Burlington, Oct. 24.-Snubbing the
family butcher is a favorite diversion
in Burlington right now, as a result OF
the plentiful quantities in which local
hunters are killing the wild ducks
which attempt to get from the north to
the south via the Mississippi valley.
Wild duck is now no delicacy. In
fact, II is the commonest of meats the
last day or two, and almost everyone
Is eating il here as u result of the
''sure-eye" of some member Of the
family or some member of the neigh
boris family. With wild duck adorn-
ing the center platter on the festal
board, the citizens are getting a long
wanted chance to cast shifts" at the
high cost of living, and the family
butcher, its rch-conspirator.
Burlingtonians who had guests for
dinner did not need to go to the trou-
BILE Of having the butcher put an extra
bone in the week end roast or porter
house, but merely provided wild game
on the menu.
1t takes a run of weather like the
spell of the week END to show what a
great hunting center Burlington is.
AS soon as the snow began to fall last
Friday a lot of fellows waved fond
good bye to the boss, or to his en-
pioyes. as the case may be, or may
have been. and set out in quest of the
birds southwark bound.
Hundreds Are Killed.
In the last three days hundreds of
ducks have been shot within few
miles of the city, and most all of those
who went out came home with at least
few birds, while not few killed the
personal limit" Of twenty-five.
Sunday the people living along
Prospect and North bluffs were re-
minded Of the battle Of Verdun by the
almost constant cannonading on the
islands near the city and along the
banks. From early morning until late
at. night the firing kept up, and the
chugging Of launches turnout the day
told the story of scores of hunters be-
ing on their way to or from camping
places UP or down the river-for it was
a day for launch riding for launch rid
ing's own sake.
In this section Of late years duck
hunting has been waning sport
waning because there are few ducks
and they generally all get thru the val
ley in this section IN few days, be-
fore and during the first real cold pc
Rod Of the year However. Burlington
has many crack shots, who make the
most Of the limited opportunity, and
bring home good share of every flock
that passes over, or attempts to do so.

The First Newspaper.

During this month occurs the 226th
anniversary Of the date of the first
newspaper published in America. This
pioneer gazette Of a continent which
now supports nearly 10000 publications
was the project of Benjamin Harris OF
Boston, whose address was given as
the London coffee -house, and 1t was
printed by Richard Pierce. The jour-
nal consisted Of four pages, but only
three Of these were printed, one page
being left blank 50 that personal mess
ages might be written thereon. Each
page was about xii inches in size.
Benjamin Harris, the editor, referred
to governmental and military matters
in way displeasing to the Boston au-
thorities. who would seem to have been
very thin of skin, and his journal was
suppressed within twenty -four hours
of the appearance of the first-and
last-number. 1t was charged that
Harris had printed reflections of a
very high nature" and he was forbid
den to put anything in print without
license first obtained from those ap-
pointed by the government to grant the
same"
After the suppression Of the Harris
before another attempt was made to
establish newspaper on this side of
the Atlantic. John Campbell, the post
master of Boston, was the editor and
proprietor of this sheet, which, was
called the Boston Newsletter. Camp

Charges Lodusd by Italy. t3

Charges Lodged by Italy.
Correspondence Of Associated Press.
Vienna, Oct 2.-In reply to con-
stently recurring charges in the Ital-
ian press that Italian prisoners Of war
held by the Austro Hungarian authori-
ties were badly treated the following
official statement has been issued
THE housing of prisoners of wap In
Austria Hungary complies with all
sanitary laws, for which the excellent
health of prisoners of war is the best
argument
THE bread furnished prisoners OF
war is the same issued to Austro-
Hungarian soldiers and consumed BY
the population of Austria Hungary.
Hand cuffs and tying prisoners are
provided for by the service regulations
of the imperial and royal army. and
are applied to members of this army in
manner undetrimental to health. In
the sense of The Hague convention
this punishment may also be applied
to prisoners Of war. 1t is asking too
much to expect that prisoners of war
are to remain unpublished for offenses
for which soldiers Of the army would
Ie punished. The prisons, into which
prisoners of war are never thrown, as
charged, but led are sanitary build
ings in the prison camps in which,
when necessary, are confined also
members of the camp guard organi-
cations.
THE attack on our medical system
is a Misrepresentation. The substance
referred to by writer as plaster or
Paris is dried milk of the-sort used in
all army hospitals and similar institu-
tions. ~
Concerning the complaints relative
to the quantity of food the statement
may be made that the bearable limita-
tons which England's starvation
policy has imposed upon the central
powers must of necessity be borne also
by prisoners of war. 1t would be diff
cult to group under the heading OF
humanity an arrangement by which
Woodworking men, troops in the field,
women and children We're to be de-
prived of food for the purpose Of pro-
viding greater rations for prisoners OF
war whose governments act without
the Slightest regard for international
law.
The attitude of Austro-Hungarian
officers towards Italian captured Off
GERS has always been proper; that per-
sonal sympathy is out of the question
is due to conditions whose discussion
Italian publicists might better leave
untouched"
The last inspection Of prison camps
in which Italians. are detained, made
by the American ambassador to Aus
tria- Hungary, resulted in report TO
the Italian government that its prison.
ers of war in Austria Hungary, were
cared for in the matter of housing and
clothing, and that the food was in
quality and quantity such as was
pcocurable in the monarchy under
present conditions, but ample to meet
the needs of the men.
