and game warden, ]. A. Visquesney of
lexington, to the governor.
During the year ending June 80,
1916. only $4,000 acres Of forest lands
were burned over in West Virginia in
comparison with 100000 acrss destrc:'-
ell In the preceding year. The loss
during the year 1915-1916 was less
by $32L000 than the loss tn tho year
1914-1915. The cost Of protection
against forest fires during the past
year was 4,$400 while the cost in the
previous year was more than $4,000
From 1909 to 1916, according to the
report, there have been 1,16S forest
fires in the state and almost 100000
acres have been burned over with for
est products destroyed to the value of
more than 100000. 1t is estimated
that $4,000 was expended by the state
during those years In extinguishing
such fires.
suggests that the legislature at the
coming session amend the game law
SO as to provide the payment Of fee
Of one dollar for all resident hunt
ing licenses. The proceeds, he esti-
mates, will be approximately $4,000
a year. He suggests that a part Of
this increased revene be used in bet
tering fire protection in these areas
not now sufficiently protected, and
that the remainder be used in provid-
ing a better deputy system for the en-
forcement of game laws and for the
establishment Of game sanctuaries in
each county Of the state. The build
ing of a fish hatchery to stock the
streams Of the state with fish Is also
suggested.
Statistics given In the report show
that in 1915-1916 the total number of
fish planted in West Virginia streams
was 1,4S6,000, more than a 100000
more than were distributed in the
previous year, Pike perch led in the
number planted with brook trout,
small-mouth black bass, and rainbow
trout following in the order named.
Some catfish, large.mouth black bass,
sun fish and cappies were also dis
tributed.
During the two year period covered
by the report, the department convict
CO 372 persons for violating the game
laws Of the state. Eighty.fve per-
sons arrested on such charges were
acquitted, while 80 cases are pending
aud 26 have been appealed The to.
tai fines assessed exceeded $4,000 and
more than $4,000 was collected.
Warden Visquesney in his report de-
clares that the nonresident hunting
and fishing license fee in West Vir.
GINA is too high. He asserts that a
smaller fee would bring greater rev
enues. He also declares that the
present system of renumerating depu.
ties by paying them half of the fines
imposed on yiolators tends to arouse
sentiment against the deputies and is
not satisfactory.

JAPANESE NEWSPAPER
LIKES NEW ATTITUDE
OF AMERICAN NATION

Japanese are very grateful for the
attitude OF the United States says
Y. Sega in an editorial in the Nippu
Jill today. We sympathize with the
United States and hope that the
change of position from neutrality to
a belligerent nation will result in an
early peace for the nations of the
world ..: 81.
War will end sooner if the United
States continues to take the stand
that has been outlined Japanese in
America must change their attitude
toward the United States, inasmueh
as the two nations will be fighting a
common foe, should war be declared.
1T is to be hoped that Japanese
in Hawaii will not show enmity to-
ward Germans and Austrians in pet
ty things but Rather keep the attitude
of great nation. IL the time comes
when the Japanese residents of Ha-
waii are needed they must stand up
for the United States, as this is not
only an obligation but the. United
States would be joining the Allies in
the common cause of oyerthrowing
militarism. Japanese in Canada have
given their lives for that country, and
in an emergency it is certain that the
Japanese of Hawaii will do the same
for the United States" <:.Es - 49,. f.

BIG GEIER CREW
IS EXPLAINAbLE

Developments which centered about
the firing of the German gunboat
Geiers boilers Sunday brought out the
remarkable discovery that there were
ESQ sailors on board instead of IT'S
the number reported by the German
officers when the ship was interned
at the beginning Of the war.
A logical explanation was offered
today to account for the increase OF
l02 men in the crew. If the answer
given by one generally in touch with
the actions of Germans in Honolulu
is to be accepted the mystery quickly
clears. Detective and German Inter
prefer Rudolph Stein of Capt. McDuf'
fie's department has this to offer:
The additional 102 men were un.
doubtedly members of the German ma.
val reserve who flocked here when
war started, found they could not get
to Germany on account of the block
ade and rendered their services to
the commander of the Geier who re-
enlisted them and issued uniforms.
Possibly he thought it was not ne
cessary to inform United States au-
thorities here of such an action.
Knows of Instances II
Il know it to be fact that many
German naval reservists who came
here followed such course. Many
were destitute when they got this far;
there was nothing else for the Geier
commander to do but to take them.
Quite number Of the 102 addi-
tional men were also from those men
in the German refugee crews that
were discharged when the steamers
tied up here Those who were Of the
naval reserve reported to the Geier;
others looked about the city for work.
Many are now employed on the plan.
tations and elsewhere" ii
Arrive From Orient
Stein says the naval reserve men
are those who have served the re-
quired number of years in the Ger
man navy and are subject to call up
to 40 years of age in time of war.
They came TO Honolulu mostly from
the Orient, he says, flocking in here
