THE GOVERNMENT WILL PRO
TECT MIGRATORY BIRDS

late WASHINGTON dlspa'th as
| .ho tolIoWin@ 81 interest concerning
he new federal law 70 protect mi
.ratory birds
iui three states, Florida Goorai@
and south Carolina may inda"" in
spring shooting Of migratory birds
this year, and that only fer part
0t the season. Before the end Of the
present month the ban will have
been placed upon those States also,
and then in the entire United States
spring shooting Of migratory birds
will be forbidden. The new law
went into effect in Maryland, Nir-
2ina and North Carolina only few
DAYS ago, and these were the last of
the States this far north to apply it.
The spring of the present year
will be the first time since the coun-
try was settled by white men that
birds have been permitted to 90 to
their northern grounds without mo-
lfstation. bucks from the Florida
Everglades already are beginning to
move in northerly direction. ami it
will be only a little while until snipe
ana Woodcock are also on the wing.
In, tn ID a G
sistant chief Of the biolo2ical @urvCy,
department Of agriculture, it would
be quite ont of the question to csti-
matte the number Of migratory birds
that will be saved by forbidding
spring shooting, but it will run far
into the tens of thousands, and per
haps even touch the hundreds of
thousands is very possible AS in
dcating something of the spring
shooting, Mr. Palmer calls attention
to one gun club in middle West
state which, with fewer than a doz-
en- men in the field with guns
| bagged more than $500 wild ducks
| in three or four weeks of spring
hunting.
The biological survey expects great
things from the new bird law, and
will do its best to see that the law
is enforced.
'What is the general attitude OF
sportsmen toward the new laW?''
MIR. Palmer was asked.
'They are friendly, in the main
Hunters in four or five States have
objected to the federal law, saying
they preferred State law, but that is
the exception In the States referred
to the law protected birds at seasons
when there were no birds to protect
and permitted shooting when there
should have been protection. We find
that real sportsmen are obcying the
federal law and glad that it has been
enacted. The most of the opposition
to it comes from those who shoot as
a business, for gain.

The editor Of Dixie now admits
in letter to the Ocala Star that
he never charged that Senator
Fletcher was party to the alleged
"discovcry" Of I)iXi" that p A..
Holt was seeking to secure the reg
istratiOn of negroes 10 vote in the
Democratic primary Then why the
terrific hullahallo0 in whica the
whole State was invited to rise on
its hind legs and roar ITS disanprov-
al? The people Of Florida have no
consuming interest in the local pol
itics of Jacksonville, but they are
deeply interested IN the senatorial
campaign, and the inference was as
plain as a nikcstaff that it was
sought to iniure Senator Fletcher
first, by making it appear that Holt
was his campaign manager, and sec
ond that the Senator was to directly
benefit by the negro registration. II
is now shown that Holt is not his
campaign manager and Dixie now
admits that it didn't seek to connect
him with Hollis alleged attempt tC
register negro voters. The episode
is ended Fletcher wins out, and his
enemies will have to think up some
new scheme to injure him. The
truth is that Senator Fletcher's case
is imprcgnable He will make a
winning fight from the start, ans
no matter from what angle you re-
gard Stockton's campaign, it is i'm
possible to see anything in it eX-
cept that he wants Fletcher's job

FIVE FUNDAMENTALS
OF THE CURRENCY BILL

Issue Of currency, guaranteed by
the government, based upon notes
and bills representing commercial
transactions and backed by a gold
reserve. The new currency is ex-
pected to contract and expand to
meet the varied demands Of trade.
Concentration of the bank re-
serves Of the country in regional
institutions capitalized by the
banks of the country and con-
troIled by directors elected by the
banks.
Creation Of a market for the ne
eotiable commercial paper which
forms the bulk of the assets Of the
banks, where, In time of stress,
those assets may be easily and
without loss transformed Into cash.
Establishment of from eight to
twelve great regional banks
throughout the country, which will
issue currency, rediscount paper
and centrallze and mobilize the re-
serves Of the local banks.
Creation of a federal reserve
board Of seven members appointed
by the president, with final powers
Of control and supervision over the
entire system.

Rirdman Crosses the Alps.

Berne, Switzerland-Oscar Bider. a
Swiss aviator. made a successful flight
across the Alps Thursday, though for
several hours he was unable to see
his way because of the heavy fog
which hung over the mountains.
Bider said that after leaving the
French aerodrome he was forced to
maintain an altitude of $500 feet al
most constantly to avoid the fog. He
passed over the Jura, the chain of
mountains separating France from
Switzerland, without being able to see
any landmarks, but recovered his
bearings on sighting the Jungfrau, one
of the most famous mountains of the
Swiss Alps, about half an hour before
he came to Berne.

servla and eeIaium at Peace.

Sofa-Diplomatic relations between
Servia and Bulgaria have been re-
sumed.
The second Balkan war grew out OF
quarrels over the division of Ottoman
territory among the allies after they
had conquered the Turks in Europe.
Servia was the first to turn on Bull
garia and was followed by Greece and
Rumania. Montenegro also declared
hostility to Bulgaria. but did not ac-
tually fight. Bulgaria accepted Ru-
manias conditions and agreed to the
terms of peace proposed by Servia
and Greece last July.

Reserve Required.

Each regional bank, under the act,
must keep a reserve of 80 per cent OF
the deposits it has received, besides
the 40 per cent. gold reserve behind
the treasury notes it issues II the
gold reserve behind the notes falls be-
low 40 per cent. a heavy tax is i'm
posed on the bank, which in turn adds
the tax to the rate it charges member
banks for rediscounts This was de-
signed to stop an over-expansion Of
currency. In times of sudden stress
the federal reserve board can suspend
these reserve provisions, in order TO
furnish quick relief to any commu-
nifty.
One regional bank cannot again pay
out the notes OF another, except under
heavy tax. These notes are expect
ed to return to the regional banks and
be withdrawn from circulation when
the need of their use passes.
