 With a small part of the seas on still remaining, the take of fox pelts from the colony of the Priblof Islands already has been the largest in 40 years, and discloses the success of the supervisory work of the Bureau of Fisheries, according to in- formation made available by the department of commerce. The take so far this season has been 1,426 pelts, 511 more than the total for all last seas on. The take from St. PauPs Island included 289 blue and 25 white foxes. That from St. George Island was LIP blue foxes. The pelts taken from animals of the St. George col ony are hand-picked by gov ernment employees so that the breeding stock will not be diss- ipated.
 Records show that from 1842 until 1860, when the islands were held by Russia, the av- craze annual take was 1929, which dropped to 1,240 in the years between 1871 a n d 1890. Since 1890 there have been but four seasons when the take was more than 1000 pelts.

submarine officers.
After the bill was reported, Repre-
sentative Ayres told the House the
Appropriations Subcommittee was "un-
willing at this time" to have the bill
reduced further because of worldwide
conditions.
In explaining the measure, the sub
committee chairman said:
"On the one hand was the insistent
urge TO cut. and then cut some more,
and on the other was the consciousness
OF our duty to provide for an estab-
lishment that world conditions pre-
scribed as a minimum but at the low
est cost consistent with a measurable
degree of efficiency,
"Whatever our individual convictions
may be as to the institution of the
war and the further need for armed
tain military and naval establishments
renee.
'Unhappily, the predominant senti-
ment of America, which am sure is
for everlasting peace, can not be i'm
planted in the hearts and minds Of all
mankind of other lands"
The Kansan said Admiral Pratt was
authority for the statement that the
naval operating forces had been re-
duced to the danger zone"
World conditions today unhappily
are not as inspiring as we might wish. ="
Ayres continued. The worldwide eco
nomic depression has disturbed domes-
tie tranquility in every quarter of the
globe.

called DR.. Irwin Blom. a dentist, who
had occupied the death cottage before
Mrs. Fortescue moved in.
Blom testified he had left the tar
paulin there which was used to wrap
Kahahawai's body during the dash to-
ward Koko Head. Thus the defense
hoped to strengthen its contention that
there was no premeditation in the kill
ing.
DR.. Paul wilmington, former Harvard
athlete, who performed an operation on
Mrs. Massie after the attack, testified
MaSsie appeared changed - extremely
nervous and under great strain, after
the assault.
He said he had urged Massie to rest
his mind, because I was afraid he
would crack II he didn't"
L. c. Artman, chief quartermaster on
the submarine to which Massie was at
tached, testified he gave the Navy Of
ficer a coil of rope to tie up his dog
This was another move by the defense
to strengthen its position that there was
no premeditation. A length of this rope
was used to bind KahahawaiS body.
Mai. Gordon Ross, high sheriff of the
Territory, testified MaSsie had come to
him before the Staying and had told
of hearing that Kahahawai was about
to confess the attack. Ross said Massie
had asked for help. The high sheriff
said he had told him to come back later.
Ross said Massie did not return and
that Kahahawai had been killed O few
days later.

Needed $4,000.

A concerted drive to secure for Georre-

during the 1888 fiscal year will be
launched with mass meeting at St.
Johns Parish Hall, 1548 Thirty-third
street, at o'clock Wednesday night,
April u, according to plans formulated
by civic groups last night
The move for mass meeting came as
the Progressive Georgetown Citizens
Association and the Georgetown Library
Association took cogniZance Of the fact
the House Appropriations Committee
had failed to report favorably on an ap-
preparation Of SIS, 900 to begin work on
the building. The entire project was to
have cost $l5o,ooo, and the building
would stand on land already acquired
at Wisconsin avenue and r street.
Senators to Be Invited.
Seeking to effect the restoration of
the library item in the District appro-
priatton bill when the measure reaches
the Senate, the Georgetown organiZa-
tons today planned to invite members
of the Senate Appropriations Committee
to attend the mass meeting. Delegations
will call on members Of the committee
prior to the meeting to urge favorable
consideration Of the request.
Cooperation Of other civic groups IN
the locality, including the Georgetown
Citizens Association, the Garden Club
and various women's organizations, will
be sought, and the mass meeting will be
fully representative of the spirit of the
Georgetown area, according to its
sponsors.
The Progressive citizens group took
it's action on the library when a dele
gate from the Georgetown Library As
sociation presented the resolutions which
the library body had adopted a few
minutes before at its meeting in the
home of Dorsey Hyde. president OF the

A protest was received by the Pro-
gressive Citizens Association last night
asking that steps be taken to remove
the ancient carriage stones and horse
blocks from sidewalk space, and brand
ing these obstructions a menace to
pedestrians who are abroad after night
fall. The association took no action,
however, declaring that the picturesque
quality of the reminders OF the horse
age justified their being left in place. j.
The association will plant memorial

Just what the French purpose has

Sumed the French government hopes to
use its policy as a leverage either In
forcing debt reductions or in cementing
its ties with the smaller EuroptAn
countries with which it has military
and political alliances.
Premier Tardieu, who was here DUR
ing the year as the head of the FTeInh
mission which borrowed vast Sims for
war use, has always been considered
friendly to the United States, but in
recent weeks he has been spoken of in
official quarters here as having dis
tinctly changed his point Of view. One
explanation advanced is that he is not
so much anti-American as he is strongly
nationalist, especially in the campaign
preceding the parliamentary elections
which are to be held next month.
The new duties will go into effect
within 80 days after they are pro-
claimed, unless, Of course, diplomacy
brings about a removal of the French
determinations. While there is no such
purpose in mind, it is believed that tenn
porarily some American manufacturers
who compete with French products will
be helped in the domestic trade, espe-
cially those engaged in the making of
cosmetics and other luxuries normally
imported from France.
A trade war is never welcomed by the
United States, but the feeling among
American officials is that it is time for
measures of defense. lest an acceptance
Of the principle of discrimination should
