The colder weather. and northwest winds
of yesterday brought the ducks back on
the river, as was expected, but the per-
sistent hunting of them in this vicinity
drove them away to less hunted localities.
Yesterday morning several fiocks were seen
on the river between Alexandria and Wash
ington, but yesterday afternoon only a
few ducks remained, the others dispers-
ing. In Dogue creek and other tributaries
of the river below this city the water fowl
are quite numerous, several hundred of the
birds having been seen there yesterday.
Up to this time ducks have been very
scarce on the river and the hunters have
had but little success with them so far this
season.

PASSING OF MOSQUITO
AT BEAUTIFUL CAPE MAY

Possibility Of the total humiliation of
mosquitoes from Cape MAY in the near
future gives residents, hotel men, cot
tagers. and visitors a joyous feeling
This comes from the illusions TO the
subject in he annual report Of John b.
Smith, the State entomoiogfst and mos
quito expert. VINO has done so much to
aid other sections of the State to rid
themselves Of the plague. The report
shows that the entire territory ada
cent TO Cape May may be rid OF the
pests in very short time and at trifiing
expense.
These conclusions are supported by the
actual fact that since the improvements
were begun in East Cape May. the crop
OF the pesky insects has perceptibly
lessened because their breeding grounds
are being destroyed.
Among other things Mr.. Smith has this
10 say concerning the possibilities for
this section: 1T Is a common belief
that the inland swamp areas on the
Cape May peninsula are prolific mos
quito breeders but this proves to be
mistake Mr.. Niereck covered the shore
territory roughly 10 Ocean City and
thoroughly to Seven-mile Beach. In
land ali the low area from Schellenger's
Landing diagOnally across to Sea Isle
Junction was closely collected over.
1t Is q most important fact that, while
throughout this area sOlhcitans was the
only troublesome mosquito. not a larva
was found away from the salt marsh
region. The practical bearing OF this
Is that as Cape May has ocean OF bay
10 the east, south and west and highland
along the Delaware Bay shore, IL can
get no marsh mosquitoes from outside
its own territory except such as may
come from Two-mile Beach.
1T r. practically the only shore resort
IN New Jersey where local effort will
produce freedom, and IL win not require
an expenditure Of over s. 900 70 do the
entire work. With it's unequaled shore
and it's sea breezes from almost every

dignantly denied the truth of these as
Sertions. They declared that only eleven
men had left the ship. and that none OF
these had lodged any complaints.
As to the charge Of starvation. they
said that this probably arose from the
fact that the machinery of the refrig-
orator was out Of order and they had
TO use salt meats altogether. There
was enough 70 supply the hunger of all

over They said they heard no COM

The story that came from the Angus

has the distinction Of being the first

knowledge of conditions in the Jap
anese-Russian conflict. Capt. James
Baker, of the steamship. told Of his ex-
perience yesterday.
We were billed 10 deliver a cargo OF
smokeless coal upon japanese soil he
said, and we went to that country by
way OF the Red Sea. This route is also
taken by Russian warships, and We
passed one on the way. But we srnoth-
cred all the lights and slipped past in
the darkness. If We had been caught
with contraband goods, such as coal,
aboard our vessel would have been
seized.
The Japs feel sure that they will win
the war. They feel that there could be
no other result Yet, the majority Of
the people there have as little actual
knowledge of what is going on as the
people in this country. The news OF
