HeathsvilIe, Va. May 4.-Discourag-
ing news comes from the fishing
grounds of the Rappahannock and
Great Wicomico Rivers. as well as
those along the shores Of the Chesa-
peake Bay. The runs or shad, her
ring and other edible fish has. thus
far. been very small; and the trappers
have failed to clear expenses. Fish
packers have been unable to secure
enough fish to justify employing the
usual number OF hands, and conse-
quently all branches of the business
are suffering.
Those engaged in the business saw
II has been many years since the flsh-
ermen experienced such a bad season
Various theories have been advanced
TO account for the scarcity of fish, but
none OF them seem to explain fully the
unsatisfactory condition OF affairs.
However, those engaged in the fish
ing business along the Potomac and
tributaries tell a different story They
claim To get all the fish they can pos
sibly handle. and that the plants are
running. frequently, at night as well
as day.
Trout are making their appearance,
although rather small and poor at this
season.
The constant booming from the can
non at the United States practicing
grounds down the river, this and the
past week, has caused n feeling OF un-
easiness, not only with the colored
population. they fearing the war; which
they have claimed was inevitable since

he had written editorials contrary TO
the society's peace propaganda
SO they have disciplined me-" he
said. We'll. as for that. | don't think
1t viii injure either the American
Peace Society or me. | am at n loss
TO know what editorial utterances the
society refers to. but IL they think that
their principles and mine Is to the way
to handle the peace issue are at odds,
then 1 should suppose the action was
justified.
Some men think the way to main
tain peace is for the nations to disarm.
and after that settle their intcrna.
tional difficulties through a judicial
tribunal first, and when peace has been
established resort TO disarmament i
agree with the latter theory.
There are two ways in which the
nations can work for peace-either by
being so weak that they cannot fight
or by being SO strong that they need
not fight. I believe in our own ma
ton being so strong that she will not
need to fight.
MY idea is that the navy should be
strong enough to protect our citizens
everywhere. We ought to take our
full part in the international life of
the world. i believe that if we are
strong in our fighting facilities and
then are Just and patient and consid-
crate of other peoples. we would do
great deal more for peace than If
we cut down our navy and came to be
regarded by the other nations as un-
able to defend ourselves and unable
to share with them in the work of
maintaining peace and order in the
world at large
international peace is to be at
tanned only by the nations coming to
respect the rights of all others The
United states will be respected in just
exactly that way. To exact that re-
spect, she needs her strong navy.
III this differs from the attitude of
the American Peace Society, l can only
say that we disagree upon what L re-
gard as the vital point. understand
that three years ago an effort was made

"All the testimony adduced in re-
cent hearings before Congress has
shown that the Underwood schedule
providing for free sugar after three
years would result in the absolute de-
struction of Louisiana cane sugar, also

heavy blow at Hawaii and Porto Rico.
"A cut of % per cent in the present

free sugar clause, would more than
comply with Democratic platforms and

Competition Destroyed.
Destroy the domestic sugar produc-

that event the trust, and not the con-
sumner. Will reap the benefit of free

revenue of over s50.OO0OOO year.
which will be transferred largely into
the Golfers OF the trust. and the only
benefit TO the people would be slightly
cheaper sugar for two or three years.
after which, believe, the trust would
fix eXorbitant prices and fatten off the
