CHANGE IN GAME LAW
1917 SOLONS HAVE SWEEPING
RECOMMENDATIONS OF CON-
SERVATION COMMISSION
UNDER CONSIDERATION
Especial to the Herald.)

\Op0CldI 10 the hoid1u.J
Madison, Wis.-Wisconsin hunters
of deer next season will not only have
to confine their activities among the
male animals, but they will have to
find bucks whose antlers have reach
ed a growth of at least six inches be-
fore they may shoot, if the 1917 legis-
lature acts favorably upon the recon-
mendation of the state conservation
commission.
The commission has prepared COM
plete revision and codification of the
state game and fish laws which it will
present to the legislature in the form
of a bill A uniform open and closed
season over the entire state with the
elimination of all special county laws
is also recommended. That the board
favors the operation of the one buck
law at present is indicated by the fact
that no further change than that con-
corning the horns is proposed in the
bill.
Change in Bird Law.
Duck shooters may be required to
wait until Sept. 26 before they repair
to the sloughs and lakes, if the section
of the bill pertaining to wild birds is
made law. The clause, however,
provides for the extension Of the sea-
son to Dec. 81.
An increase in all penalties for game
law violations is recommended The
principal fines as revised are $500 for
using dynamite in killing fish, 500 for
having venisOn in possession out of
season, 5000 for shipping game to mar
ket, $500 for serving venisOn in lum-
Der camps, railroad camps, hotels, Or
summer resorts.
1t is proposed to increase the fee for
nonresident hunters $40 to $25 in the
case Of small game, and from $25 to
$50 if deer are to be hunted. The COM
mission also would raise the nonresi-
dent fishing fee from 81 to So. 1t is
further provided that any license shall
be forfeited for the season if the hold
er is found guilty Of any game or fish
law violation.
Safety First Measure.
A clause directed against the casual
provides that gun or rife shall not
be carried in any automobile or other
vehicle unless it is unloaded, knocked
down or enclosed in a carrying case
The commission would afford the
game fish of the state better chance
against the sportsmen by reducing the
daily catch Of trout from forty-five to
twenty-five, and to prohibit the sale of
black bass and muskellunge
Would Rescue Fish.
In it's biennial report the commission
asks the re-enactment of law provid-
ing fund to rescue fish from the land
locked sloughs and bayous adjacent to
the Mississippi river This law is said
to have been repealed unintentionally
by another section of the laws of 1915,
and the board wants it re-established
at $4,000
The commissioners are James New
in, chairman; w. e.. Barber, R. S.
Scheibel, secretary, and F. B. Moody.

A World Capital.

So many aspects are constantly ap-
pesring in connection with the entry
of America into the world war that
there is one which may be overlook
ed, although to Washingtonians il
will be more important than any other
phase of the great conflict. 1t is the
position which our city will occupy.
As the National Capital every
movement of the United States in
preparation for warfare will originate
here and the city is destined to as
sumo a place in international affairs
never before attained.
Washington is so used to national
honors that it appears unmoved by
the present rush of important bust
ness which is being handled within
its bounds. Already the foremost
statesmen of the two most important
of our allies are in the city and their
councils with our government daily
are adding pages to the future history
of the world.
We have also felt the touch of war
in local incidents, Washingtonian
having been the first American killed
after the entry of the United States
into the war. Early yesterday morn
ing this young sesman's comrades
who were with him on the iIl-fated
Aztec arrived in the city, adding a
picturesque touch in their costumes
loaned by the French. The story of
the arrival of these gunners appeared
exclusively in The Washington Her
aid. Two hours after their arrival
The Herald printed the news, beating
every other paper in the city.
Washington today is the world
capital. Its position at this time can
not but benefit every citizen and in
dustry in the~city.

The Fight Around Arras.

The new Haig-NiveIle battering
ram is proceeding by series of slow,
steady pressures, rather than by any
concentrated violence of attack to
rupture the German line. The new
tactics, while less picturesque, are
sound and successful.
There is no question that the whole
philosophy of breaking through" of
making gap in the Teuton trench
line through which troops can pour
and threaten the enemy's rear, has
been entirely rewritten in the past six
weeks. Enhlade and barrage fire
exact too heavy a cost in the loss of
men. To smash through merely Gre
ates new salient across which the
enemy artillery can sweep, and un-
less the superiority of men and mu-
nitions is far more than two to one
the operation is doomed to certain
failure. This much the allies have
learned since Verdun and the Somme.

ening pressure, shifting the point OF
immediate attack in a way to keep
Hindenburg guessing. The operations
around Arras clearly show that the
British have properly REINFORCED
every point they have taken, for all
the violent German counter attacks
have been consistently repulsed
These eounter-attacks are significant;
not only have they drawn upon the
Hindenburg reserves, but they uncon-
sciously show the importance the
Germans attach to the positions in
the Douai plain that have been taken
from them. Three days of these vio-
lent recoils have failed to produce q
dent in the Haig line, and it is quite
evident that the British pressure is
growing stronger instead of relaxing
We may safely postulate now that
all plans of Hindenburg offensive
on the western front, If any were
made. have been thrown into the

Farm machinery is very scarce. It's
getting almost impossible TO obtain the
machinery that We need. Everybody is
manufacturing something else, it seems.
We're up against a shortage Of every sort
OF supplies, such as fertilizer and the
like. America has gone in for planting
on a large scale and there's not enough
equipment to go around.
Then we're up against another difi-
cult matter in the question of labor We
have to depend upon transients entirely

and the difficulty OF securing help for
Western farms in harvest time is almost

Balfour and Home Rule.

Perhaps it is premature to assert
that the American government will
be instrumental in effecting a settle
ment of the present battling Irish
question within the British Empire
Putting it in that way, of course,
makes it appear as if the United States
was meddling sophomorically in an
exclusively British domestic matter;
nevertheless, of course. it is not that
exactly.
In entering the world struggle to
vindicate the rights of small ma
tions," the American government
might as well make It clear now that
it is prepared ito go the whole hog. :"
Entire frankness in the pourparlers
with the British mission is required
for their success. If it be true, as
reported. that the President already
has pointed out to Mr.. Balfour the
immediate effect on American senti-
ment that grant of home rule to
ireland would have, we can only COM
mend his courage and his frankness,
the only criticism being, of course,
that this matter might well have been
left in the background until the
major problems of the war had been
canvassed.
As matter Of fact there Is no
placating of American sentiment re-
quired for the allied cause. Mr.. Bal
four knows perhaps more fully than
any British statesman the errors that
England has made in its treatment of
Ireland. for he has been in intimate
touch with that problem throughout
his career in Parliament. But Ireland
was on the eve of attaining "home
rule" when the war broke out; and
Lloyd George, in his address at the
Guildhall yesterday, pointed out that
an early settlement Of the Irish ques-
ton was essential! Perhaps that
speech was in response to the initia-
tive of President Wilson. Between
the German treatment of Belgium and
the Austrian treatment of Serbia, no
possible parallel can be drawn to the
present condition of ireland. The day
of that sort of spurious anti-British
agitation is past in the United States.
