HUNTERS AFFECTED
BY CHANGES IN LAW
State Licenses Must Be Secured by All
Before Shooting Any Kind Of Game
in Minnesota Daily Bag Limit.
BIRD SEASON BEGINS SEPT.
New Liquidation Passed With View Of
Making Department of Game and
Fish self-supporting.

Northern Minnesota is considered
one of the greatest hunting regions
in the United States and although it
is a trifle early to discuss shooting
plans, Carlos Avery, state game and
fish commissioner, and Sherm Bailey,
the zBemidji warden, have begun q
campaign to acquaint sportsmen CT
this territory with changes in the
hunting laws. In bulletin issued
by the department attention is called
to changes as made by the last legis-
lature.
Licenses Required of All.
Heretofore the hunting license law
has required all residents of the state
hunting big game to hold license,
but has permitted persons hunting
small game in the county in which
they reside to do so without IL
cense. This was amended so that
all residents are required to have a
license for small game except of per-
sons hunting on land on which they
reside. This privilege is also ex-
tended to lessees as we'll as owners
of land and to members of their i'm
mediate families. This act is con-
sidered the most important law eff
fecting preservation of game passed
at the session, and will greatly in
crease the revenues of the states and
go a long way toward making the de-
partment of game and fish self-sup-
porting.
The limits of bag for game birds
in Minnesota has long been re-
proach to the state and this was
remedied to a large extent by the
passage of a law limiting the daily
bag of game birds to ten and the
number allowed in possession to thir-
ty. This applies to all game birds
except wild ducks, of which fifteen
may be taken in a day and forty-fve
be had in possession. This act also
closes shooting entirely on wood
duck, -woodcock, turtle doves and up=
land and golden plover until Septem-
Der z, 1918.
Regulates Duck Shooting.
The well-kown fact, recognized by
all experienced duck shooters, that
the secret of good duck shooting dur
ing the whole season of migration is
in not molesting the ducks on their
feeding grounds. An act was passed
which takes this fact into considera-
ton and makes it unlawful to pursue
or shoot wild ducks on the open wa
ter of any lake and limits the build
ing of blinds to the natural growth
of vegetation. This act also makes
it unlawful to hunt or shoot ducks
from a motorboat or any other way
than with oars, paddle or pole held
in hands.

We hate war and did not enter
upon this war light heartedly. We
knew that Germany and Austria pos
sessed an immense military power
accumulated through years Of pre-
paration and that the war had been
forced on Europe at a moment DELHI
erately chosen by the Central Powers
as the most favorable to themselves.
We knew that the war must be a
terrible one and a long one. But the
path of duty seemed quite plain to
us. We perceived that the German
government had dishonored the faith
of Germany and attacked the coun-
try it had promised to defend in pur-
suance of a deliberate policy, which,
if successful, involved the ruin alike
of Belgium and of France and of the
British Empire. +
The German government proposes
to itself. to establish peace in the
world by the dominant power of Ger
many. The German army and navy
is to- act as the worlds police and
to enforce on other nations a rule CT
conduct prescribed for them by the
German government. Any nation,
great or small, which stands in the
way of the success of this policy is to
be ground into the dust.
We are fighting, therefore, not only
for our existence as a great power
but also for our national ideals,
since this conception of world policy
is incompatible with our idea of the
liberty of nations or of individual
men. It involves, moreover, as we
have seen repeatedly in the last
twelve months, the action of Ger
many as non-moral state, whereas
we believe that there is no hope for
the progress Of the world towards
peace unless the nations are prepared
to accept the Christian code of the
duties of trustees as that on which
they should endeavor to act in their
relations with one another.
Any boasting would be as silly as
profane if breathed in connection
with such struggle. It is enough
to say that the British people have
never had and have not shadow
of doubt that their duty is to fight
out these issues to the end, and that
they have supreme confidence in their
allies and in themselves.

DELAY OF WARSAW
FALL IS EXPLAINED
German General Staff A 's to Cap
ture Russian Field Arm. g Gould
Have Won Capitol Bet> "
INCIDENT IN POLISH OPERATl>
Slavs Now Endeavoring to Keep Brest
Litovsk Line Intact-Is Central
Munitions Station.
BY J. w. #. MASON.

