The INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., May 12. Sue cess of the American Legion Graves Endowment Fund, providing flowers in perpetuity for the resting place of American World War dead, means that 1813 unmarked graves of heroes will annually be decorated. In the eigfll U. S. cemeteries In Europe, now shrines of patriotism for Americans, rest the bodies of nearly a regiment if "unknown dead." The inclusion or the unmarked crypts among the 32,000 American graves in Europe, will recon secrate their graves with the others still remaining in foreign soil.

It Is a national duty to assist the Legion in raising this endowment.

They died In hope that the sacrifice might be a contribution toward put ting an end to war. "We owe them not only this tribute of perpetuating their memory, but our unswerving loyalty to their ideal that the war In which they fought might mark the end of all wars. Please accept the enclosed contribution un the behalf of one who can not too greatly emphasize his obligation to the memory of our dead overseas, or his determination that they shall not have died in vain.

The state department advices from the Ameri can legation in Peking today said the bandits were believed to be holding sixteen foreigners, fourteen men, in-( eluding five Americans and two women. Two expert dip netter, experienced In the task of handling salmon and trout, have been stationed at Win chester by the State Fish Commis sion, through the efforts of the Roseburg Hod and Gun club. These men will lift salmon over the dam at Winchester, or else will construct a chute, through which they may reach the water above the dam. At the present time hundred of salmon are milling below the dam, unable to get over, and are either killing themselves In endeavoring to Jump over the obstruction, or else are fall ing prey to fishermen who are un lawfully gaffing the salmon. . llecause of the fact that few sal mon are reaching the upper waters to spawn, the Hod and Gun club has been very active in It effort to se cure men to relieve the condition, and Carl D. Shoemaker, who Is at the head of the State FiBh Commis sion, made a personal inspection of the situation and then sent two of his best men to endeavor to save as I many of the fish aa possible. The North I'mpqua Is one of the finest salmon fishing streams In the country and fvery effort Is being put forth to keep up the stock of salmon. Each year fish die by the hundreds below the dam at Win chester, while poachers take a fear ful toll with their gaff hooks. There has been an organized system of tak ing salmon at Winchester, and the ofticers have been unable to break up the work of those who have no regard for the fish laws of the stste. Because, of this fact salmon which would otherwise spawn and aid In the restocking of the stream, are kil led and the river will soon be de pleted unless such activities are curbed. v The Rod and Gun club expect to do all within Us power to prevent unlawful gaffing of salmon at Win chester and will endeavor to see that any violator are given the maximum penalty of the law. If the salmon In the river are taken on hook and line and commercially at such times as the law permits, there will be plenty of fish for evervone. the nluli contends, and it will he possible to enjoy the sport which salmon fishing affords. Dtit If gaf fers with their deadly hods are allowed to persue their way, they will soon exhaust the supply of fish In the river and the rights of all will be destroyed. (Bv United Press.) DELL1NGHAM.
