Authorities to Take Steps to Protect
Water Fowl.

Large nun: ers Of ducks have been
gathering in the creeks and bays on
the Virginia side of the Potomac
which owing to the law prohibiting
the hunting Of wild water fowl by
means Of motorhoats, were constant
ly increasing and becoming very
gentle until last week when a num-
Der of these, crafts made several
raids in Occoquan Bay and the ad-
jacent tributaries with the result
that not single ducR was left ON
the feeding ground.
Officers charged with the duty of
enforcing these laws have been in
structed to keep strict watch in the
future and to arrest all such Of
tenders. The penalty for this offence
is very heavy and should these gen
tlen1en be apprehended in the act,
or should their names be obtained,
vigorous prosecution will undoubt-
edly follow
Most of the offenders it is said
are non-residents and the District of
Columbia officials will be requested
to cooperate with the Maryland
and Virginia authorities in an effort
to locate and convict the guilty part

American business men in the laconic
message sent yesterday by Thomas

MIX. CARLIN FAVORS
STRONG ARMY AND NAVY.

According to a dispatch from wash
inston all the Virginia members Oh
Congress with the exception OF Rep
resentative Carlin, from this dis
trict, are opposed to the suggested
inquiry into Americas "unprepared-
ness for war defense" at the pre-
sent time. We have not had an op-
portunity to interview Mr. Carlin on
this question but we do know that
he has always favored strong army
and navy and therefore it is plausi-
able that he would approve an inquiry
into the condition of our national de-
fenses provided there was the slight
est intimation that they were not
as effective as war and navy officials
contend.
Representative Carlin believes this
country should have navy and army
of sufficient strength not only to pro-
tect it against any ambitious power,
but to carry, the knowledge that the
United States is ready to compel
lust and fair treatment to its inter-
cts the world over. He thinks the best
way to acquire this military and ma
val strength is to spread it broad
cast over the country, and then the
people will not object to the increas-
ed taxes larger military and navai
establishment will incur.
Of course much of the newspaper
talk of the peril to the United States
from foreign power is greatly eX-
aggerated and the glaring headlines
Of a Washington contemporary fore
telling the capture of American cities
and the heavy tribute liable to be
levied upon them is nonsense. At the
same time our country should not be
permitted to go to sleep when such
serious conditions are existing in all
other parts Of the world.
Representative Hay, of Virginia,
chairman of the House Military Com
mittee takes positive stand against
4 big army reserve. and says that
America was never more safe from
attack than she is now, rs Europe
is too busy to modest US.
Because of this apparent safety
Mr.. Hay, said the Military Committee
will take no steps to obtain big
army reserve, as recommended by
General Wotherspoon, until recently
chief of staff.
Mr.. Hay is skeptical regarding the
need for building up a giant re-
serve He doubts that his committee
will take any steps along this line
or that the House itself will under
take in the short session to change
the present standing of the army.
owe shall frame the army ap-
preparation bill along the usual lines
and wait developments before going
ahead with any new systems Mr..
Hay says.
