TO PROTECT OUR DEER

For, as | believe, an inexcusable
reason the coming hunting season is
open for the killing Of does. This fact
is revolving to all lovers of these noble
animals, especially since they are, as
rule upon the decrease, and should
lead them to do their utmost to infu-
ence so far as possible the posting of
lands against hunting during the COM
ing season.
Any landowner has the right to
post his land against any or all kinds
of hunting in case they are either cul-
tivated or enclosed. All mowings and
all pastures, used or unused, all wood
lands fenced out, are subject to this
protection. The owner, or occupant,
has only to put up two notices IL by
"a inches each Hunting Prohibited
upon these Premises" with his name
attached as owner or occupant, and no
person has the right to appear upon
that land with gun in his hand with
out the owners consent, unless he can
prove that it is not for the purpose Of
hunting; and there is heavy penalty
for defacing, or tearing down the
notice.
The words hunting prohibited upon
these premises" with the owners, or
occupants name attached may be
written upon a board with lumber
pencil and posted in conspicuous
place, or upon the side of a building,
and such notice is effective.
If you desire printed notices sent
you, will forward them to you free
by mail, postage prepaid, upon appli- i
cation. Six years ago when the hunt
ing of does was permitted, over six
thousand of these notices were applied
for in small lots and forwarded
Where land is posted the law fixes a
penalty Of ten dollars for hunting up
on it without the owners permission,
game is killed or not.
Our deer are among the best assets
IF the state. Where one is killed the
head must be exhibited to the warden
" to the town clerk. Let us point the
niger Of shame to any hunter who
brings in does head.

per time upon Bulgaria, with or with
out aid from Greece, which may de
clare war on Bulgaria alone, as its
traditional enemy and present menace
through the Bulgar ambition to regain
Macedonia from Serbia and Greece.
To prevent Roumania from leaning
too far toward the entente allies a
large Teutonic force is said to have
been concentrated on the northwest
boundary of Roumania, thus increas-
ing the spirit Of antagonism among
Roumanians aroused through Ger
many's promise to make Bulgaria the
dominating power in the whole Balkan
region.
Whatever Roumania's aim may be
in holding back in this Balkan crisis
the Roumanians are unquestionably
wise in demanding that the presence
in the Balkan region of half million
allied forces be assured before they
let loose their own dogs of war. The
experience of Serbia and earlier Of
Belgium does not conduce to a spirit
of venturesomeness on the part of
either Greece or Roumania.
The allies are manifestly now fore
ing Serbia to play the same role in
connection with the Kaiser's attempt
ed dash to Constantinople that the
Belgians were compelled to assume in
the drive at the very outset upon
Paris. 1t meant humiliation for little
Belgium, but the Belgian Notifications
blocked the Germans long enough to
enable the British and French to stop
the invading host before the French
capital could be reached.
The Serbians in turn are now hold
ing the Teutonic drive toward the
Turkish capital until the other allies
can assemble forces in the lower Bal
kans strong enough to block further
progress of the Teutonic forces in
that direction. 1t may mean the an
inhalation Of Serbia, but Serbia's ire
mendous sacrifice may save the day as
a whole in the south just as Belgium
saved it in the west.
If, as we suspect, Russia has
assembled a large army under Grand
Duke Nicholas to strike the Teutonic
expedition later on when it is weakest
and then make a dash for CONSTANT
nople, it is not improbable that such
may explain the persistent !
peace rumors circulated in connection
with reports Of critical internal condi- |
tons in Germany. Early develop |
ments will unquestionably disclose
which Of these various supositions is
Burlington Free Press.

slams will be fighting to the best pos
sible advantage The Russians vii
be near their bases of operations al
well as to Constantinople, while the
Teutons will be four hundred miles
from home.
The Danube river is an internation'
al stream, and the chances are that
the report of its closing to Russia by
Roumania is merely timesav put
out by the Roumanians to appease the
! Teutons. The announcement that
Russia is gathering large force on
the banks of that stream serves to
emphasize the part the Beautiful
Blue Danube" is playing in this war.
To the west the Germans and Aus
TRANS have taken advantage of this
mighty stream, which there separates
Serbia from Austria-Hungary, to
transport supplies TO the Bulgarians.
The greater part Of the boundry be-
tween Bulgaria and Roumania in turn
is the Danube, which then turns to the
north, cutting entirely through Rou-
mania and practically parallel to the
coast of the Black sea to the port of
REM, where it makes a sharp turn to
the east and becomes the dividing line
between the southwest point Of Russia
and the eastern projection of Rouma-
MIA to the Black sea. Roumania on
the map is shaped like a great seal
with its head in the air between south
ern provinces of Russia and Austria
on either side, with its fippers ex-
tending out TO the Black sea.
Several things are to be deduced
from any concentration of large Rus
sian forces at the port of REM, which
is seventy-fye miles from the mouth
of the Danube. Either Russia has
been encouraged to believe its forces
would be allowed to cross Roumania
from this point, which is nearer Bull
garian territory than any other Rus
sian possession, or that army is be-
ing concentrated with the idea of be-
ing in a position to ship forces quickly
down the Danube and round the
coast against Bulgaria The Danube
being the boundary between Russia
and Roumania for this short distance,
Russia manifestly would have as
much right to its use as Roumania,
even If it were not internationalized.
The location Of a large Russian
force in this extreme southwest port
indicates that after the Teutons have
Of Serbia and then Of the
French and British further west they
must count on meeting a third host
from Russia coming from the north
east. II indicates that the fate which |
is now being melted out TO Serbia with |
great forces advancing from three
sides, will later be visited at the pro-

RUSSIA'S MYSTERIOUS ARMY
AND BALKAN CAMPAIGN
RUTLAND, VT.


