now Count de Grasse and French

General Washington at once resorted
to camoufiage He laid out camps os-

chambeau moved south and reached
the Delaware before the British
grasped the Yankee trick. Then it
was too late. The windows of Phil
adelphia were filled with ladies wav-

when the tattered COntinentals, their
clothes thick with dust but hats
plumed with sprigs of green, marched
through amid their torn battle flags
and rumbling cannon. Behind fol-

The day was the 10Th of October.
The victors were drawn up in two
lines mile long on the right and

autumn fields south of Yorktown.

army on the right, Rochambeau at the
head of the French on the left. Be

FOREST FIRES AND FISH.
Ashes Change the Slightly Acid condi-
ton of Trout Streams.

Everyone is more or less familiar
with the loss Of valuable timber sus-
| tanned each year from forest firea bus
there are other serious losses Of valu-
able natural resources from this cause
that have received but comparatively
! little attention. We refer to the wild
| life of the woods and streams, and
particularly TO the game and food
fishes. Based on a monetary valuation
the loss of wild life from forest fires
may appear insignificant compared
with the loss of timber, but when we
consider that the United States forest
service estimates that some 5000 900
people annually visit our national for
ests many or most Of them interested
in the fish and game we become aware

community. ~
In line with the growing tendency to
place large portion Of the responsible
ity Of conserving our natural resources
on those who reap the greatest bene-
fits therefrom, II seems proper I'd in
vite the attention of those persons who
find pleasure and healthful recreation
in fishing in the waters Of our forests
to the destructive effects of forest
fires on the fish. There is a deplorabfe
lack of reliable information and very
few recorded observations on the sub
iect. A few of the most Immediate ef
fects detrimental to fish life that may
be expected to follow forest fires are
a sudden rise in the temperature Of
the water, a lowering Of its oxygen
content, change in its chemical prop
critics and destruction of shade The !
slightly acid condition natural to most |
forest streams, and recognized as suit |
able for trout, is changed to alkeline |
from the ash deposited therein. A large |
amount of ash in the water may be /
expected to have deleterious mechan-
ical effect ON the fish aside from the
chemical changes.

for the Russian markets have little
