The most promising thing about the
how effort for Irish settlement is that
the preliminary negotiations for,
lreat Britain have lH't'n handlcd by
Den. Jan. Smuts. premier of South
Africa.
v Smuts is one of the foremost
statesmen in the world, and one of
[he- most honest. 'l‘hc lr'lhl them-i
belves cannot help recognizing his
kinccrity. The very fact that hc oncc
led a war against the Tlrilish gives
him a. certain "commendation to thr-
Irish. The subsequent history of
Booth Africa and the part hc has
played in it are richly suggestive to
Irish leaders.
He has livml to see his country.'

To overcome this difficulty, which
also varies with every country, the
tariff bill proposes to base the duties
on the value of the goods in the Arn-

River shad. which fishermen say.

Derby and Ansonia began to pollute
the stream. may return if industrial
depression continues. This. at leat. is
the belief of rivermen along the Strat-
ford shore who have seen the pollu-
tion in the stream gradually diminish-
ing as one factory after another has
closed down due to the falling off in
orders for manufactured products.
Not in twenty years has the Hausa-
tpnic river water run as clear as at the
present time.
Whether or not the shad re-appears
in the Housatonlc there is no doubt
that mackeral will run heavy at th‘e
river mouth wit n a week or ten days.
Fishermen have already noted the ap-
pearance off Stratford point of the
first mackeral of -l\e season. The
mackeral are reportedjo be appearing
in largc schools at New London. Nor-
of federal troops in'that district. ar-
rived there Saturday night after a con-
ference with officials in this city. After
a hasty survcy of the situation. and an
examination of reports. he advised the.
mally the heavy mackeral run off
Stratford and in e Housatonic begins
one week later than at New London.
Local fishermen are getting out their
'tackle in preparation for a try at the
government that reports regarding mackernl next week.
