Increase In the Price OF Guns and Am.
munition Makes Hunting a
Rich Mans Sport.

Despite the war the permanent wild
life protective fund is continuing its
battle to save American game from
extinction, writes Frederic J. Hask-
In. War is a benefit to wild life in
that it takes many hunters out Of the
field and has raised the average price
Of guns and ammunition about so per
cent, making hunting what it is rapidly
becoming In this country. anyway
rich mans sport.
The wild life protection fund, in its
literature and the lectures of its caEN
paigning trustee, William T. Horna-
day of the New York geological park,
Is seeking to spread the idea that the
sportsmen must act to save the game,
that they are robbing themselves and
future generations if they do not. This
Idea has been well set forth in pos
ter of the New Med4 Game Protec-
tion associations, which have set out
with determination and success to save
the wild Life of that state. The poster
is as follows:
Your grandfather hunted elk and
buffalo until there were none.
.'You are hunting deer. There still
are some.
"What do you want your son to
hunt? Rabbits?'
The average New Mexican reading
that sign knows that 1t is true. He
has heard from the old-timers what the
abundance of game used to be; he sees
in flash the long generations of ruth
less destruction, the inevitable end
when the mountains where he loves
to hunt will be lifeless.
Another difficulty In the path of
game preservation lies in the opposi-
ton In congress to federal action in the
matter. Nothing but federal action
saved the wild fowl. By reason of the
migratory game law, drawn by gov
ernment scientists and providing pro-
lection for waterfowl from Canada to
Mexico, they are now believed TO be
safe for hundred years.

KERENSKY'S ARMY NOW
APPROACHING PETROGRAD

Petrograd, Nov. 19.-Reports of a
new army, composed Of various ele-
ments from the front, and the van
guard of which is said to be close to
Gatchina, have sent a new thrill
through the city

lease the city from the control of the
Bolsheviki, which is commanded by
Staff Captain Pavioff Of the Social
Democratic Workmen's party, already
has had brushes with the defending
outposts of the Bolsheviki army.
According to some versions, M. Ke-
rensky is returning with the army.
Still other reports tell Of an armored
train approaching from the direction
OF Moscow, pulling up the rails as it
proceeds. All the reports are impos-
sible of confirmation.
There has been split here among
the Maximalists. The ministers of the
interior, agriculture and supplies have
resigned, holding that a formation OF
a coalition Socialist government is es-
sential. Several other commissioners
support their views.
M. Zinovieff, associate OF Likoiai Le-
nine, and M. Kameneff, vice president
of the Workmen's and Soldiers dele
gates, and three other members of the
Maximalist Central Committee OF the
Petrograd Workmen's and Soldiers
delegates, likewise have resigned for
the same reason.
Army Supplies Menaced.
A report Of the interfrontal congress
for the supply of the armies Is pub
lished here. It declares the inability
Of the congress further to CARRY on
the burden laid upon it by the general
army committee and that, therefore,
unless the present situation is quickly
clarified it will give up the task and
not be responsible for consequences.
The Committee for the Salvation OF
the Revolution has protested against

Dress In London.

Something might be said Of the
changes that three years of war have
brought about in our clothes, says the
Manchester Guardian. Evening dress
Is not abolished, but it Is becoming
much less customary in theaters and
restaurants, and people coming up to
London who used to bring evening
clothes with them no longer do SO.
Stiff white collars are disappearing,
and the soft collar is worn by all
classes. The democratic process Lad
already set In at the house of COM
mons. One remembers the shock that
Mr.. Keir Hardie's cloth cap created
on its first appearance there, but 1t
has advanced immensely since the war
began. Frock coats are in small and
diehard minority. Spats are on their
last legs. Top hats survive mirac-
ulously, it might seem, until one re-
members their enduring qualities, SO
that their persistence is only q form
of war economy after all.

CHARGES NOT SERIOUS,
SAYS MRS. HUMISTOh

New York, Nov. 190.-FoIlowing Of
fetal denials of her charges Of immor-
ality on the part of soldiers in the
vicinity OF the various camps and cam
tonments of the country and a sum-
mons to appear before authorities at
Washington and make good her state
ments, Mrs. Grace Humiston, Of Ruth
Cruger case fame, has completely
changed front and declares she made
mo serious charge against United
States soldiers"
Assertions that her charges were
without foundation have received cor.
roboration from the subcommitte on
civilian cooperation in combating So
cial diseases, appointed by the Coun-
Gil Of National Defense. William H.
Zinsser, chairman of this committee,
issued from his Office statement char
acterizing Mrs. Humiston's stores as
baseless and declaring that the gov
ernment's program would be ham
pered seriously by such destructive
and ignorant criticism"
Mrs. Humiston has sent two tele-
grams to Washington. To Raymond
B. Fosdick, chairman of the commits
sion on training camp activities, she
said merely that she had asked the
war department for confirmation OF
his telegram of Friday, to which she
referred in the following telegram to
the secretary Of war:
;c al
gram as follows:
"fYou are quoted in morning papers
as making serious charges against
United States soldiers. It is requested
that you come to Washington immedi-
ately to lay before the war department
proof Of these charges. Please wire
me the earliest possible date that you
can come. BY direction of the secre-
tary Of war.
$50 RAYMOND 3. FOSDICK.'
IT made no serious charges against
United States soldiers, but at dinner
of women lawyers mentioned certain
conditions which have been reported
personally and by letter to my Office.
MY address did not deal with United
States soldiers entirely, but several
cases were mentioned concerning SOL
diers as examples which are prevalent
in and about the city. Mr.. Fosdicks
telegram is not expressive Of the senti-
ment of my address. But il you wish
it 1 shall be glad to come to Washing
ton and report to you the facts in my
possession, and l also offer my own
services without remuneration for a
period OF six months in Investigating
camp conditions and aiding in safe
guarding the morals of women, espe-
cially minors"

By Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, Nov. 19-Thomas
Newhort, of SO Targee street, Staple
ton, committed suicide by shooting
himself in the right temple with a
thirty-two calibre revolver at his
home Saturday night after he had
fired four shots at his ten-year-old
daughter, Agnes, who was at home
alone with him at the time. He died
instantly but the shots fired at the
little girl failed to take effect. New

months ago by inhaling gas. His life
was saved that time by being rushed
to the hospital shortly after being
discovered in a room at his home. He
has been a sufferer from rheumatism
for a long time and this Is believed to
have drove him suddenly insane.
His wife died some time ago, leav-
ing him and Agnes alone. He told
the child that he did not want to
leave her among strangers. Newhort
had resided in Stapleton for thirty
seven years and was well thought of
by friends and neighbors that knew
him. Police of the Eightieth precinct

Huskinq Indian Corn.

The husking of Indian corn Is a
man-power proposition. Husking and
cribblng Of this great staple cereal
must be done by hand. Machinery has
never satisfactorily grappled with the
task. Formerly farmer, single-hand-
ed, would husk 80 bushels of corn In
q day, but greater skill has raised the
possible output per person to between
60 and 100 bushels. That men and
boys, women and girls, may become
more proficient in the work, husking
schools have now been established
throughout the corn belt. These
schools are for business, and must not
be confounded with husking bees,
which are mostly for fun.-Christia1
