Accept Shipments Of Game,
Says Burleson.

Washington, d. C.-Evasion Of

Postmaster General Burleson replied
TO the interrogation of indignant Of.
ficials OF several states that congress
had placed no restrictions on the de-
partment as to accepting game. This
condition, the state game wardens
fear, will nullify in great measure the
state laws framed for the protection
of wild life.
Postmaster General Burleson point
ed out that under the law the post
office department could not discrim-
mate In the acceptance of packages
that conformed with the departments
regulations. Postmasters, therefore,
were compelled, he said, to accept
game for shipment when the regula-
tions were observed.

.CHOATE UPHOLDS WILSON
STAND UP FOR HIM IN MEXICAN
CRISIS, ADVICE.
Former Ambassador Tells New York
Chamber Of Commerce Presi-

New York; appeal to the
heart and the head OF every gen.
tleman present in this chamber In
this trying Mexican situation. There
is but one duty for all of us, and that
is to stand by the president Of the
United States"
This sentiment was uttered by Jo-
seph II. Choate, former ambassador
to Great Britain, Republican. at the
145th anniversary Of the New York
chamber OF commerce here.
you may call 1t diplomatic bust
ness, you may call 1t executive bust
ness, but it Is fair to assume that the
president is in possession of informa-
ton vastly superior to that which
even all the members OF the chamber
OF commerce possess" Mr.. Choate
said. HE knows what he is about
He knows what ne is aiming at.
"One thing we are sure of-that he
is for preserving peace at all hazards
and that by no act of his shall this
nation be plunged into a destructive
and dreadful war. We must stant
by our president through thick and
thin, and we shall come out right In
the end"
