ECL Government Agents Stated After Cabinet Meeting That Thie Government Intends to Aid the Entente in Every Possible • Way--May Send U-Boat Chasers to Barred Zone. Washington, March 26.--The Ameri­ can government has decided upon sweeping measures to be put into ef­ fect following the, expected declaration by congress soon after it meets April 2 that, a state of war exists between the United States and Germany. Fully appreciating Germany's policy of acting in war first and talking after­ ward, the government has determined to provide against every possible emer­ gency. Broad questions involved were dis­ cussed on Friday at a long cabinet meeting, to which heads of depart­ ments carried reports on preparations til ready made and others contemplated. Details are being taken up between President Wilson and the individual cabinet members. Plan Aggressive War. Regretfully the government. appar­ ently has decided that since Germany is making war upon the United States through ruthless killing of Americans and destruction of their ships, the Is­ sue must be met with steps much more far-reaching than mere attempts to protect individual merchant craft. If anything is ahead to prevent- this It is not now' foreseen. Once a state of war is declared to exist, aggressive measures are expected to be taken. As outlined after the cabinet meet­ ing, the preparations of the govern­ ment are not to be for a short war, or a war marked by half-way measures. Nothing is to be taken for granted. A complete program has been prepared so that everything done will he carried out in a systematic and orderly man­ ner. Must Defeat Germany. The government realizes that once at war with Germany, the vital inter­ ests of the United States demand not only the protection of purely American interests, but the defeat of Germany as well. There Is apparently practical iinaar Imlty. of opinion that the American navy should be used to the fullest ex­ tent In crushing German sc>a power as well as in breaking up the submarine blockade. The army problem depends on con­ gress. An influential part of the cab­ inet is strongly In favor of immedi­ ately raising and training a large and effective force which can be sent to Europe in case it is needed. Full Credit for Allies. There is further agreement that financial credit and supplies should be extended to the allies in unlimited quantities. Tlit* method by which this is to be don& is not yet decided definite­ ly, as it is a question ou which con­ gress has the final say. Suggestions placed before the presi­ dent included the possibility of float­ ing a loan of $5,000,000,000 for the en­ tente nations. The proposal made by Governor Harding of the federal re­ serve board in a recent speech at New York that the government lend the al­ lies $1,000,000,000 was thought to be inadequate by some of the president's -advisers. . ... • . . The banks of the country, it was pointed out, are in a position of strength today never before approxi­ mated in their history. The latest re­ port of the comptroller of the currency shows the resources of the federal re­ serve system to be greater than those of all the chief belligerents combined. It is probable that the president, In his formal address to congress, will not touch-specifically on the( methods to be°used in aiding the allies, devoting the speech largely to a statement of principles. He will leave questions of detail to be worked oijt by the proper committees of congress, on the basis of recommendations prepared bv the department heads, who will doubtless be in close conference with the con­ gressional lenders. ̂ Partial Alliance at, First. An immediate step will be arrange­ ment of a working agreement with the allied powers, to ascertain just what measures the United States can take to be of the most valuable assistance, and the decision as to the most ef­ fective menns for supplying theln with money and munitions will depend to a great extent on their recommendations, ment Is co-operating In putting the country on a war basis.

My Dear Buck: Without a doubt, oldtlmer, I feel tike tacking the blue ribbon on the brook trout for being the wisest, liveliest and gamest of the fresh-water fish. For downright nerve and fight, he is in a class by himself and he carries more tricks in his tall than any other fish. He is truly an Ameri­ can and of a sturdy type that can forage a living in any stream or spring-fed lake that is cool. Al­ though he does not grow as large aa his cousin, the rainbow trout from "the West, or his foreign relative, the brown, or German trout, for his small size and weight he puts up the keenest fight of the trout family. The trout is a trim-built fish with, graceful lines and his constant battle with swift currents makes him a strong, husky youngster. As a gen­ eral thing he is found in the small flowing streams where the water is cool and fresh, while the rainbow and brown trout can thrive in warmer and deeper streams as well as lakes. As a rule I have found the rainbow and brown trout in the roily waters below falls, in the swift rapids, and the brook trout in the quieter pools, especially those with grassy beds. The trout is a rapacious feeder, and takes his fctod from the surface, in midwater and at the bottom; he is, however, mostly.a surface feeder and dotes on fiies, grasshoppers, insects, worms,, •mall minnows and even small frogs. Trout Has Keen Sight. Undoubtedly he has the keenest sight of any fish, and he evidently watches his prey before it strikes the water, as he will close his jaws on a fly the instant It hits the water, often leaping up and catching it on the wing. It's a pretty good guess that he watches the files or insects as they