URGE CONSERVATION or GAME
0isappe airing Before 100000
Hunters.

Artificial propagation as means Of
guarding against the extinction of
American game and the need of fur
ther protective legislation were dis
cussed at the first national conference
on American game breeding and pre-.
serving at the Waldorf-Astoria, the
New York Times states. Many i'm.
portant facts and statistics were pro.
duced to show the Importance of re.
newing the supply of birds and other
forms Of wild life that fall prey to
100000 game hunters in this coun
try.
In the last five years, 1t was stated,
the conservation commissioners OF
New York distributed $4,000 eggs and
10000 pheasants to raisers OF game.
These were given free from the state
farm at Shelburne. south of Utica
More than 100000 hunting licenses
were issued in the state, netting an
income of $26O,OOO These hunters
killed about $1,000 deer, but accord.
Ing to H. T. Rogers, superintendent OF
the state farm, there are at present
more than 10000 deer in the state, the
largest number on record.
It was also shown that 100000 shot.
guns and rifles were sold and 1,O0O,.
100000 cartridges used in the coun.
try. This number is exclusive Of the
muzzle-loading guns, which, it is es.
timated, would add 250,000,O00
charges. Throughout the United
States 100000 hunters licenses were
issued last year, while the department
of agriculture estimates that 100000
men shoot game. To accommodate
this immense army of hunters farms
are being established to replenish the
stock Of pheasants, cartridges, ducks,
deer and other native game.

MUCH ;. DISPLEASURE SHOWN
OVER SEIZURE OF MEAT
Washington, Sept. 17.-Extreme
displeasure over British prize court
decision conf1scating $15,000,000
worth of American meats pervaded
administration circles today. Wheth-
er sharp protest will be made by state
department depends upon injured
American shippers.
That the decision increases strain

American commerce was admitted by
high officials.

Appeal to Great Britain's privy
council from decision of admiralty
prize court which has ordered seized
over 100000 worth of meat car
goes will be followed by insistence
that state department protest action
on ground that it is violation Of in
ternational law and blow to freedom
of the seas as contended by President
Wilson. These were two steps de-
cided on today by Chicago packers
who were hardest hit in.ship seizure
cases.
Packing house officials today were
admittedly pessimistic regarding out
come of their appeal to privy council
They pointed out that seldom does
the higher court reverse a judgment
of a prize court. 1t made them de-
termined therefore to fight the case
out through diplomatic channels.

TO CLEAN FAMILY SILvERwARE

Get zinc pan. Place a wire mat
on the bottom to prevent the silver
from resting on the bottom of the
pan. Fill the pan with water and
add a teaspoonfrl of soda and table
spoonful of salt to each quart Of wa
ter. Allow the silver to soak in this
mixture five minutes. Take out the
silver and wash and dry it.
In case you cannot get a zinc pan,
ar ordinary dish pan may be used.
Place two strips Of zinc on opposite
SIDES of the pan. If you cannot get
ri" strips use two rows of mason jar
lids Pour in the mixture of salt,
g. p and water and then place the
silver in the pan, being careful to
place the silver so that one end rests
on one zinc strip and the other on
the second zinc strip. After the sill
yer has been in the water five min
utes, it should be taken out, washed,
and dried. The secret of this way of
cleaning is that the salt, soda, and
zinc form a weak battery and cleo
tricity does the rest.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
N. 4. METAL MARK Ell

COPPER.-Business has been rela-
lively light. Some extraordinarily
large orders were in negotiation dur
ing last week but have not yet been
concluded. Questions of capacity en-
ter largely INTO the considerations.
Some Of these pending contracts pro-
VIDE for deliveries as far ahead as
1917. This does not mean necessarily
that it is regarded that the war will
last so long but simply tina. iii ar
ranging io1 copper sapi.es il as DOOM
that may be required, it being certain
that the copper will be wanted after
the war anyhow. Exports continue
to go to Great Britain, Sweden, Can
ada, Italy and France.
LEAD-InquIries for military pur-
poses are exciting some interest but
the supply Of lead appears To be am
pie ana, in the latter part of the week
the market exhibited rather softer
tone.
SPELTER-During the last week
there was an advance on moderate
business few thousand tons and the
situation appears TO be tied up tight
CT than ever. 1he sales for the last
week were chiefly for domestic ac-
count. The present production OF zinc
is at the rate OF $4,000 tons per an
mum. There are 10 stocks OF spelter
at the Kansas and Oklahoma works.
SILVER--Ihe market has been
steady but with small fluctuations.
Recent purchases have been by the In
dian Bazaars, which have awaitej
the action Of the English government
on the wheat export situation. This
action the Bazaars considered favor
able hence the silver purchases.

