COLLEGE BOYS MAY
NOT Be RELEASED
Very Few Of Five Thousand Have
Asked for ReIease-Requests
Came From Parents.
fRx Associated Press.l

Washington, Aug. 3O.-Secretary
Baker Tuesday temporarily suspend
ed recent War department order
-discharging college students from the
National guard in time to resume
their studies this fall, pending inves-
'tigation.
The suspension applies only to in
'dividual students scattered through.
'out the guard and not to the college
organizations composed entirely Of
students.
Individual students will be held in
service until the War department can
determine what effect their discharge
will have on the efficiency Of the
force.
There are about 5000 college men
in the guard. It was said at Southern
division headquarters, but very few of
them have applied for discharge.
Practically all the applications
come from the heads Of colleges and
from parents.
: A circular letter recently was sent
out by headquarters to persons APP
plying for the release of college men.
stating that discharges would be
granted unless developments in the
military situation should necessltate
detention of the men.
A new circular has been prepared
which informs applicants that as the
matter Is still under consideration by
the War department, action on appli.
cations cannot be taken.

lean Vessels by Canada.
Prior to 1915. when Canadian
methods assumed a more subtle
turn, no American veSSels-eX
cepting those subsidized by Car
ada to fish for American mark
ets-could buy bait, ice or sup
plies in Canada. The small fish
used as bait are scarce in CaU-
adam and Alaskan waters in
May. June and July, and scarce
in American United States wa
tiers from August to November.
The privilege of buying bait has.
therefore, a very important
bearing on the fishing competi-
ton OF the two countries. n
this matter we furnish Canada
means of competition which they
denied to US up to 1915 and yet
deny to all vessels desiring to
market their catch in an Ameri-
can port.
This is a striking example Of
the comfy of each nation to the
others fleet.
Unfair Methods of Arrest of
American Vessels.
At all times the Canadian au-
thorities have enforced every
law and regulation against the
American fleet and have seized
on the slightest pretext and SOLD,
vessels of American subjects al
legged to have violated Canadian
laws or orders in council, or for
fishing within the three mile
limit and have even "tolled" yes
sells from off the high seas near
enough to the unmarked boun-
dairy to be apparent justification
Of an arrest. The history OF
such cases are too lengthy TO
present here, but they are not
complimentary to the eharact-
er of justice melted to Ameri-
cans in Canadian courts, as may
be ascertained by reference To
the evidence and findings.
