Fpdnce was capable Of meeting the
great CRISIS but she has answered
that question and answered it for ali
time. Her government may not have
had always the efficiency Of the
Hohenzollern government, but when
the great trial came France justified
her resolution and proved to the world
that great people could be depended
upon to maintain its liberties without
the aid OF emperor or king.
Autocrats Are curbed.
4 $50 England, a self-governing ,coun-
try, was called decadent. Her people
ceb4tented themselves with the things
Of peace. They neither demanded nor
desired glory. They simply insiyted
on rights which were theirs. They
were therefore despised by the war
lords. But when autocrats Of the
future seek to conquer the world they
will think Of the English at Mons, at
Ypres and at the Aisne and they will
hesitate to launch their thunderbolts.
America was called land OF many
worshipers. II was said that our young
men had lost the manly virtues which
go to make soldiers. More than 2.00o.-
900 Of these men have answered that
calumny and faced our foe on for

NOW FISH IN INLAND WATERS
German Submarines Have Driven
Hardy Dutch Sailors From Their
Occupation in the North Sea.

In this day of the lurking submarine
the waters of the North sea are a
marked danger zone for the fisherman
of the Netherlands, and consequently
the rivers and inner seas of Holland
are thronged with brown-sailed fishing
smacks, all eagerly pursuing the elu-
sive herring, salmon, pike and carp.
Until the boats tanks or barrels are
filled the detc, mined fisherman sticks
at his job If a good haul is soon
made he may steer the craft up some
canal to an inland town TO market
his catch. He gets out the sign,
'Fish for Sale," and fastens it to the
mast, draws the boat up to the canals
edge, and is soon besieged by house
wives anxious to inspect his wares.
The fish, as if conscious of their pend
ing fate, swim uneasily about in the
tank, while thrifty Dutch matrons
follow certain ones excitedly with
forefnger, and the seller endeavors to
locate the desired fish in the swarm
ing tub.
On a summer evening when q feet
Of the good ships has made port after
a hard days work, fishing village is
one of the most picturesque sights in
Holland. Sails patched or torn and
tapping rise and fall in the harbOr
with the motion of the waves. The
brawny Dutch fisherman, revived by
supper and the evening pipe, is curing
fish and exchanging stories with neigh
bOrs on the dock, while his wife sits
before her cottage mending nets, or
perhaps adjoining torn sail with a
vivid red patch.
There is little rest for these hard
working seamen and their wives. Fish
have long been to Holland what rice
is to China or the potato to America.
With it's food supply ebbing danger
Ously low, Holland looks more than
ever to her fisher folk to feed the
people.
