Peet, who recently returned to the United 8tates from Turkey, say# that there are $0 va rieties of edible fish In the Bosporus. Daring normal times great wagonloads of these fish were carried through Constantinople. A fish 20 Inches long often sold for the equivalent ef five cents. The poor were thus able to obtain food for very little money. To day a similar fish Ib sold for tea times the usaal price. "This Is not because there arc fewer flsh in tho Bosporus," Bald Doctor Peet, "but because there Is no longer an adequate supply of fish ermen." Much Honey (^Australia.

Disclosure in the house today by Chairman Padgett, of the naval committee, that President Wilson, in a cablegram last week to Secretary Daniels, ' insisted that Jpob groKs adopt the new three-year naval building program, was followed by fu tJlc effort* of Republican members to obtain tlie text of the message. Representative Padgett said the Pres ident's cablegram was responsible for .he committee's unanimous' recommenda tioti of the construction of ten dread naughts and ten- acout cruisers, ^carried in the new $7. "SO, 000, 000 naval appropria ting bill, consideration of which was be gun in the House. Mr. Padgett refused to make public the text of ttye messnge, on the ground that questions of foreign policy were involved in its contents. "The President was very earnest and ery insistent that the three-year pro gram ??hould- he carried- out." declared"! Mr. Padgett. "In substance, the Presi dent stated that nothing had occurred over there to change his recommenda tion. but he stated, however, that he j was willing that, if there were develop ments in the way of tribunals for dis armament and a league of nations, he would 1>< willing that u provision should !>?? inserted to allow him to discontinue or stop the program." Fate's Pfayfutnees. A lean young Infantryman, hurried across France with his regiment, was flung into n flght near Chateau Thlprry with scanty sleep and short rations, went over a crest with the first wave of assault, emerged from a mix-up with n Germa n bayonet none the worse except for a tear In the seat of his breeches, escaped by n miracle every Mast in tho murderous crossfire of German machine guns and finally came out one of the few unserntched ones In his platoon. He dropped on the ground, doubly thankful for the promise of a few moments' rest, hut ho hounded up Again in the agony of his first wound. His face had landed In a bunch of nettles. ?

Worthless War Illstories. Upon the very dawn of victory our country is being flooded with histories of the world war. Not one, but many con cerns are launching them upon the mar ket. The voice of the book agent is even now extolling these freshly printed volumes. For at least two reasons we wish to warn our readers against these histories. In the first place they are practically worthless. They arc worth Yss because tbey were necessarily com-* >ilod in haste before the 'events which 'hey are supposed to chronicle were com ??fHed. These histories are bound to be nacurate for the reason that many of the imi>ortant phases of the war have ?lot been nllowed to be published as yet, ind; peace terms must be approved be ANNOUNCING TL t That ? -? ? .

The fact is that 'these histories in ill their incompleteness and inaccuracy ure rushed upon the market for no other purpose thau to make money at a time when the people are intensely interested. In Ihe interest of real education and Ju order not to Kpend money for that which 'h of mo value these histories should not find noplace in our homes. Valuable histories of the war will be written, but it in a wo*k which will re* quire time and the ability of competent men.

In 1910 more than 00,000 of our white population over ten yeajrs of age could neither read nor write, with ?JHhWT children out of school last year. These are the figures of the federal cen sus. Our Democratic club roll of 1914 is. a reproach to the state party, for 17,533 voters msde their marks. This il literacy is but the result of neglected childhood. To many of these people there never came an. opportunity of attend ing school. Our state has failed in her duty ; the schools have not been sup ported financially and public sentiment has not demanded that children be sent to school.
