and his SQUADRON were sent to the bot
tom in the Falkland Islands last De-
cember. The German ships which es-
capped took no chances on raiding the
West Indies.
While the defense Of the West Indian
group would be a heavy burden
against foe which was equally
matched with England on the seas,
there are nevertheless certain strategic
advantages in the control which Eng
land exercised in West Indian waters.
The naval station at Port Royal, oppo-
site Kingston, is one of these. So far
as known its chief utility since the
world war began has been as coaling
station, but while it is open to enemy
attack this would be most difficult
matter. Others of the islands also
have advantages in the way of coaling
and as rendezvous.
The United States never has worried

Trinidad is somewhat similar to Bar
hados. but is not so dependent on
sugar. There are the asphalt beds and
other resources to be exploited. while
the shipping at the Port of Spain gives
fairly regular employment to con-
siderable number. Nevertheless there
is floating population which may fur
nish recruits to go to, Flanders and
France.

grievance was that the natives who
were in many responsible positions got
no credit for their work, because the
white Englishmen took all the credit
to themselves.
There are possibly seven or eight
thousand whites in Jamaica and seven

At times uneasiness has been felt over

whites may growl. The lack of tact
which governors of Jamaica may show
was illustrated a few years ago in the
frigid thanks given the American navy
for its timely aid in distressing cir
cumstances.
When the war Is over and full in

structive to know just what part ia
maica took of her own accord in con-
tributing men to the defense of the

Trinidad and Barbados, according to
reports, are contributing as many VOL
unteer recruits as the British war Of
flee will take. Besides the feeling of
loyalty, there are other reasons for
this zeal.
Barbados has very congested pop
ulation, and it's agricultural industries,
including sugar, do not furnish suffi-
cient employment for them all. Many
thousands of these natives found work
on the Panama canal, and saved part
of their wages. for they were thrifty.
The completion of the canal made it
necessary for most of them to return
to the island.
The sugar plantations have been act
i've because of the demand for cane
sugar due to the interference with the
beet root production in central Europe

returned canal workers to find employ

Deputy Game Warden Reichmann
Warns Local Nimrods That Re

This Year.

Hunters Who 90 Into Field With
Only Receipt for Fee Paid,
Are Liable to Arrest
and Fines.

The hunting season opened yester.
day for Lee county nimrods. Deputy
game and fish warden. Henry r.
Reichman wishes to remind the hunt
ers that licenses are past due, now.
IL people intend TO hunt. and that It
will be necessary to hold hunting II.
censes and not receipts. Mt. Reichman
has orders from the state warden 20
recognize hunting licenses only. The
fact that man approached In the
woods and asked for his license, can
produce only a receipt. viii be
grounds for arrest.
Dates on receipts can easily be
changed. II il stated. as the reason
for this ruling The actual licenses
must therefore be shown. or tho
hunter will have to take the conse-
Quences. Lee county hunters who
are expecting to enjoy the sport this
fall would better make their applica.
tons at once for license and wait
until that important document Is re-
.ceived. rather than take chance on
the receipt for money paid.
Probably the most important change
that has taken place the past few
years in Iowa hunting circles. exclu-
sive OF the draining OF the sloughs. is
the advent of the automobile. II has
brought every likely game" spot up
to the back door OF the hunter;
there Is no longer any out-of-theway
hooks where few lucky ones can get
to without being disturbed by other
gunners. The auto has made their
existence common knowledge and it's
q wild chase now to get there first.
This pertains both to water. where the
wild fowl are found and the prairie
chicken ground where flocks are
known to be.
The scarcity Of water Is not so evi-
dent this season. there are lots Of lit
tie ponds; but the big old-fashioned.
rush-covered' slough is no longer COM
mon and the only big water left is
the lakes.
