Annual Complimentary Pig Roast
Wildwood Yacht Club Sunday

(By GEORGE CARPENTER CoNNoR, Secretary
In spite of the uncertainties of train
travel and the lack of knowledge as to
whether the Sunday excursion train
will pull into Wildwood this Sunday
or not; it was decided to give the Pig
Roast this coming Sunday, January 81,
whether it ''snowed, blowed or no trains
at all ran.n That's the spirit these days.
Push 'em through and do the best pos
sible under the circumstances.
A forty pound hoglet has been ship
ped to one of Wild woods bakers and
is to be cooked ia the bread oven; you
know, that crisp rich brownish sort of
stuff. A new member of the club has
sent 100 pounds OF kraut and
while the steward has been very sick
and wasn't about at all last Sunday,
it is expected that he will be up and
doing this weekend and have a corps
of assistants to help out. All members
and friends on the beach are invited to
show themselves; notices were sent out
by the secretary aud If any member
fails to get one, he is to be present any
how.

Married Men TO be Questioned

Drafted men who were married since
last May Is, are to be called to Trenton
to give an account of their intentions.
The Draft Board has had orders to this
effect, the intent of which is to ascer-
tain. they say, whether the marrying
was done with the idea of escaping var
duty.
The young men are nonplused over
this order because they never heard of
any penalty for marrying or any rea-
son why they should not take a wife.
There may be some, of course, who
thought that a wife could help to keep
them home, but no one would expect
them to own it.-Vineland Journal.

ALASKA MORNING
GOVERNMENT MAY OPERATE ALL
 ALASKA FISH CANNERIES THIS
 YEAR UNLESS AGREEMENT MADE
Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO Cal Feb. 18-An alarming state of affairs has developed in the Alaska canneres situation during the past twenty four hours result of the inability ot the canners and the union fishermen agree upon scale of wages It is possible that there may be pack in 9S unless the federal government takes the operation of the packing plants.
 The trouble arises from the demands of the union fish ermen for radical increase in wages The old schedule calls for $OO for the while the union leaders have de- nlanded $13O or a fifty per cent increase.
 The canners have turned this proposition down cold, and the workers have refused make another The delegates declare that they make money working in shpyards and other plants where labor present short and will not go north unless they granted the increase
 The canners state that under the existing laws they not afford to raise the old schedule as operating expenses are sure to be greatly increased years They also admit that labor and if the delegates carry out their threat of entering other industries for employment will practically shut down the fishing industry for this season.
 The canners have notified the delegates that the panles will ask the government full control of the plants unless agreement is reached within few days On account of the importance of the industry, it is expected that the federal arbitration board will be asked to look into the controversy and adjust the satisfaction of Doth parties in time to prevent any decrease in the pack

NEW JAPANESE
 AMBASSADOR IS
 NOW APPOINTED
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 1S.- Viscount Ishii has been appointed Japanese ambassador to, the United States. He is now enroute to Am erica and will arrive shortly to as- sume his official duties. He relieves Ambassador Sato.
 Baron Ishii is very highly regard ed here and will be warmly well comed by the American government He was at the head of the Japanese mission to America several weeks ago and by his tact and diplomacy succeeded, in conjunction with Sec retary Lansing, in clearing away all misunderstanding between Japan and America and laying all talk of trou- ble between the two countries.
 He is the author of the celebrated agreement entered into by Japan and America by which America rec ognizes the special interest of Japan in China and by which Japan reaf- firms her agreement to the .'open door" policy as it affects China.
 Secretary Lansing paid a glowing tribute to the frankness and kindli- ness of Viscount Ishii when the lat ter was about to depart for Japan upon the return of the mission. He was also warmly commended by the Japanese government for the sue cessful outcome of his labors
 With the advent of Viscount Ishii as Japan's representative to this country, the administration expects to witness a new era in the rela- tions of Japan and the United States during which many of the problems of the Far East will be met and dis posed of and America and Japan enter the development and upbuild- ing of China side by side.

 RAIDS BY HUNS
Associated .Pressl

LONDON, Feb. 1S.-(Of1ciaD- Twenty-seven persons were killed and forty-one injured in two air raids made on this city Saturday and Sunday nights. On Saturday night eleven were killed and four wound. ed. The raid was repeated and six. teen were killed and thirty.seven in. jured. The greater part of the per. sons killed and injured were women and children.
 There were six raiding machines engaged in both raids. Saturday night only one airplane succeeded in reaching the city and only one bomb was dropped. One of the enc. my planes was brought down near the coast by British airplanes, but the other raiders succeeded in es. caping.
 Sunday night the raiders were more successful, and a number of bombs were dropped, causing many injuries and damaging considerable property. No depots were touched, however, the Germans apparently aiming for the thickly settled resi- dential portion of the city. All the enemy planes engaged in the latter raid succeeded in escaping.

 NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-The strike of the workers in the Atlantic ship yards is over. Orders were issued Sunday by National Organizer Rice, of the United Brotherhood of Car penters and Joiners, instructing all strikers to return to work immedi- ately. This effectively broke up the strike.
 Several thousand men are idle to- day, but are expected to resume their labors tomorrow morning. The government officials are confident that there will be no further strike disturbances in the shipyards.
 Responding to a telegram from President Hutcheson, of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join. CTS, asking for a conference. Presi- dent Wilson telegraphed that there was no occasion for any conference and that 1t was the duty of the strik- CTS to return to work without de- lay. "No body of men has the right to strike until every other method of adjustment has been tried to the limit and failed" said the President, "and until this principle has been accepted and acted upon. there is nothing to be gained by confer ence. If you do not act upon this principle, you are undoubtedly giv- ing aid and comfort to the enemy, whatever may be your own consci- entious purpose"

PERSHINC GOES OVER TRENCHES
 ON INSPECTION
Associated Press)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Feb. 18.-General John J. Pershing, or Black Jack, as he is known to the men of his old Philip pine command, has just concluded a two days inspection of the Ameri- can sector. No portion of the ground held by the Americans was overlooked or passed up by the com mander.in-chief of the American ex- peditionary forces.
 He visited all company headQuar- ters, kitchens and other places. He inquired regarding the food, asking both men and officers. In only one place did he meet with any objec- tion to the army "chow" being fed to the troops, and this came from a cook of one of the companies. This man told the general that the grub was all right In every respect but one and that one was that they did not get enough green things.
 Pershing wore "tin hat" and a gas mask was hung where he could conveniently grab it should it be. come necessary. He walked through the first line trenches, splashing mud and slipping and sliding over the icy places. At the wind-up of his trip General Pershing declared that he was well pleased with the arrangement of everything and that the officers and soldiers were as seasoned as many of the French and allied veterans of seYeral camnaignS

TORPEDO SUPPLY IS RUNNING
 LOW IN GERMANY; ALL U-B0ATS
 NOW USING TWO RANGE MAKES

BASE OF AMERICAN FLOTlLLA IN BRITISH WATERS. Jan. s1.-- Shortage of torpedoes is one of the most serious facts with which the directors of the German U.boat war are now faced. It is a well.known fact that German factories are at present absolutely unable to turn out first.class torpedoes in anywhere near sufficient quantities for the needs of the submarines. In fact, the underwater craft are being turn. ed out faster than the torpedoes with the result that recourse has been had to various expedients to keep the submarines supplied with their chief weapon.
 Germany's> fleet of U.boats must carry thousands of torpedoes. Thous. ands more must always be ready in reserve. In fact the reserve supply should be larger today than a year ago to allow for the more frequent calls made upon 1t. The augmented destroyer patrol Is responsible for this. They have made the subma. rines use up more torpedoes and have caused them to return to their base more frequently for reloading
 Eight may be said to be the ave- rage number of torpedoes carried in one submarine. The number ranges from four to twelve, according to the type of submarine. The U.53 which raided shipping of the Allan. tic coast of the United States carried ten. More recent types load as many as twelve. Mine layers can ac. commodate two. four and six. depend. ing on their size.
 In connection with this shortage Is the interesting fact that all U.boat commanders are now strictly ration. ed" as far as their supply of torpe. does Is concerned and are not per. mitted to waste torpedoes on any long chance shots" except under circumstances which they must ex. plain In detail as justifying the ex. penditure of the precious underwater 
 Recently the German factories have been turning out . smaller torpedo which Is less accurately tested but

WIRES ARE TAPPED TO
 AMERICAN LINE
Associated Press)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Feb. 1S-An official an- nouncement made today states that places have been discovered where the Germans are tapping the Am. erican telegraph lines. One of the wires of the enemy was found at. tached to an American wire.
 The officers were not permitted to disclose how 1t was possible for the enemy to accomplish this task, which would necessarily take them inside the American lines. It is known that the enemy has not made a raid near enough to the place where the wire was found to do this, and it is practically impossible for a body. or even a single German. to have entered the lines without being discovered.
 The men are inclined to believe that there may be an enemy spy among the troops. and there is some talk of a spy hunt among them.
 In the American sector the enc my has tried various ruses in an endeavOr to outwit the newcomers In addition to the wires, they have destroyed some portions of it, and false signals have been sent out. Saturday night an American patrol party narrowly escaped cleo trocution when, after 1t had passed the first line of the enemy's entan. elements, a strong current of cleo tricity was turned on. The Ameri. cans had the presence of mind to hug the ground until the current was turned off, and made their es. cape without the injury of a man. In every case the Americans have outmaneuvered the enemy.
 WIDEN ACTIVITY
 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Feb. 18.-As the time for an increasing activity of the enemy's operations on the western front ap- breaches, the Americans are widen. ing their sphere of activity to considerable extent. They are not only holding the sector east of St. Mihiel. but Amreican artillery is now helping the French in the Cham pagne district.
 When the Germans begin their much advertised offensive they will find that the French lines have been bolstered up by much larger force of American troops than they have any conception of being in France.
 GET ENEMY PLANE
 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Feb. 18-One enemy air plane was brought to earth this af- ternoon by American aviators after a hard fight between two large squa- drons of planes. The other enemy planes succeeded in reaching their own lines without further casualties. one of the American machines or flyers were injured.
 The enemy planes flew over town where an American hospital was formerly located and dropped of bombs. The Americans rose to meet them and drove them away.
