FAKE CLAIMS FOR
BOUNTIES HALTED

AS a result of an opinion issued yes

dexter, halt will be called upon the
issuance by sheriffs in the northwest
ern part of Montana of bounty certifi-
Gates for the slaughter of predatory
animals known in that section of the
state as brush wolves"
The opinion given out yesterday is
the second chapter of one issued sew
eral months ago by D. M. Kelly, which
went into the question of when is a
wolf pup not wolf pup" Mr.. Kelly's
opinion described wolf, and the doc
ument given out yesterday by Attorney
General Poindexter holds that brush
wolf" belongs to the coyote species.
Large Number Issued.
Large numbers of these certificates
have been issued by sheriffs in coun-
ties in that section, which would have
cost the state a considerable sum of
money II the animals had been held
to be wolves. Wolf scalps are worth
SIS per, while coyote scalps bring
only SO.
The opinion declares that the so
called brush wolf" does not measure
up to the specifications given by the
authorities cited in the opinion Of Mr..
Kelly, "and the term brush wolf
is a misnomer or provincialism prob
ably invented for the purpose of col
lecting bounty as for the real wolf
mentioned in the bounty laws
The opinion was issued at the re-
quest of D. W. Raymond, secretary of
the state board of stock commissioners,
and concludes: "You are, therefore, ad-
vised that the state is not liable for
the payment of any bounty claims upon
the certificates issued for the killing
of such animals unless they are class
flied as coyotes, for which bounty
of So is allowed. Helena Independ-

GLAD NATION HAS AT ITS HEAD
MAN LIKE PRESIDENT WILSON

Richmond, Va, June General
Bennett H. Young Of Louisville, KY,
was reelected commander-in-chief of
the United States Confederate Veter-
ans today at the annual reunion here.
birmingham, Ala, was selected as the
1916 reunion city.
General Young's opponent was Cen
eral Felix H. Anderson of Crawford,
Tex. General Young was unable to at
tend the reunion because of illness.
The delegates sent him message of
sympathy.
A feature of the days ceremonies
was the adoption of resolution by
the veterans which read in part:
"As soldiers who know only too well
the horrors of war, and as citizens Of
reunited country, we are glad at
heart that we have at Washington a
president who, strictly neutral between
warning nations, will, with wisdom and
courage, stand for all regard and re-
spect for the honor of the American
flag and proper observation of the
full rights of the humblest American
citizens"
The reading of the resolution was
received with tumultous applause by
veterans who again cheered the name
of the president when Congressman
Heflin of Alabama declared that the
defenders of the south had been
spared to see man born in the south
land, the son of Confederate soldier,
the president of the United States
w. N. Brandon of Little Rock, Ark,
was elected commander-in-chief of the
United Sons of Confederate Veterans.

his fingers. Meanwhile, like the young

suppose that if I were really pol
litic and far-sighted, l would cud'
die up to the War Office and make
myself solid with the General Staff by
confidently asserting that the British
army is the most efficient killing ma.
chine in existence and that it's com
plete and early triumph is as certain
as that sparks fly upwards. Neither
of these assertions would be true,
however, though in saying this I am
perfectly aware that l am inviting the
blue pencil of censors.
1t should be borne in mind, how.
ever, that the British did not begin
the building of their war machine
until about nine months ago, while
the German organization is the result
of upward of half century of un-
ceasing thought, experiment and en-
deavor. But what the British have
accomplished in those nine months is
one of the marvels of military history.
Nearly Equal to Germans.
The machine that they have knocked
together, though still trifle wabbly
and somewhat creaky in its joints,
is, l am convinced, eventually going
to do the business. 1t struck me as
having all, or nearly all, of the merits
of the German organization, with the
human element added.
You can't really appreciate what
this British war machine is like or
what it is accomplishing by reading
about it. You have to see it for your
self, as l did. And it is by no means
easy to see, either, for along the
thirty-odd miles of battle front held
by the British, war correspondents
are about as welcome as the smallpox
For miles and miles roads are lined
with huge English lorries, in their
war coat of elephant gray, with con-
verted London buses and with am

if there are any automobiles left in
England.
Traffic Police On Duty.
So crowded are the highways be-
hind the British front that at the
street corners in the towns and at the
in the country are posted
police, with scarlet
flags, who control the traffic, just as
do the policemen in Fifth Avenue and
The roads are never per-
mitted to fall into disrepair. Road

limit signs posted everywhere, herto-

enough to get run over was liable to
arrest for obstructing the traffic.

British Headquarters in France,
May 1S.-Along a road in the out
skirts of that French town which is
the British headquarters young
man was running He was of con-
siderably less than medium height
and fair haired and very slender. One
would have described him as a nice.
looking boy. He wore a jersey and
white running shorts, which left his
knees bare, and he was bareheaded.
Shoulders back and chest we'll out, he
logged along at the steady dogtrot
adopted by athletes and prize fighters
who O ro in fro ininC
No one challenged the young man
in the running shorts, or demanded to
see his papers. Instead, whenever a
soldier caught sight of him that sold
ier clicked his heels together and stood
rigidly at attention. After you had
observed the curious effect which the
appearance of this young man pro-
duced on the military of all ranks it
suddenly struck you that his face
was strangely familiar. Then you re-
membered that you had seen it hun
dreds of times in the magazines and
the illustrated papers. Under it was
the caption: "His Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales"
That young man will, some day, if
he lives, sit in an ancient chair in
Westminster Abbey and the Arch
bishop of Canterbury will place
crown upon his head and his picture
will appear on coins and postage
stamps in use over half the globe.
Now, the future King of England is
not getting up at daybreak on these
chilly spring mornings and reeling
off half a dozen miles or so because
he particularly enjoys it. He is doing
it for precisely the same reason that
the prize fighter does it-he is train
ing for battle.
To me, there was something won
derfully suggestive and characteristic
in the sight of that young man plug
ging doggedly along country road.
He seemed to epitomize the spirit
which found to exist along the
whole length of the British battle
line. Every British soldier in France
has come to realize that he is en-
gagged in a struggle without parallel
in history, struggle in which he is
confronted by formidable, ferocious
and resourceful opponent, and from
which he is by no means certain to
emerge victor; and he is therefore
methodically and systematically pre-
pairing to win that struggle, just as a
pugilist prepares himself for a bat
tie in the prize ring.
Every British soldier in France has !
come to a realization of the terrible
gravity of the situation that faces
him. You don't hear him singing
"Tipperary" any more, or boasting
about what he is going to- do when
he gets to Berlin. He has come to
have a most profound respect for the

with conditions of all the properties
which are under their control and

All attempts to get an expression

corporation is engaged in negotiations
for additional producing properties at
Gushing or in that vicinity, but this

are contemplated improvements that
mean the construction of a wax plant
