DUTCH FISHING
 FLEET SEIZED
 BY THE BRITISH
Determined to Stop Hollands Enormous Supplies of Sea
 Food Reaching Germany.

Inc Hague, Sept l.-Great Brit ain. which has been regarding with growing displeasure the provisioning of Germany with fish from Holland, has now brought tho matter to head by seizure of somo 100 vessels of the Dutch f1shing fleet. and they are now lying under arrest in Peterhead, Aber- deen. Lerwick and KirGwan Unless an arrangement Is reached they are apparently to be taken before the Brit ish Prize Court on the ground that their catches are contraband because tho final destination thereof is Ger many.
 Even before the war Germany was the best customer of the Dutch fisher mon. but the effect of the blockade had increased that country's purchas- es on the fish market here to the ex- tent of . practical monopoly of Hol- lands exports The net export of va rious fish in recent years has amount cd to about 110.oe0 tons year, rep resenttng . value between $8,00O,O0O and $1z.o00, ,0oo. There was an enor- nous increase in the exports last year. 165,000, tons of fresh sea fish and salted and smoked herring alone being sent out of the country. Ger many's share was 144,9OO tons, as against only 33,7oO in 1914 and s6,-

matter in Parliament. It is strongly argued that there can be no question of contraband, as the fish is all destined for the open market in Holland, where any one is free to buy. On the other hand, there is the fact that com pany has been formed by leading fish ing craft owners, dealers, and others which acts as the buying medium for the big German company that under takes Germany's purchases of food stuffs in this country, under an ar engagement whereby it may deliver all the fish it can at a fixed price, viz, $1.S0 per cask, as against the price of 60 American cents prevailing before the war.
 It is quite possible that, now the Declaration of London has been aban- doned and Great Britain has fallen back on the pre-existing principles of maritime law, the Prize Court may de- eide against the fishermen and con- demn the Dutch craft on the ground that the ultimate destination of three quarters of their cargo catches may be presumed to be for the enemy, and threefore contraband.

300 in 1913. Sales to other coun- tries fell off approximately. America, for instance, at ordinary times draws a certain amount of herring from Hol- land, but the total of 14,247 tons dis patched thither in 1913 fell to 1,593 tons last year, and now the herring export to the United States seems to have entirely stopped, the total for the first six months of the current year being only eight tons.
 Such figures make clear what a hindrance the Dutch fishing industry has constituted to the Allies block ade, a nd sufficiently explain their anx- iety to bring about change in this state of affairs, particularly if it be remembered that, while British fish ing trawlers are being sent to the bot tom of the sea by German submarines, these Dutch craft are hauling in their loaded nets for the German markets right under. the noses of British naval guns.
 The question is, however, an exceed ingly difficult and complicated one, for some 10000 to 25,o0O seamen and oth- CTS earn their livelihood in the Dutch fishing industries; Hollands own fish supply is also involved; an indemnity, it is argued, could not counterbalance the far-reaching harmful effects of the laying up of the fishing fleet, and be- yond these material considerations is the fact that the Netherlands, with its proud record as a seafaring power, would deeply resent as humiliation the annulment of it's right to fish free ly on the open North Sea, and thus carry on one of it's oldest industries. Neutrality .forbids the singAng out of the Central Powers for a fish export prohibition, while a general export prohibition would cut away the main basis of the industry's existence.
 Meetings of protest have already been held by various fishing interests and the trades unions affected; the press has echoed the same note; and the Foreign Minister has explained the

Thrilling Moments in Picar dy Charges Described
 By Survivors.

London. Sept. 1-London is now heinz thrilled by the stories Of the push on the Somme, which the wouho- cd soldiers have brought back. Sore Iy wounded as many are, ana aIter journey which all the care made pare ly endurable, the men still jingle with the thrill of the charge, ana their talk is all of the rush.
 "We went over in grand style, salo a sergeant recalling the assault OH Montauban, "and found the place Tn an awful mess. Most of the houses had been knocked head over heels the only ones I saw standing were a couple of cafes. AS we came on we saw lots of Germans running out or tbe hack of the village, but there were nIentv of them monkeying about the ruins We divided the company up into groups of six but as we neared the village we joined up again.

The two bullets after piercing the mirror and case had met and fused into one lump of metal.
 ''I saw three Germans come up to two of our fellows and throw down their rifles. So our boys chucked down theirs, too, and went out for them with their fists, and they didn't half give them dusting.
 ''As we were going into Montauban we saw a German machine gunner up a tree. He'd got the neatest little platform you ever saw painted so that

 One man who had been at Mametx said that in the German trenches they found plenty of men. but as far as they could judge bombs were the chief weapons. not rifles. Several men spoke of the comparatively small number of rifles in the trenches.

This is the best time of the year for
automobile trips in Vermont. The
trees are beginning to show symptoms
of autumn color and the roads are
the best they have ever been. BY far
the best crossing over the Green
Mountain range just now is the one
between Bennington and Bratteboro,
Except that it is narrow and more
winding this highway is better than
the Mohawk trail unless the latter
has been improved lately. There are
n few bad spots in the road, the
worst being in Bennington. Sears

cuarly is building better mountain
road than any ether town in Vermont

do little on the west end Of its
section, but on the whole the highway
is credit to Vermont. More people

When the primary law was drafted
the editor of The Banner tried to have
the ballot divided by parties so that
each voter when he went to the polls
would have to ask for the ballot OF
his party In this way each voter
would have had only the ticket of the
party in which he announced his
membership at the time of voting
Few voters would have the nerve TO
step up publicly and ask for the ballot
of the opposite party, but when both
ballots are in their hands there is
sometimes a temptation to interfere
in the affairs of their neighbors. This
change should be made by the next
legislature and also the names should
be alternated on the ballot where
there are several candidates for the
same place. II was so provided in the
original bill, but the legislative com
mittee insisted on changing it to the
present form