A number of mysteries are involved
in the present Balkan campaign. We
were told some time ago that large
Russian force had started for Bulgaria
for the purpose of attacking that
country and thus drawing part of the
Bulgarian force away from Serbia
Later we were told that the Russians
were concentrating large army at
REM, just across the Danube from
Roumania. Now we are informed that
Roumania is interning the Russians
sent against Bulgaria by way Of the
Danube, which it has closed against
the Russians. Next we are assured
that Roumania will follow the ex-
ample of Greece in remaining neutral,
although the allies were invited to
cross Grecian territory in order to re-
lieve Serbia, Manifestly, all these
statements do not harmonic.
Our own idea from the very outset
has been that Russia was playing a
far-reaching political game in connec-
ton with the war, and every develop
men has served to strengthen that
supposition. While Russia naturally
desires the defeat of Germany and
Austria, her chief anxiety is to pre-
serve the possibilities of Russian
Constantinople If possible, the Car
would like great Slav power in the
Balkans as a buwark Of Russian con-
troll Of the Ottoman capital. II
Russian army can gain control of Con-
stantinople at the last moment, after
the other allies have worn themselves
out, nobody can question the right Of
Russia to retain that goal in accord
ance with the promise Of England and
France that Russia should have Con-
stan,inople at tho end Of the war.
when the British and French set
out 10 force the Dardanelles, Russian
cooperation was not forthcoming ex-
eept indirectly in the forcing of the
fighting on the eastern front. Later
on the Grand Duke Nicholas was sent
TO carry on; an important mission in
the Caucasian region, but his opera
tons have been swallowed up in a vast
sea OF uncertainty.

toward constantinople has largely
spent its force in Serbia, and is later
taken in hand by the British and

GERMAN SAVINGS
 THRIVE IN SPITE
 OF WAR CONDITION

f Berlin, Feb. 25.-A report on the German savings banks shows that they have done satisfactory business since the war began. In the days around the end of July about $24,000, GOO more was withdrawn from them than was paid in; but in August the de- posits exceeded the withdrawals. In
 October, owing to the payment of subscriptions on the big national loan. the withdrawals again exceeded de- posits by some $90g 900, 900, but the reduction of deposits during the sec ond half of the year was altogether only about 23.OOO,000; and if the in terest credited to depositors at the end of the year be taken into account, their holdings for the half-year ac- tually increased by almost $50, ,00o. 900. For the entire year t1lei increase. was over &200,OOO,0o0 A considerable number of savings banks have already issued their annual reports for 1914, and not one of them shows reduc- ton in deposits. Since the beginning of the new year a considerable inn provement. in the business of the banks has been observed. From va rious parts of the country it is re- ported that deposits have been heavier than ever before. People are appa- rentIy laying by money to subscribe for the next big war loan, which will probably be brought out in about two
 months.

EXCISE COMMITTEE
 STARTS HEARINGS
Good Friday Closing and Screen Laws Make Much
 Debate

Hartford. Feb. 25.-The hearings before the excise committee yester- day disclosed efforts by the temper ance element to close Connecticut sa- looms on Good Friday, while the Ii- quor interests worked not only in op- position to that idea, but also urged that saloons be opened on Election days after the polls had been closed. The removal of screens from saloons was also advocated.
 The object of the .tscreen bffl,', as explained by H. H. Spooner is to allow people to see what is going on in the saloon during. business hours Massachusetts was cited as a state having a similar law in force. He thought it prevented 1oitering in sa- looms and that it was 8 business prop osition. MT. Spooner said all other business houses openly display their goods when on sale, therefore why not the saloonkeeper.
 Rev. John B. Better of this city also urged the removal of screens. Rev. pr. M. A. Sullivan of Hartford, expr essed himself in favor of the bill.
 Howard C.A Webb of New Haven speaking against the bill said that the sition made so by statute. He thought the morals Of the community would not be improved by the passage of the screen Law. He thought 1t really imputed crime to reputable saloons. He cited an Indiana law case to show that screens in saloons were necessary conveniences. MT. Webb thought that a man had the privilege of drinking in the privacy of a saloon doing a legitimate business.
 Frank E.. Quinn of New Haven, speaking from a Iiqilor dealer'ss stand point after years of experience, claim ed 1t would be a big financial hard ship on numerous saloon keepers without effecttng any real reform.
 Fred w. Orr of New Haven called the attention of the committee to the fact that the bM1 did not include clubs, and he wondered why club men should be favored over men who are willing to secure a drink in an order 1y cafe. He thought all drinkers
