FARMERS SHOOT DEER.

Save Orchard and Crops,

Say They Are Obliged to Do So to
Save Orchard and Crops.
Barnegat, N. Ocean county farm
ers are taking the law into their own
hands and shooting deer out of season
to save their crops from the ravages
Of herds Of these animals. A commit
tee headed by Ezra Parker and w. J.
Dougan returned from visit to the
governor and said the state was pow
erless to protect the farmers or to sus-
pend the law, which provides a penalty
Of 500 for each deer killed. The board
Of freeholders also was appealed to,
but members said they had no author
ity to save the crops, although Director
Otis of the board said he saw herd
Of seven deer eating his crops.
So desperate have the farmers be-
come that they are now shooting the
deer and using the meat. The game
wardens have not made any arrests,
and it is a question whether they could
obtain any convictions if they did.

and bring back Donald Macmillan, the
explorer who went to the arctic in 1918
to look for the new continent which
Rear Admiral Peary thought he had
discovered several years before and
which he had named Croker Land.
Macmillan sent back word in 1915 that
he had made sledge trip Of 100 miles
across the ice in the direction Of the
supposed continent and had found no
trace Of land, and many scientists have
since supposed that what Rear Admiral
Peary saw was an extraordinarily Wv
i'd mirage.
According to message received from
the Shetland islands, the Macmillan
party are safe, and Bartlett will go
north to bring them back.
The new expedition will be command
ed by Captain Robert A. Bartlett, ia
nous from his connection with the ex-
plorations of Peary and Stefansson,
and will sail from St. Johns, New
foundland, in the first week Of July.

Practice absolute cleanliness and help

When several days at sea the de-

CAPTAIN BARTLETT.

CAPTAIN BARTLETT.
The vessel obtained is the steam sealer
Neptune, formerly known as the best
vessel in the Newfoundland fishing
fleet, but more recently carrying coal
for the British government.
The troubles of the Macmillan party
began shortly after their departure in
July, 1913, when their ship was wreck
ed off Barge Point, Labrador. The
party and supplies were transferred to
another vessel and reached Etah that
fall. In the summer Of 1915, after re-
ports had been received of the activi-
ties Of the party, DR.. Edmund Otis
Hovey, chairman Of the committee In
charge of the expedition and curator
Of the department Of geology in the
American Museum Of Natural History,
started out with relief party in the
ship George B. Cluett. DR.. Hovey
reached Etah and brought back all the
party except Mr.. Macmillan and two
companions, who had gone on a hunt
ing trip despairing Of any rescue party
that year. The Cluett was caught in
the ice herself that winter, although
several Of the members Of the party
got out by sledge. Meanwhile last
spring the steamer Denmark, with
Danish complement, was chartered in
Greenland when word Of DR.. Hovey's
plight was received, but she was last
heard Of on Aug. 20 Of last year, fight
ing, ice in Melville bay.
The Cluett returned to Newfound-
land last September, but DR.. Hovey
and Elmer Ekblaw Of her party, to-
gether with George B. Conner, the ice
pilot, are presumably still in the neigh
borhoOd Of Etah. Mr.. MacMillan's re-
naming companions are DR.. Harrison

explained by William Hard, investiga-

joint sessions Of the American Society
Of Mechanical Engineers and the Ma

The chief lesson, Mr.. Hard said,
would be to invest seamen with the con-

should be intrusted with SO important
duty. Affairs Of the army and navy

A new field for American girls has
opened in France with the decision to
replace the chauffeurs of automobile
ambulances, except those at the front,
with women drivers. Since the great
proportion Of Frenchwomen are al
ready war workers, it is expected that
American girls will fill the positions.
