BACK INTO MUTT

In many Of the camps and canton
ments, the process Of Generalization
Is proceeding rapidly. The United
States Government has pledged itself
to return men to industry just 90 soon
as they can be released from the Amy
service.
It follows, from Che immense
amount Of paper work involved, that
there VIII be long delays. In the
meantime the men everywhere must
be patient and must realize that the
Army administration is doing all that
can be done.
While they are waiting, It would be
well for them to call to mind the re-
sponsibilities involved in their return
to mutt. For months they have been
in olive drab. Their meals and quar-
tiers and clothing have been provided.
They have had no responsibilities re-
garding their own creature comforts.
Soon they are to 60 back into civil
ian life to take up again the duties Of
making their own way In the world.
In the Army they have learned dis
cipline. They have learned much Of

THE SURRENDER OF THE GERMAN FLEET

In the reports Of the surrender Of
the German High Seas Fleet, it 10
stated that the British officers and
sailors received the news of the for
NAL transfer of the ships without
cheering. In their judgment the sur
render was too contemplate to cheer.
For years the German sailors had
toasted Der Tag" It was to them
the day when they should test their
feet against the British, and when
they should wrest the supremacy of
the seas from Britain's navy.
der Tag" became translated into
English, "The Day." It was a day
when what the Germans called the
~inadmissible" had come to pass,
when their own feet surrendered
without being beaten.
The might of Britain's Navy sup
plemented by the French and the
Italian, and, later, by the American,
had kept the ocean lanes open to
Allied shipping. In the great battle
OF the wax on the seas, the Germans
had been routed and, according to
their own naval expert, Captain Per-
sins, only weather conditions and UNI

The battalion sergeant major, who

Then the men began dropping out.
Now you know what morale is.
The men that have given thought to
the subject say that man Is condi-
toned by his environment; the result
is an emotion; the next step is a con-
victions the final step is an action. In
the case of the battalion the order
was this: The major was depressed
because of his environment; his emo
tons led to the conviction that he was
not being treated fairly. His convic-
ton led to the action of speaking his
thoughts aloud. The same history
can be traced in the enlisted men and
the action which was the elimination
of their experiences consisted in drop
ping out Of the hike.
When the Panama Canal was being
built, Lieutenant Colonel Gaillard, Of
the Regular Army, was assigned to
the work in the Culebra section. He
had O large force OF men; he had
ample funds and the most modern ma
chinery. With his minds eye he Wis
ualized the meeting of the oceans.
Literally his faith was Of the kind that
would move mountains.
For months he toiled. His men be-
gan to make an impression on the
eternal hills. Finally the way Of the
Canal was dug. But then nature
groaned her protest and the noun
tains slid into the waterway.
Immediately a complaint went up
from ali parts Of the country. It was
stated that the plans for the Canal
were all wrong. that the whole en-
deavor was projected in haste and
without scientific study of the physi-
cal difficulties. The newspapers took
Up the cry. Engineers confirmed their
fears.
But Colonel GaiIlard went steadily
forward with his work. He was not
Influenced by criticism OF BY fears.
Ultimately it became apparent that
his determination would triumph. He
had put his whole heart and his whole
strength into the work. He did not
live to see its accomplishment. But
he did i've long enough to see that Its
accomplishment was a certainty.
A grateful nation paid tribute to his
faith and his works by calling his sec

The moral of this statement about

MORALE

The word "morale" has been much
@ the public mind During the re-
eent drive for funds fow the seven
s1lied organizations whose concern is
Che welfare Of the troops, the cities
Of this country were placarded with
&gns telling that morale" had won
The war.
What d morale?
II Is something 50 important that q
separate branch Of the General Staff
Of the United States Army was
created some time ago which was to
concern itself only with morale.
1t is something 90 important that
Marshal Foch stationed Intelligence
Officers at many points whose sole
duty it was to report ON the state OF
the enemy morale. At the moment
when it was reported that the German
morale was weakening, Marshal Foch
struck In the counter attack that was

signed.
The dictionary calls morale, 1.-THE
state Of mind, in reference to courage,
fidelity and the like in movements OF
enterprises in which large numbers OF
men are engaged, as, for instance,
soldiers in battle"
But the dictionary statement stops
short OF definition. Morale can best
be defined by illustration.
During the Mexican campaign q
National Guard battalion had achieved
an almost perfect record on q march
covering three days. On the third day
the hike had been fourteen miles and
not q man dropped out.
On the morning of the fourth day
forty-nine men had to be taken up by
the amhulances. A surgeon was
called. He examined the men and

made to resume the march.
But the military leaders began an
Investigation. This is what they dis
covered. On the morning of the fourth
day q major, after q sleepless might,
had stated In the hearing Of . sergeant
major that there was no reason for
the hike, anyway. The only fact he
could discover was that the Regular
Army men were trying 20 show up

they could have learned in no other

Take merely the matter OF Matte1s
ing out the cans that contained their
food stuffs. They watched the mefi
of the sanitary squads as they insisted
upon Aattening out these cans and
often wondered why such elaborate
care was taken. But soon they came
to see that cans unhattened would
catch the rains and other water. They
came to understand that staGnant

saw that this care was taken because

BLAST OF DEPTH CHARGE KILLS 4 AMERICAN SfAMEN Court of Inquiry to Probe Accident Aboard U. $.
 Ship Orizaba.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Explosion of a depth charge on board the U. S. S. Orizaba at sea on August IF, killed Lieutenant Commander William Price Williamson and three enlisted men, and wounded Commander R. D. White and eighteen men.
 A report on the acident reaching the navy department today shows that Lieutenant Commander Williamson, who was executive officer was in- stantly killed. and that commander White, the commanding officer had his jaw broken and knee cap fractured. The sailors killed were:
 Samuel T. Lambert, Riverside, N J., Frank J. Mayer, Cincinnati; Ar thur K. Baird, Pittsburgh, Pa.
 Commander Williamson's widow lives in New York City. The officer was born in Virginia and was ap- pointed to the naval academy from Minnesota.
 If the report told what happened to the submarine the departments an- .nouncement did not mention it.. No material damage was done to the Orizaba by the explosion. A court of inquiry has been ordered to investi- gate the cause.

