RETALIATION ON

 MAY BE ONE STEP
0utrages Committed on Belgians by Kaiser
 May Be Shifted
 On New Angle
FOR SEVERE MEASURES

WASHINGTON, July 19-Presen- tation to the state department by Belgian Minister De Cartier of re port on the deportation by German officials of twenty prominent Belgians in retaliation for alleged inhuman treatment of German civilian prison CTS taken in German Southwest Af- rica aroused discussion in official and diplomatic circles of the possi. bility of the allies inflicting retalia- tory punishment on Germans.
 Thousands of German civilians, it was pointed out, are in the allied territory, and it would be easy to mete out to them the same punish ment accorded Belgian capitalists in an effort to compel Germany to re- spect rights due Belgian civilians by international law and the laws of hu- manity.
 Thus far no retalliatory steps have been taken toward alien enemies by the allies, but continued illegal acts by Germany, it is generally believed, may cause them to adopt severe measures.

CLOSED SEASON FOR HALIbUT IS
 NOW BRIGHTER
Canadian Government Is Believed Ready to Now Act With United
 States

Regarding the question of a close season being applied to halibut fish ing, the following from a recent is sue of the Vancouver Province may be of interest
 "Halibut fishing companies here expect that the Canadian and Amer ican governments will shortly reach an agreement for a close season on the halibut banks of the Pacific Coast to cover two or three months each year, and to run for an ex- tended term of years. It has been proposed that December, January and February be the close season months, and there is a possibility still somewhat indefinite, that the restrictions upon halibut fishing will go into effect this year.
 Representations have been made to Ottawa by the fishing companies taking halibut asking for close season in order to protect the in dustry American companies also approached Washington. The United States government has already an nounced it's willingness to comply with the request provided that Can ada would do the same. At Ottawa the department showed some desire to set close season which would cover two or three years and would vary to the different halibut banks The halibut interests promptly Ob jected, however, on the score that the industry would be disrupted and with varying seasons on the banks halibut fishing could not be economi cally carried out. Up to the present the Dominion department has not yet taken any definite action, but il is expected will fall into line with Washington's proposal.
