Omitted Press)

Constantinople, March 19.-The
French warship Bouvet has been
sunk by guns of the Turkish forts
while participating in the lombard
ment of Dardanelles, says dispatch
this afternoon. Turkish warships
have bombarded the Russian torpedo
boat base west of Theodosia, Crimea,
firing many buildings and damaging
Russian warcraft. This is the first
official confirmation of reports which
were circulated two weeks ago. The
Turkish fleet has Withdrawn from
the Dardanelles straits and is now
operating in the Black sea.
From the dispatches it is indicated
inside the straits. The allied fleet
opened up heavy fire upon the OAR
danelles forts, swinging into close
range and hurting shells at inter-
walls of less than minute. The
forts returned fire and shelled the
Anglo-French warships with great
effectiveness Several allied war;
ships withdrew from the engagement
badly damaged. Following the dis.
aster Of the Bouvet the attacking
ships ceased firing and steamed from
sight off Tenedos island.
Rumors have been circulated that
an attempt to force the Dardanellcs
will be abandoned. Only a part of
the Turkish fleet is participating in
the bombardment of the Russian tor
pedo fleet base. While the bonn
bardment lasted only few minutes
the Turkish fire was unusually we'll

growth Of our little cemetery beside

there were days before us in which

out of our lives in an instant and
never to think of him again or men
ton his name, how to wear his
clothes without remembering him.
Not Even Joke.

after when an automobile is sold, If
the license tag goes with the car the
purchaser must register with the Sec

This is to make it possible to trace
the ownership of car, which has
been difficult in the case of second
hand cars passing from one owner to
another.
Increased license fees provided by
the act do not go into effect until
Jan. l 1918. For the three years be-
ginning Jan. 1, 1915, the old fees
prevail, of $3.50 for each license,
no matter when it is taken out. They
will expire in 1913 and new licenses
in that year will cost IS, lasting
three years. Licenses issued in
1919 will cost $3.50, and in 1920,

will begin new period.

AVERY FAY0RS REFUGE
Executive Agent of Game Commission
Says Moose and Deer Will Be Ami
Inflated Unless Given Protection.
IS INTERESTED IN BELTRAM1

Beltrami county sportsmen have a
friend in Carlos Avery, executive
agent of the State Game and Fish
commission. Mr.. Avery considers
Beltrami county as one of the ma
TONS greatest game centers and he
is now interested in bills before the
legislature which if passed will be of
benefit here, as we'll as in other sec-
lions of the state. The most i'm
portant bills now before the legisla-
ture are a general license bill,
game refuge measure and an anti
alien hunting bill. The general Ii
cense bill is framed with a view 20
increasing the revenue of the depart
ment.

eve get only $4,000 a year, while
in some states they realize as much
as 100000 a year."
Refuge for Game.
The game refuge bill is, an. epab-
ling act which, if it becomes a law,
will permit the game and fish com
mission to establish, where it is be-
lieved necessary and feasible, tracts
where birds and animals may take
refuge and not be molested by hunt
ers
In this connection, Mr.. Avery
points out that it is a potent fact
that, unless some measures for the
protection of them are taken, moose
and certain game birds soon will be
annihilated. In fact, he declares,
that point has very nearly been
reached now The determination CT
deer is not far away, either, he says,
but the situation as to deer is not so
grave as in the case of moose and
birds. These places of refuge, Mr..
Avery believes, will prove effective
and will go long way toward pre-
venting the determination of game.
The refugees would be patrolled and

ably disposed toward the commits

were exhausted, but we are hopeful
of getting sufficient sum to carry
