The Munchner Neueste Nachrichten
Sept 20 receives the following fisn-
ing report from the coast:
The catches from the chief fishing
conters on the Baltic, viz. Kiel, Flens-
burg and Eckernforde, have been in
significant this month also. AT the be-
ginning Of August large supplies
reached Flensburg, but since then there
have been no good catches; the her
ring catches from Brunswick and Son
derburg have not been repeated to any
great extent, and sprats, too, are
scarce.
"The Holding fishing feet which, IN
mid-August, brought good catches 20
Flensburg, including mackerel and cod.
now only arrives with scanty catches
of sea fish, Danish mackerel Is very
dear, much more so than last year.
"The reduction of prices expected
from the Capitalization of the FISH trace
has unfortunately not been attained;
on the contrary, the price OF almost
every kind of fish has considerably in
creased since early summer. Some
Flensburg fishermen, encouraged by
last years catches, started on the win
ter herring, but with such poor re-
suits that the expedition, which, IN
deed, started too soon, was postponed.
No herrings are caught in the Schles-
wig-Holstein coastal waters either. Only
at Aalen are fairly rich catches OBJ
tained and placed on the market.
AS mackerel fishing has begun IN
Kiel waters it is assumed that large
shoals of mackerel have visited the
western Baltic on the whole, there
fore, the sea fishing in western Baltic
waters and in the neighboring Danish
fishing grounds has achieved no i'm
nor+ant results"

The Munchner Neueste Nachrichten
oct, p publishes an article on the hard
ware industry from a trade source, in
which it is stated that the industry can
not possibly cope with the rush os or
ders assaiiing it lately.
MANY things prejudice the output
possibilities of the works. Apart from
labor trouble there is the supply or
raw materials to be considered, as the
shortage of wagons, which has set in
earlier than usual this year, has been
the cause of insufficient ana temporar-
lily inadequate delivery of materials.
Two months ago a special raw-ma-
terials supply office was instituted for
the Bergisch hardware trade in orGef
to supply manufacturers with the re-
quired amounts OF first quality steel
a further steep has now been taken
to simplify production by reducing the
number of assortmeNts in hardware
manufacture. An increase in price for
a number of articles has been asked
for. but the decision is still pending.
"The animated activity of the works
applies to all manufactures, army re-
quirements naturally taking the first

DEMOCRACY AND WAR.

Kansas City lMoD Star: The senate
military committees plan for war
council, independent Of the cabinet and
responsible directly to the president, is
in the direction of Capitalization and
coordination of authority and action
which the experience Of every belliger-
ent country has shown to be necessary
to the efficient prosecution of war.
An early mistake which the country
made was the attempt to raise and
equip an army of million men with
the peace time machinery of a war de-
partment geared 10 the routine of army
post administration. An attempt 70
conduct a war of the magnitude of this
one, war largely mechanical and in.
dustrial requiring the efficient utli2a-
ton of all the nations resources, with
the peace time machinery Of a cabinet
geared to ordinary routine, would be TO
repeat that mistake.
Cabinets and ministries, as America
and England know them, are not con
structed, either in personnel or in the
nature of the duties connected with the
posts, for the business Of making war.
War is production, and the American
cabinet knows no such things as sec
retary Of production. War is trans
nortation and we have no secretary Of
transportation. War is a dozen otEer
things that do not lie within the ken
of a peace time cabinet nor within the
mental training or experience Of cabi-
net members. England started out to
/ fight the war with twenty-Ihree min.
listers. Probably it was a body thai

ability measured by ordinary govern.
mental requirements. But when it tried
to make war it failed England now
permits its regular ministry to attend
to the regular civil business Of the en-
pire. but the war it has handed over
| to a separate council Of Eve.
English and American democracy do
not differ essentially. Their genius and
their weaknesses are about the same.
II England could not make war elec-
lively with a ministry constructed to
meet antebelum requirements, America
will not be more successful. Ceutrali.

DIR ARMY IN FRANCE.

The Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zoitunp
Of Berlin takes Secretary Baker SEE
verely to task for his statements re.
garding our eXpeditionary forces.
"The American secretary speaks of
an American army in France. There is
an American army in France, but it
consists entirely Of woodcutters rail
way men and doctors except two or
three divisions whose precious lives are
being spared in quiet places far behind
the front"
Mr.. Baker speaks, says The Zeitung
as if there would shortly be 1900 600
Americans in France. And the editor
proceeds To demonstrate conclusively
tnat there is no possibility of anything
of the sort.

BY Virginia Frazer Boyle.
Let us have peace" ay, peace, but
not until
The beast of greed Is parted from its
pray.
Let us have peace" but not until vic
tory's host
Proclaims the dawn Of an unfettered
day.
And traitorous be the lips to breathe
it now
Accursed be the tongues that idly
speak,
While demons in the twilight of the
gods,
Rapine and death upon the nations
wreak.
Let us have peace" ah, God, the
mockery creeps
Along the ways of life like petty
thieves,
To snatch the manhood that our
fathers gave
To taunt freeborn people as it
grieves.
Let us have peace" stand out there in
the light,
That truth may damn you as you say
your part;
Then mouth it there, before the blast
ing guns
There is no blood to trickle from your
heart.

We had been fighting almost contnu-

we received word to withdraw in order
to be reinforced. The reinforcements
consisted Of only fifty men and imme-
diately we We're informed that we had

Our whole division went into this az

All hell broke loose at this moment.
The boches evidently were expecting

our ranks that rapidly thinned them to
an alarming extent. Shrapnel also
took a heavy toll. and what was left of

resisting every attempt Of the boche

Three times they came over en- masse
to drive US out of our position, but with
rifles and the Lewis machine guns, than
which there are none better, we were
able to pour a whitening fire into the
closely packed ranks Of the oncomng
