Seine Breaks and.
the Salmon Escape

The netting of the Sebago salmon
from the pool at the Raymond hatchery
on Friday was witnessed by nearly
hundred spectators. While there were
doubtless as many fish in the pool as
last year. the operators were handl-
capped by the breaking OF the seine
with its heavy load of struggling fish.
resulting in many of them getting
free. and the men were forced to sweep
the pool three times, while last year
one sweep yielded a thousand fish.
The four sweeps brought to the dip
nets about 800 salmon. lusty, writing
fish of noticeably larger size than
any in preceding years. 1t is estimated
by a representative of the local fish
and game association that the largest
salmon would weigh at least IL pounds,
and hundreds that were not less than
eight and nine. There seems to be an
absence of the small sizes-two to four
pOunds-and it was estimated that the
average weight would be near seven
pounds. Next week the pool will be
swept again. and it is believed that
there will be more breeding salmon at
the hatchery than ever before.
At Whites bridge and Croker river
there are as many more salmon seek
ing the natural spawning beds.-Press

stormy February night after straying
far from her course.
No trace has ever been found Of the

the craft in a lifeboat. The Polias
had Just delivered her third cargo al

One reason why no further attempt

a temporary setback and will make
itself felt every day of every session

rolls around"
AS to party reorganization, Mr..
Harrison said:
I believe that there should be n
change in the permanent organiza-

mean by that the Chairman George
White should not be retained as
chairman of the National commit
tee. He showed marked ability in
the management of the recent cam
paign which was waged against
overwhelming odds. No one could
have done better than he did under
the circumstances"

French Ambassador
Back in u. S. Nov. "a to
Patch Up League

Washington, Nov. 7-(By The As
ISOLATED Prostitutes Jusserand, the
French ambassador, who went home
several months ago on leave and who
later was assigned to special duty in
Connection with the settlement of the
Polish question is to return to Wash
ington on November "a. He is ex-
pected to bring with him the latest
views of his government regarding
the recasting of the League of Ma
lions covenant and to be prepared to
discuss the subject with the officials
of the Harding administration.
1t has long been known in diplo-
matte circles in Washington that the
principal Allied powers were prepared
to go far towards meeting any desire
of the American government for
changes in the plan of the covenant.
but it has been stated in at least one
important quarter that such changes
must in no case violate the underly-
ing principles of the convention.
Diplomats generally do not believe
that such changes that such changes
could be made by reservations such
as were proposed in the so-called
Lodge plan.
In their opinion amendments
would be necessary. They would re-
quire the approval of the various
signatory powers.
Another matter that will engage
the attention of Ambassador Jusser-
and is the status of the commercial
relations between the United States
and France under existing treaties.
France last spring gave notice to all
powers with which she had COM
me rcial treaties of the termination
of these conventions: her purpose
being to replace them with u COM
plete set of new treaties shaped to
raeet the new conditions in trade and
commerce resulting from the war.
Before the denunciation took effect,
however. the French government
withdrew the notice so far as it con-
cerned the United States.
France has not abandoned her
plan . of revising her commercial
treaties and is understood to be de-
ferring the opening of negotiations
with the United States until after the
change of administrations in Wash
ington on next March 4.
