building the boats which fulfill the prophecy of Jules Verne, whose "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" is sakTto have been the inspiration of this itv in tor. But Yeinc little dreamed of the developments that have taken place in this class -of navigation in the past I two decades. The proposal of the State Bureau of [Shell Fisheries to obtain legislation looking to the preservation of the crab brought forth many letters of com- ' ineiidation for the movement. Information has been sent to the Bureau that many residents of the resorts, especialhale been apprehensive of the total depletion of this species of food by the reckless disregard of the laws of conservation on the part of those who go to the seashore and enjoy the sport of crabbing. There is no regard whatever for the laws of Nature and the crab will disappear entirely from the waters of New Jersey if some impor. step as the Bureau contemplates is . nut taken at an early day. Captain McDonald Lee, President of the National Association of Shell Fish Commissioners and former Fish Com- , missioned of the State of Virginia has - prepared au Cxteiwive treatise upon the i crab question showing what Virginia I done for its conservation and what is necessary to be done to prevent its annihilation. As a result of laws passi ed by Virginia, the industry has become > of great importance in tliat state as it i ' has in the State of Maryland where ■ | similar laws for protection have been | enacted. This information will be used j by the Bureau in the effort to show the • , members of the Legislature at the next - 1 session the importance and value of > preserving this source of .-heap f«K«l to l the people of the slate. Not a Word of ! • ' op]rffsitiuii to the proposed regulations ; has as yet come to the Bureau und only marks »f have been the r result ..f the first intimation of the r movement. It is ho|*-d to have such ■ laws imssed a« will prevent the taking : of crabs at Improper seasons or of such e sixes as will prevent propogation and s 1 increase of the species. - 1 SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED | Dewey Vaasar, of of West Cape May, I and.

USEFUL ARMY TRAINING ' i ENLISTED MEN HAVE LITTLE TO 1 j OCCUPY THEIR TIME— SHOULD BE < TAUGHT TO MANUFACTURE T^E : MUNITIONS OF WAR AND OTHER « SUPPLIES. If there is one thing more tliqn an- ( other, that the average American citi- ; zen has settled in his mind, it is that i . he wants no war in his bill of fare. ' Many a poor fpllow in Europe felt the same way, but at the demand of sav- ' age, uncivilized, bloodthirsty rulers, he , had to. take it and to give up his life ( . to satisfy the ambitions of men not fit to live, much less to rule. It may be | that Americans will be forced into war 1 by the same European influence and it ( I behooves us, as a nation, to be prepared ■ to defend ourselves effectively, and this • iinaiis n standing army of at least ."><10 ,1X10, and a navy double tbe size of • our present one. It means prompt rei talistion upon any nation which threat- > ci II- us and a bold front at all times. • The prehistoric monsters which the - pi cent war in Europe clearly proves tn be in existence in this age bf enlightenment, culture and civilization, > would not understand anything else. Army life in time of peace is demoralizing. however, even in our small army of 80.IKHI <>r so. How shall we manage it, so that it may be not only a protection in case of need, but also useful and valjiable to the nation during 'the years of peace * This can be done it seems to us, and at the same time the efficiency of the army for military purpfcsc* increased. The life of an army - in many particulars is jierv 1ifcc-,the life of the p<-ople of a city or state. The men composing it must live, which t involves clothing, eating and other de- ,, tails. The army community must have i- menus of shelter, means of. transportai- tion, means of communication. It must have also, ammunition, guns, vehicles k of various kinds and a multitude of y other things "too numerous to mention." s There must be, also, good roads throughout tin- country so that army movements

may be prompt whenever it may be : m-edifd. Our suggestion is that tbe , army should be, in time of peace, a gieat body of workmen, manufacturing everything tbev need, and studying inall kinds of activities which will be useful in war and also in peace. Pay ; of private joldiers \lioiild be greater. Expert assistance in the shape of army engineers could be sent to any section of tbe country to advise in the matter of building roads. Unlooked for orders should appiwr from time to time from the War Department, ordering detachments from a company to a division in size to take journeys and to carry out orders such as might be necessary in time of war under conditions such as war might produce. Some of the results of the handling of tho army along these lines would be, that it would be absolutely able to care for itself in all details under all conditions, and the men composing it would prove valuable citizens of tbe nation in civil life, because of the training in practical things, ' tliey would get. There should be abun. 1 dant incentives and rewards and the to- [ lal abolishment of liquor of all kinds in the army qr within 25 miles of any armv post. Severe punishment should !«• visited upon any officer or private liscovered under the influence of liquor at any time. The lack of restraint upen 1 the liquor traffic-in this country Is as ' great a blotch upon our civilization as ' the great war in Europe is upon that of Eutope. Tlie wonderful success of the armv in abolishing unhealthful condition in our " various colonics could be repeated at home. Expert methods for the elimina- ' tion of mosquitoes and other pests could : be applied under the direction of trainL ed officers and men of the army. Tlie - most ideally governed district in the " world is the Canal Zone. Panama, and r the plans for it have been originated 5 and carried out by army officers. In tills case as in the case of all of our I dependencies, there is better government by tlie agents of the United States than * there is at home and it is time the people at home were receiving some of 1 the benefits of rational scientific man- j * agement of some df their affairs by j J trained experts. It is worth mentioning | that one of the first steps taken b f ' these agents of the United States in our j 9 dependencies is to cut the liquor traf- . fie. abolishing altogether saloons in the
