WTTTT THE FRENCH ARMIES. Aug. 29. (By Mail.) Gertnany's latest effort at .sucking dry every inch of the invaded regions of France before she is obliged to evacu ate them has just come to light in the discovery that the canals and rivers of Northern France are being Beined life less of eatable fish. .. The discovery was only made when the French recently undertook the task of rendering these waterways naviga ble after the German destruction of bridges, jocks, em bankments and barges, i i The necessity of draining dry many of the canals and portions of river beds rendered unusable by the Germans has brought to light the numerous fish traps, seins, bar- - i n N . J ners ana otner appliances usea oy tne uermaps in orau to catch absolutely every wish. Frequently the canals and rivers were divided up into sections with barriers, across each end in order to render impossible the escape of a sin gle fish. Evidence has also been found of the use of ex plosives for stunning the fish and bringing them to the surface where they were raked in with hand nets. Previous to the German invasion of the canals, rivers and waterways of France had been brought to a high state of fish productiveness both by stocking them and by the enforcement of practical laws regarding fishing. The idea was to keep the productiveness of these streams up to their highest pitch at all times. River fishing constituted one of the very important industries of the country, and a careful observance of the fishing laws insured the perma nency of the river stocks. ! The one idea dominating' the Germans armears to have been to make certain that cfter their evacuation, it would be years before the French would again be able to restock the rivers and canals to their former plentifulness.

At College she meets a boy who earna his way by taking in washing. -The little girl who carries the laundry bundles introduces them to one an other and, incidentally, to happiness. ' Tonight and Tomorrow S-T-A-R of the nction transpires at an eastern co-eiucational college which the girl attends. This characterization sets off the star's personality . more effectively than did the previous roles. She has a.) elusive, fragile charm that ,t.ug gerts Maude Adams. Her delicate methods of creating a character are particularly suited to the part of the young millionaire girl who has been so hedged about by smug convention ality that she doesn't know how to win friends. The reputation for prig g'rihness which tho newspapers have given her, has reached the college studontf. before her arrival; hence she is received with cold disdain. The only one to whom she can extend her affection is the cherubic littlo girl who calls for her laundry, . and it is thought the child that she meets the college "washerman." A notable Ince cast supports the star. It includes Charles Gunn, little Thtlmtf Salter, Gertrude Claire, An drew Arbuckle, Jack Gilbert and A dele Botgrade.
