These rules require, among other things,

TO PROPAGATE PARTRIDGE.
Movement in New Hampshire Along
Scientific Lines.

There is a movement on foot in New
Hampshire for the propagation Of the
partridge. 1t IS said that the scheme
is a genuine scientific effort which is
being carried on in other places. The
plan is to secure tracts of land and en-
circle them with wire fences to keep
out the enemies of the bird Consider
able enthusiasm has been aroused over
the project, and undoubtedly the ex-
pertinent will be made Some think
that quail could also be introduced into
the southern counties of the state, but
this seems doubtful to others. Often
flocks of quail have been noticed in
Hinsdale and Winchester during the
summer, but they have never been
known to survive q winter. The hunt
ers have contributed many thousands of
dollars to the state treasury, however,
and anything along the propagation
line will be received with entire salts

in the game laws this year There Is
no open season on grey squirrels, which
| by the way, are about as numerous as
/ for many years, and the nonresident

MINE, NOT TORPEDO.
Naval Officials Decide What Wrecked
the Hesperian.

WASHINGTON, Oct. +. - United
States naval officers assigned to ex-
anime pieces of metal said to have been
found aboard the Allan liner Hesperian
before she sank off the Irish coast, Sep
tember 4, are virtually convinced that
the vessel was wrecked by mine
Their findings viii be submitted to
Secretary Daniels this week.
While there has never been a formal
announcement on the subject, de-
spatches from London have credited the
British admiralty with the belief that
the Hesperian was torpedoed without
warning by a German submarine. The
captain of the vessel expressed this
opinion and submitted the metal frag
ments, which, he contended were pieces
of torpedo. Some of the pieces were
submitted to the naval attache at the
| American embassy at London, whC
! turned them over to ambassador Page
| to be forwarded to the state department
with the aGidavits of the officers anC
/ passengers.
Some time after the Hesperian wen
down the German government presented
through Embassador Gerard a memo
randum stating that none of its subma
rines were in the vicinityat the tim,
the vessel was wrecked and that con
Isequentlv a mine must have caused tht
explosion. This was in line with tn
view held at both the state and nav,
departments at Washington.

Latest German Note, Though
Not Wholly Satisfactory,
An Improvement
NOT SPECIFIC ON
ALL POINTS ATISSUE


Week With Count Won Bernstorf -
No Mention of Reparation for Ara
bic's Loss Said to Have Been Made.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. - Although
Germany 5 new note on the Arabic case
is not entirely satisfactory to the
United States the situation is not con-
sidered critical at this time This was
stated today on high official authority.
The view held by President Wilson
and state department officials on the
note handed to Secretary Lansing IN
New York Saturday by Count Won
Bernstorff is that it was not specific
enough on three points insisted upon By
the President. These are a disavowal
of the sinking, assurances that the act
would not be repeated and reparation.
Careful reading of note has convinced
administration officials that further ne
gotiations on the question are posi-
BILE and there is still reason to hope
that Germany will in the end accede
to the wishes of the United States. The
note will not be answered formally i'm
mediately, but Secretary Lansing at a
conference later this week with the
German ambassador will inform him of
the points the United States wants clear
ed up. After the conference the ambas-
sador is expected to communicate again
to his government the view of the
United States.
Germany, however, more nearly ap-
proaches the stand of the United
States than it did in the previous note
on the same question. 1t is understood
the note gives satisfactory assurance
that Americans travelling on unarmed
liners will not be endangered by sub
marines in the future, but satisfactory
terms in regard to reparation We're not
named.

In regard to the landing of French

premature it is none the less to aid and
