From Stars and Stripesl

Father Patrick Turner of Birming
ham a Knights of Columbus chaplain,
believes He'll is a good word when
properly used. He was saying his pray
ers in an old cathedral in the Nosges
the other day. when a hand was laid
on his shoulder. He looked up into the
face of a young American lieutenant
who said: I'm in a hell of a fix"
The day was wet and cold and F'a-
Their Turner had on big overcoat
which concealed his insignia. He
smiled and said: You certainly are in
some fix
The lieutenant merely repeated: I'm
in a hell of fix and the priest said
Perhaps | can help you
no You can't said the lieutenant
I'm ordered up to the front today and
glad to get a crack at Fritz but
haven't been to confession for six
months and I want to clean my slate
before going up. There are only French
priests here and they can't understand
a word | say"
Father Turner threw off his coat,
disclosing the silver cross on his Shout
der strap and smiled. The lieutenant
apologiZed for using bad language and
Turner said, laying his hand on the
officers shoulder: why son, that is
one of the best words in the language
when you use it Just right. Anyway l

They made the rounds of the ca

do without a confessional box"
He led the lieutenant into a corner
behind a marble column and heard his
confession. Then as they were leaving

him proudly saying:

 Brass Artillery in 1885 The use of cannon dates back to the year 1888 Artillery constructed of brass first appeared in 1885, Among ! the curiosities of artillery odd inven- tions have great place.

HUGHES DISCUSSES
 FISHERIES TREATY
Attorney Says We Must Not Allow Other Nations To
 Seize Food Supply

America shall not allow the fisher ies in the North Pacific and all the Al aska coast and their untold wealth to become absorbed by Canada. was the declaration of F.. C. Hughes. vice president of the Alaskan bureau. at the members council luncheon of the Se- rattle Chamber of Commerce and Com merciai Club. held in the Masonic Club Friday noon.
 In answering the question Shall our fisheries be absorbed by other na- tions?" Mir. Hughes said that the peo- pie of the United States have learned Of the folly of depending upon other nations merchant marine, and that they must also learn not to depend upon other nations for their food sup ply. especially sea food. MT. Hughes further said the treaties to be made following the war must protect the fisheries of the Northwest: that Alas, ka fisheries last year were Of the value of s50,000.000 and this year would reach s6O,OOo.o0O
 When you consider that now only ten or twelve varieties of edible fish are sought and that there are more than l25 varieties in existence, you can realize that the potential value of our fishing possibilities is inconceivable. said MT. Hughes.
 Food Fish in North
 If the United States reserves and develops our fishing industry what has been done is but beginning to what the fisheries mean. The world s supply of fish food lies north of the forty-fourth parallel latitude. Fish are found in shoal water. The 5000 miles of shoal water around Alaska makes the largest field in the world The utilization of Alaska fishing commenced with Sa= Francisco as headquarters. Later came Puget Sound. because the center Of opera tions was found to be nearer. The district nearest the fishing shoal is an economical advantage which as sures the fishing business there. Re gently Prince Rupert established sub sidized cold storage, railroads ant other essentials to the fishing indus try and from that point made arrange ments 10 bring fish across the line to the United States.
 The inevitable result will be thi centering Of the fishing resources a Prince Rupert. Advantage has beer found for those fishing under the Can adian flag. Many of our fishermen a' result have transferred their flee register from the United States to Can ada We consume in the United States eighteen pounds of fish pc capita. The entire United States ant Alaska production barely meets th' consumption.
 Must Control Fish Industry.
 The great war has shown the peOpl of the world the necessity of becom ing eaters of fish. The necessity fo

the use of fish will continue for fu- ture years. We must of necessity, control our fishing industries, as Eng land has controlled hers in the past.
 Now the attitude of Canada has en- trey changed. She wants to put down the bars and let us fish in her terri tory. but she wants us to do the same Our secretary of commerce has made likewise He says we are common people involved in the same struggle and all boundary bars should be let down and that all industry should be controlled by national economy. that is that business and work should be conducted in the country which can do it the cheapest.
 "I reminded him that so long as we are separate nations, when peace comes our country must protect its own people While We are engaged in a common cause We must serve as na- tions without boundaries, but We must never again be dependent upon any nations, for our commerce on the seas or our fish foods.
 This industry is now centering at Prince Rupert. as the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad furnishes the shortest railroad route to the great Eastern markets Unless we can center this industry along the shore of Alaska, where it belongs economically, the cen tering of the industry at Prince Rupert will ultimately result in it becoming Canadian, as our great New England fishing industry became centered in Newfoundland.
 No plea of economic law can pre- vail in the Alaska situation, as the industry rightly and economically should be centered along the Alaska coast. where it extends for distance of over 5000 miles from ketchikan to Kotzebue. Never again will this na- ton be dependent Gn fore-sn vessels to carry it's commerce. nor can it permit of any of its great food resour- ces being diverted from its control.'
