To the Sporting Editor Of the Eucnino Ledger:
Slr--I write You today regarding a matter
Of great importance to hunters in Pennsyl-

SENTIMENT TURNING
 TOWARD ADMINISTRATION

That the change in point of view of the nation since August 1, must be of advantage to the party in power is generally admitted. Lines of at tack on the administrations record, which has been carefully opened up, are now completely blocked. Certain liabilities of the President are now revealed as assets. A gibe at watch full waiting" today would be likely to make more Democratic votes than Republican or Progressive votes. All criticism of the foreign policy of the administration is suspended. MT. Roosevelt has publicly announced an abandonment of his assault on the President along that limo.
 The sufficient answer to criticism of the foreign policy of the United States Government is that the Unit. ed States is at peace with all the world. Americans prefer the answer of the "Inexperienced" Bryan to the Japanese ambassador. There can be no last word between friends to the experienced Von Bethmann-Holliweg s

PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON, who saved Alaska

it's depths, to viyify the idea of nation ality, and force conflicting aspirations into concentration and union.
 It is quite a perverted idea that the time devoted to military service deprives economic life of forces which could have been more appropriately and more profitably employed else. where. These forces are not with drawn from economic life, but are trained for economic life.
 We have fought in our last great wars for our national union and our position among the powers of Europe; we now must decide whether we wish to develop into and maintain a world empire, and procure for German spirit and German ideas that fit recognition which has been hitherto withheld from them.
 War is only a means of attaining political ends and of supporting moral strength.
 Tt was, in my opinion, the most serious mistake in German policy, that final settling of accounts with the French Republic was not effected at a time when the state of international affairs was favorable and success might confidentally have been expect ed. This policy somewhat resembles the supineness for which England has herself to blame, when she refused her assistance to the Southern States in the American war of secession, and thus allowed a power to arise in the form of the United States of North America, which already, although barely 50 years have elapsed, threat ems England's own position as world power.
 "The soul of our nation is not re- flected in that part of the press with it's continual dwelling on the neces- sity of upholding peace and it's denun- citation of any bold and comprehen- sive political measure as q policy of recklessness.
 Especially in state which is so wholly based on war as the German Empire the old manly principle of Keeping all our forces on the stretch must never be abandoned out of def erence to the effeminate philosophy of the day"
