HOPE TO PERM|T I SOLDIERS TO
 HUNT

ANCHORAGE, July IT. Alaska's weird and wonderful game regulations are the subject of another government report of protest. This time it is not the fact that the brown bear is a game bird under the jurisdiction of the department of agriculture, while his brother, the black bear, is a fur bearing animal under the jurisdiction of the department of commerce, that furnishes the test for the report It is more serious than that.
 Under existing law and regulations native of Alaska, a miner, a prospec- tor or an explorer may kill game at any time of necessity or "when in want of food" But an officer or an enlisted man of the army, on duty in Alaska, is not a native, a miner, prospector nor an explorer. The of ficers and men of the army signal corps have to travel in the wild places
 of Alaska in keeping up their tele- i graph lines.
 So travelling, every time bear happens along and tries to bite them they have but two courses open. One is to explain the situation to the bear :, sending a note won't do and beg
 his indulgence. The other is to kill the bear and risk going to jail
 None has gone to jail yet. Which
 speaks well for their powers of per suasion-or ability to prove an alibi But Brigadier-General Scriven, chief signal officer of the army, does not
 like the situation. It puts too much ; of a strain on his officers and men He wants them put on the same basis as natives, miners, prospectors and , explorers. So he has written a memo randum on the subject, which Secre' } tary Baker has passed on to General } Crowder, judge advocate general, who
 has ruled that the only way to secure relief is by executive action. Since , both the department or commerce and ' the department of agriculture are in | volved, the correspondence file is , growing bulky. Maybe in a few months the regulations will be changed.

NEW METHOD WILL HELP ID
 TEACH LIND

VIENNA, July IT. - Correspond ence of the Associated Press.) - Dr. Max Herz, a well known scientist, has invented a sort of combination of talk ing machine and telegraph which will enable the blind to read" with far greater ease than the present cumber- some and costly Braile books.
 The principle of the new device lies in the conveying of Morse" or other telegraphic signs, to the blind through the sense of hearing. On the machine are placed small records, each of which may contain a whole story, writ ten out in code.
 To produce these records a further instruemnt composed of two Morse keys and electric saunders, is re- quired the saunders being connected with needle which cuts into the pre- pared wax record The records con sist only of long and short sounds, and they can be sold at extraordinar- fly low prices.
 It is proposed through this medium to issue a daily newspaper for the blind.

CENSORSHIP IS LIFTED.

LONDON, July IA. - A remarkable feature of the operations now under way has been the liberty allowed the correspondents at headquarters from the very outset of the battle to tele, graph accounts of it's progress in con- siderable detail.
 The concession made some time ago to the popular clamor for greater en- lightenment has resulted in the issu' ance nightly instead of occasionally of official bulletins; but the scantiness of the news they until recently con tained, and the monotony of their con- stant reiteration of details, necessar- fly served to dull, rather than whet, the appetite Of public thristing to see the great armies, in which almost every individual now has relative serving, get to the grips with the Germans.

SOCIALISTS PLAN FOR LASTING
 PEACE

ROME, July 4. Correspondence of the Associated Press.) - A re- newed Socialist activity for peace is predicted by Jules Destree. Socialist member Of the Belgian parliament from Charleroi MT. Destree has been in Italy for a number of months, lec- turing and writing on Soeialist@ques- tions, but particularly with the view, it is understood, of maintaining the relations among the Socialists that existed before the war, to prevent the dismemberment of national political organizations.
 There are at present three dis tinct movements among the Socialists of Europe" said Dr. Destree, to the Associated Press, and these lines are rapidly being drawn tighter. In Italy, in France and in Germany has exist, ed for some time those Socialists who have supported the war and those So cialists who have held aloof from it though passively. The new alignment of the three movements consists first. of those nationalities who are taking an active part in supporting the war; secondly, those who are ir sympathy with the work of the Inter nationalist Socialist Bureau, now To nated at The Hague, the officers o which are seeking to bring abou discussions; and thirdly, those Social ists who recently met at Zimmerwald Switzerland, and who therefore may be termed Zimmerwaldens. These latteL want peace at any price.
 "The two latter groups are sending invitations and arranging meetings for the summer to examine if there are not some terms on which peace is possible, and these meetings vii be attended by Socialists from all thu belligerent countries, and possibly tht United States.
 Personally, I belong to the frs group the Nationalists, who refuse tc make peace until there is victory b! arms for somebody. If there is { peace which is not brought by arms then it means that armaments vii continue, and this would be a misfor tune for all. As a Socialist I cannO but pray for lasting peace, no matter what the present sacrifices may be.
 international peace must be based on justice, and we cannot have justice so long as armaments exist to enforce injustice.
 "The German Socialists might have prevented the war if they had con sidered questions of justice rather than that of gain. The trouble witt them before the war was that they were always fighting about questions of wages, of salaries, rather thar points of justice, and when the wal came with chance of gain to Ger many they voted for it in the Reich stag and despite the declaration o the Socialist congress of Stuttgart"

quoting at this time from a speech

NICE FOR THE FOREIGNERS
Federal officials who are inquiring
whether there is an illegal agreement
among bakers to raise prices call at
tention to the fact that bread made
from American flour is selling cheap
er in London, Trieste, Lyons, Havre
and other European cities than in the
United States, which certainly re-
flutes the claim that the increase in
prices here is justified by war ex-
ports. At any rate, it proves unques-
tionably that there is something rot
ten in Denmark and that real fed
eraI investigation is due. An en-
barge on wheat exports is apparent
" not warranted by such facts as
have thus far been deduced. More
likely the trouble lies here at home
and a little digging would unearth a
healthy young trust.
The increase in bread prices
pinches most those who can least
afford to be pinched. Bread from
American flour selling for less in
London than in Chicago is a condi-
tien which will surely not be toler-
ated long.
