He Thurston Agent Flesherton Yming TeuloM Clerks Went to Kng- laiirt and Worked Vor Small Taj In .>Iercantllc Houses Where Tliej Stole Trade .SecretK â€" German OrKnnization Subsidized the Mer- cantile Spy System. In the larger towns of the I'nited Kingdom, and especially in the city of London, it was a matter of com- mon obeervation before the war that an extraordinary number of young Germans wei-e employed in the offices of British merchants and manufac- turers. Indeed, a eertain amount of sore feeling existed anions English clerks on the ground that the em- ployment of K;ngli6hmen was thereby diminished and thf ra'te of wages re- duced liy cheap foreign competition. Kmployers, on the other hand, ad- vanced what appeared to be very pood reasons why they should jive preference to the Germans. The lat- ter, they said, was better equipped, educationally, for a commercial ca- reer, took bis work more seriously than ihe average Knglishman, was more industrious, painstaking, and reliable, and endeavored to luasler llie details and routine of the busi- ness with which he was connected. In addition to tliei>e advantages, his services could be secured for a little inop<> than half the price required by f,n P:nKlish clerk. TiiouKh paid on a hieher scale, the ICuBlishuian found it difficult enough lo make both ends meet. Yet the C.ernian ilid not seem a very pitiable object; his appearance v\as sleek enough; he was evidently not under- fed; his clothes were neat, and he ha! alway; some loose cash in his pocket. I''rom what source did he obtain his Hupplemenlary funds and what was his Inducemeni to give his ser- \ii-es for less than their market value? It was all part of a deep- laid scheme designed not only to oust the V;nglish clerk from his employ- ment, but, as its ultiniali^ object, to underiniue the foundations of British commerce. Of all the great tradinp nations, Ticrmany was the last lo en- ter the arena of world-commerce. To her dismay the best foreiftn mar- kets appeared to be already appro- priated, mostly by lOngland, and af- forded but a small opening for her energies. She was, however, not alow to realize the advantages pre- sented to her by Rngland's policy of free trade, which enabled her to com- pete everywhere on an equal footing with British productions. Her mer- chants, not being too scrupulous and having everything to gain and noth- Icg to lose, did not hesitate lo palm off shoddy and inferior ware gener- ally *â-  British goods whenever pos- sible, and their- practice of counter- felting trade marks in countries where the law was weak, or easily evaded, soon l)ecatue notorious. By such methods they Inserted the thin edge of the wedge and laid the basis of their foreign trade. Casting an envious eye upon Hrltlsh commerce, certain astute Cerman merchants, some twenty odd years ago, apprais- ed it critically, and while duly ap- preciating Its sironK points laid a finger also on Ihe weak spots. They recognized the excellence of English general business iiielhods, courage and enterprise, made due allowance for the value of centuries of experi- ence, and estimated aright the thor- oughness in the tralnlnu of an Eng- lish mercanlile house. Hut they per- ceived also a total lack of trade or- ganization. They saw Hritish firms cutting one another's iliroats in foreign markets when tliey should be combining against the common foe. They discovered constant overlapping and waste of energy in one direction, and a lordly indifference or eon- tempt of foreign competition in an- otlier. There was much lliey could learn, but much that might be im- proved upon, and some things to be avoided. These Ceniians agreed lo compete against one uiiotber only in Ihe home market or in the fields where outside coirvpetltion was absent ; next they derided {•} gncourage smart and promising youii? (renuans to make tbi-aiselves Ihoroug!;!/ ac<|ualnted wiib I'^ngllsh bu.uineHH meiliods, '^'. the same time forniln'4 a kind of cumiiiercial iiilelllB<'nce bureau by means of which Ihc proniolers of the scheme should be kept well postiul in all that was bi-lnt done by Vlritlsh firms. For this purpose a iiumber of eneri:e(ic young men were selected and sent lo F:ngland with instructions to UJ'd employment In lOnglish bouses ol business; and to ensure, iheir se- curing occupation a money subsidy was granted to each for a term of years, subject to certain conditions. Besides getting a thorough and inli- inate knowledge of lie business which they entered It was their duty lo malie periodical reports, not only of llieir personal jirogress. but Imll- caiini; also the li'mlendes of trade and openings that might arise in new Jirecltons. The association that was formed, iiniler the unassumlnj; title of Commerce Defence League, proved so great a success I hat before long It nuniliereil among its meuibers the heads of the rhlcf coiumercial, mer- cantile, and manufacturing tirms throughout ttie Cennan Empire.

