 The bull moose lives on the public domain and is very wastefu1 feed er He is of a wandering and f1ighty disposition. His flesh is moreover, coarse and stringy, his hide is thick. He frequently shows clumsy slow ness of apprehension which amounts to downright stupidity. Another mo- ticeabie characteristic of the bull moose is his inordinate and unchange- able selfishness. Whether roaming the woods in solitude, or tearing up the earth, or coming headlong at the call, he is thinking first, last and all the time of the safety of his own skin and the fulIness of his own stomach. Further indications of the bulls es- sentiaI se16shness are found in his frequent abuse and browb eating of all other moose that are smaller than himself. He cannot tolerate a rival, but flies into a jealous rage at the first suggestion that there is any otll- CT bull moo in the universe.-Extract from s"The Wilderness Hunter" by Theodore Roosevelt.

 As the football season draws to a close with the eliminating games for the championship over the fact is borne in on observers that the sport has not loomed so big as usual.
 This year attention at the very out set was diverted from the gridfron confbats. A critical baseball series for supremacy in the nation taxed the zeal of sport-loving Americans, and the result left them limp, whether in joy sorrow. Then there was a presidential campaign of abnormal complexities that further tried the ner- vous system. And last but not the least, the challenge of the Balkan a death struggle filled not a. little space in the newspapers and the nerves were overwrought again.
 But football still draws it's flag wav- ing, chorus shouting thousands. deS- pite war, pertiIence and politics. Rep utations have been won. others were made at Princeton Saturday, in the Stadium and on minor fields. The vitality of football in tremendous, ev- CT enduring.-New York Sun.

ficia1s of that road. It has been our opinion all along, as our readers know, that the railroad Is not ex- clusively at fault for these accidents. The public is in part responsible. There Is no reason to believe that the com pany neglects the inspection of its tracks. it's ties. its bridges. its cars, in fact its whole equipment. There is every reason to betieve that it fn- spects it's whole plant scientifically and constantly. Nor is it to be con- demned for every accident. There are thousand influences at work to bring about an accident, but, on the other hand, when a series of acci- dents occur in the same territory, there is something to be Inquired into. We should like to have the official opinion of the railroad officials as to the probable or likely, effect of speed ing upon the plant. This is a mere suggestion provided by inability to account for the recent series of ac- cidents on road formerly unique in its clean record. Somewhere there must be an explanation that explains

England Will Not
Reduce Her Navy

London, Dec. AL doubts We're
swept away, today. on the possibility
of Great Britain curtailing her own
naval program in view of the gift by
Canada To the British empire of three
powerful battleships at cost of $685.,
600, 900.
Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord
of the admiralty, speaking in the
House Of Commons, said he adhered to
the point of view of the Canadian gov
eminent, whiet.is, he announced:
That thc aid given by Canada
should b in addition to the existing
British program and that any steps
Canada might take should directly
strengthen the naval forces of the en-
pre- and the margin available for its
secarity."
Mr.. Churchill deprecated the putting
of further questions on the subject
pending the approval by the Parlia-
ment OF the Dominion. of Canada of the
naval proposal put forward by Robert
L. Borden, the Canadian premier.

England'S Formal Protest
Against the Toll Regulations
For Our Panama Canal.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Great Britain's
formal note of protest against that
section of the Panama canal act,
which exempts American ceastwise
shipping from payment of tolls for
passing through the Panama canal, a
document written by Sir Edward Grey,
British minister for foreign affairs,
was presented to the secretary of
state, Philander C. Knox, tonight, by
the British ambassador, James Bryce
who read the note. word by word, to
the secretary at the latter's home. 1t
is an elaboration of the points of OBJ
lection in the note presented to the
state department, last July. In brief,
these objections are:
That while it was clearly in viola
ton of the Hay Pauncefote treaty
either to remit or refund tolls on all
American shipping using the canal,
the same objection probably would
apply to the coastwise shipping, in
view of the probable impossibility of
framing regulations that would not
result in a preference to American
shipping.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1912-12-10

In addition to supporting these
points by long arguments, Sir Edward
Grey indicates very clearly that strong
resistance will be offered to any at
tempt to exclude from the canal Brit
ish ships owned by Canadian railroads
or whose owners may be guilty of
violating the Sherman antitrust act.
He holds that this section of the act
cannot apply to British shipping, but
only to United States, vessels.
He also indicates in his note that
underlying the objection to the exemp-
ton from toll of American coastwise
ships is an apprehension that in the
future the principle might be extend
ed to cover American ships in the for
eign trade.
otherwise, the note is devoted al
most entirely to an effort to demon
strate that any such exemption o.
American shipping as is proposed is in
direct conflict with the terms 'of the
Hay -Pauncefote treaty and that Pres
fdent Taft was clearly wrong when he
took the contrary view. Generally, the

The Bresnahan-St. Louis Affair
Observation-Disclosures ennant.

New York, Dec. 9.-The claim of Roger
Bresnahan against the st. Louis club for
alleged breach of contract probably will
be settled by an arbitration commission
in St Louis. This was the decision of
the board of directors of the National
League at its meeting here. today. Bres-
nahan and his attorneys, George T. Priest
and Arthur Sager of st. Louis, appeared
before the board and presented the claim.
The st. Louis club was represented by
President James C. Jones, who also is
an attorney. After listening to the argu-
ments for and against Bresnahan's claim
for four years salary, the board sug
gested some sort of peaceful settlement
and the attorneys retired for an hour to
discuss terms. On their return the tenta-
tive arbitration plan was preached and
received the sanction of the directors.
At the meeting of the board. tomorrow,
more definite plan will be adopted, but
it was said that in all probability the
case would be settled by an arbitration
commission in st. Louis, which under
the Missouri law will have power to
subpoena witnesses
Previous to hearing the Bresnahan
claim, the directors decided that they
had jurisdiction over disputes arising be-
tween club owners and players. and when
