FISHERMEN ARE
HEAVY LOSERS
Season Has Been Poor and Storm
Carried Away Nets. Leaving
Many Penniless.

Elizabeth City. y. c., April $50
far this thas been one of the poorest
seasons the fishermen of northeastern
North Carolina have had in years. In
fact it has been failure. Few fisher
men have made any money at all. most
of them have lost money. while many
have also lost their nets and fishing
materia! on account of the severe storm
of few weeks ago.
Much preparation was made for fish

fishing material was purchased. a large
amount of which was bought on time.
the fishermen expecting to make money
out of the fishing to pay for IL. The
season opened poor and has not i'm
proved.
At the time for the improvement to
take place a furious storm visited this
section. which damaged the nets and
drove away the fish The season Is
now too far advanced for the fisher
men to retrieve their bad fortune. The
losses of this season fall heavily upon
the people of the coast country. who
have not any other means of liveli-
hood and depend upon fishing altogether
for their living.

|PAN.AMERICAN PEACE
PACTS ARE PROPOSED
Minister of Honduras Would Extend
Bryan Treaty Plan Over
Western Hemisphere.

That the plan of avoiding war by
agreement between governments to
submit their disputes TO period OF
impartial investigation. already en-
bodied in the so-called Bryan peace
treaties" be embraced by all the gov
lernments OF the Western Hemisphere
is the proposal which has been made
by Dr. Alberto Membreno. Minister of
Honduras.
| DIR. Membreno has prepared a men,
lorandum setting forth his proposal and
this has been submitted. through the
n-American Union, to the govern
ments of the republics of the American
continents. Secretary Bryan made it
public yesterday.
| That Mr. Bryan had a part in the
| framing of the proposal is not doubted
here. Through the treaties he has
negotiated with more than twenty gov
Iernments. Mr.. Bryan has in the last
leighteen months given great promi-
nence to the idea of averting HOSTILE
ties by effecting agreements that dis
putes not settled automatically shall
| be referred to impartial investigating
commissions before there shall be any
hostilities.
The Honduran proposal may also be
/ regarded based on a provision in
the seventeenth convention of The
Hague, which creates an international
| commission of inquiry. of whose serv-
ices all signatory governments arc
supposed to avail themselves when in
a dispute with another signatOry gov
eminent.
No immediate action is expected in
any quarter tine Honduran Min
isters proposal. The plan is regarded
as containing fatal weakness, in
that no provision is made for any
force 10 insure its being observed by
all nations. In the light of recent
events in Europe, many are inclined
to doubt if even the single treaties
negotiated by Secretary Bryan would
stand up under the stress of such
situations usually bring on war
between two governments. 1t has
been suggested that the United States
might supply such force TO back up
such general agreement among the
American republics.