fly over the water and this same sight makes it necessary for the rod wield- er to .match his wits against those of Mr. B. Trout. Trout are caught with artificial flies, grasshoppers, worms, minnows, crick­ ets, grubs and almost any small in­ sects that are found along streams, also with very small spoons. When fishing with a fly it should be kept in motion, imitating as near as possible the movements of a fly that has dropped on the surface and is strug­ gling to rise again. This can be ac­ complished by a Blight broken twitch­ ing of the wrist. When a. trout takes the fly, strike quickly, but not with a heavy jerk, only a slight move of the wrist is necessary. In taking a fly he snaps his jaws together over the fly, but is quick to throw out the artificial feathery substitute for a square meal. Lot Depends on Rod Work. The sport begins with a rush right after you hook your fish and you sure have to work your gray matter, Buck, before you can creel a trout. He seems to know every rift, rooted hold, snag or windfall in the stream, and you got to keep your mind on the game to hold him from reach­ ing cover, which means a lost fish and a snagged line. Let your rod do most of the work, that's what a good fly rod is for--keep your line tight, at no time give any slack, as the trout may not be securely hooked, and a slack line gives him a chance to tough out the fly. You will find the trout is more quickly landed if worked down stream, especially with a large fish, as the current is in your favor. Keep the rod well up and the line shortened, as a short line gives better control over the fish and you need every extra bit of advantage, as the sole object of the trout is to get away and at that game he is some little getter. Fish Both Up and Down Stream. If you are fishing a slow running stream it is best to fish up stream and on swift-running streams fish down, making it a point to walk around pools and fish them from the lower end up to the head. In fishing up stream the fiy comes quickly down with the current, this can be slowed up by casting diagonally up and across. Trout Gorge Angleworms. Early in the season the common angleworm is considered a delicacy by the trout and this bait if floated down stream under a shelving bank or around a log, which makes an ideal hiding place for trout, it's a twenty-to- one shot that another fish will be add­ ed to the creel. Hook the worm so that the entire hook is covered, using a No. 6 or 8 snelled hook. Always fish down stream with worms, as the natural action of the current carries the worms down stream. Let the bait float from about thirty feet above the spot where you anticipate the trout are lying and throw in the shut-off on all noise. DIXIE. UPON WAR FOOTING PRESIDENT ORDERS ARMY AND NAVY TO REACH LIMIT OJF , EXECUTIVE'S POWER; *P;: •r*' NEXT MOVE UP TO CONGRESS Navy Must Enroll Immediately Ap­ proximately 26,000 Men to Reach Required Strength--Secretary Dan­ iels in Special Call for Men. Washington, March 27.--President Wilson took steps to place the nation on a war footing. By executive order, he directed that the navy be recruited without delay to ftill authorized strength of 87.000 en­ listed men. The former authorized strength was 74,500. He took the step on the recommendation of Secretary Daniels under authority granted by congress In case of a "national emer­ gency." The present actual strength of the navy Is 62,000 men. Taken In connection with Emergency naVal construction already ordered, this means that the president has exer­ cised the full limit of his legal powers, as commander-in-Chief to prepare, the navy for war. ; >< For the army, the president directed that two new military departments be created in- the Atlantic coast region. The task of organizing whatever aritty congress may authorize will be divided into six denartmental commanders In­ stead of four in the Interests of speed and efficiency in mobilization. Following is the executive order bringing the navy up to war strength: "By virtue of the authority vested In the president by the act of congress approved August 29. 1916, entitled 'an act malting appropriations for the na­ val service for the fiscal year ending Jnne 30, 1917, and for other purposes,' It is hereby directed that the author­ ized enlisted strength of the navy be Increased to 87.000 men. "WOODROW WILSON." The navy must enroll Immediately approximately 20,000 men to reach the required strength. Secretary Daniels supplemented It with personal tele­ grams to newspaper editors all over the country urging them to aid the de­ partment In every way In their power to obtain the men. The navy department statement fol­ lows : "The president last night signed an executive order directing that the au­ thorized enlisted strength of the navy be increased to 87,000. He was author­ ized by congress, in case of emergency, to direct such Increase In enlistment, New ships and ships in reserve are be­ ing fully commissioned aft rapidly as possible and the need Is Imperative for a larger enlistment to man them. There has been a net Increase of over 6,500 In enlistment since congress re­ cently authorized an Increase, but many more are rteMed and needed how. ••Will you not emphasize this need by giving special prominence Monday on the first page of your paper to the president's order and also by making an editorial appeal for new recruits for the navy. "The navy offers exceptional advan­ tages to young men of stuff and am­ bition to serve in the first line for na­ tional defense. In this emergency you have the opportunity and the privilege of performing this public service, aud I am confidently appealing to you for your cordial and helpful co-operation.
