are now being made for their repar-
triation, a task in which the Y. M.
G. A, at the request of the army,
will assist in SO many as the army
wishes. According to announcement
of the plans for repatriation, made
here today, the German prisoners
to be released by the Americans are
less Teutonic and less Bolshevistic in
their thoughts and bearing than
any set of Germans in all Europe.

PROTECT THE FISH

While talking to Mr.. Frank Roun-
tree Saturday morning, who likes
to fish, and enjoys the sport as
much probably as Isaac Walton ever
did, says that he has lost interest in
the sport since the dams have broken
and the fish have been caught, or
driven away.
He was pleased to learn that the
dam would be placed at Barefoot's
Mill and the fish given another op-
portunity to thrive and thus afford
more good sport that has been en-
joyed for the past hundred years or
more.
When the dam is replaced reguIa-
tions for the protection of the pond
should be entered into by the city
and the owners of the land on eth
er side that the fish may be allowed
to accumulate, and give the sports
men some real good fishing. If nets
are kept out of the pond for reas-
enable length of time, and the pond
stocked with fish pretty soon there
will be ample fish to interest every
| one, .--s:f ! ,----s ~
