CONSERVE THE FISH
_ *1, v r vr; ?. :
Realizing its coining importance as a center of the
halibut fishing industry, Seward took part today in the
general effort to preserve and protect the halibut in wat
ers adjacent to Alaskan coasts from annihilation by en
dorsing the bill before congress, providing for a closed
period of two months during the spawning season.
One of the best things about this measure is that it
has the endorsement of fishermen, and the big packing
companies, as well as those bent on “conserving” natural
resources, showing that the measure has practical merit.
Those engaged in the halibut fishing industry in
American waters know that the danger of annihilation of
the halibut is no idle dream. Not so many years back
Boston was the center of the halibut fishing industry of
the United States. Now most of Boston’s halibut come
from banks in the gulf of Alaska. Halibut banks near Se
attle have been nearly fished out and northwestward runs
the course of halibut men today.
CUT DOWN SUNDAY DIET ?
Grouchiness is more prevalent on Monday morning
than at any other time in the week, and to such an extent
that life is made disagreeable temporarily for many
families and for many coworkers. That such manifesta
tions of ill feelings are detrimental to private and public
interests is widely acknowledged, btif'it ha£ regained for
Dr. Samuel G. Dxion, state commissioner of health*,.to dif
rect pubiic attention to the Monday morning grouch and|
to tell how it can be done avvav with. '
“The majority of peole,” Dr. Dixon says, “are apt to
fall into two general divisions. One class tries to crowd
0 .. „ r i- j/ , ■ •
too much into the time l»etween one-week’s end and the
• * y ,• * \ 1 < A«,
beginning of the next -week’s labor. They take up their
business on Monday morning exhausted and overtired in
stead of refreshed by the ‘day of rest.’ The other class
goes to extremes by overeating and underexercising, and
the result is equally unhappy."
To these causes the doctor could have added the
“hang over” from Saturday night, for that there is more
dissipation then than during any other night in the week;
is beyond dispute. This is followed by late rising on Sun
day morning, and, if the stomach will permit, the eating
of three meals, which are always heavier on Sundays
than on other days. The remedy, then, lies with the indi
vidual, and it consists in abstinence from liquor Saturday

QUEER RULES IN WAR
Imitating the bugle-calls of the enemy is quite legiti
mate; so is the wearing of their uniforms, with one reser
vation. A soldier may not fire on the enemy while so at
tired. But he may advance or retreat, build bridges, and
perform any other military operation short of actual
fighting, 'Using the uniform as a means of deception.
A soldier may spy as much as he likes. If he worms
his way into the enemy lines he is only doing his duty and, I
if qq.ptured .there, may not be punished beyond being;
taken an ordinary prisoner, provided he is wearing uni-,
form. If (he is in any kind of disguise he may be shot.
In the course of his spying he may kill as many of the
enemy as he can. When he approaches the sentries he
may stab them in the dark, or use any trick to throw them
off their guard except one. He may not say “friend” if
the sentry challenges him (unless, of course, he intends to
surrender.)
Similarly, if suddenly attacked, he may not use any
words to make the enemy believe that he is a friend in dis
guise, and so take him unawares.
These are accepted rules of warfare.

PEACE ENFORCED
- i
♦
The naval preparations of the United States are dis
cussed by the Temps, which in giving details of the pro
gram adopted by the United States congress, says that
never in history of the world has a power entered upon
so great an enterprise in naval construction as the United
States is now doing, and calls attention to the fact that
England in her last naval appropriation before the war be
gan, allotted only 391,000,000 francs fob new construction.
The Temps alludes to the words of peace recently uttered
by the President in which is was anticipated that hostili
ties would cease without conqueror or conquered, and
adds:
“But the United States prepares for the future ana
its naval projects reveal a desire to conquer in the event
of war. Today the United States counsels peace to the
belligerents but it seems to be preparing to impose it to
morrow by arms.”
