MAINE MINIMUM FOR
Federal LOBSTER LAW

Boston. Feb. IA discussion Of the lob

day Of the International Fisheries Com
mission, continuing its hearing here on
questions involving the fishing interests

Federal Law Favored
A federal law regulating the size Of
Holsters trapped in the waters Of the
United States, OF shipped in Interstate
commerce. with Il similar law in Nova
Scotia. was favored BY several Of tine
speakers Alfred Young of this city, IA
lobster dealer declared that if the in
dustry was TO be saved it would have 70
be protected by law, and the law rigidly
enforced. Mr. Young said the Maine sit
liation had improved since l0A inches was
made the minimum size for marketable
Holsters in that State and. with other
speakers, he advocated the adoption o.
this minimum as the standard for a fed
eral law.
During a discussion of the fish curing
business it was brought out that the In
creased consumption of salt fish as a
meat conservation measure has caused an
year which the dealers had not always
been abb to supply. This was due to
some extent, speakers said. to the inabil-
ity to obtain fresh fish. To offset this,
plans are being made for the expansion
Of the steam trawler feet operating out
Of Boston to three times it's present size.

New York, April 2-The initiative
along the new western battle front has
now almost wholly returned to the al
lies with the Germans fighting prac.
tically everywhere on the defensive.
This does not necessarily mean Gem
eral Foch is preparing to put a major
counter offensive into immediate
operation. A policy of caution may
suit present requirements better than q
hasty retaliation against Won linden
burg's CHASTITY slaughter of Germany's
own man power.
The movement of American troops
from the Lorraine front to western
France, does not yet suggest the allies
have decided to risk the outcome of the
war to the test of a new super-combat
in Picardy. Present indications suggest
that the American troops involved in
the transfer are limited in number and
their appearance side by side with tbs
French and British will be largely for
morale effect.
The matter OF morale among civil
ians at home has now become a vital
element in the war. More than ever
before, the allies must prepare for
silent endurance, while waiting for the
reaction in Germany to the gigantic
casualties of the last few days. The
| next phase of the western combat may
not consist Of field engagements at all
1t may be the renewal of dissent in
the central empires over the realization
that the sacrifices to the HohenzallerD
Moloch have not ended the war.

no more than to make that area a Ger

allies holds firm. There can be no

Milwaukee, Wis, April 2.--Wiscon-
SINS bitter three cornered senatorial
campaign in which loyalty to the nation
at war was one of the dominant issues
ended today. Tomorrow the state will
elect a successor in the Senate to the
late Paul Husting, democrat. and po-.
ktical prophets expect one of the clos
est contests in Wisconsin's histor.
Representative Irvine l.. Lenroot,
running on a Npro-war loyalty platform

Federal Trade Commissioner Joseph e.

demanding undivided support of the
administration is the democratic choice,
Victor l.. Berger, socialist, is seeking
election on 100 per cent for peace"
platform.
The attitude of the republican and
democrat candidates as opposed to Der

that divided the state into bitter fac

not hesitated to accuse Berger and his
supporters of pro-German sentiments
| His election. they declare, would be a