TURKISH CIGARETTES ARE
NOW TABOOED IN ENGLAND

LONDON, May 11.-(By Mail to
New York. )-Since Turkeys entrance
into the war, Turkish cigarettes are
tabooed in England.
King George, who rarely smokes
cigars, used to smoke Turkish Gig
arettes with relish. Now, it is learn
ed he has taken to Egyptian blends.
The Prince of Wales, whose short
gold tipped Turkish cigarettes were
well known to fellow army officers
at the beginning of the war, now
finds consolation in a favorite briar
pipe, in which he smokes blend of
Egyptian and Virginia tobacco. He
does not prefer the Turkish. He still
smokes cigarettes occasionally, how
ever. They are especially made and
are a scant two inches long. This
is because the prince so often finds
himself in situations in which smok-
ing is not correct that half the Gig
arettes he smokes are barely lighted
and thrown away.
London tobacco dealers are author
ity for the statement that Turkish
tobacco has practically disappeared
from the British market since Tur-
key declared hostilities, and in many
shops they are not now offered for
sale.
The British smoking public is fol-
lowing the king and prince. There IS
no sympathy for Turkish tobacco.

DIFFERENCES IN TRAVEL
BY THE PANAMA CANAL

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 49,
From Colon, at the Atlantic end Of
the Panama canal, to Balboa, at the
Pacific end, the distance by canal, is
not quite "a miles From Colon to
Balboa by the open ocean, the short
est way is 10,500 knots.
The difference is what a vessel
saves by using the canal, according to
figures given out by the commerce de-
partment today. From New York to
San Francisco the canal reduces the
water distance by three-fifths. San
Francisco and Liverpool are nearer
by two-fifths.
Travellers from San Francisco to
Buenos Ayres will still go, however,

ter route being due to the big hump
it is necessary to circumnavigate on
the South American east coast sail
ing to the southwark.
From San Francisco to Rio de Jane
iro, however, there is little advan-
tage in going by canal and from the
California port to the more northerly
of the South American east coast
cities, this advantage to gain over
the strait is still greater, up to the
point where it represents nearly the
entire run around the continent.
New York is nearer to Valparaiso
'Sy- by virtue of the canal, to
Iquique by ABB and to Guayquil by
7,405. By Panama New York is 3,76s
miles nearer to Yokohama than by
Suez, Al neafer to Manila and 1882
nearer Sydney. From New York to
Hongkong it is 1S miles shorter, how

THE GREAT BEAR SOLDERING.

Russia teaching the world lesson
in sobriety is a spectacle which few
people would have anticipated but a
very short time ago. Light in the
darkest places is always a matter for
congratulation and civilization will re-
joice over any good testimony which
even Russia is able to bring.
This change for the better is the
result of the Russian edict against the
sale of Vodka. The outbreak of the
war showed Russia the necessity not
only of sober militia but Of a sober
people at home. Now comes Consul
General John II. Snodgrass at Mos
COW and tells of how savings depos-
its have alreday shown remarkable
increase. The Moscow manufacturing
plants, long handicapped by labor
which persisted in protracted Sun
day drunk, are now able to open in
regular time on Monday morning.
The statistics showing the amount
of vodka consumed before and after
the anti-vodka edict are impressive.
For example, in August. 1918, the
people Of Moscow consumed 667, 900
gallons Of vodka; in August, 1914,
$4,000 gallons; September. 1913, 759,.

However, it was agreed if the de-
