Annual Consamption. The average annual consumption of fish in this country is less than twen- ty pounds per capita. The observance of the day, which. after this, will be on the first day of Lent. simultane- ously with Canada’s. is not merely to increase the sales for one day. but to wake up the fish industry., and con- vince it and the public that it is en- titled to a place as one of the leading businesses of the country; to bring home to the people a realization of the tremendous undeveioped natural resources of the fisheries of the coun- try, and to remind people that fish is not just a substitute for meat on fast days, or when nothing better is ob- tainable, but. when properly prepared, is a toothsome, staple and economical article of dlet at all seasons. One point in the announcement the United States Fisheries Association has sent out to all concerned in cele- brating the day Is of particular in- terest. Here it is “Don't raise prices. or yow will, by reaction, defeat the very purpose and spirit of the movement.” KERENSKY LEADS REVOLT IN RUSSIA, WHICH IS GROWING (Continued from First Page.) men in Petrograd and Moscow in open revolt against the bolshevist power, said reports received by the Russian information bureau. “from sources in direct connection with the move- ment." Similar uprisings were re- ported in several provincial centers. “While at the present stage it is difficult to predict whether this move- ment will culminate in an immediate overthrow of the so-calied bolshevist government,” the statement contin- ued, “it is safe to say that what we ‘witness today is the beginning of the end of the bolshevist power." SOVIET FACES DISASTER. Government Willing to Grant Reb- els Far-Reaching Concessions. STOCKHOLM, March 7.—The Dagens Nypeter says it learns that the Rus- sian soviet government is facing -a threatening situation and is prepared to grant the rebels far-reaching con- cessions. It was proposed to nego- tiate with the Kronstadt rebels, but nothing developed farther than a wireless discussion, in which the Kronstadt officials used firm lan- Euage. The seviet government, serted, offered to send a to Kronstadt. including members of neutral leanings. Kronstadt replied to this, says the newspaper, as fol- lows: “We do not trust members’ neutralit You send a delegation of red soldiers, laborers and sailors.

In keeping with the open-door poli- ey of President Harding, which in- cluded the throwing open of the gates of the White House grounds after they had been eclosed to the publie during most of President Wilson's ad- ministration, it is probable that the detall of policemen at the White House will be lessened. Members of the White House force of policemen, it is stated, have reason | to believe such a move is in contem- plation.

United States Attorney Laskey ointed out to the court that the Tnited States had fulfilied the condi- tion of speedy appeal placed by Judge Hand in New York on the renewal of the injunction against the telegraph company, and argument on appeal from the order dismissing the injunc- tion was being heard in the circuit court of appeals today. He suggested that no order of in- Junction should be issued against the new administration until these new cabinet officers had been given an op- portunity to express their position on the controversy. He pointed out that the new of- ficlals may disavow the action of their predecessors and may permit the laying and using of the cables or may approve the stand taken by the Wilson administration. Quotes From Evening Star. Reading from The Star of yester- day, he advised the court that Sena- tar Kellogg had discussed the cable situation with President Harding and asked that any order intended by the court should be deferred. Justice Stafford adopted the sug- gestion of Mr. Laskey and declared that it would be a mistake to enter an order in yhe present posture of the case. “Attorneys Clarence R. Wilson and Paul E. Lesh, for the company, were told by the court that if the situation changed in their opinlon they might be at liberty to renew a motion for an order*of the court. ANALYSIS OF THE WORK OF COMPOSER BRAHMS l Concluding Lecture of Thomas i Whitney Surette’s Course Under Auspices of Fine Arts Society. The concluding lecture recital in Thomas Whitney Surette's course, under the auspices of the Washington Soociety of the Fine Arts, was given 1ast night in the Central High School auditorium. It was devoted, by ex- ception, not only to & single composer, Brahms, but to a single composition of that master, the “Horn Trio, Op. 40" and well does the trio deserve the distinotion, for it is unique not only among the works of Brahms, but in the whole catalogue of chamber music. An unusual combination of instru- ments always stirred Brahms to a special creative feal. as the cornet quartet witnesses, and in this case the mellow horn shows a special odor of romance about the work. The main themes of the movement were con- ceived with the horn's characteristics in mind, and the inspiration rec nized the parts for the comps violin and piano, the piano especially, and, most of all in the slow move- ment, produced effects hardly to be found elsewhere in the literature for the instrument, effects possible to no other medium than its felt hummers though the difficult horn part. Mr. Surette gave a painstaking analysis of the work, bearing chiefly upon the matter of the recognition of the themes in their various manifes- tations and prefacing the whole by a rief estimate of Brahms as a man and composer. His reference to Brahms as the last German composer was significant, in that it swept Rich- ard Strauss, Regar and Malder out of koning, not to speak of Schon- berg. A show of hands by the audi- ence would no doubt have sustained the lecturer in his judgment. The audience testified to Mr. Suretfe that NEW LINCOLN MEDAL.

