HOW LONG WILL THE WAR LAST

HOW LONG WILL THE WAR LAST?
E. H. Gary, chairman Of the Unit
ed States Steel corporations, has main
tanned right along that the European
war would end eighteen months from
the time 1t started. The chairman OF
the steel corporation has very good
sources Of information abroad and
keeps in close touch with foreign de.
velopments daily. Exhaustion OF
finances and credit, loss Of millions of
men and general industrial and COM
mercial decadence resulting from the
war, are among the reasons for Judge
Gary's forecast of an early conclusion
OF hostilities. At San Francisco Judge
Gary recently even said that he ex-
pected the war to terminate more sud
denly that many people believed.

THRIFT IS NEEDED.

A commission for the promotion of
thrift in the United States Is in ses-
sion on the Pacific coast at present.
Yesterday q speaker before this body
made the statement that only by
practicing great thrift can the Unit
ed States avert serious setback in
prosperity after the great war In
Europe is ended.
That is absolutely true. And 1t ap-
Dlies not only to the people of the
United States but to all people In the
world. The awful destruction of
wealth which Is taking place in
Europe is q lien upon the whole world,
q debt that all the people OF this
earth must unite In paying.
The destruction in Europe Is loss
to tho world more truly than If the
money represented were taken out
and dropped into the middle Of the
ocean. Furthermore, every bit Of the
destroyed property must be replaced
before the world will be as rich as it
WAS before or as able to produce
wealth AZ It was before. And without
the cities. Industries. homes and pri-
vate property of all sorts that has
been destroyed, Europe and the rest
Of the world cannot long maintain its
present standard of living and civili-
cation. Therefore, sooner or later,
everything lost must be replaced.
Ground that has already been covered
must be traversed again. It is like
climbing again the hill from which
civilization slid back. 1t is wasted
but necessary motion.
It will take years to replace the
money that the war has wasted or
caused to be wasted. The loss must
be replaced with as little slackening
of the march of progress as possible.
Therefore the world must accumu-
late excess wealth faster than 1t was
doing before the war. That can be
done IN only one way, considering the
fact that the means of making new
wealth has diminished.
People must scale down their living
1~>nAAas thu whale world must re-

NEW GAME LAWS.

sportsmen OF Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri, especially those living near
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers,
will flnd their hunting ground consid-
erably smaller this year as the result
Of law now effective which prevents
shooting Of migratory birds along the
big streams.
The market hunters who work for
the most part below Memphis, are not
greatly affected by the new law.
Iowa and Illinois are in zone No. l,
or the breeding zone. under this Unit
ed States enactment. while Missouri
Is in sone No. 2, the wintering zone.
In the breeding some the open sea
son for water fowl extends from Sep
TENDER 1 to December 16, with GER
tain exceptions of states where the
season is shorter. Iowa and Illinois
follow the general rule. For rails,
coots and gallinules the open season
is from September to December /.
For woodcock it is from October to
December /. Shore birds-black-
breasted and golden plover, jacksnipe,
and yellowlegs-may be legally shot
from September 1 to December 16.
On the upper Mississippi river,
however, along the eastern border OF
Iowa, % we'll as on the Missouri riv-
er. the shooting of any Of these birds
at any time IL now illegal. This does
not mean that migratory birds may
not be killed on the bayous connect
ing the large rivers, nor that there Is
any special restriction on the rivers
and small streams that empty into the
Mississippi and the Missouri. 1t
mercy indicates that the main course
OF both of these big streams consti-
tutes 4 legal refuge for these birds.
Another restriction imposed by feder-
nj law Is the one which forbids shoot
ing between sunset and sunrise.
rnsectivorous birds are protected In
definitely, throughout the breeding
zone. Band-tailed pigeons, cranes,
swans. curlcws. smaller shore birds
and wood ducks are protected until
September l, 1915. Woodcock are
Also protected in Illinois until 1918.
IN most of the wintering zone,
which includes Missouri, the water
fowl season for hunters lasts from
October I to January 16. Missouri
however. prescribes an open season
from September 10 to February /.
Rails, coots and gallinules are fair
game In Missouri from September IL
to January /. although the general
rule for the zone Is from September l
to December 1. Woodcock may legal
" be shot in Missouri from November
! to January I. Shore birds-black
breasted and golden plover. jacksnipe
and yellowlegs-are In season for
hunters from September to Decem-
Der 10.
In Missouri the law protects insec-
tivorous birds for an indefinite period.
Band-tailed pigeons, cranes, swans,
curley and smaller shore birds are
protected until September I. 1918.
Woodcock are protected until Sep
TENDER /, 1918.
Shooting is forbidden between sun
set and sunrise, and 1t is prohibited
at all times on the Mississippi river
shove Memphis.
