three jumps ahead of the Germans from across the 
border. 
I much suspect that the corps of Germans that took 
Liege were recruited from Suhl, Germany, and their 
frantic and vicious charges against concrete forts were 
inspired by the sight of the Liege gun factories just 
beyond. So would they assault W'lth equal pleasure tihe 
good English town of Birmingham were they only able 
to walk dry-shod to the country where Birmingham lies. 
The sporting goods man may be interested in know¬ 
ing where the various factories lie that supply the guns 
brought into this country. If he finds an invading 
force flowing all over a certain town where a factory 
is making well known guns, he can figure pretty surely 
that said factory will be out of business for some time 
to come. Arms factories are strategic considerations, 
and an enemy unable to hold a town where one lay, or 
attacking it, would be pretty sure to disable that fac¬ 
tory. 
I list some of the better known concerns that send 
guns to this country: J. P. Sauer & Sohn, Suhl, Ger¬ 
many: Mauser Arms & Ammunition Company, Berlin 
and Oberndorf; (makers of Mauser rifles and parts for 
all Mauser rifles of all makers, Mauser pistols, Luger 
pistols, etc.) Charles Daly, Suhl; Austrian Arms Com¬ 
pany, Steyr, Austria (makers of the Schonauer-Mann- 
licher, and of arms for the Austrian and other govern¬ 
ments); A. Francotte & Company, Liege, Belgium; 
Anciens Etablissements Pieper, Liege, Belgium; 
Fabrique Nationale d’Armes d’Guerre, Liege Manu¬ 
facturer Francais d’Armes et Cycles, St. Etienne, 
France (makers of all sorts of sporting goods); Societe 
Manufacturiere d’Armes, St. Etienne; Manufacture Na¬ 
tionale d’Armes de Chatelleraut.—Sporting Goods Dealer. 
GRASS LAKE (MICH.) FISHING. 
Bellaire, Mich., September 3, 1914. 
The bass and pike fishing at Grass Lake, 
has been exceptionally good this season; while 
the catches of brook trout in the Cedar and 
Jordan Rivers, has been above the average. 
The writer has just returned from a two weeks 
vacation, spent at Schoolcraft’s Lakeview Re¬ 
sort, and has not, in vacations covering a period 
of five years, had as much success, as during the 
season, now drawing to a close. 
We arrived there on August 9, and found 
among the guests, many of our friends of past 
years, though a number had already departed. 
We especially missed our brother sportsman, 
Mr. Martin Dodsworth of Detroit, a most ardent 
fisherman and companionable friend. Business 
affairs had called him home, but the gap which 
he left, was filled by Mr. Henry W. Johnson, 
also of Detroit, and who could make Sir Isaac, 
look like thirty cents, when he settled down to 
some good hard fishing. 
I would, that I had the time to tell of our 
side trip to the Jordan, and of the sport we had 
with the seventy-eight speckled beauties we took 
in the two days of fishing there. 
And then the wonderful -meals which he pre¬ 
pared. Lucullus in all of his glory never sur¬ 
passed Henry W. who has him backed off the 
boards, when it comes to getting up a dinner 
of broiled trout, johhny cake, and the trimmings. 
The twelve -pike and the bunch of trout, which 
he took to friends at home, speak for his skill 
with rod and reel. Other old friends, C. A. 
Dixon and wife, of Columbus, O., were also 
guests at Lakeview; and to Mrs. Dixon and the 
writer, come the task of dividing honors for 
the Forest and Stream trophy cup, up to the 
present writing. 
Each having brought to net a four pound 
small mouth bass, Mrs. Dixon taking hers with a 
steel rod, Kingfisher line and Triport reel, using 
ordinary snelled hook and common angle worm 
for bait, while I ‘took mine with Heddon rod, 
Kingfisher line (that had been used for five sea¬ 
sons), Bu-Rem reel (a special make of the Ken¬ 
tucky pattern) and for bait, also -the garden 
ha-ckle, on a No. 18 Cincinnati bass hook. 
I did not see Mrs. D. catch her fish, but a 
bass never -put up a prettier, or I should say 
gamer, fight than my four pounder. 
Hooked in water twenty feet deep, he stayed 
in the depths and made -his fight for life and 
liberty there, never once coming to the surface 
or breaking water, but serging, tugging and pull¬ 
ing at the line, as though he would by main 
strength, smash the tackle. And -how that little 
rod did give to his every rush, bending to a 
crescent, but straightening out with a spring¬ 
like steel the moment the tension was relaxed. 
I was fearful the line would break, knowing its 
long use, and for that reason, was careful to 
give him rope, and did not hurry to bring him 
to the surface, but after three or four minutes 
that seemed ten, I brought him slowly in, though 
he contested every inch of -line; and as Anse
