CONTROVERSY SETTLED.
AT LEAST DURING WAR
Canada and United States Reach
Agreement on Long-Standing
Fisheries Dispute.

OTTAWA. Ont. March 1S-The long
standing fisheries dispute between Cam
ada and the United States has been set
tied. at least for the duration of the
war 1t was announced here TODAY by
{. G. Ballantyne, minister of marine
and naval service.
Under the new agreement, which was
reached by the joint commission an
pointed by the two governments to
consider the controversy, United States
hshlnS vessels are to be permitted to
enter canadian ports directly from the
various hshing ground, and, without
requiring licenses. may sell their
catches at those ports and there pro
cure ireSh supplies and clear again for
the fishing grounds. This arranpema,t
is reciprocal, giving Canadian fishing
vessels similar privileges al JrnitaS
States ports.
The settlement breaks down all har-
rlerS which have for so MANY vears
mliltated against unlimited production
OF sea FOODS at fishing grounds where
hoth American and Canadian vessels
are wont to make catches Tho ;rri
tatlns delays to the ships of one coun-
try at the ports of the other will he
eliminated.
The Canadian government. authorized
by order in council under the war
measures act, has issued Instructions
to the various port authorities in ac-
corGance with the settlement As there
is duty in Canada on fish, such duty

MAY USE TRAINS IN
D. c. TRAFFIC TANG[E
Public Utilities Commission
Considering New Plan of Car
Operation Here.
WOULD RUN DOUBLE

Operation of street cars in trains to
insure more rapid transit is being con-
sidered by the Public Utilities Commits
sion.
Traffic Expert John a. Beeler has dis
cussed the plan with the commission,
and is now investigating to determine
on what lines train operation would be
practicable Only lines provided with
loops could be used, it is stated.
Under the scheme outlined, the trains
would consist of two cars, with the
second car provided with a motor. This
is known as the multiple unit control
system, motors on the two cars being
operated simultaneously. The first
car would require a motorman and
conductor, but the second would re-
quire only a conductor. The doors
would be operated by an automatic
air control device
Should train operations be decided
on, it would require the making of
considerable alterations in the present
equipment of the companies and also
the providing of new cars
Mr.. Beeler is favorable to the pro-
posal for a merger of the two traction
systems. If merger is effected. COM
prehensive rerouting accomplished
and sufficient equipment added, it will
be possible, he says. for 90 per cent of
the people of Washington to find seats
on street cars 80 per cent of the time.
Il don't believe the people of Wash
ington will ever get the benefit of rapid
transit" said Mr.. Beeler, until the
companies are merged and put under
one manag cement. so as to give uni
Versal transfers and make possible ex-
tensive rerouting of cars Irrespective
of trackage rights"

ARCHIE ROOSEVELT IS
WOUNDED IN FRANCE

NEW YORK, March 13.-Archibald B.
Roosevelt. a son of Theodore Roosevelt,
has been wounded in action with the
American forces in France. A cable
gram was receiced today at the colo
nels office here. Young Roosevelt is a
captain.
The message came from Theodore
Roosevelt, jr., a major with the Ameri-
can expeditionary troops. 1t reads:
Archie wounded by shrapnel slightly
in leg. Arm broken, but not badly. No
danger TED"

Col Roosevelt said when informed by
his secretary. Miss Josephine Stryker.
Oyster Bay. where the former President
is recuperating from his recent i'll
ness. las long as Archie was not
killed. everything is all right
Earlier in the day the colonial had re-
ceived unofficial information that a
French general had decorated Archie
with the cross of war for gallantry in
action. With details lacking as to how
Archie received his wounds, the
colonel said he associated the receipt
L.
Before Maj. Roosevelts cablegram
regarding his brother was received it
had been assumed that the cross was
conferred upon Archie" in connection
with an experience he had earlier in
the war
Regarding this earlier experience the
colonel took a few newspaper men into
his confidence some months ago.
The colonel said then that he had re-
ceived word that Archie" had led a
raiding party out into no mans land at
night and that he was under fire At
the time the colonel was talking an
nouncement had been made that Archie
had been jumped from second lieuten-
ant to captain, and the colonel assumed
that it was for that action.
A few weeks ago the former Presi-
dent sent cahlegram to his SON in
forming him that a baby, named Archi-
bald B. Roosevelt, jr, had been born to
the captains wife, who was Miss Mary
S. Lockwood of Boston.

NEW RATE ON GAS
MAY Be 90 CENTS
Probably Will Be Ordered This
Afternoon by Utilities
Commission.

A new gas rate, that will be some
where between SIS and 95 cents a thou
sand cubic feet is expected to be or
dered for the District by the Public
Utilities Commission this afternoon.
The commission went into session at 2
o'clock prepared to dispose of the gas
matter. Unless some unexpected hitch
occurs a decision will have been reached
before adjournment.
1t is understood that the method by
which the new rate is to be determined
has been agreed upon. which reduces
the problem to a question of mathemati-
cal calculation. Indications are that a
ninety-cent rate will be adopted, though
it is highly possible that this estimate
may be surpassed a few cents or even
lowered
The gas company now gets IS cents Il
thousand cubic feet, and has asked for
an increase to s1.10 to offset increased
cost of operation imposed by war condi-
tionS.

Maternity Hospital Bombed.

Fifty maternity cases in Nancy
hospital were removed from the hos
pital by the American Red Cross in
quick time after a recent air raid on
Nancy. One bomb dropped on the roof
of the maternity hospital and fell be-

German Captain Prisoner.

The raiding Gotha brought down in
flames fell on a spot three miles from
Chateau Thierry. A German captain
who was on board and was taken pris-
oner with the crew belongs to the
third squadron of the German seventh
army.
The fog which had covered the city
Monday morning settled down again in
the early evening. 1t was thick enough
to cause me general belief that there
was little chance that the Germans
would attempt an air raid. This belief,
however. was shattered at 9:10 o'clock
when the warning was sounded of the
approach of hostile aircraft. The raid
ended shortly after midnight
The official report of the raid says:
According to the first news. nearly
sixty enemy airplanes succeeded in
crossing our lines. Thanks to the cur
tain fire which our artillery maintained
throughout the raid with great in
tensity, a certain number of the ma
chimes failed to reach their objectiveS.
Nevertheless, numerous bombs were
dropped on Paris and its suburbs. Sew
eral buildings were demolished and
took fire.
