Fred D. Bender, chairman of the

ceiVed a reply from James Stratton,
chief game warden and a member of
the New Jersey Fish Commission,
stating that the New Jersey Commits
sion would draft a fish bill and for
ward a copy to Mr.. Bender at an
early date. Some time ago Mr.. Bend
Ter requested the New Jersey Com
mission for a copy of a fish bill that
would be suitable to the New Jer-
sey fishermen, so that the matter
could be taken up with the Della
ware fishermen and the differences
Strengthened out before the next leg
islature meets.
A law governing fishing in the wa
ters of the Delaware River between
the two States is not binding unless
ratified by both States, and it is
hoped that by an exchange of views
at this time that a law suitable to
the fishermen of both States could
be drafted and passed by the legis-
lature of both States this winter.

VETERAN RE-ENACTED
EXPERIENCES ON HOSPITAL COT

One of the most pathetic and heart
rending scenes ever witnessed by the
nurses and doctors at the Milford
Emergency Hospital, occurred at
that institution last week when Stan
ley Rush, of Hudson, New York, was
admitted to the place for medical at
tention. Rush was taken to the hos
pital after he had fallen in a fit on
Lake View avenue, in front of the
home of DR.. G. Layton Grier. Soon
after having been admitted to the
hospital he in his delirium re-enact-
ed his experiences on the western
front in France where he was ser
iously wounded. He lived again, in
his trance, his soldier life while
fighting in the army. He would
charge at the Germans in front of
his lines, calling them vile names
such as were used by our soldiers in
