BRITAIN PAGES HERRING.

Washington, Oct. 24-Havfng be- gun investigation of the habits of the eel. British authorities are now de- votiA-, their attention to the elusive North Sea herring. Squadrons of seaplanes are employed to locate miss ing schools and advise British fish ermen where they may be found.
 A report from the office of the American Trade Commissioner in London says lack of herring has caused serious alarm on the east coast of England. Besides the seaplanes a special boat has been sent out from Lowestoft, the centre of the British herring fisheries, to make 8 sur vey.
 One reason advanced by David Young of Lodesto oft, who has had for ,ty-ffve years experience and never knew of a shortage such as the present is the abnorma11y calm weather. ''The fishing grounds re- quiTte winds just as much as the land" he said, s'and the herring feels the warm weather and has kept to the bottom He suggests that mine explosions during and after the war may be another cause.

Bushnell being Vice-Presi- dent F. P F'urlong, of the Hartford Aetna National Bank, Hartford. Mr. Bushnell complained of indigestion be- fore retiring. and was taken i'll dur ing the night, passing away at day break Death was attributed to heart disease, from which he had been sufferer to some extent for several months.
 Mir. Bushnell, who was 57 years old, leaves a wife and two young children. He was a member of the Yale class of 1888, and soon after his graduation became interested in public utilities, and was connected with the Edison Company, and later with the General Electric Co.

PEACE MAY BRING
 PARDON FOR nEbS
Daugherty to Submit His Recommendations After Proclamation Is Issued.

Washington, Oct 24-With the consumation of peace. President Harding faces a. renewal of the am nesty drive and demands for the re- turn of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, the escaped draft dodger, who fled from Germany into Switzerland with the beginning of the peace negotia- tions.
 It was indicated that Attorney Gen eraI Daugherty will formally submit immediately after. the exchange o4 treaty notifications and the proclama- tion peace. These are expected within two weeks.
 Contrary to general belief, the Debs opinion does not mention the cases of the. 147 other political pris- oners whose release has been re- quested by the American Federation of Labor individual citizens, and civil liberty organizations.
 MT. Daugherty. it was said, has drawn up no opinion on, the release of the other prisoners, which indi- not plan a general grant of amnesty. It is understood that the Civil 1iber- ties Union has been unable to get any sort of commitment out of the Administration on general amnes- ty grant. The fact, however, that the Administration is committed to giving consideration to the Debs case is taken as indicating that pardon is being considered.
 Senator Watson (Dem., Ga.) has prepared a resolution calling for the release of the political prisoners and has taken up the question with Pres Ident Harding.
 It Is understood the Government is watching for any opportunity to get Bergdon back. The Canadian Gov ernment had under consideration a request for RergdolFs extradition on the charge of forging a. Canadian passport for Germany, but this plan Is understood to have been aban- doned. Secretary of War Weeks has declared repeatedly that the Cnited States would get BergdolL Just how this is to be accomplished he has not said and veTy likely. does not know. State Department officials won't discuss the matter.

6. Q. P ECONOMY"
 CALLED AIR CASTLE
Democrats See $37O,OOO,OOO Treasury Deficiencies As Proving Savings" Jug gled.

Washington, Oct. 24-Promises to save money-cut the annual budget fdown-are now rising to embarrass the Republican leaders of Congress, for its growing plain that they cannot make good. Figures have been jug Gled to make a showing, but now these are coming back on the jugglers.
 In the face of the claims of say lngs made in appropriation bills. at the beginning of the present Congress, the Treasury Department is preparing to send estimates to the House Appro- priation Committee for approximately S37O, O,00O,00O to cover deficiencies for the first three months of the present fiscal year.
 Democratic leaders charged the Re publicans with building air castles on savings to fool the people. The Dem ocratS pointed out that the sums lop-- ped from the regular appropriation bills would be appropriated later in deficiency measures, and it looks as if the prediction would come true ear Her than expected. If the Treasury needs deficiency appropriations this early in the game the totals for the year will be enormous and the Repubz Hcan promises of economy will prove absurd. r-r..--
 The second month of the present fiscal year a Shipping Board defi- ciency bill for S4S, S,5O0,OO0 was passed.
 President Harding announced some time ago that his Administration had
 
 retary Melons contemplated esti- mates throw d new light on that an nouncement. Mr. Mellon estimated that it would take s4,554, ,OO0,OO0 for the year, but later he explained that MT. Hardings would reduce that amount by S520,000,000.
 Now, Democratic leaders of Con- gress state, the $520,0OO,0O0 is made up of 100000 Pittman act certi- ficates, which the Government decid- cd not to pay at this time, and the S350, 100000 announced a saving by President Harding, which repre- sents nothing more tangible than the difference between what Secretary Mellon thought Aug. I and what he thought on Aug. 10, after a session with the Committee on Ways and Means and the President
 Minority leaders in Congress assert that the Republicans juggled their figures to hoodwink the people whose eyes are now opening to the real sit uation. The deficiency bills will dish out the alleged savings announced earlier in the year, they charge.

WAR CHAPTERS SAFE
 AFTER ARMISTICE DAY
Fraud and Bribery Rife, Committee Reports, But Time for Penalty Flies.

Washington, Oct. 24-There is one group in the United States that is waiting for the coming of Armistice Day, Nov. II, without reference to the Arms Conference that conveQes on that day or the obsequies of the unknown dead These are the war prof1teers arraigned by the Graham committee for frauds on the Govern n1ent whose prosecution was prom ised in a hundred campaign speeches and which Attorney General Daugh- .erty announced would be one of the first acts of his administration.
 Nov. 1 is Arnnistice Day for them on many counts, for it is the day after which. by action of the statute of limitations, they are exempt from prosecution.
 For weeks the Graham committete hearings filled the newspapers with accounts of every sort of graft. Of the Standard Steel company, whose leading director was Secretary Mellon, the committee report said
 There were fraud and bribery ad- mittea by the Government agents in some of the subcontracts. but all such accounts were allowed in full; of small tools from the plant Ghe Government factory)F and removed them clandestinely to their own plant"
 The report told further of the sale to the company for $300.G0O of builo- ings and materials which had cost 5,5O0,0o0, though there was a bid in for s7OO,00O from another relia- I ble firm, which Col E. S. Hughes negotiating officer, concealed from his associates
 Another case recommended for ac- Etion by the Department of Justice was that of contracts in connection with the construction of the huge plant at Nitro, w. Va.
 Two months ago 8 bill was sug- gested in Congress extending the sta ifa{ co TnIIl6 run six years instead of three, but no action was taken That was the last heard in the matter of prosecu- ton of war grafters and prohteers.
