OLD QUESTION
is NOW ADJUSTED
Fisheries Dispute with Canada Settled
By Agreement, with Approval
of President Wilson.

Washington. Feb. 26.--With the APP
prevail of President Wilson, Secretary
Redfeld has issued orders to customs
collectors to allow Canadian fishing yes.
sells to enter and clear between American
ports and the fishing banks.
Reciprocal privileges have been asked
of Canada for American fishing vessels
Thus has been settled by agreement
one of the important questions under dis
cussion by the American Canadian joint
fisheries commission. The Canadian gov
eminent has forbidden the netting of
pike perch at the spawning grounds in
the Canadian part of Lake Champlain,
making the Canadian practice conform
to the laws of New York and Vermont.
Necessity for increasing the food sup
ply was the reason for relaxing restric-
tions against foreign fishing boats enter
ing and clearing from American ports.
Demand for fish food at present ex
ceeds the available supply and promises
to become greater.
American fishing interests in the main
approved granting to the Canadians the
privilege Of marketing their catch in Bos-
ton and Gloucester direct from the banks,
without the delay of putting into Ca
madam port and changing their status
from fishing to a cargo carrying ca
pacty. The question has been bone of
contention for l25 years.
A board of excess profits reviewers,
of about dozen representa-
tives of special industries or businesses,
will be created soon by Internal Revenue
Commissioner Roper to make rulings on
specific questions involved in returns.

Republican Control of Con.
gress First Object-Then
Victory in 1920

Washington, Feb 26.--A drive for Re
publican control of the next Congress a'
means of electing a Republican presi-
dent in 1920 will begin to-day when VIII
II. Hays of Indiana, the newly elected
chairman of the Republican national
committee, viii arrive in Washington.
The drive win open with a reception TO
Mr.. Hays. which will be attended by all
the Republican members of the House
and the Senate. The reception will be
followed by series of conferences and
dinners lasting until the end of the
week.
kilograms exchanged yesterday by
Mr.. Hays and Congressman Frank
Woods of Iowa, chairman of the Repub-
lican congressional committee, indicate
that the national committee and the
congressional committee will work hand
finland in the congressional and senate
rial campaign this fall. Those who have
followed the inner workings of Republi-
can politics in recent years say cooper
alton between the two committees is
about the best thing that could happen
at this time. Mr.. Hays has given notice
that as national chairman he will not
seek to hog" any credit that may &C.
crue because of a Republican victory
in the elections next fall. On the con.
trary, he has indicated his willingness
TO work with and under the congresson-
al committee and has offered his services
as any other party worker might do.
Friends of Mr.. Hays declare that one
of the most important things he will do
while in Washington and New York will
be to get party workers to realize that
the war must come first and politics
second. Mr.. Hays will urge criticism
where criticism is due, but will impress
on those with whom he confers that Re.
publicans must give the administration |
as strong support as the Democrats in
all Just measures.
Mr.. Hays will settle within a day or
two the question whether he will open
headquarters in Washington as he has
been urged to do. He will hear what
various leaders have to say about the
makeup of the new congressional COM
mittee which he is to name and in re-
gard to the women's auxiliary which he
also will appoint.

"Wolf of Wall Street," He
Tells Attorney General

George sylvesteA viereck, former
editor of "Fatherland," at a conference
Of the Teutonic propaganda leaders
urged that the imperial German gov
ernmcnt purchase a string of thirty
morning newspapers in various parts OF
the country and operate them to sway
public opinion in the United States
against war with Germany
This statement was made yesterday
by Deputy State Attorney General AL.
fred l.. Becker, who, in cooperation with
Captain Charles L. Lloyd, of the Mill
tary Intelligence Service, is making al
investigation of enemy propaganda ac-
tivitics in this country. The informa
tion was. given to Mr.. Becker by Vicreck
himself in the course of ar cxalfina-
ton which lasted hours.
The examination brought out the fact
that some time before the purchase OF
"Thc Evening Mail" by the Germans
Dr. Dernburg, then propaganda leader
for Count Won Bcrnstorf, had warned
Viereck against forming an acquaint
ance with man named Lamar, who was
called "The Wolf of Wall Street"
Mr. Becker asked Niercck if it was
not true that there was considerable
jealousy between Dr. William Bayarc
Hale and Dr.. Edward A. Rumely after
the latter had purchased "The Evcnire
Mail'
'Naturally,' replied Vicreck.
"Did DR.. Hale feel peeved because
Rumely was put in charge of the paper
instead Of him ?" asked Mr. Becker.
81 think that Dr. Hale did not ap
prove of the purchase Of The Mall any
more than did" answered Nlereck
81 thought it was in effect the buying
ol dying evening newspaper. My idet
was to obtain control of an important
morning newspaper in each of thirty
large cities of the country"
In answer to questions, he said thai
ne would approve of running the
Papers along legitimate lines, but tha,
the German point of view be given con.
siderable space.
Mr.. Becker then asked Viereck to
estimate what it would cost to pur
chase this string of papers in thirty
cities.
~ suppose it would cost $4,000 ,Oo(
to S50,O00,00 1t would have saveo
them war. America would never have
entered the war. We could have savel
them from that"