Premier Briand's newspaper, the Eclaire, said: “Action must be no less energetic than the decisions the allies have taken. The allles would have been lost if they had hesitated to follow up their threat with a blow."” “It was a brilliant diplomatic sue- cess,” declared Le Rappel, “to have thus checkmated German sachemes tending to break up the entente.” Sentiment in the lower classes in France was echoed in L'Oeuvre, which declared: “Then it is going to begin again? Let us hope not. It is merely debt collection, and not’ our fault, if the Germans oblige us to send our best army corps as col- lectors.” The communist L'Humanite asked: “Are the: pan-Germans and the French chauvinists again going to plunge the world into turmoil?” SOCIALISTS DISCUSS DEMANDS Conference of English, French and Germans to Be Held. PARIS, March 8.—French and Ger- man soclalist leaders are in conference at Berlin discussing the question of reparations, says a Berlin dispatch to the Journal. Preparations for a conference of French, English and German socialiats, which is to be held in April in a city of a neutral country, are being made, it is said, and the Germans plan to submit a program for the reconstruc- tion of regions devastated during the war. Plerre Renaudel, M. Grumbach and Leon Jouhaux, prominent French socialist leaders, are declared ta be in Berlin. Dr. Simons Appeals to League In His Reply to Lloyd George LONDON, March 7.—Dr. Simons. in his reply to Mr. Lloyd George regretted that the German proposals had been mis- construed, “For us, just as for you,” he mid, “the disadvantage of a provisional set- tlement is beyond doubt. But we have taken refuge to such a provisional set- tlement under the pressure of your ult matum, which forced us to come for- ward with definite proposals. We should have preferred to put before you a plan of total arrangement, a plan like that with which we originally started.” ‘The rman foreign secretary ex- plained that he had no second proposal in his pocket and bad, therefore, to try | to find a new way, both in the dele- gation and the Berlin cabinet. He had been charged to ask for a brief delay in order that he might get in touch with the BHerlin cabinet, but, he added: “We were refused even this short delay. “From this fact,” he continued, “it already appears that thore is no founda- tion for the fear that we should want to make use of the provisional settle- ment to reach a revision of the whole treaty after the lapsc of those five years. Says Ready teo Fulfil “On the contrary, the German nation has undertakem its obligation of making reparation, and it is ready to fulfill the whole of this obligation to the limits of possibility. We are therefore ready to enter Into the suggestion of the presi- dent of this conference to furnish the allies with part of the means which would be required for the purpose of reparation by laying aside part of the purchase prices of German goods deliv- ered into the allled countries for the reparation account. “I have submitted and recommended this proposal to my government, and can only say 1 regret that this proposal should have been discredited in public opinion in Germany by having been En ed by you among the sanctions to taken agalnst Germany. We agree with the president of the conference also in this point that it would be ad- visable as quickly as possible to get the fixed sums determined and to have also determined, the factors of the varied payments, in case of her economic recovery, which Germany would have to make toward reparation. “We further agree with your in- tention to set up an examination sys- tem of the fixed and varied payments to the different countries. ' These points, in our opinion, should be de- liberated on by a joint committee of experts as soon as possible, and I can only state It is a pity that when these experts meet the atmosphere will be embittered by the sanctions which are to be put into force againat us. “I fee] obliged at this moment, when the sanctions are definitely going to be put into force against us, to enter once more with all due emphasis a protest against your procedure."” “Germany,” he exclaimed, “is not a | member of the league, but she has signed the pact of the league, and I, therefore, announce in the name of the German government an appeal to the assembly of the league of nations against the sanctions with which we are menaced.” Dr. Simons had reference to article 17 of the league pact, which provides that in the event of a dispute between a member of the league and a state which is not a member of the league the arbitration procedure of article 15 applies. PRESIDENT A MEMBER. ‘Washington Automotive Trade As- sociation Elects Mr. Harding. President Harding was elected an honorary member of the Washington Automotive Trade Assoclation at the monthly meeting of the organisation at the City Club last night. Sidney Forst of the Forst Motor Company was also named honorary member, being one of the charter members of the organization, who re- tired from active membership last night.

This inquiry has developed the fol- lowing: Application was made to the{ clerk at the sixth precinct station for his release early Saturday night. Shortly after, according to District Attorney Laskey, he was telephoned by a woman lawyer, who asked If bond could be given for his release. He asked what the charge was. The reply was “Assault.” On learn- ing that the charge of “assault with a deadly weapon" was the only ome placed against the prisoner, District At- torney key informed ‘the inquirer that $5,000 bond would release the . pri oner. This was done, he said today, be- cause such a charge was bailable and because no.official mention of insanity was made. A “transcript,” used in bond-release cages, was sent to Frank Sebring, clerk of the Police Court, setting forth that petition for release had been made for Grock, who was charg- ed with assault with g deadly weap- on. Shortly before 11 o'clock Mr. Se- bring phoned District Attorney Las- key for authization to release Grock on bond, and was informed that upon presentation of $5.000 bond from a re- liable bondsman the release would be allowed. A recognized bondsman furnished bond for Grock and the latter was re- leased. Lieut. of Detectives Guy Burlin- game was on duty at police headquar- ters in charge of prisoners for that branch of the department, and was not informed of the release. The sixth precinet officers were in complete charge of the prisoner. District Attorney Laakey said to- day that he accepted full responsibil- ity for the release of Grock upon bond in view of the facts presented to him, and that he had done nothing that was not demanded by law. ‘The second apprehension of Grock was made by police headquarters men upon an afdavit of lupacy made out by Detective Sergeant s'red Cornwell, ‘This phase of the case is outside of the jurisdiction of the district attor- ney, Mr. Laskey smid today.
