STRONG NAVAL BASE
IN MEXICAN TERRITORY.

Washington. April 3.-Despite the
state departments formal declaration
that II had absolutely no Information"
on the report tina Japan had secured
q naval base a Magdalena Bay. Mex
leo. 1t is believed here that news Of the
move reaching here several days ago
has bcen a fruitful source of the anx-
icty plainly admitted-by state depart
rnent officials as to the Mexican sit
uation.
One year ago the American consul
az Manzanillo reported TO the depart
ment that Japan was cndeavoring TO
obtain a naval base ostensibly for her
merchant vessels. Publicity and
prompt hints from the administration
that such move would be regarded
as violation OF the Monroe doctrine
led to official denials from the Japan
Csc ambassador here. Ever since that
date. the United States has kept close
watch on every move toward granting
OF such a base to Japan.

CARLOAD OF ELK
SENT TO GLACIER
NATIONAL PARK.

Washington April S.-Thc expert
ment OF shipping several carloads of
elk from the Yellowstone park To west
ern Washington was so successful that
the interior department has decided
TO transport some of the elk from
Yellowstone park to the Glacier Ma
tional park. A carload Of elk mas
been captured at Gardiner and is now
being transported to the western slope
of the Rocky mountains in the Glacier
National park. This work has received
the cordial and active cooperation
OF the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern railroads, which have trans
ported the shipment free OF charge for
the entire distance.
1t is estimated that there are at
least 10000 elk in the Yellowstone
AS there is not sufficient range To af-
ford winter forage for such large
number OF animals, the department
is allowing their shipment to other
places il they are protected by ade-
quate game laws.
The transfer OF the elk TO other
ranges will benefit the animals that
remain in the park and at the same
time will add to the game supply in
areas where the elk has largely been
eXterminated.
