FISH TRAPS IN

D. G. Boundary Is Issue IN Dis
pute Over Rights Of vir-

The legal boundary Of the District of
Columbia promises to be the center
Of a suit between the District and
Virginia over the continued practice
OF fishermen on the Virginia side Of
the Potomac trapping fish In what are
by law defined District waters.
The boundary line Of the District,
according to Corporation Counsel
Stephens. Is apparently well estab-
lished by previous cases, as being the
high.water mark OF the Potomac on
the Virginia side OF the river.
President Louis F.. Perron. repre-.
senting the Potomac Anglers Associa.
ton with nearly 5000 members, Is
waging a battle to have nets on bass
spawning grounds near the Virginia
shore at Four Mile run and Gravelly
creek removed. The nets have al
ready been removed once, during May,
but Lieutenant Dean, OF the Harbor
precinct, Perron' charges, has per-
mitted nets to be erected at the same
points once more. 'r ..~.'
Fishermen who have been making
hauls at these points, and bringing
their catches to the District for sale,
claim to have been licensed to do net
fishing by the authorities Of Alex
andria county. .1' .'.
The question therefore arises: What
has Virginia to do with fishing In
District waters? +.
Stephens Is ~communica Ting with
Prosecuting Attorney Fred Ball, Of
Arlington county, in an endeavori 10
arrange friendly test case, shat a de.
cision may be obtained. - 81 -
As representative Of the anglers OF
the District, Perron claims the fish OF
the Potomac are being exterminated
by net fishing in violation Of the fish
Ing laws prohibiting net fishing on
spawning grounds. *
Fishermen are keenly Interested in
the outcome Of the proposed suit, in
asmuch as many have been making a
living from their net catches, The
practice has been permitted for many
years and the, fishermen. VIII un-
doubtedly enter the controversy with

NEW PLAN
FOR DRILL
PROPOSED
Real Training In Warfare With
U. S. Cooperation Is
Program.

The drilling methods of the
cadet corps of the District public
schools will be completely revolu-
tionized this year on world war
tactics and will amount to virtual
military training in the schools, ac-
cording to an announcement Of
plans for the coming year by Col.
Wallace Craigie, in charge Of
cadets.
VIII Learn Tactics.
No longer win the blue-clad figures
OF the high school cadets use the city
streets for training grounds and go
through a hackneyed drill that
amounts to no more. than marching
and presenting a manual Of arms. says
Colonel Craigie. s, -
They will be instructed in the mill
tary warfare and tactics used on the
battlefields of Europe. Bombing,
trench warfare, map work and field
Ing win be taught theoretically just as
the soldiers are instructed at Camp
Benning. Ga. 1t is known as the in
fantry plan or the school of infantry"
Equipment for the new training will
be borrowed from the War Depart
ment and the scene of drills will be
transferred from the city streets to
lots and fields out in the city suburbs.
This Is made necessary by the fact
that the new order Of training requires
field work and the city, streets will
no longer be Of use. 81
u. s. Is Cooperating.
School authorities are making ar
rangements with the War Department
for Its fullest cooperation in the new
plan and will ask for two military ex-
perts versed in modern military
methods as instructors. t|
The new regulations will 60 into
effect on September 10. shortly after
the enrolment Ia completed. Enlist
ment in the cadet corps here Is not
compulsory. but high school boys are
encouraged always to join.
This year we hope to increase the
cadet corps to twenty-five companies"
twenty-one. At Central High, where
there are 5000 students, we hope to
have twelve companies alone, which in
all will make a whole regiment.
go New Regulations.
THE new regulations are the same
that are in use down at Camp Ben
ming, Ga. The boys in the. schools
here will be taught Just the same, only
theoretically. 1t is time the cadet
corps is modernized. The uniform
will be the same. This year 1t Is
cheaper, costing $22 instead Of the
y35 of last year"
The reorganization OF the cadet
corps here is looked on by observers
as an effort ~ school authorities to
make the cadet system modern and IL
largely a result of the methods used
in the world war, which has itself
completely revolutionized methods Of
warfare.
