 Dear sir
 We are in receipt of the papers you were so kind to send by last mail. To say they were appreciated would te expressing it too mildly.

HOW RUSSIA WILL
ACCEPT THE MESSAGE
BY ROBERT CRozrER LONG.

New York, Jan. l1.--President VIII
sons references to Russia In his ad-
dress TO congress are likely to have an
extremely good effect. They form the
first public statement from the ally
side that shows real understanding
of the difficulties which face the Rus
Sian government and Russian people.
and which recognizes that genuine
Humanitarian sentiments underlying
many extrayagances and blunders of
policy committed by the present gov
srnmant OF Petrograd.

mendous service to the allies by An

tons made at the time of the Bolshe-

would have been extremely dangerous;

Wiki, who, however they may blunder
In their home policy. are showing
much more determination than WAS
displayed by the more moderate gov
,ernments Of Prince Lvoff and Kersn-
sky.
The sound policy from the first in
dealing with Russia was to make the
best OF such conditions as existed. An
uftriendly attitude towards the Boil

Russia making peace with Germany
and II the policy had been too un-
friendly 1t might easily have driven
he Bolsheviki to seek German assist
ance which would have been given
gladly with disastrous results to the
allies, President Wilson proclaming
for support of Boishevikt anti-imper-
talist aims prevent a separate peace,
and in any case will kin the danger
Of their making common cause with
Germany.
They further supply a post line of
cooperation or Cancellation between
the Bolshevih and the more imperial

dents declaration in favor OF self-de-

pied West Russian provinces and who

VIII be pleased by the presidents de-
mand that Germany shall evacuate all
russian territory, and that the Darda-
nelles be opened under international
guarantee.
Russian rewspap ers received by me
since the November revolution show
clearly that the unwise threats against
the new Petrograd government from
SSt NaiH diiicu quarters were bitterly
resented without the least being
feared. However. unstable at home
the Bolshevtki may be, their measures
against the ally interests and diplo-
macy, notably their publication OF the
secret treaties. show that they do not
fear ally retaliation. That being so.
they were not to be favorably influ-
enced by denuncistions which showed
no understanding OF the appalling diff
ficultiee which New Russia has to
face. Pesident Wilson's policy will
propitiate Bolsheviki resentment, and
thus help towards the realization OF
the allies aim which should be first
to prevent a separate peace and II a
separate peace is inevitable. to ensure
that the peace shall be OF kind
which as little as possible. will impede
the allies policy in continuing the
struggle without Russian help.
l am sure that the Petrograd govern
ment and the mass of Russian socila-
lists will react fayorably to President
Wilson's message of appreciation and
sympathy and that this action will
speedily be shown in an improved tone
towards the allies OF the BoIsheviki

PART L
In the very nature OF tina thing,
there was never yet set of rules made
for the regulation of any certain class
OF men or Industries which was re-
ceived with open arms" by those af-
fectsd by them. So IL Is with the
regulations governing the placing OF
tish-net stakes In Chesa peake bay and
its tributary waters. These regula-
tions were made by officers of the
United States army. and have been
approved by the secretary of war.
Their purpose is the protection o. the
navigation interests, and not the re-
striction OF the fishermen.
1t is the purpose of this little ar
ticle to explain Cat least IN part). in
terms which 1t Ia hoped can easily be
understood by the fishermen. the
meaning and intent of these regula-
tons. Having been in chargs of the
enforcement of the regulations for
some time, 1t has been necessary for
me Tin order to understand them my
self to go into them pretty thorough

explained to me. II would seem,
therefore. that 1t is my plain duty to
pass along my understanding to the
men who are vitality intsre.sted-the

forcing the regulations was added to

the fishermen will always get

that many fishermen who were told
their nets were I'm violation" and
that they had to move them, have
feeling that this was because this

there was something personal In the

Many indeed are the new
resolutions that are made by us
at this season OF the year.
Somehow, we all feel that the
opening of new year means
a new beginning to life. and in
some ways 1t does, The great
est desire of all of US should be
to he good and TO do good--to
be of more service to each other
and to God. The life that counts
for most in two worlds is the
one that seeks to fiji the pass
ing moments with things worth
while.
The new year is now before

for one another lie one of the