Fish Euus.

The cod is estimated to yield 45, ,OOO,. GOO eggs each season. As many as S,O0O.0O0. 100000 and even 9,5OOO00 eggs have been found in the roe of a single cod. An eel was caught in Scot. land some years ago which contained upward of 10.OOO.OOO eggs. This. how. ever. would appear to have been an ex- ceptional find. and 1t is generally ad. mitted that the cod Is more prolific than any other fish. Though not equaling the cod, many kinds of fish are exceedingly prolific. More than 36,O00 eggs have been counted in a herring, 88,OOO in a smelt. 100000 in a sole, 1,12O,OOO in roach, 3.OOO,Q00 in a sturgeon, 342.000 in @ carp, 383,OOO in a tench, 546O00 in a mackerel, 992,O00 in a perch, and 1,357, 900 in a founder. The oyster is also very prolific. It has been as. certained by recent observation that in the liquor of their shells small oysters can be seen by aid of the mi. croscope-7--120 in the space of an inch, covered with shells. and swimming ac. lively about. A herring weighing six or seven ounces is provided with about 3OO0O eggs. It has been estl. mated that in three years single pair Of herrings would produce 154,O0O.O00. Bnffon calculated that if a pair of herrings could be left to breed and multiply undisturbed for period of 20 years they would yield an amount of fish equal in bulk. to the globe London Tit-Bits.

BEST THEATER TODAY.

The ever agile Douglas Fairbanks makes his appearance at the Best theater again today. In this picture, "say, Young Fellow" which chronicles the adventures of an over-zealous newspaper reporter, Doug has an op- portunity to do something exceed ingly unusual in the category of athletic stunts. It for the most part is a typical Fairbanks play, but from many angles it completely outclasses many of his former plays.
 In "Say, Young Fellow" Mir. Fair banks is a daring, impulsive, re- sourceful and optimistic newspaper reporter, whose peculiar methods, em- phasized as they are by the vigorous action, make this one of the strongest characterizations of the brilliant Fairbanks repertoire.
 MT. Fairbanks geniality never was more piquantly displayed than in this portrayal. He fairly exudes good humor and his smile is as contagious as ever, even when he finds himself in danger, due to his misconception of certain situation which has a vital bearing upon the development of the story. He vaults over flower beds like a kangaroo, jumps fences, scales the front of building as if it were toy house, takes refuge in an engine house filled with whirling ma chinery and does many other stunts which will make an audience gasp. Frank Campeau is the villain and Marjorie Daw is the girl who assist Fairbanks in this splendid picture of the "Young Fellow" who wins cut against odds

LOBSTER NOW LUXURY
Food Has Passed Beyond the
 Reach of the Poorer People.
Should Catch Small Lobster and Leave Larger ones to Breed, ls Opinion
 Expressed by Expert.

The lobster has passed beyond the reach of the poor and has become luxury only to be enjoyed by the rich. Every year the price of Holsters ad- vances few points, and even at the highest price offered 1t is difficult to obtain them. From Massachusetts comes the information that were it not for the catches in Maine and Nova Scotia, Holsters could not be had in Massachusetts, for the waters of that state have been flshed out. In 1888, so the Boston Transcript says, 1,74O,s50 Holsters of legal size were caught in Massachusetts. In 1914, only 16,13s were taken there. The opinion seems to be gaining ground in Massachusetts that mistake has been made in deal- ing with the lobster industry. The small lobster has been protected, while the large lobster, which is the one which produces an enormous quantity of young, has been taken. This, it is held by some, Is wrong. We should catch the small lobster, so it is argued, and leave the bigger ones to breed.
 There seems to he some virtue in this contention. because in spite of the lobster matching plants maintained by the federal government fewer Holsters are being taken each year. while the demand for them is continually in- creasing. This, of course, accounts for the high prices. It is also claimed that in planting lobster fry the federal agents have made serious blunders. The fry have been liberated in places where they have been subjected to the attacks of other fish, and few of the Holsters matched in the government plants have ever attained a size where they could look after them. selves. The experienced fisherman of the Maine coast have frequently called attention to the mistakes which were being made in lobster propagation and preservation, but as frequently hap pens in the making of laws, the opin- ions of men who. know something about Holsters and their habits have been ignored. and the theorists have been the only ones consulted.
 If the federal government should put 8 closed time on lObsters for several years and arrange with the Canadian government to do the same thing. it is reasonable to suppose that the lob. sters would increase and this industry would regain something of the magni' tude 1t has lost. But we have no idea that such a plan will he adopted. It would be strenuously opposed by the dealers, who now make large profits in the business, and probably by the fishermen also, who have considerable capital tied up in their fishing gear. What has happened in Massachusetts, where few Holsters are now being taken, must eventually take place in Maine, and unless some radical step Is adopted the time is not far away when even as a luxury the lobster will be- come SO scarce as to be beyond the reach of everyone save the epicurean of the plutocratic class.-Portland Press.
