 OF PRAIRIE DOGS

A party of ' men with 10 head of horses 2 wagons and a camping outfit was in Williams last Satur- day on the road to Anderson Mesa, 30 miles south east of Flagstaff, to poison paririe dogs This party consisting of D. A. Gilchridt, chief and Tom Wells, D.. D. Stonier, Dave Merwin, Frank Cain, G. E. Bristow and H. T. Irwin, has been sent into the field by tn Agricul- tural Department of the govern ment under the direct auspices of the bureau of biological surveys. For three and one half months they had been at work in the Prescott Forest Division extermin- ating prairie dogs over an area of about IS square miles. They ex. pect to cover a much larger area this time, working over a scope of country 8 miles by 60 miles.
 The dogs are poisoned by using oats saturated with a solution of strychnine.- This preparation ap- peals to the dogs and is sure death.
 While the particular mission of the party is to kill prairie dogs they do a little other killing on the side. Bob cats, badgers and coyotes are often met with and slain while the rattler is a not 1n- frequent victim of their destruc- tive propensity.
 The boys will remain in the field this year until Oct. 15. It will require another season, pro- bably, to exterminate the dogs over so large a field. The value of this work to cattle and sheep 3 men can not be estimated, but ii will be great. Paririe dogs ruir much good range by filling it with holes and covering it with mound
 and the grass consumed by the dogs is no small item.

While our differences with Greas
Britain cannot form a subject of dis
cussion with Germany. 1t should be
stated that in our dealings with Great
Britain we are acting. as we are UNI
questionably bound to act, in view Of
the explicit treaty engagements with
that government, We have treaty OBJ
legations as to the manner in which
matters in dispute between the two
governments are 10 be handled.
We offered TO assume mutually sim
liar obligations with Germany, but the
offer was declined when. however.
the subject in dispute is a continuing
menace to American lives it Is doubt
full whether such obligations apply un-
less the menace Is removed during the
tendency of the proceedings"
Notes Essential Features.
The essential features OF the note
cabled to Berlin today are:
First that the United States accepts
Germany's declaration of abandonment
ot-heE former submarine policy.
Second, that continuation of friendly
relations depends upon the scrupulous
observance of the now altered policy.
Third, that the United States refuses
to believe that the assurances made by
Germany were contingent upon the
success of the United States in obtain
ing concessions from the allies.
Fourth. that IL Germany intended its
concessions to be conditional. then tho
United States will iatly reject them.
The note is the shortest and sharp
est communication exchanged between
Berlin and Washington since the sub
marine debate began a year ago. IL
is void of all the diplomatic verbiaGe
and protestations of friendly feeling
that characterized former notes sent
by this government.
Intended to Force Showdown.
Administration officials made 1t plain
that the note was intended to forcs
quick showdown; to demonstrate
whether Germany had met in full tins
demands of the United States or
whether il had made only partial. con-
ditional concessions, reserving to IT.
self the right to Judge just how FAR
it should go in meeting the demands
of the United States.
There was some surprise in ofnctni.
diplomatic and congressional circle1
over the brusqueness OF the note. To
congressional leaders who have been
active in efforts to avert = break with
Germany the note came as shock.
Careful perusal of the note convincsx
ed them that II practically clcsee the
door to further discussion OF the s7o-
marine issue with Germany.
