 Intentions.

Washington, Dec. i The notes exchanged between the United States and Japan declaring their policy in the far east" which have been the subject of correspondence between Secretary of State Root and Ambassa- dor Takahlra for some months, were made public at the state department tonight. Accompanying the declara- ton are two letters, one from Mr. Takahlra and one from Mir Root the former expressing the belief that a frank avowal of the aim, policy and intention of the two countries in the Pacific would not only tend to strengthed the relations of friendship and good neighborhood between the two nations, but would materially con tribute to the preservation of the gen eral peace, and the latter declaring that this expression of mutual under standing ia welcome to the govern ment of the United Staes."
 In explicit terms the Ave separate notes are as follows;
 "1. It is the wish of the two gov ernments to encourage the free and peaceful development Of their com merce on the Pacfic ocean.
 "2 The policy of both govern ments, uninfluenced by any aggressive tendencies, is directed to the malnte- nance of the existing status quo in the region above mentioned, and to the defense of the principle of equal op- portunity for commerce and industry in China.
 "S They are accordingly firmly resolved reclprocally to respect the territorial possessions belonging to each other in said region.
 "4. They are also determined to preserve the common interests of all powers fin China bly supporting by all pacific means at their disposal the independence and integrity of China and the principle of equal opportunity for commerce and industry of all na- tions in that empire.
 "5. Should any event occur threat. ening the status quo, as above de- scrIbed or the principle of equal op. portunty as above defined, 1t remain, for the two governments to communl- cate with each other in order to ar. rive at an understanding as to what measures they may consider 1t useful to take"

CHAMPION SPEAKS
New Haven Game Commission CT Made Address at Dinner
 in Waterbury.
WARDENS APPREHENSIvE
Because of PeriIs ncurred-Sevcral Shot by Lawbreakers, He
 Says.

The MattatuclS Rod and Gun club held game supper at the Elton In Waterbury Monday night Among the speakers was Game Commissioner John M. Crampton of New Haven.
 The Waterbury American had the following editorial yesterday regard ing his regards:
 'In his remarks at the dinner of the Rod and Gun club last night, State Game Commissioner Crampton gave a somewhat graphic account of the diff fiouh labors of the game wardens of the state, and the perils they incur in performing them. He cited several cases where wardens had been shot by apprehended law breakers, and de- clared that as a result of their eXper- fences they were apprehenslve; q con dition which may account for the promptness with which one of our lo- cal wardens shot snarer of game, caught in the act MT. Crampton said that if this unpleasant and dangerous work was to be done at all success fully, the wardens must have tho SUD- port of public opinion, and the help
  of such organizations as that whose guest he was. He told of some of the work of the state commission fin i'm porting and breeding game birds, the difficulty of protecting them against man and climate, and said that his year, although the work of breeding fish at the station has been very suc- cessful the lack of water in the streams has made 1t almost lmpossi- ble to place them. Mr. Crampton' s remarks came late in the evening, aft CT big dinner and the usual amount of post-prandlal oratory, and 1t was almost the only practical reference to the official side of the spirting lfo in which their leisure hours, the mem- bers of tho club are interested"
