The Washington times., 1935-12-31

At the same time it is a warn
ing to the State of Maryland that
unless something is done to pre-
vent the indiscriminate destruc-
tion of this fish, other sections
with more foresight, will reap the
rich harvest of sportSmen dollars,
that should and could so easily be
kept here.
1t is common knowledge to the
men that know their Bay" that
purse and haul seines have been
working constantly, with little if
any hindrance. When caught the
penalty is never more than a small
fine and that only when it is car
ried before a magistrate who is
known to hold the real welfare
of the State before that Of the
voters in his section.
The Washington times., 1935-12-31
Greater Numbers

This year has seen greater num-
bers of striped bass in CheSa-
peake Bay than can be remem-
bered by most fishermen. Every
river and bay along its entire
length has been filled with them
this fall, ranging from this years
countless in numbers,
on up to the three and four-year-
olds.
And along with this wonderful
increase this year, has arrived a
new way to take them that seems
to be within the law as 1t now
stands.
Termed in bay parlance trav-
cling seine, it is, according to a
well-known Gainesville captain,
about the same as the Feruandina
shrimp trawlerS drag behind their
boats, only so heavily weighted,
that as it goes over the bottom,
the lead line sinks into every
crevice and hollow, taking into its
NAV all that lies in it's path and
in addition destroying the food
and shelter necessary to the ex-
istance of these small fish.
Can the few dollars that even
a whole boat load of fish would
bring begin to pay for the many
pounds of small fry that are
killed with every haul, which were
they allowed to grow to sport fish
size, would easily bring to the
fisherman, now turned toward
fishing charters, several dollars
for every pound so caught?
Hardly Expected
It is hardly to be expected that
the ordinary bayman can see far
enough ahead to know that these
striped bass given a few years
real protection, would pay divi-
dends from the pocket of the
sportsman, far in excess Of what
he can realize from them as a
periShable food.
But it is expected that they
who have Maryland's future in
their keeping should be able to
realize and see the potential value
of this fish, as a sure means Of
making a sport fishing section
second to none on the Atlantic
court.
Other States, particularly Cali
fornia, have been quick to realize
their value, so why shouldn't the
State that might be said to be
the very cradle Of their existence.
Later columns will cover the
possibilities, progress Of the bass
in other sections, and what we
think might be done foc the good
of ours.

900 Italians
 To Battle 500. 900
tContinued from Page D

Revelation of the Italian plans to take the offensive may prevent the attempt Ras Siyoum had intended to recapture Aksum and Aduwa and drive the Italians into the sea-" but Ethiopian sources believe the enorm- ous force he is said to have mobilized will stop De Bono in his tracks.
 Information in Djibouti was that Ras Siyoum has approximately 250,- 900 of the country's best fighting men scattered in sheltered and hid den spots along all the trails south fro mthe Italian lines and that Ras Kassa, governor of the western Amhara Province, would join him today or tomorrow with 10000 of the savage Amhara warriors.
 It was reported that Kassa may supplant Siyoum as supreme com mander of the northern forces, with Siyoum heading the general staff of advisers. War Minister Mulu- gueta was expected to leave Addis Ababa immediately to supervise op- erations in the expected battle, but may not arrive before the issue is decided.
 Ras Kassa's army, it was said, has marched across two provinces with out casualties from the constantly scouting Italian airplanes that spit machine gun bullets at every sight of Ethiopian concentrations. The men travel in small groups through the night and sleep under heavy cever days.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-19

as to who would emerge the vic- tor; whether Italy or Britain had made the first gesture. The fact was, however, that the two coun- tries hope now to- lessen the gr0w- ing suspicion and tension that has been approaching a dangerous peak for weeks.
 May Do Some Good
 If an agreement on the fleet and the Libyan army is reached, 1t may be possible to continue the con- versations directly on the Italian Ethiopian campaign. Even if they were long and difhcult, and the undeclared war continued unabated during them, the danger that the war would spread to Europe seemed lessened materially.
 It was understood here that France would replace from its fleet any British ships withdrawn. This was an indication that the League of Nations would continue its penal work. Mussolini has said that he would proceed with his plans with the league, without the league or against the league.
 The talk between Mussolini and Drummond was said to have been aimed at removing Britain from the international spotlight as Italy's antagonist and putting the League of Nations in its place. It was said in official quarters that Britain felt other nations including France, shared any responsibility in impos- ing penalties.
