Petrograd, via London, March 81
The success Of the Russian Black sea
maneuvers. in which the Russians
landed troops to the east Of Trebizond,
Is attracting great attention. - Z g.
This is not due solely to the Russian
strategy. which IS gradually expelling
the Turks from the coast towns on the
way to Trebizond, but because upon
the favorable conclusion Of these op-
erattons rests the possibility of the
continued advance Of the central Rus-
sian army toward Sivas The capture
OF Trebizond would enable the central
army to resume its western march. 'i

In this way the villages Of Atina
and Mapavra have boen taken and the
Russians are making steady progress
along the road to Riza, which is thirty
miles east. to Trebizond. z
Since the country along the shore,
with its mountain ridges Rising 5000
to 10000 feet. offers an insurmountable
barrier to frontal attack, the Russian
STAFF has decided to depend solely upon
a continuance Of coast nianeuvers to
drive the Turks from this region
The Turkish losses during the last

very severe. e

GAME HINTS TO HUNTERS.
With the Coming of Warm Weather
Ducks Will be Plentiful but
Hunters Should be Careful.

The flight of ducks to the north has
begun and it would be well for the
hunters to observe the law prohibiting
the spring shooting Of them. The fed
eral migratory bird law also prohibits
the spring shooting Of ducks, and all
violations of the Wisconsin laws are
reported by this department to the
federal authorities and the violators
apprehended will be prosecuted by the
federal authorities after paying the
penalty imposed by our state courts.
Hunters should also bear in mind
that the statute of limitations in these
cases gives two years after the viola
tions are committed to start action,
and violators can be brought into court
at any time should evidence be found
upon which to base the prosecution.
The law also provides that any per-
son making complaint and furnishing
evidence which leads to the conviction
of a violator is entitled to one-third of
the fine imposed It is not at all I'M
usual fo1 cases to be brought into
court long after the violations are com
mitted and it is indeed unsafe for any
hunter to feel secure from prosecution
even though he should escape immedi-
ate detection.
The conservation commission has
made several prosecutions during the
past six months where the offense was
committed several months before, and
in every case the violators were found
guilty and fined. We have several
cases al the present time under investi-
cation and no doubt prosecutions will
soon follow.
It is therefore advisable that all
hunters observe the law and avoid the
danger of prosecution.
