If British Mercantile Marine
Should BE Taken Over by
British Government
FEEL
SOME CONCERN
Over One of the Propositions
Advanced by Lloyd
George

Washington, d. c., Dec. 20.-The ma
tional association of British shipping
mentioned briefly by Lloyd-George as one
OF the first acts OF the new ministry
commands more interest here from
strictly American point of view than
any other phase of the premler's speech.
The taking into the national service oil
the whole mercantile marine, it was
thought by officials at first glance, would
turn over a great majority of the worlds
carrying trade to specific war purposes
Nevertheless there is in law nothing
the United States can do should the
whole British merchant marine be with
drawn from American trade and har-
bors. 1t is thought the effect on the sub
marine question would be to remove the
confusion between public vessels not en-
titled to any guarantees and private
vessels entitled to warning, and provis-
ion for safety of those on board.

FOOD RESTRICTION
IN ENGLAND FAILS
People Order Several Servings of Some
Course or Go from One Restaurant
to Another Till Supplied.

London. Dec 20--According to some
newspapers, two days experience with
the food control measure, which regu-
lates the number and nature OF the
courses served in hotels and restaurants
has been sufficient to prove 1T futile.
They say not only has it failed to check
consumption, but in many instances it
has increased it. 1t is claimed there is
no supervision and many customers, find-
ing they can indulge in several servings
of the same dish without having more
than one course counted against them,
have availed themselves of this loophole.
Moreover, there is nothing to prevent
anyone taking succession OF meals at
different places. The papers urge 1000
tickets or tax on hotel and restaurant
bills, as in Paris.

PEACE PROPOSAL SCORED.

Iondon. Dec. 20.-The former premier,
Mr.. Asquith, after declaring that his iirst
dirty was TO extend congratulations,
which he did with all his heart, to MI
IIoyd. George on his accession to the

service of the crown, made brlet but
pointed reference to the question Oh
peace.
"Thc country" he said, "has just re-
ceived some so-called peace proposals
from Germany. True. these proposals
are wrapped up with the familiar dia-
lect of Prussian arrogance. But now
comes it after two years OF war that a
power which Processes itself conscious OF
military superiority and ultimate We
tory begins to whisper-nay, even TO
shout so that all the world can hear
the word Peace'Y
as this from a sudden access of chly'
airy? When did the German chancellor
become so sensitive to the dictates OF
humanity?
"We must look elsewhere for the orr.
gin of the proposals. They are born oil
military and economic necessity, not a
shame.faced peace. There must be no
patched up, precarious compromise IL
must be a peace which achieves the pur-
pose for which we entered the war Such
peace we would gladly accept. Any
thing short of it we are bound to repudl-
ate by every obligation OF honor and
above all, by the debt we owe those VINO
have given their lives to the cause.

believe that they are prepared to give
us reparation and security. II they are
in such a mood, if they are prepared to
give us reparation for the past and Sc
curity for the future, let them say So.
Mr.. Asquith in congratulating Mr..
Lloyd George said that if he spoke from
where he did it was not because ne
claimed to be the leader of the opposl'
tiop. Opposition there was none, and his
one great desire was to place at the DIS

TESTING FISH LAW.
To Determine Right of Land Owners to
Keep Up Posters.

Woodstock, Dec 20.--In Windsor coun.

known farmer of Woodstock, was found
guilty of maintaining posters on his land
in violation of the fish and game law.
The penalty is not severe, being a fine
of $40 for each illegal poster, but the al
fair is of much interest, being, it is un-
derstood, test case and so far as known
here the first of the kind brought into
the courts of the state.
The defendant admitted maintaining
posters prohibiting fishing, long after he
had ceased stocking his brook, but
claimed that as they did not give the
date of stocking the waters, as the law
requires and were therefore Ineffective,
he was committing no offense. He was
merely trying to scare people away
