Hundreds Still Interned-Treatment Called Oversevere by the
 Dutch Press.

Harderwijk, Holland of men and women of all nationalities, considered undesirable but accorded refuge and hospitality by the Neither lands, are still confined behind barbed wire fences in the big war internment camp here. They still are sources of trouble to the Dutch government. Many of them are war refugees, es- capped from Germany or Belgium. and to their number since the war have been added several scores of Russians of hoIsheyist tendencies, whom the government has confined here for safe keeping
 The Russians have been particularly troublesome, but the means taken by one of the Dutch military officers in charge of the camp to control their actions are reported in the Dutch press to have been so severe that recently ? number of Dutch soldiers are said to have mutinied rather than obey the orders.

Past GRAND Master E. Marriott FOw-
Ter Presented With Handsome Jewel
On Friday evening the Past Grand
Officers Association of the Grand
Lodge of Delaware paid the local lodge
a visit which proved to be one OF the
most pleasant evenings in the history
of the local lodge. Morning Star
Lodge had quietly arranged to have
the members of the association pres
ent on this occasion when the lodge
presented Past Grand Master Fowler
with a Past Grand Masters jewel and
as he has been a member of the Past
Grand Officers Association for more
than thirty years, more appropriate
time could not have been selected. In
1888 Mr.. Fowler was elected to the
office of Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge of Delaware, the highest Office
in the Grand Lodge and during his
term of office, Odd Fellowship made
marked progress.
At the time of his retirement it was
not the custom to present the Jewel
to retiring officers which plan has
since developed. Morning Star Lodge
has long realized the true worth of E
M. Fowler as faithful and devoted
member, therefore, as token of theil
highest esteem, he was presented will
handsome Past Grand Master Jewel
which came as a complete surprise tt
him. District Deputy Grand Maste
Harry P. Jones, made the presentation
and in the course of his remarks men
toned that there were three Odd Eel
lows present who followed each Othe
in the office of Grand Master; GeOrg

Although shad have become almost
extinct in the Delaware river, several
million shad fry have been liberated
in the upper tributaries and head
waters of the river by cooperation of
New Jersey and Pennsylvania fish and
game commissioners. Still confident
that the shad and other food fish can
be restored in their Old-time plenty to
the Delaware under proper conditions,
the commissioners will continue prop
agation, believing that public senti-
ment will eventually become strong
enough to force the State health au-
