WAR ON SEALS.
Shrapnel And Land Mines Suggested.
East Coast Plague.

Fishermen in the Wash are becoming
greatly concerned about the steady in
crease in the number Of seals there. 1t
is estimated that there are now about
1900. and each seal eats about 4cwt. of
fish day. The Lynn Slip''--a sole of
great deIicacy-is becoming very rare.
Sanction was given last week by the
Board of Agriculture and Fisheries for
rewards to fishermen for killing these
seals.
The Eastern Sea Fisheries Committee
now have to obtain the approval of the
Ministry of Health.
They are requesting that they may
expend a sum not exceeding $3.50. The
reward will probably be los. per nose.
1t is thought that the only way to
make a big reduction in the number of
the seals is to she'll them with shrapnel
or to explode land mines in the sand
banks, where they congregate in focks
of 300 or 400.
A snow-white seal was shot last week
on the sands near Berth, Cardigan

STA is to create a revolution in the East
with the object Of destroying British
power and British prestige. In other
words, the traditional designs of Russia
have now been resumed in a ne7 and
more formidable shape.
"nsfood of anti British propaganda is
being directed against impressionable
points on the perimeter of the British
zone, Early in 1923 the government
made a vigorous protest, but the theoret-
zeal distinction maintained between the
Soviet government and the Third Inter
national has operated TO render this pro-
test largely ineffective.
."Although the fiery denunciations of
Great Britain enanating from Soviet
statesmen seem to be inspired quite as
much by the desire of maintaining, and
extending Russian influence as by any
determination to foster the spread of
Communism, it seems impossible to be-
lieVe that normal relations between Rus
sia and the British Empire can be resum-
ed until the underground revolutionary
activities of the Third International,
which are directed towards the expan-
sion Of Russian influence in Asia, are en-
tirely abandoned"
The most active efforts of the Russian
Government at the moment. according
to the India Office, is to extend and con
solidate the influence of Moscow in AT
ghGnistan. This is taking the form Of
great commercial activity under a trade
treaty concluded in 1925.
"A series of prosperous years and a
steady return towards economic stahil-
ity," it is explained, have tended to oil
vert in other directions the interest
which the masses a few years ago, began
to exhibit in political questions. 1.-THE
