hearts with them and our fortunes, are
in the fields and ships are crowding
faster and faster to the ports Of France
and England with regiment after regi-
ment, Thousand after thousand, to Join
them until the enemy shall be beaten
and brought to reckoning with man

mission, The great enterprise must, on
the contrary, be pushed with greater
and greater energy. The volume of
our might must steadily and rapidly
be augmented until there can be no
question of resisting it, If that is to
be accomplished, gentlemen, money

Market Was Unsettled
In Wall Street Today

New York, May 27.-The New York
Evening financial review today said:
The market was unsettled through
most of the session, with industrial
prices inclined to weakness, losses
ranging from one to four points or so.
The rails were in distinctly better
form, although gains over Saturday
were at best little more than fractional.
There were a few soft spots and more
or less shifting about The undertone,
however, in that department was rela.
lively firm.
In the last hour losses broadened
among the industrials. United States
Steel, for example, which had sold at
lO7 dropped to below 1O5 and Baldwin
Locomotive lost over nine points. The
rails withstood the general pressure

Back up Boys "On other Side
Have you not felt the spirit OF
the nation rise and its thought become
a single and common thought since
these eventful days in which we have
been sending our boys to the other
ilside9 | think you must read that
thought as do, to mean this: that the
people Of this country are not only
united in the resolute purpose to wiz
this war, but are ready and willing to
bear any burden and undergo any sac
rifice that it may be necessary for
them to bear in order to win it. We
need not be afraid to tax them if we
lay taxes justly. They know the war
must be paid for and that it is they
who must pay for it, and if the burden
is justly distributed and the sacrifice
made a common sacrifice from which
none escapes who. can bear it all, they
will carry it eheerfully and with
sort of solemn pride. I always have
been proud ITO be an American and
was never more proud than now, when
al that we have sad and all that we
have fOreseen about cur people is COM
ing true. The great days have come
and the only thing that they ask for or
admire is duty greatly and adequately
done; when their only wish for Ameri
Ca is that she may share the freedom
she enjoys; when a great compelling
sympathy wells up in their hearts for
men everywhere who suffer and are
oppressed; and they see at last for the
high uses for which their wealth has
been piled up and their mighty power
aecumulait and counting neither
blood nor treasure now that their fin
al day of opportunity has come, rejoice
to spend and to be spent through
long might of suffering and terror
in order that they and men everywhere
may see the dawn of q day of righte
BUSINESS and justice and peace. Shall
we grow weary when they bid us act?

FISH THAT STAY FRESH
Those That Are Frozen Just After Being Taken
 From the Sea.

Practicing economy in food buying, to those who have the desire, is large ly a question of keeping their eyes open to changes in supply and new methods of keeping and cooking.
 There is an unwarranted prejudice against frozen fish, but according to a prominent dealer, who has made study of kitchen psychology as well as of the fish business, this old idea that freezing spells the meat gives way be- fore actual demonstration. He gave fish dinner to several hundred wo- men in Massachusetts town, using a little known variety that must be fro zen to be marketed successfully. Most of the women who attended said it was hard for them to believe that frozen fish could be so delicious. Now they are regular buyers of this class of fish-in fact the consumption of this one variety doubled in New Eng land as result of telling the house. wife what she had been missing in good food and in opportunity for sav- 1 ing.
 It Is estimated that Cape Cod pro- duces annually about 100000 lbs. of this variety-the whiting-the flesh of which is so tender that it must be frozen in order to stand up in ship ment and on the market. Massachu- setts has been using only about 100,- 900 pounds a year, but men in the fishing industry now estimate that the sales this coming year will reach 50O,- 900 pounds. The consumer has | learned about the price and the flavor. Many Westerly people go to the beach 1 in the late Fall and pick the frost | hemmed fish from the shore.
 There are excellent reasons why frozen fish should be generally used wherever they can be kept frozen un- til used. In this process of preser- vation the fish, fresh from the sea, is frozen and then dipped in clean wa ter, which forms an air-tight coating of ice from head to tail. In this san itary envelope the fish is put in cold
 storage. In cold weather the house.
 wife can buy, such fish and keep a
 supply on hand for weeks or months
 if the temperature is below freezing. i Varieties that are usually frozen are
 plentiful and can be sold for rela-
 lively low price. The consumer
 should increase his vocabulary of
 names to include more than the half
 dozen varieties, that he now knows. He
 will earn a high price per word and
 will get acquainted with some of the
 most delicious food that comes from | the sea-Westerly Sun.

