to prevent the danger Of further con-

RUSSIAN ARMY READY
Time Expired Soldiers Retained
Until Spring.

st. Petersburg. Nov. s.-The Russian
government has decided to retain all
the time expired soldiers OF the Russian
army in active service with their regi-

the Russian army practically on a war
footing. as the order affects several
hundred thousand men whose places

taken by the same number OF recruits

OF preventing war, and 1t is thought
that this can only mean that the gov

The detention Of the time expired

AUSTRO-SERVIAN OUTLOOK
Threatened Rupture Raises the
Spectre of a Great War.

Paris, Nov. 8.-The threatened rupt-
ure between Austria Hungary and
Servia on the question OF Servian ac-
cess to the Adriatic and the immensely
of numerous other political quicksands
caused by the collapse Of Turkey are
causing grave concern In diplomatic
circles in Paris.
At the moment when an Intimate
accord is more desirable than ever be-
fore, IT is pointed out that the two
groups of European nations known as
the Triple Alliance and the Triple En-
tente. which together compose the So
called concert Of Europe, find themselves
badly out of tune and arrayed in hos
tile camps.
With Russia leading, France and
England are inclined to support the
Servian claims on which Austria Hun
gary, backed by Germany and Italy, has
apparently placed a direct veto.
Among other bristling international
difficulties are the compensation Ru-
mania will demand as an Offset to the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF Bulgaria, the future
standing Of the Dardanelles, Constan-
tinople, Salonica and Turkey in Asia,
the fate Of the Islands in the Egean,
the regime to be introduced in Albania
and the adjustment Of the conflicting
Austrian and italian special claims
there In such a way that the other
powers shall not be prejudiced.
Apart from all these European con-
troversies comes news Of the procla-
nation of a Russian protectorate over
Chinese territory equal in extent to
one third Of the whole Of Europe.

Of the Balkan situation, according TO
information received here.
Both Austria Hungary and Italy are
represented as having agreed not to
make any territorial claims for them
selves, and jointly to bar Servia from

STATE GAINS LITTLE FROM
MONEY PAID BY HUNTERS
1T is NECESSARY 10 SPEND
MUCH OF LICENSE MONEY
FOR PROTECTION.

Every year when the hunting sea-
son opens and hunters arc compelled
10 pay heavy Licenses to enjoy this
sport for few weeks many people
of the upper peninsula are OF: thI
opinion that the state receives great
profit from them during the hunting
season.
According to figures recently given
ont by State Game and Fish Warden
Oates, IL is shown that while the state
still receives thousands of dollars an
nually fer allowing hunters to patrol
the woods OF northern Michigan, yet
with the amount NJ money that IS be-
ing paid out annually for the protec-
ton of game, the hunting season is
rather a burden than a source of large
profit for the state Last year the state
paid out $4,000 for the protection OF
fish and game.
This is the total amount provided
for the salaries and expenses OF
twenty nine deputies who patro'
1900 miles of lake coast nearly 10000
inland lakes and 5000 miles OF
streams, besides the nat ural haunts
and the territory where game is
hunted. The expense o! this protec-
zion is still being paid from the sale
of licenses and from fees, levied
against commercial fishermen and
hunters. II is believed, however, when
the game is gradually killed Off and
interest in the sport lessons. the state
laws and consequently the cost OF
protection Of the game will exceed
the receipts. Last year, however the
receipts exceeded by a large margin
the money expended for protection.
Protection Costs Little.
The money expended in Michigan
for game protec ton is much smaller
than in most states where game is
hunted or licenses to fishermen are
issued in any large numbers. The
following amounts are available to be
issued for protection in the different
states, the money all coming from
the receipts from licenses: California,
