Washington, May 15--.A State De-
partmcnt message received at 1901
a. m. today from Ambassador Gerard
at Berlin, said the latter had not re-
ceived President Wilson'S note to Ger

Inasmuch as. the communication
cleared from Rome at 3:45 p. m. Fri

London, May l5--The British press
generally regards it as foregone con-
clusion that Germany will refuse to
comply with President Wilson'S de-
mands that she abandon, or sub
stantially change, her methods Of
submarine warfare.
The London newspapers today take
the views that this does not neces-
sarily mean war between Germany
and the United States They were
almost unanimous, however. in de-
claring that Germany's refusal will
throw not only the moral support Of
the United States, but material aid
also to the side Of the allies. Gh.
provincial papers. as well as those
of London. commend the Presidents
note as remarkable appeal to the

DOES ARE SHOT BY HUNTERS
AND cARcAssEs LEFT TO ROT
IN WOODS.
BUCK LAW IS CONDEMNED
Hunters Returning From Woods Tell
of Slaughter of Does-Hard to
Distinguish Bucks From Does
at 800 Feet.

Superior.-That hunters are shoot
ing at deer without stopping to ascer-
tain the sex, and that large numbers
of does have been killed and the car
casses left in the woods to rot is the
assertion made by sportsmen return
ing from the wilds of Douglas county
W. B. Banks, Jr., who was hunting
in the vicinity of Patzau, reported
seeing the carcasses of six does lying
in the woods where he was hunting.
The carcasses were those of deer kill
ed since the hunting season opened,
it was judged from their condition.
Other hunters report similar con-
ditions. Apparently the hunters
shoot on sight and investigate after
ward.
eft is fool law" said H. B. Evans,
commenting on the zone buck" sta
tute passed by the last legislature.
"More does will be killed this year
than ever and the carcasses will be
left in the woods to rot. When a
deer is 800 feet away it is almost i'm
possible for hunter to tell whether
it is buck or doe. When there
is brush around it is hard to tell the
sex when they are even closer than
that"
A. L. Gilmore also doubted the wis
dom of the law. Hunters coming
back from the woods tell of seeing
numerous carcasses of does left there
to rot by hunters who killed them be-
fore they ascertained whether or not
the animals were bucks" said he.
"The law was probably well meant,
but in practice it is apparently failing
to accomplish the thing for which it
was Misunderstanding the slaugh-
ter of does"
