of German propagandists. the NOR

BASS SENT TO STOCK
HUDSON LAKE, CAUGHT

That the government fishery Of
ficials at Washington intend to keep
informed regarding fish sent out to
various places in the country for
restocking purposes is shown by a
letter received by Gus Haslanger,
deputy city clerk, wednesday.
Five years ago Mr.. Haslanger
requisitiOned the government for
enough fish TO restock Hudson lake.
After much delay ne received 10
bass from the national fishery de-
partment at Washington. and We'd
nesday ne received a letter from
those officials asking what results
had been obtained from the 10
bass.
Under ordinary conditions Mr..
Haslanger possibly could have in
formed the fishery department that
anywhere from ten million TO twelve
million bass in Hudson lake was
the direct result Of planting those
10 bass five years ago. but as condi-
tons really existed at the time the
only thing that the deputy city
clerk was able TO tell the depart
ment after five years is that the 10
bass made an excellent meal for al
least one fisherman.
In sending the bass, the govern
ment had sent bass above the length
that fishermen are prohibited from
catching. and before they could
spawn. they had been caught They
were excellent frying size. accord
ing to Mr.. Haslanger. and there was
no way in which 10 prevent them
from being caught.
If the bass had been permitted 10
remain in the lake. il is estimated
that each FISH would have Matched
at least five hundred thousand eggs
making a total OF between ten mil
lion and twelve million new bass
for the Hudson lake fishing grounds

Three Turn Out
to Hear Address
on Conservation

Whether the eating Of war bread
yesterday killed the desire of mem
rbers of the Chamber of Commerce
to hear an address last night on the
subject of conservation, or whether
the fact that none was TO be served
had anything TO do with the failure
of all but three 10 attend the lee
ture TO have been given last night by
James O. Pagan. is a question that
would be difficult TO solve. What
ever the reason for the apparent
lack of interest may be doesn't light
en- the responsibility upon the mem
bers of the chamber, all of whom
had been notified of the affair
through the press and otherwise
Sec'y Emmons also sent out many
notices 10 practically all the manu-
facturers Of the city and an an
nouncement of the event was made
at yesterdays luncheon of the Ro-
tary club.
Mr.. Pagan, who is a well known
lecturer and author and a represen-
tative of the national industrial con-
servatiOn movement of New York,
and the object of his lecture i'm sub
stance was to make an appeal for the
formation of a great triple alliance
composed Of labor, capital and the
public for the protection of Ameri-
can industry and the mobilization of
the cOuntry's resources for both the
present emergency of war and the
reconstruction period after the ces-
sation of hostilities.
Mr.. Fagan's lectures throughout
the country are being given for the
purpose Of impressing the people
with the importance of conservation
of our products and material for the
general good Of the people and for
the good that it will accomplish in
helping 10 win the war. AS an illus
tration of why many of the people
should be shown and made to realize
the Importance of food conservation,
Mr.. Pagan stated to The News-Times
last night that a story had been told
to him recently of a laboring man
who is now earning $3.50 a day. more
than twice what the same man had
made a few years ago. This man.
ne said, was spending practically all
he made in groceries. and when he
was asked why he didn't economic
more. replied by saying that he earn
ed his money and that he would
spend it if he felt disposed 70 do so.

Dear Friends:
mo doubt you all Will be sur

point but thought YOU all might be
interested 20 know that at last / am
on the verge of taking the final
leap IN my army experience.
My company is now camping in
a small place i'm New Jersey, known
as Camp Merritt. This is a beauti-
ful place, just across the Hudson
river from YOnkers. The camp
lies just a little distance from the
palisades OF New Jersey.
Personally / am in a fine condi-
ton, weigh nearly 200 pounds and
have been able TO work my way in
to a sergeancy.
I'VE passed all our oversee ex-
aminations in fine shape. our own
little company setting an example
for every post we have been in.
1T is needless for me 10 say We
are now going across. In a short
while we will again get on trains
that will carry us perhaps 10 our
starting place We don't know
where it will be and care less, just
so we go.
Every man is quietly making
preparations, each man in good
spirits, but with a rather set. de-
termined look behind a cheerful
smile.
I'VE don't know what the future
Will be, but we enlisted 70 stay to-
gether and by one means or anOth-
er. under 10 of the finest officers
in the army, we are going to do our
best
This Will be my last letter fror'
