SONG BIRD SLAYERS
FACE PROSECUTION
Police and Federal Agents to Conduct
Crusade in Detroit Vicinity.
From the Detroit News

FROM Cne DeCrOlI NEWS.
Song birds that summer in Detroit
and vicinity are to be protected by
the police, federal Audubon agents
and Arthur Curtis, state agent and
representative of the Animal Welfare
Association. A fine of 500 or 80
days Imprisonment is prescribed by
the United States game laws for the
destruction of migratory game birds.
The following birds fall under the
protection of the statutes: Cat bird,
song sparrow, crow black birds, red
wing black birds, blue jays, brown
thrush, brown thrasher, hermit thrush,
stone thrush, blue bird, wren, meadow
lark, woodpecker, swallow, martin,
mocking bird, red bird, mourning
dove, American goldfnch, bobolink,
Baltimore oriole, orchard oriole, Cali
fornia red-headed linnet, California
brown linnet and other migratory and
insectivorous birds.
"Song birds have been ruthlessly
slaughtered by mischievous and ignor-
ant persons in past summers" said
Mr.. Curtis. "This year we intend to
exert every means to prosecute Of
tenders, likewise all dealers who have
in their possession birds that are pro-
tected by the game law. We intend to
make canvass of all the bird dealers
in the state with this purpose in view.
The federal laws especially protect
all wild geese, wild swan, brant, wild
ducks, snipe, plover, woodcock, rail,
wild pigeon and all other migratory
game and insectivorous birds, and in
stead of prosecuting offenders who
destroy such feathered life in the
police and state courts we will take
the offenders before the United States
court"
All Detroit patrolmen have been in
structed to watch out for the destruc-
ton of song birds, and the police de-
partment proposes to prosecute all
violations of the game statutes. 1t is
probable that Supt. Marquardt may
detail officers to watch for violations.

That point has now unhappily been
reached. The facts are susceptible OF
but one Interpretation: The imperial
German government has not been able
to put any limits or restraints upon
it's warfare against either freight or
passenger ships. 1t has therefore be-
come painfully evident that the posi-.
ton which this government took at
the very outset Is overwhelmingly
that the use Of submarines for the de-
struction Of an enemy's commerce
Is of necessity, because of tn.
very character of the vessels en-
ployed and the very methods of at
tack which their employment OF
course involves, incompatible with the
principles of humanity, the long es-
tablished and incontrovertible rights
of neutrals and the sacred immunities

of the United States is at last forced
to the conclusion that here Is but one
course 1t can pursue, and that unless

effect an abandonment Of it's present

eminent can have no choice but to
sever diplomatic relations with the
government of the German empire al.

This decision have arrived at with
the keenest regret; the possibility OF
the action contemplated I am sure
all thoughtful Americans will look
forward to with unaffected reluctance.
But we cannot forget that we are IN

the rights of humanity, and that we
cannot remain silent while those
rights seem in process of being swept
utterly away In the maelstrom of this

The admiralty statement does not give
the name of the "home port" which holds

to sweep allied commerce from the sea,
despite the British admiralty.
Four British officers and 20 British
marines and sailors were among the pris-
oners, who were mostly the crews of the
prize steamers. These were the Moewe's

Some Are Inclined to See a
Ruse in the Berlin
Statement

London, March 7.-While dispatches
from Berlin say the commerce raider
Moewe will be retitted and provsioned
and sent out TO sea again with her in
trepid crew within few weeks, several
of the London newspapers express doubt
that the Moewe has returned TO Ger
man port. The seeptical incline to the
opinion that the German authorities have
put out the story for the purpose of
throwing the British patrols off guard.
The naval expert of The Times, how
ever, commenting on the report from
Amsterdam that the sea rover has put
into Wilhemshaven, holds it to be likely
that she really has eluded the blockading
fleet. He declares:
"The possibility of an enterprising
captain breaking the blockade inward az
well as outward has been demonstrated
frequently The captain of the Moewe
certainly carried out desperate adyen-
ture with skill and courage"
The Berlin adyices say the Moewe will
first be drydoeked then her hull will be
scraped and the ship thoroughly over
hauled. In the official statement the
name of the Moewes present port is kept
secret.
According to the announcement the
Moewe brought home 100000 marks
(s250,000j in gold bars and 1919 prisoners
taken from Is ships, all British except a
Frenchman and Belgian. The mer
chant ships captured represented an ag-
gregate tonnage of about 10000.

Republican Leader Mann Assails Ameri-

Washington, March THE House re-
sounded with cheers late yesterday when
Republican Leader Mann took the floor
and assailed Americans who might in

armed ships. Il hope our citizens never
will be put to the test of having to fight
because some fool has involved us by

"The gentleman from Massachusetts,,
Mr.. Gardner" said Mr.. Mann, "has
charged that the membership of the
House in this matter has been actuated.
first by partisan reasons, and second
by fear of votes at home. The gentleman
from Massachusetts, is entitled to speak
for himself, but not for anyone else on
either side of this House. 1t is too grave
and great question for the patriotic
men of this House to determine for them
to be actuated by base motives as sug-
gested by the gentleman from Massa-

with the House under the circumstances
not only to call upon Mr.. Marshall for
an explanation but to punish him if the
case should proceed TO such an extremity.
The House has instituted contempt pro
ceedings for what many members are
disposed to regard as less grave matters
than Mr.. Marshalrs charges.
The last case was that OF c. c. Glover,
Washington bank president, who was
charged with physical attack upon Rep
resentative Simms. Mr.. Glover apollo
gized for the incident and the proceed
ings were dropped.
Mr.. AIarshalPs letter is interpreted not
only as n denunciation of the House it,
self for an alleged attempt to intimi-
date any district attorney" who might
undertake to bring charges against one
of its members. but also as a direct at
tack on the sub committee of the judici
airy committee which is conducting the
inquiry.
Under the circumstances the judiciary
committee will probably await the form
al report OF the subcommittee before
taking official cognizance of the matter.
1t is assumed that the Marshall letter
will be made the subject of report sep
arate from that on the investigation
proper
The full committee will consider the
report and may bring the matter TO the
attention of the House. It is for the
House to decide whether contempt pro-
ceedings shall be instituted.

subcommittee will probably continue
their Investigations in Washington for
several days before bringing the hearings

Washington, March Hearings on
the impeachment charges OF Representa-.

sumed by the House judiciary sub.com-
mittee here within the next few days.
This course was determined upon Sunday
night by the members upon their return
from New York, where they have been
taking testimony for several days.
The original plan of the committee
was to close the hearing in New York,
but this proved unsatisfactory and sew
eral New York witnesses will be brought
here TO testify.
Chairman Carlin brought TO Washing
ton the letter in which Mr.. Marshall at
tackled the motives of the committee, but
he had not determined what action if
any would be taken regarding it.
Members of the House, particularly
those on the judiciary committee, were
disposed to look on Mr.. MarshalPs com
munication as very grave matter. "No
more extraordinary letter" said one
member, "has been addressed to a House
investigating committee in many years"
1t is assumed generally by members Of
the House that the charge of irregular
ity and bad faith made against the sub.
committee conducting the investigation,
if not against the House itself, will not
be passed by without action of one kind
or another
In view of the character of the ques-
ton raised and the disposition of mem
bers of the judiciary committee to regard
the situation as one OF unusual gravity
there was an apparent reluctance on the
part of those who will most directly deal
with it to predict what course will be
taken.
1t is contended that the power lies
