Capt. Ernest Parsons and crew Of the
SCH Pontiac have established new rec
ord in the fresh haddocking fishery by
the fine work for the year just ended. in
which the craft stocked $4,000, says the
PASSPORT Sentinel. As far as can be
learned, the record has never been du-
nlicated and Capt. Parsons and his men
naturally feel elated over their success.
The settlement which is up to January 3
this year is the talk among the fisher
men the past few days, and while the exc
act share of the crew has not been given,
is is figured that they have cleared be-
tween $500 and $14oo on the basis Of the
gross figures given. The Pontiac is sim

BRITISH CASE
TO BE RESTED
State Department Will Send
No Further Notes Con-
cerning Blockade.
ACTION DUE TO DESIRE
TO IGNORE GERMAN PLAN

Secretary OF State Lansing said yes
terday that no further representations
would be sent to Great Britain for the
present concerning the British blockade.
The decision Of the department is based
on the so-called conditional clauses of
the German submarine note. BY some
these have been interpreted to mean that
the maintenance of the newly announced
submarine policy is contingent upon the
United States gaining Concessions from
Great Britain in the operation Of its
blockade of Germany.
Secretary Lansing authorized this
statement:
"In view OF the apparent conditions
contained in the German note it is very
difficult to proceed at the present time
with reference to England"
The inference generally drawn from
this statement is that the United States
could not now proceed against Great
Britain without appearing to be forced
into that course by Germany.
1t was stated that no action against
Great Britain would be taken until the
conditions outlined by Germany were re-
moved. 1t was explained that this might
be brought about by an affirmative state
ment by the German government, or by
waiting a sufficient length of time to see
whether the German concessions are &C,
tuaIly conditional.

and cheers. One voice rang out above
all the others:
I'VE are out to win or lose this time,

The action of the carmen was in the
face of advice given by Rein Orr, or
ganizer, of the railway union, and Grant
Hamilton, representative Of the Ameri-

The ultimatum to the company was
issued because of the alleged tendency of
officials of the railway to temporize and

IN LETTER TO LEAGUE
IBy The Sun News serrIce.l

Oyster Bay. N. Y, May 1l-Thomas A.
Edison has come out for Col Roosevelt
for President.
He has expressed his opinion OF the
Coloners fitness in vigorous terms. and.
in the letter in which he makes his
views known and which he has sent to
the Roosevelt Non-partisan League, he
, declares that Col. Roosevelt is the only
man to be considered at this time.
Mr.. Edison's conviction is significant in
the light of his connection with the Will
son administration as chairman of the
naval consulting board, inaugurated by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels and his
cate of paciicism.
The letter to Guy Ferguson, secretary
of the league, follows:
Answering your questions as to my
views of Col Roosevelt for our next
President, I would say that I believe he
is absolutely the only man that should
be considered at this crucial period.
He has more real statesmanship, a
better grasp of the most important needs
of this country, and greater executive
ability to handle the big international
problems that will arise at the close OF
the war than all the other proposed can
didates put together.
His energy, capacity, and vast exper-
fence in large affairs of state and ma
