THE NEW GAME LAW
License Tax of $40 Required OF Non
Resident Nimr0ds

Among the measures adopted by
he General Assembly at its recent
:cssion was a game law looking to
protection Of the wild denizens of
field, forest and stream from indiscrl-
innate and wholesale slaughter.
Besides regulating the times and
seasons during which the shooting or
taking is lawful, and prohibiting
sales and expectations, the law re-
luires that every hunter take out Il
:ccnse of 81 to hunt in the county
Of which he is resident and So should
nc desire 20 hunt in other counties
n addition TO his own. Owners ana
landlords and tenants may hunt on
their own land, the land OF which
hey have charge or the land which
.hcv arc renting, with the permission
Of the owner in each instance, with
out paying any license and the same
rules apply to lands adjoining their
own where owners give permission.
\ person residing outside of Virginia
who comes here to hunt must pay SO
Tor his license, except where ne owns
land and then he can hunt on his OWL
land without a license, but on his own
land alone. Possession Of game or fish
killed or caught in violation of the
law is deemed prima facic evidence
Of guilt.
For each county ii the State War
den is to be appointed whose duties
are set forth in detail. This officer is
20 be selected by State Commissioner
Of Fish and Game from list Of ten
names to be submitted by the Board
of Supervisors and the compensation
is fixed at fifty dollars month. On
the character of these appointccs the
success OF the measure will depend.

GERMANY WANTS PEACE.
frying to Form a Separate Compact
With Japan to End War.

Confirmation of reports that Ger
many has been unsuccessfully trying
to conclude separate peace with
Japan was made by Counyt Okuma,
the premier, in an interview with a
representative of the kokumin Shin
bun on January 5, The premier be-
lieved this indicated that Germany
was showing certain signs of suffer-
ing, chiefly as result of the weak
cned condition of her finances.
While no details Of the peace ne
gotiations were made public, the pre-
miner said it was hsrdly necessary to
announce that Japan would adhere to
the London peace declaration by
which she had agreed not to make a
separate peace.
