When Jonkheer van Karnabeek
Dutch foreign minister, was In
Washington two years ago at the
armament conference, this observer
discussed with him the Netherlands
treatment OF the fugitive kaiser and
crown prince. Van Karnabeek said
that the Dutch government had
agreed to treat the former Hohen-
zollern nabobs as"gentiemen" as long
as they conducted themselves accord
ingly. Whereupon the writer recalled
TO Jonkheer van Karnabeek a maiden
experience in learning the German
language at Berlin twenty years ago.

To the Editor Of The Star:
A short time ago a letter appeare ed

fanatic; for why should any sane per-
son desire to speed, endangering
thereby both life and property. unless

It must be remembered that every

laws Of the community some proper

units may have the fullest immunity
from injury.
: It IL a great mistake to think that
speed" is necessary TO the business
Of a community. where all rates Of
travel are brought to the same stand
ard; all competition then, being at
the same rate Of travel; for. remem-
ber. that when all business was horee-
drawn IT went forward comfortably,
sanely and profitably as now.
Scarcely day passes now that
newspapers do not record deaths and
injuries to many people. and usually
all are the result of speed.
Now, what is needed to correct
largely the evils Of speeding is q dfas-
tic law for the regulation Of speed
within the District OF Columbia.
Therefore. as lives are more valua-
Bile than speed, I suggest that ALL
street traffic be made to conform to
some uniform rate OF travel as a
maximum. and every machfne-driven
vehicle be geared to this. rate, which
would lirxA4 to fifteen miles an hour,

STATE LICENSES
ROUGH FISHING.

Information from the Office of
the state game and fish commission
in regard to rough fishing with nets
in certain Minnesota lakes indicates
change in this policy which has
been followed. The privilege to
take such rough fish as suckers, buff
falo, dog fish, carp, redhorse, and
other fish not classed as game fish,
from lakes in Minnesota, will be
awarded to the highest bidders.
When the state game and fish de-
partment deems it for the best i'm
terests of any lake that the rough
fish be seined out, bids will be
called, on a percentage basis. In
other words, the bidder will agree
to pay a certain percentage of the
proceeds of fish sales to the state
for the privilege of taking the rough
fish. Licensees will be required to
furnish surety bonds to the state
game and fish department, protect
ing the state, and assuring that the
SEEMING will be done in a proper
manner.
In taking rough fish, a repre-
sentative of the game and fish de-
partment will be on hand at all
times to see that as little damage
as possible is done to game fish, and
to prevent the killing and sale of
such, fish. The primary object Of
all rough fishing under state author
ity is to preserve, protect and pro-
pagate game fish for all the people
of the state. Where rough fish
abound in large numbers, they prey
upon the eggs of the game fish,
and thus prevent them from repro
ducing naturally.
