THE FIsHERMAN's FIGHT

The announcement of the govern.
ment that 1t intends to protect our
fishing boats off the New England
coast emphasizes the seriousness of
the submarine menace. 1t also brings
to mind the brave work done by small
fishing craft in British waters. The
U-boat did its best to drive English
fishermen from the sea. That 1t could
not succeed in its campaign of fright
fulness with "the little ships" is just
one more detail in England's glorious
war record.
The small, slow-going fishing
smacks have piled their business not
only ''as usual" but better than us.
ual, SO that in the dark days the peo.
pie of the British Isles could eke out
their scanty meat ration with an
abundant supply Of fish.
Many tales are told-though few in
proportion to the whole record--of
these little boats encountering sub
marines, putting up plucky fight
against them, and frequently worst
ing the huge wolves of the sea. An
official report Of naval officer de-
scribes one such "fisherman's fight.
The little group of six attached trawl.
ers fought courageously until the
leading one had only Is rounds of am.
munition. The signal to ram" was
ready as a last resort, when three d.
rect hits at vital spots on the subma
rine won the fight.
The naval officer who reported the
engagement concluded his otficia
statement with these words:
This was fisherman's fight, and
without doubt they put up righ,
stout one. deem 1t an honor to have
been in command OF them"
Such are the British fishermen. We
have faith that our own fishermen
possess the same spirit. They, too
love the sea and will uphold its ira
ditions Of honor and freedom.

BUILD A FOOD RESERVE

America elects to sit at the COM
mon table. as It shares In the common
defense OF democracy. The American
people, as whole, are henceforth ex.
pected to adopt an honor ration of two
pounds of sugar per person per
month. Even now they are more for
tunate than some Of our allies.
England. whose shipping is proving
the salvation of civilization, Is on a
similar allowance. but II is not vol.
untary one. France and Italy are
each limited to one pound per person
per month, and even that pound is
hard to come by. The worlds sugar
crop is short.
No sugar is coming from central
Europe where, for decades, the sugar
beet crop has been of major import
ance. None is being shipped from
Java. because the tonnage usually In
that trade can be employed to more
advantage elsewhere. The supply
from Hawaii and from the West In
dies is reduced for similar reason
The French sugar beet territory Is
largely In German hands.
The burden of maintaining the al
lied supply falls increasingly upor

America. This country must save
sugar, as well as meat and wheat.
The food controllers for the United
States, Great Britain, France and
Italy cannot administer the food prob.
lem on the basis of one years war.
II victory is to be assured they must
look years ahead.
The people of the United States
can render their sons and brothers at
the front, and their allies. no greater
service than by building up In this
country food reserve as insurance
against possible crop failures else.
where. Before the war this country
supplied but 10 per cent of the food
deficit in the nations now allied. Last
year the United States and Canada
supplied approximately SO per cent
of the deficit, and the 1918 crops
must provide still larger proportion
of the amount required.
The agricultural laborers of the
land are going by hundreds of thou
sands to the trenches and the muni
tion plants. This year, in all proba
bility, America reaches the zenith o1
its food production. There is impera
tive need to save, and to continue
saving.
Food, after all, must win the war.

WILL SPAIN BE NEXT?

Spain Is on the ragged edge with
Germany. II has delivered an ulti-
matum stating that for every ship of
hers sunk by a German submarine,
she will seize German ship interned
In her ports.
This looks like business. Moreov.
er. II the Germans play their usual
game OF irritating their former
friends instead o. pacifying them, 1t
will not be long before Spain joins
the lengthening list of allies.
Spain has been thoroughly soaked
In German propaganda for u long
time. But the difficulty with false
propaganda Is that sooner or later II
clashes with known facts, The facts
stand. and the propaganda goes to
smash.
The sooner Spain finds out the
truth about Germany, the better

KEEP AWAY FROM WASHINGTON

II Is said that the city OF Washing
ton may put up a Keep Out" sign
before long. II 1t does, the nation
need not take 1t as gratuitous piece
of insolence. Americans may have
traditional right to visit their capi-
tai whenever they feel like 1t, and see
the governmental wheels going round
but this is no time to stand on techni-
cal rights. 1t is q serious condition
that confronts the capitol city.
Never has there been parallel In
America to the congestion from
which Washington is now suffering.
As the center OF all our normal gov
ernmept activities. plus all our alb
normal war activities. including a
large part OF the important business
operations OF the United States
Washington is an extremely busy
place. requiring the presence OF q
huge army of office workers and be
sieged continually by an invading
army of business men. For this nee
essary steady and transient popula
tion, Washington homes and hotels
do not nearly suffice. Congress hal
voted $lO,OOO,O0O for new houses, ant
1t is doubtful whether that will eas'
the situation sufficiently.
Added to all the necessary jam o
humanity there Is an army Of people
who 80 there on business errand

busy officials at their work. II Is thi
army whose presence Washington
most keenly resents, and which
seeks to bar.
Congress may take action In tn
matter. Or the president himself ma
