Schools Of Fish Block Filling in Of Reservoir

New York, Nov. s (P,--Izaak Wal ton may have known d lot about fish, but Park Commissioner Walter Hcrrick believes he has q problem that would have given even that well known expert pause.
 Some time ago the city fathers decreed that the old south reservoir in Central Park should be filled up with dirt and adorned with grass, shrubs and playground apparatus.
 Plans for the change were pro- crossing splcndidly until someone thought Of the fish. The waters of the old reservoir are alive with thcm-thousands upon thousands Of pike, perch and bass.
 Officials said that draining the water off is q haIf-way solution at best. There arc enough fish 10 cover the bottom. if this were done. park officials added, and before they could be gathered up the air, of Central park and points north. east south and west would be tainted be- yond endurance.
 SoW"One suggested that all of New York's anglers be invited ,o cast their lines into the pond, but Commissioner Herrick believes that angling is leisurcly process
 So he doubts the efficacy of that and of all other suggestions thus far advanced.

Hammers Reduce Proud German Fleet to Scrap Iron

Rosyth. Scotland. Nov s (P)- While the world celebrated another Arlnistice Day. this British naval base was writing the noisy final chapter of the World War on the sea.
 The last of the scuttlcd German warships of Scapa Flow has been lowed in. bottomside up. from its parking place on the floor of the ocean.
 Ten years Of barnaclcs have been scrapcd from the hull, and amid the rlanG Of sledgehammers and the hissing or torches, this cnce great ship is being reduced to junk.
 Oddly. perhaps sisnificg ntly, this final reduction of a proud fleet 10 junk metal is being completed al tune when statesmen arc concon- trating as never before on the prob lem Of reduction of navics, and at tim" when evacuation of the Ithncland is ringing down an as h"stos curtain on the World war as Wagod upon the land.
 When the sailors of the surrcu- dcrod German fleet opened the sea cocks of their ships at Scapa Flow Jun" 2l, l9l9, they created q prob lem in salvage that taxed 10 the utmost the ingenuity Of modern en- ginccIs.
 Only three light cruisers and Sonc smaller vessels were success fnlly bcachcd by British crews that day: the other scuttlod warships went to the bottom. One by one. 1 however, they were pumped full Of air and floated down from the Ork- neys 10 the docykards here. The first to be brought to the surface was the destroyer N-70. a big ship of the so class which had sunk in 20 fathoms in the center of the Flow. That left oS destroy CTS. 10 battleships and five battle cruisers still to be salvagcd-a long job.
 After five years of laborious opor- arions-it is finished. Evcr the 2S.- 900 ton Hind"nburg, zoo feet long, the last word in German naval con Struction at the time if was surrcn- dcrcd, has been toWcd in and de- Iivcrod to the junkimg crews.