New York, Aug. 4.-The delay in
the fall of Warsaw is due to the far
wider ambition of capturing the Rus
sian field armies, which is the DON'T
nant objective of the German general
staff. If Warsaw's occupation were
the sole consideration Of the Ger
mans, or even if it were one of sew
eral principal detectives, the Polish
capital would now be in possession Of
the kaiser.
The actual entrance Of the Teutons
into Warsaw, while marking one Of
the most triumphal offensive cam
paigns in all history, will yet, in
itself, be but an incident of the Pol
ish operations. The capture of CAPT.
tails has an immense moral effect in
warfare, but the capture of armies
bring wars to a far quicker end.
The Germans, therefore, are not vast
ing their strength by concentrating
against Warsaw and permitting the
Russian army to move off at will to
prepare new defenses farther to the
rear.
Allowed No Time.
The Germans undoubtedly are
planning to press hard continuously
against the Russians, and not to
abandon their offensive after the
Grand Duke Nicholas has retired to
his reserve positions organized about
Brest Litovsk. 1t is very important
for the main German objective
against Russian that the Slavs be
allowed no time to recuperate when
they have fallen back from the Wis.,
tula line. Therefore, the German
general staff must be far more con-
cerned with placing the forces adj
vantageously for following up the
Vistula victory than it is with actual
ly gaining that victory.
Appreciate Fact.
II The Russians show they appreciate
this fact by the appeal they are max
ing to France and Great Britain to
develop offensive in the west to dis
tract the Germans 1t is not that
the Russian general staff hopes thus
to save Warsaw at the last moment.
Rather, the Russians must now be
concentrating their attention on how
they are going to keep their Brest
Litovsk line intact.
Brest Litovsk is the central NUM-
lions station for all Poland It's loss
would be a calamity to the Russians,
more severely felt from military
standpoint even that the loss of War
saw. The Brest Litovsk line is not
as strong as the Vistula defenses.
If the Germans can capture the latter,
the former should not present i'll
superable obstacles. In fact the
present struggle perhaps may be
more properly described as the cam
paign for Brest Litovsk, rather than
the campaign for Warsaw.

Water and Pure Water,

Pure water Is nothing more or less
than Il chemical curiosity. Even when
distilled it cannot rightly be considered
perfectly pure. Mineral matter is the
most common foreign substance found
in Adam ale" This is largely ow-
ing to the fact that all water passes
through ro~!z and soil at some time or
other In moderate quantities these
mineral salts are quite desirable. as
they are particularly needed for our
bones and muscles. When water is dis.
titled these mineral substances become
detached: hence distilled water is use
less for drinking. But if more than a
hundred grains of such salts as masne-
SUM or sodium suiDnate are contained
in Il gallon OF water it should then be
regarded as Il mineral beverage rather
than Il good drinking material. The
Importance Of water can be we'll real
lied when We consider that the very
elasticity of our muscles. cartilages
and tenaons is due to the amount of
water that these tissues contain. Pear.

HOW SAVINGS GROW.
Ben Franklin's Proof That money 10
Of Prolific Nature"


After publishing his Poor Richards
Almanac" for twenty-five years and
giving thirty-two years more as thrift
teacher Of his country Benjamin Frank
lin put into his will u provision to DEM
onstrate the power of accumulated saw
ings.
To the cities Of Boston and Philadel.
phia he left $1,000 each. The money
was to be put out at interest and al.
lowed to accumulate for a hundred
Years. At the end Of that time, be fig
ured. each city ought to have $3.50. 900.
He directed that at the end of the hun
dred years 100000 should be invested
by each city lin public works which
may be of most general utility to the
inhabitants" The rest should then be
put at interest for another hundred
years. when the accumulation should
be divided. one-quarter to the city and
thrae-quarters 10 the state.
When the first hundred years were
past Boston found that she had $G63.
b23 to her credit from the Franklin
fund. Taking $5C0.000. Boston estab-
lished Il training school for mechanics
The remaining $163.923 was put out at
interest again.
Philadelphia's experience with the
original fund of 5000 was about the
same as Bostons.
Now Franklin figured that at the
end Of the second hundred years. when
the fund is to be distributed. each fund
ought to amount to about 10000. 600
But Boston's fund at the end of the
first hundred years exceeded Frank
Inns estimate by S13.923. So here's a
problem:
If Boston handles the fund as sue
cessfully in the second hundred years
as she did In the first how much in ex-
cess of $2O.O0O.OOO will 1t be?
Franklins demonstration was i'm
pressive; $1,000 will go into SG63. 923
how many times? Nearly 1873 times.
Wasn't he amply justified when he
said. Money is of prolific nature"