stevedores, for this is the remarkable record of how the great vessel has been handled at this port:
 First arrival 10000 men and sup plies unloaded and the ship coaled and sent back in four days.
 Second arrival, unloaded, coaled and sent back in three days.
 Third arrival, unloaded, coaled and sent back in AS hours.
 Fourth arrival, unloaded, coaled and sent back in 40.
 The magnitude of such an accom- plishment may be judged by the fact that 5000 tons of coal has to be put on the huge transport to send her back, and all of this must be loaded from lighters as her fl feet of draught keeps her far out in the har- bor. And all this in 40 hours besides debarling 10000 troops on lighters and several thousand tons of steel and emergency war cargo.
 Americans seem to have discovered for the first time that this port is nearer New York than any of the great ports, and is thus on the great commercial highroad from the west to continental Europe. This holds out a brilliant future for the port in the after the war commercial re- naissance. One of the foremost American engineers recently said he would like to undertake to make this the great commercial port of Europe and he believed this would certainly result from the American develop ment incident to the war. So that besides landing soldiers and supplies here, America is paving the way tc | making this the first port of Europe and the landing terminal for the l commercial penetration of Europe | from the west.

LOADING AND COALING OF J.. s.
 TROOP SHIPS IS SPEEDED UP

American Port, Western France, Aug. 29-(Correspondence of the As sociated Prsss)-The spirit which an- imates all Americans here is the same as that of the front line trenches, is the words of the general command ing. It is an inspiration of intense eagerness. This is shown by the fact that under the stress of haste to send American soldiers to the fighting front, the time required to unload the greatest of American transports bringing 12,O0o troops, coal her and start her back to America, has been reduced from four days to 40 hours.
 This is the best deep water port of western continental Europe with a harbor capable of receiving the navies of the world, and yet up to the time the Americans came here six months ago it was practically undeveloped and unused. It was estimated then that the facilities might possibly per- init the landing of 10000 men a month.
 But with 25O,OOO men a month coming from America, something had to be done on a gigantic scale and done quickly. Fortunately the emer- gency produced the men-an Ameri- can brigadier-general who has plan ned and executed some of the great engineering projects of the West, and an American admiral who has the reputation of accomplishing large things in a quiet way. Around them were grouped men of the same tall ents.
 Out of it has arisen this marvellous receiving port of today, where one days landing of 45,000 men has been followed the next day by 15,O00- i 0,000 in two days or at the unheard rate of 100000 a month. And the strange thing has been that the port has not felt or even known of the huge migration passing through it's

gates, so quietly and smoothly the or ganization has functioned.
 It is the same with the handling of the immense stocks of war supplies as it is with the handling of troops. Six months ago 1t was estimated that 6,0O0 tons month could be handled. Actually more than that is handled daily, and this is not the main port for suplies as it is for men.
 large measure of credit for the high record in debarking troops is given by the general to the officer in charge of the several thousand negro stevedores. This officer has had re- markable career which exactly equips him for the present huge undertake ing. He was a Liverpool docker, who went to the United States with the Cunard Company, and worked up to the position of terminal superintend- ent at Boston. As an expert and master of docking he was appointed a major in the army. But he forgets all about being a major when he takes command of these 2,000 black stevedores and a great ocean steamer heaves into sight with thousands of men aboard who must be landed on record time. All the old spirit of the Liverpool docker comes back again, he becomes a human dynamo, and the army or black stevedores follow him with the same eagerness that men follow their leader lover the top" ere are some examples showing just what this means:
 When the greatest of American transports first came over it took g days to unload her at Liverpool. The next trip was better-28 days. Then on the third trip it was decided to send her to this French port where the Americans had begun to take things over. It was a risky experi- ment, they thought. But they failed to reckon on the major and his black
