fishing smacks charged with infraction
of the island laws touching the taking
of bait WITHIN restricted areas and the
employment Of islanders in the fish

Probable Basis of Canada's Claim.
The Canadian claims are believed to
be based upon denial of the right OF
free entry of Canadian fish into Ameri-

ed herewith
1t is understood also that the premier
will endeavor to effect some arrange
ment for the admission into the United
States of canned or preserved fish

MAY PUNISH PLUNGER CREWS
British Admiralty Would Hold the
Captives for Murder After
.------ Hostiiites are Ended.

London, March 9.-The admiralty
announces it is not justified in extend
ing honors to the captured crews OF
German submarine boats, owing to
their methods. and that it is intended
to -,segregate them under special re-
strictons. pending their possible con-
viction at the conclusion OF peace.
The admiralty states that this rul-
ing applies to the Twenty-Five officers
and men of the German submarine
Us, which was sunk recently off
Dover
The policy to be adopted toward
the crews OF German submarines is
in answer to the demand of Admiral
Ford Charles Beresford, retired, and
others, that such men be tried for
murder, and the admiralty statement
indicates that the government has this
in mind. The statement refers to the
generous treatment accorded German
officers and men saved, numbering up
ward of one thousand, and then says
with reference to the US:
This vessel had been operating in
the Straits of Dover and in the Eng
lish Channel, and there is strong
probability that she had been guilty
of attacking and sinking unarmed
merchantmen and firing torpedoes at
ships carrying non-combatants, neu'
trails and women. In particular the
steamer Oriole is missing and there is
grave reason to fear that she has been
sunk with all hands-twenty.
