M " FWANCINCO, Cal., July 19—Members of.tltf* Stutt
Fish ami Game Commission and others huuiliur wifliia status
of the food supply are looking to the Pacific ocean to save tin
sotuntion in the event the world is threatened with a toot
shortage.
The old ocean has a full larder, the Commission declare*
anti the United States can easily draw on that larder to feet I it
self and its allies as well.Of course, the experts maintain, tlit
eating of fish would have to he supplemented with somethin),
else in order to maintain the proper food balance anil prevent
pellagra, a disease eausetl by eating to much of the same food
The Commission lias been advised that Camilla has vas.
fish reserves which have not been touched. These reserve*
are bing maintaind against th day that Canada will no longei
be able to produce land crops sufficient for our needs.
In order to relieve the food situation as much as possibh
the Fish anti Game Commission is campaigning tor a with
spread river, bay anti ocean fishing. In circulars it calls at
ttuition to the fact that Ml,000 000 pounds of sanlines wert
paeketl from January 1 to June lti of this year in < alitomia
three times the amount packed in all of 1916.
The Commission is urging the catching of the blue gill

Commission is trying to increase the field for this tish. tow
ard this end the state is encouraging the placing of striped
bass in the waters near San Diego. This tish, with the tamed
California tuna,SO,000,(MM) pounds of which were canned last
year, is expected to make Southern California loom up big il
ever the ocean is called upon to holster up the uncertain suppl\
that is produced on land.
The Commission is receiving active co-operation ot tin
United States Bureau of Fisheries in marshalling the food po
tentialities of the ocean. The Bureau is collecting all the in
formation at its disposal on tin* canning of fish, and has issue*
a recent bulletin telling hones wives how they may preserv*
mussels in this fashion.
Kverv harbor, and river in the state is a vast tish coache
i the Commission reports, and every state on the Pacific rim cai
1 tell the same tale. Added to this there is the ocean lishinj
r and the vast Canadian reserves.
* Regarding the crustaceans, ther eare the vast oyster bed
i off the Coast of Central California, the Humboldt crab area
> and the sand and horse clam bods which extend from one en*
* of til*1 state to the other. The soerustaceans alone, in the opin
8 ion of the Commission, could play a big part in the replenish
1 ing of the national larder in a time of food stress.
i The government has advised the Commission to keep w it
i- ps campaign for the development of ocean and hay tishin
k for the twofold purpose of augmenting the wartime food sip
>- ply and forcing equitable prices at all time through a plont
J i'ul output.

The men here figure they are equipped for a fine long
march now, and state they would not mind if they were ordered
to “hit the trail” for San Jose, 50 miles away, or some other
listant point.They want to get out and sing, and shout after
the various circumscriptions and inhibitions of the training
camp. They have no time to sing while they tire Inning tren
ches or drilling. Even when they are through with the day’s
manual labor they cannot sing, for they must immediately
“dig in” to their tactic books.
The only time they have to sing is during the week end
layoffs, and they scatter from the camp to their homes and
•Isewln re. They seek the chance to raise their voices in unison
dud lelnse the romantic and tempermental exhulvi nee pent
up hy the prohibitions of the camp routine. They want the
open road too, and a chance to swing their legs and arms un
til they are tired.
There is plenty of hand music at the camp, hut no time for
tin* rookie to indulge in one of the chief delights of young Am
erica—a chance to get a few whoops and war crys out of Ins
system . This desire must he withheld until lie sw ings along
t‘ne long road on a march to “somewhere in California” and
hack again.
T i»* psychological side of the reserve camp is being de
veloped as well as the purely military side therefore, the rook
iea.are given rest pt*riods, and their week ends off, in order
that they will not become depressed. During these periods
they are told to forget all about the routine, and go out and eii
joy themselves as they see fit, so long as they do not deal too
lightly with the regulations.
In n foived march however, there is no opportunity for sm-ii
periods, so the men must be given the best relaxation that can
be afforded otherw ise. The Doited States Government has de
I tailed after taking a leaf from the history of the European w ar.
Unit singing affords this relaxation.
Song, according to the rookies at the training camp, who
know, not only helps the cadence of the step, but takes the
' .mans mind off the consequences of a clash with the enemy. The
1 officers, who are kept in close touch with tin* conduct of mili
' tary affairs abroad, have been told of how the singing of “Tip
'perarjr” aided many a spirited British attack, and “The Mar
iellaise” heightened the determination of the French troops.
