Changes in the English Cabinet
during the week indicate that
Lord Kitchner is TO be relieved Of
some of the important duties OF
his Office as War Minister, possibly
with the object of making il pos
sible for him to take the field in
person. He is more familiar with
conditions in the east, where the
war is shifting at present, than any
other man, and most of the service
which has given him his great re-

Leading men in Poland are be-
ginning to speculate in regard to the
future of that country. AS is
natural they are not agreed. Some
believe that Poland would be better
or under the more efficient govern
ment of Germany. Others believe
that they would fare better if in
corporated as part of the Austrian
Empire where there would be- de-
gree of independence. Others
would rather remain under the con-
troll of Russia where they think
they could be more self-governing
than they have been before. A few
Of the leading men still hope that
out of the sad experiences through
which the country is passing it
may be finally restored to its old
time independence as separate
nation.

SOMETHING RUTH
LAW MISSED
Ducks Can be Shot From Aeroplane
Assistant Attorney General
Of Iowa Finds.

Is it legal to hunt ducks in an
aeroplane in Iowa? Henry e. Samp-
son, assistant attorney general. says
that he finds nothing in the Iowa
law to prohibit aviators, while In
machines, from shooting game.
Duck hunting in aeroplane may
never become very popular in Iowa,
but it has been taken up in number
of other states. Aviators say that it
provides good sport, as the element
Of chase is involved The aviator
must outmaneuver the birds in their
flight before he can get shot at
them. Securing the ducks after they
have been shot presents another prob.
lem for the hunter-aviator.
Since July the date on which all
old hunters licenses expired in Iowa,
there have been 1885 new hunters
licenses issued in this state accord
ing to the report OF the county audi.
tors to the treasurer OF state.
This is about one-third Of the
number of hunters who were licensed
to hunt last year. AS each hunte-
contributes 500 to the fish and game
fund when he secures his license, the
fish and game fund is generally well
filled.
The law permits the shooting OF
ducks after September 1, and quail
may be hunted after November I
Beaver, mink, otter and muskrat are
prohibited until December 1.
