Washington, Dec 29.-The United
States government dispatched long
note to Great Britain, insisting on an
early improvement In the treatment Of
American commerce by the British
fleet. 1t gave warning that much feel
ing had been aroused in this country
and that public criticism was general
over unwarranted interference with
the legitimate foreign trade of the
United States.
The document, constituting the
strongest representation on this sub
ject made by the United States to any
OF the belligerents since the outbreak
of the war, was cabled to Ambassador
Page, to be formally presented to Sir
Edward Grey. British foreign secre-
tary. It's preparation was begun a
month ago by Solicitor Cone johnson,
Counsellor Robert Lansing and Secre-
tary Bryan, and finally had the per-
sonal attention of President Wilson,
who revised its phraseology with mi
mute care.
AS the detailed point of view of the
United States In numerous specific
cases of detentions and seizures of car
goes had been set forth in series Of
emphatic protests, most of which have
gone unheeded. Mondays communica-
ton was couched In general terms
covering the entire subject of the re-
lations between the United States and
Great Britain as affected by the lat
ter's naval policy considered highly OBJ
jectionable by this government.
Since France has adopted practi-
cally the same DEGREES on contraband
as has Great Britain, the note is vir-
tually a statement intended for all the
members Of the triple entente.
The note declares at the outset that
the representations are made in q
friendly spirit, but that the United
States considers it best to speak in
terms of frankness, lest silence be
construed as an acquiescense in a pol
icy which infringed the rights OF
American citizens under the laws Of
nations.
The document points out that COM
plalntS on every sue anu pubic Crlti'
cism in the United States hold the
British policy as directly responsible
for the depression in many industries,
situation the seriousness Of which
must be apparent to Great Britain.
Reimbursement alone for cargoes
unlawfully detained or seized, 1t states
does not remedy the evil. as the chief
difficulty is the moral effect Of Brit.
ish practice on American exporters,
who are restrained by 1t from taking
risks or hazards, which in no case
ought to surround legitimate trade be.
tween the United States and other
neutral countries.
Feeling has been aroused on the sub.
ject to such an extent, the communica.
ton adds, that the American govern.
ment feels compelled to ask for def.
mite information as to Great Britain's
attitude, in order that it may take
such measures as will protect Ameri.
can citizens in their rights.

Fumigate The PeddIer,

The question as to whether the
peddlers who so often canvass the
city are not serious menaces to
health is being quite seriously con-
sidered by a number of Grinnell peg
pie, says the Grinnell Herald. The
method which they follow, of course,
is familiar. They go from house to
house, srreadihE out their goods for
the lady of the house to see. They
travel from town to town, and they
enter all sorts of houses in every
town they visit. If there happens to
be contagion, in any dwelling, the
soods which they show are the best
possible means Of spreading that con-
tagion. In some towns peddlers are
required to undergo a rigid examina.
ton by physician each morning Of
their stay, before being given a clean
bill of health.

FISH AND GAME LAWS.
Hereafter Bass, Catfish and Trout
Must be Ten Inches Long or
Over Before Being Taken.

The people of this vicinity have
lively interest in fish and game, il
enc is to judge by the number of in
quiries that have come during the
last two weeks, regarding recent
changes in the fish and game laws.
In answer to these we give briefly
the new provisions.
1.-The most important change, per-
haps is the repea! of the law permit
ting the spearing of certain fish.
Spearing is now strictly prohibited
at all times, except along the Missis-
sippi river.
Another important change is in
the size Of game fish persons are er-
mitted to take from the waters Of
the state. Heretofore the length of
these fish was fxed at six inches OF
more. Hereafter it will be ten in !.
ches for bass, cat fish and trout;
eight inches for croppies, and twelve
inches for picAerel and wall-eyed
pike
THE law perte lining to fishways
was amended to provide that all
dams shall have fishways construct
ed in accordance with plans and spe-
cifications prepared and furnished by
the state fish and game department.
Fish and game wardens are auth
orized to seize and destroy, or sell,
any net or other illegal device for
the taking of fish or game, anywhere
such device is found, and a penalty
is provided for having such articles
in ones possession.
Licenses may be issued to those
desiring to engage in the business OF
raising and selling game birds.
"A license is required for trapping
fur bearing animals.
THE killing of Hungarian part
ridges, pheasant and other imported
game birds is prohibited previous y
October 1, 1917.
Resident aliens are required TO
ray hunting and trapping license
of $40. This IS intended to check
the practice of Greeks and other for
eign residents who invade the woods
and fields for the purpose of pot
shooting.
at no longer will be legal for
sportsmen to kill twenty five prairie
chickens in one day. The killing
limit has been cut to eight, and the
anyone may have in his po-
session at one time has been cut to
sixteen. The killing limit for quail
las been reduced from twenty-five to
fifteen.
1.-THE old fish ~ game laws which
we're declared non-effective by the
courts because the speaker of the
house had failed to sign the bill
we're re-enacted AMI are now in eff
ect.'
