The Hunter and the Wind.

In hunting against the wind in open
forests more game is passed than
many hunters would suppose. The an
imals see the man, note that he VIII
pass them and hide by getting as near
to the ground as possible. If they
scent him after he has passed they
evidently realize that the danger is
over, though some, mostly the younger.
inexperienced animals, then sneak off.
Where game is very wild it is often in
such localities as | have mentioned
only possible to approach them with
the wind by understanding the latter.
because a big game animal at rest de-
ponds on it's nose to save it from dan
ger in the direction from which the
wind comes and on its eyes to watch
the side from which it can get no 9th

GOLF CLUBS FAIL TO
RESPOND TO WATSON
Pleas for Consent to Put Them on
Tourney List Find Few
Willing.

NEW YORK, December robert C.
Watson. the retiring president of the
United States Golf Association, is sore
pressed because there is no wild scram-
BILE this year to hold the big tourna-
ments of his body, the national ANA
teur. the womens national and the open
tournaments. Clubs have volunteered
to hold each of the three, so they will
not be homeless. But a rule of the U.
S. G. A. requires the executive commit
tee to submit the names of three clubs
willing. and presumably anxious, to en-
terrain each of the three gatherings
The delegates to the annual meeting to
be held here early in January are sup
posed to select the winner then by
vote.
OF course, there are certain geo.
graphical considerations entering into
the competition. 1t is the turn of the
metropolitan district to have the open,
while the rotation usually followed
sends the amateur event to the west
Philadelphia, in all proba bility, will
get the women's affair.
Then, too, a majority of the many
hundreds of courses are considered not
Of championship caliber through lack
of either length or scientific trapping
These considerations red uced the field
very materially. and the courses con-

AID OF GERMANS URGED
Prisoners in Siberia Said to Be in
Great Distress.

An appeal for funds for German and
Austro- Hungarian war prisoners in
Siberia, who are said to be in great
suffering. has been forwarded to the
foreign Office at Vienna by the State
Department, at the requestf of the
Austro- Hungarian embassy here.
The dispatch, which came from the
Austro- Hungarian consul general in
Shanghai, told of the pitiful condition
of the Siberian captives and begged
that assistance be sent from America
for their relief. 1t also requested
authorization from Vienna for the use
of local funds, to be sent through China
into Russia fpr this purpose.
Thus far no official report had come
to the United States from Siberia as to
the conditions in the military deten-
ton camps. although American repre-
sentatives have inspected and reported
on conditions in England, France, Ger
many, Austria and Hungary.

were requested to become one of the
magic circle of three.

sequent shortage of funds may have
something to do with the few accept

of calling special meetings to consider
