NEWFOUNDLAND.
The seizure of a French fishing ves-
sci on the Newfoundland coast for vio-
lation of the fishery laws, and her es-
cape from the customs officer placed in
charge is a matter in which the French
admiral will show good sense by letting
the law take it's course If there was an
actual violation of the laws, the Seizure
and confiscation of the vessel should
receive his endorsement. There appears
to have been a mistaken tolerance on
the part Of the British government in
the past, and there seems little doubt
that the French fishermen are disposed
to carry things with a high hand. De-
spite the peace conference, the tenlpeE
of the British people is not favorable
to continuance Of such conditions.
