II I I I40W FISH IN INLAND WATERS German Submarines Have Driven Hardy Dutch Sailors From Their Occupation in the North Sea. In this day of the lurking submarine "the waters of the North sea are a marked danger zone for the fisherman | of the Netherlands, and consequently the rivers and inner seas of Holland are thronged with brown-sailed fishing smacks, all eagerly pursuing the elusive herring, salmon, pike and carp. Until the boat's tanks or barrels are , t filled the determined fisherman sticks j at his job. If a good haul is soon made he may steer the craft up some * ranal to an inland town to market | * his catch. He gets out the sign, "Tlsli for Sale," and fastens it to the ? jnast, draws the boat up to tue canal's * -sdge, and is soon besieged by house* wives anxious to inspect his wares. The fish, as if conscious of their pending* fate, swim uneasily about in the I ?ar.k, while thrifty D\itch matrons 1 follow certain ones excitedly with a ' forefinger, and the seller endeavors to 1 locate the desired fish in the swarming tub. 1 <jn a summer evening >vjueu a iieei * of the good ships has made port after 1 hard day's work, a fishing village is < * T>ne of the most picturesque sights in Holland. Sails patched or torn and * flapping rise and fall in the harbor = 'with the motion of the waves. The 1 brawny Dutch fisherman, revived by ' supper and the evening pipe, is curing 1 fish and exchanging stories with neigh- 1 tors on the dock, while his wife sits * before her cottage mending nets, or perhaps adorning a torn sail with a ^rfvid red patch. There is little rest for these hard-working seamen and their wives. Fish 3iave long been to Holland what rice to China or the potato to America. With its food supply ebbing danger"*>tisly low, Holland looks more than ' <ever to her fisher folk to feed the jpeoplc. liEWSBOYS ON BATTLE FRONT ^Belgian and French Youngsteri; Take Great Risks While Distributing i Papers to the Soldiers. i During the first days of tfce war British soldiers going up to Mors from i Boulogne were hailed by an ancient i French dame with her only British i * "phrase, "Da-e-ly Ma-i-1."

London.?"The fighting pilots don't *et all the fun of the war in the air," ivrites a young 'bird' who had a thrilling experience recently, returning to liis base in a flaming plane. v "We were flying over No Man's Land," he says, "spotting for the artilery, and by constantly changing direc:ion and height we had pretty well escaped the attention of the ubiquitous Archie. The 'shoot* was progressing satisfactorily, and our battery wor'd soon be all ranged.

New York.?Two hundred suspected slackers, caught in the greatest man hunt tn the history of Gotham, rolled, tossed, groaned and cursed during the first night of their incarceration in the Tombs. They also aroused the patriotic wrath of other prisoners, such as burglars and felons, drunks . and dope nenas. "Can yon beat it?" whined one oldtimer, up for cracking a safe. "How do them guys get that way? Take it from me, I don't want to be mixed up with that slacker bunch." And then, as though drawing the final line of classification, the oldtimer shouted to a husky "conscientious objector": * "They hain't no cooties in nere, do.

RAIDING PLANES I TERRIFY ENEMY i i' Germans Thrown Into Panic by i Daring Tactics of Allied I ""rc- : MACHINES SKIM THE EARTH ! I I !; Low-Flying Airplanes Disorganize Foe ( | by Sudden Burst of Fire at Close Range?Break Up Transport Columns. London.?The progressive effective- \ < ness of the allies, both in the construc- j1 tion of airplanes and In the air fight- 1 ing, has never before been more clear- 5 ly proved than in the recent operations ! I on the western front. In last month's '< offensive the harrying of German cav-;, airy, marching infantry and transport i, hv lnw-flvin? airnlanes was ti? first I example of a really large scale conn- | ter-offensive from the air. From a R. A. F. officer of long ex- f perience It was learned that it is now ; a deliberate method of air fighting not ? conducted on the tip and run principle . of one swooping dive to earth, bringing the airplane into close rifle range only f at the lowest point of the dive, but by machines which fly audaciously low 1 until their ammunition is exhausted, so < low that pilots have identified the s regimental insignia of the troops at- { tacked, so low that the airplane wheels , have been known to skim the earth. , Transport Columns Broken Up. j? The object of these low-flying pilots i, has been to disorganize the Germans j c by a sudden burst of fire at close range,! * and very successfully they have done [ it, especially when breaking up trans- j port columns and causing stampedes j t of frightened horses. But the method t has developed until now a British air- j plane will fly along?not merely across t I ?a trench, machine-gunning it, and j t such a thing may happen, as at Hamel, where airplanes and tanks co-operated to such purpose that the infantry ad-1 vanced upon an already quite disorganized enemy. j ( It is routine work for the low-flying airplane to interrupt GermaR, working parties far behind the lines with machine gun fire, and when one remembers that the same parties are likely to be bombed In their billets from the air ' by night, their heart for work may be t Imagined, for both day and night the a i^11-mnTvn a 1c.c? /?omna n UUlllUiiig Ui. l an w a jo, an uiviuco, ?.oiu{/? j and dumps goes on with its simultane- c ous effect upon supply, communication ^ and morale, and far behind the lines the sources of supply on the Rhine are 1 being persistently devastated. j And this is almost by the way. The e soldier comes before supply, and it . is the soldier who is the objective of the ^ low-flying airplane, the soldier who suffers in person and morale, by the ceaseless bombing of billets. It is the I aggressive air war of the entente which steadily and accumulatively depreciates the morale of the German soldier. "And an ammunition dump was blown up." What thrilling stories may lie behind many of these brief stereotyped phrases in the official communi- " cation! "Ail ammunition dump was blown up,"?and much else besides. Sprays Them With Bullets. Here is just one little incident told by Lieut. L. Walmsley of the R. A. F., > which may serve by way of illustra- , tion: The Germans were reported to be : concentrating at. the village of X. A j little chaser was run out, and the pilot I ordered to confirm the report, to harass the enemy as much as possible with machine gun fire; also to use his J precious light bombs on the best avail- < able target. Ten minutes' flying brings him to ! the trench lines, ana me aeaienmg noise of battle drowns even the sound j of the engine. The Germans are attacking and a ; long, ragged, gray line of piled np ; corpses, which the airman at first mis- i takes for sandbags, shows the terrible j price they are paying. ; But shtftering behind this ghastly! ' rampart of human flesh are living j | Huns, and the pilot dives down until i j he is only 50 feet above them. Then, \ | as he skims over the line, he opens fire ! i with both guns, pouring out a hail of j | death that soon visibly thickens the in-1 j animate gray masses. But *here is even more important | i work at hand. The village of X is j j quickly reached. The market square j i is crowded with artillery and ammu-j i * ! ! nition carts. Diving to a height of less | ; than 500 feet, the airman drops a; ' j bomb, and turns, just in time to avoid j ; the force or tne concussion caused Dy \. the tremendous explosion that fol- j j lows. A direct hit has been made on I the ammunition cart, and the havoc i wrought in that market square baffles; description. The roads leading backward from the village are now carefully reconnoitered. There is no sign of life until a large wood is reached. Here a squadron of Uhlans is found. A second bomb is landed right in the midst 1 of them, and in a few seconds the adjoining fields are brown with stampeding horses. The Unloaded Gun.
