
be used if necessary to prevent enactment
of the bills now pending in Congress.
The proposal is to increase the present
minimum price guaranteed by the govern
ment on 1918 wheat from 50 to $3.50 or
S2.75. Some Of the farmer organizations
have urged price Of SO.
1t is altogether unfair to denounce the
wheat grower for his demands. Consider
his case. Last spring wheat was selling
above So bushel. corn around S130, cot
ton around 20 cents.
To-day the price of wheat is practically
fixed at $3.50, because the free market for
wheat has been destroyed. Cash corn is
selling in the neighborhood of 50 and cot
ton has recently been above so cents, with
free predictions that it will go much
higher.
The normal ratio, with wheat at 50,
would be about 81 for corn and about Is
cents for cotton.
The discrepancy bears hard on the wheat
grower Cotton, as we'll as corn. is "war
baby" in as full a sense as wheat. Some
thing like 40 per cent of all the cotton
grown in this country is, we believe now
being used in making explosives and for
other war supplies. A price of 32 cents
for cotton means something like an extra
tax of a billion dollars collected from the
whole nation and presented to the cotton
planters of the South.
Why, the wheat grower asks, should this
enormous premium be paid on cotton and
the price of wheat alone be curtaled?
Meanwhile the controversy has a larger
interest, which cannot fail to strike the
mind of an attentive public.
Roughly speaking, three votes out OF
every ten cast in our national elections
come from the farm. In large number
of states the farm vote is predominant
At the moment the farm mind is dis
tressed at the fact that the price of wheat
should be fixed and other farm products
threatened with like procedure, while
there is no limit on the price of things
which the farmer must buy. Farm imple
ments, for example, clothing, and, if yo,
like, cotton goods.
The wheat price raising bills now il
Congress, it is needless to say, come from
Senators and Congressman from the farm
ing districts. They are "hxing theil
fences At this there is great irritation
Already it is said that as the result o.
these bills wheat is being boarded and thu
supply available for the mills is seriously
threatened. Probably very soon the farm
ers and their friends will be denounced az
"conscienceless profiteers." Possibly they
will be rebuked for their action.
Meanwhile the various workingmen
organizations are clamorous for highe1
wages. In many cases they have received
encouragement in high quarters. Thi:

CHAPTER XVI.
The Queen,s Call

1t would be difficult to estimate thd
mingled rage and horror that swept
over London that night when the news
came of the admiral's treaty.
The admiral felt that he Ind rid
the world of dangerous menace for
a bagatelle. But the feeling in the
Admiralty was one of humiliation and
vindictiveness.
1.-THE scoundrel!" muttered the sec.
ond sea lord. clenchlng his fists "Who
knows that he will fulfill his pactY
'He must" said Donald.
"Why. sir?"
Because the moderation of his
terms shows that MacBeard has no ul.
terror motive. I think" he added.
"that the admiral did perfectly right"
"And Miss Kennedy?" inquired the
sea lord.
Sacrificed herself for her country
as others have DONE" Donald replied.
But the second sea lord did not UNDER
stand.
The news of the expected arrival of
the F55 having become public, Donald
sent a wireless message to a patrol
ship. ordering her to intercept the ves-
sci and bid 1t anchor OFF the More,
where he could go aboard without pub-
Iicity. When he arrived early the same,
morning the first person who welcomed
