APPEAL MADE TOBRITISHERS
 NOT IN VAIN

PARIS, Aug. 28 Correspondence of Associated Press) An appeal to the British soldiers dictated by the then General Foch, asking them to remember their forefathers' victory over Napoleon, inspired them to at tack the Germans and recover the ground they had lost before the gas wave at the second battle of Ypres, writes Colonel Feyler in the Journal De Geneve.
 Before the asphyxiating gas both British and French had been obliged to give ground. The then General Foch intended to recover the former positions at all costs, according to Colonel Feyler. He asked General Sir John French to cooperate with him. Impossible" replied French, r'mv men are ready to hold here but do not feel that 1 can demand or them in their present condition fur ther sacrifices in attacking
 Foch expressed surprise "Their morale is low" he said. "Why don't you launch a proclamation? Some thing like this: British soldiers, forward. You who have vanqulshed the great Napoleon, shall it come to pass that you will permit the loWly German to drive you from your posi- tions and retain them?'"
 How is that?" asked French greatly interested. "Please repeat it." And at the dictation of Foch, French wrote out the proclamation which was given out to the troops the next day
 The next morning the British sol diers hit the line and recovered all the lost ground.

viii Spol Herring Fishing

What will happen to the big herring
catches along the Delaware river when
the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal is
made a sea-level waterway and the
fresh water in the waterway disar-
pears !? The fresh water at the mouth
of the canal at Delaware City has al
ways attracted the herring by the hum
dreds of thousands every spring. But
now that the waterway is to be made
sea-level and the fresh water will there
fore disappear, fishermen are wonder
ing what will happen to the industry in
the future. It is an interesting prob
lem to the fishermen, many of whom
have in the past made large sums OF
money in the herring industry. Some
seasons past it was nothing unusual for
several million of the bony fish to be
caught in a single season, but now it
seems the industry is doomed on the
Delaware and the great herring catches
will become only matter Of history.

Recently found nailed to a tele-
phone pole in Hope was a two page l.
w. w. pamphlet, addressed to farm
laborers. 1t tells about farm hands
coming to the state in the spring
In search of work and instructs them
how to hire out, to quit or force the
farmer to pay more wages and give
shorter hours. 1t says, Farmers
must have their grain cut and in ord
der to do this they must have help,
of course, you will always hear the
cry that they will let the grain rot
In the field rather than pay the wag-
es demanded, but the farmers know
this would be suicide for them and
their families and finally they will
come through" I I 1
No matter what wages or hours
these Wobblies might demand, If
they could organize the whole Of the
farm labor 1t would either force the
farmer out of business or bow to
their outrageous demands.
Further on we find this gem, LAS

and the crew decide they want a
raise in wages, a shorting of hours
or some other matter, they will not
go to the famer as an individual and
tell him their troubles, for il they
did he would fire them one at a time
and his work would go on just the
same; what they will do is elect a
delegate to go to the farmer with
thir demands and state to him that
unless they are granted at once. he
will he without u member OF his
crew. The farmer will think twice
before letting the whole crew go off
his place. but even il he did and you
were in the same organization as the
men who went on the strike the old
method Of staying away and picket
ing the job would not he carried on,
but instead the farmer unknowingly
and at once would get another I. w.
w. crew which would apply Job tao
tics till he was finally forced to come
through with the demands as first
put up to him"
Putting the thing up good and
plain. No way to side step this pro-
position. You as a farmer must bow
to the I. w. w. But further We find
something that is more %interestig
to all of us, not only are they figur-
ing on catching the farmer and hold
ing him while some brother l. W. w.
skins him, but they are going to get
strong enough to make us all sub
jects of theirs.
tf"As soon as you get into this
union you will learn that we are
not only concerned in getting more

will be strong enough to take over