Some of the largest black bass ar« taught in Ontario riverg every yearâ€" not all In Georgian Bay or the inland lakes. An outlet of some good-sWed j lake is a pet spot. Clear, cold water, ' rocky bottom, the river a series of shallows and deeps â€" foamy torrentt tumbling over stones and tree-reflect- ' ing quiet reaches Intervening â€" â- wherever there la lotB of sun and plenty of shade, you may be sure it's a natural home of black bass. Try every shelterf;d pool, casting 20 or 30 feet ahead. Settling places at th» foot of foamy falls generally are where the bass wait for their natural prey. Remember: Keep out of sight, make little noise, let your baited hook strike water gently. Use a light rod, a multiplying reel, 25 yards of fine line, a 9-foot leader of silkworm gut, and a supply of hooks (on snells) Into the bend of which j a quarter would nearly fit. For, big I books, like what Mark Twain called j a "good job" of bait, alone catch I prize fish. Lake fishing is simpler. Requisite* j are a comfortable boat, a good rod I and reel, 50 yards of line, a 9-foot leader, a supply of hooks on snells, ; a small spoon-hook or spinner, and a I pall of lively minnows. On the tail end of the leader tie the spinner. At I intervals of 8 feet upward, attach ' two snell-hooks and bait them wltk ; minnows. On the tine, just above I the leader, place a sinker weighing not more than an ounce. 'I'hrow this equipment into the water, pay , out CO or 100 feet of line, mean- i while rowing slowly enough just to i keep the bait 2 or 3 feet off bottom. ! If you are on the right ground â€" , rocky or bouldery bottom â€" all you want is a slight breeze to ruffle th9 ; water, a sky more or less cloudy, I hazy atmosphere and warm. Tha ' boat, being 60 or 80 feet ahead of I the bait, does not frighten the basB, > and the slow rowing gives the min- nows opportunity to swim as if they , liked it. Then it's up to your pati- I ence and dexterity â€" from those boulder-strewn depths â€" to cozen His I Freshwater Majesty off his cool shady throne, ten to thirty feet below. The above practically lays bare bass fishing as a science. There is hope for the veriest tyro, however, for the expert responsible for the pointers confesses that the biggest bass he ever saw caught was by a Penetangulshene Indian, sitting at the end of a slab-dock. Perhaps $150 dollars worth of classy tackle 'was represented on that dock, the same afternoon, in the hands of tourists. .Most of their elaborate baskets went back emply to the hotel. The Indian had a potato sack full of l>€autle8. Every time his hook dropped in â€" the solutio'. â€" It looked like a mas* of wreathijg worms, heaps of wrig- gling ends. Never spare your bait. The same Indian had cut a boat- load of bass-wise expectants next . day, all expensively accoutred and carrying about every known kind of halt. Even then the only successful I ones were those wLo got the Indian I to do the baiting. Every now and { then he would cut open the last flsh ' caught to try a^d discover the day's , strange gastronomic preferences among the bass tribe. Even that usually effective expedient was fruit- less. The party were for starting home. A bite per hour lacked ex- citement. Anyway, to prove there were lots of flsh in the neighbor- hood, the Indian flourished his alder I sapling with a bunk of a pike's gill. ' He landed Exhibit A in under three I minutes, amidst a salvo of paleface I warwhoops. Then all betook them- selves to business again â€" and success â€" proving black bass to have as 1 many w'aims as bones. â€" Toronto ! Star Weekly.
