CHANGES GAME LAWS
Fish and Game Bills Signed
Last Week by Gov. Philip
Have Important Changes.

The fish and game bill which
was signed by Gov. Philip last
week is the most comprehensive
measure on the subject ever en-
acted in Wisconsin. Among i'm
portant changes are:
Nonresident fishermen must
pay d license fee of ST and cou-
pons attached permit the ship
ments. A coupon must accom-
pany each shipment of fish.
The bill allows a nonresident
female to fish without a license,
but if she desires to make any
shipments of fish she must have
a license.
Resident hook and line fisher
men need not take a license, but
are limited to shipments within
the state, and to ship outside
the state must get a permit.
This provision is also designed
as a check on pot" fishermen.
The season for black bass fish
ing, which formerly opened May
81, will hereafter open June Is,
except that in few inland lakes
OswegO or green bass may be
caught after May %. This pro-
vision is incorporated to pre-
serve the fish during the spawn
ing, it having been demonstrated
that black bass caught on or
about une 1st were still filled
with spawn. This bill also pre-
vents the sale of black bass.
The lone buck" law was re-
pealed and in its place a provis-
ion was incorporated permitting
the shooting of one deer of either
sex. The season has been short
ened ten days. This will meet
the objections raised by the hun
tiers to the one buck law.
The muskrat season has been
left practically as before.
The shooting of cartridges has
been prohibited for two years
while the opening and closing o.
the rabbit season was provided
for to meet the requirements O
each county.
The open season for ducks AND
aquatic fowl was specified in the
new bill from Sept. Z to Dec. 10
Heretofore duck hunters were
not allowed to shoot until sun
rise, but under the bill passed
they will be permitted to shoot
thirty minutes before sunrise
This provision was asked for
by the leading duck hunters oil
the state.
There was probably no bill
that received more complete dis,
cussion than the fish and game
measure. The provisions of the
bill become efectiveas soon as
the measure has been signed and
published.
The new fish and game law
books will be issued about the
middle of August. No prosecu-
tions can be made under the new
laws until the books are issued
The new licenses for nonresi-
dent fishermen will be printed on
yellow paper and will have three
coupons attached. Each coupon
is good for one shipment Of

GERMANY'S OBSESSION

The saying that, whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad
appears to be working out now in the
history of Germany. Though nations
often make serious blunders, and
other nations than Germany are COM
hitting errors now, the series of mon
umental mistakes committed by the
German government in connection
with this conflict is almost incredible.

suade England from entering the war,
but she was not able to do so. She
thought she could afford to regard a
treaty as scrap of paper, and in
vaded and ravaged the country of
Belgium. She murdered innocent
people on the Lusitania. She cruelty
put to death Edith Cavelle. She
brought the savage Turk into the war.
She is making slaves of the Belgian
people. She turns cities into a wilder
ness. She has followed the policy of

opposition. She sets aside the moral
law in her determination to give Ger
many a place in the sun. By her
course she has been setting the cur
rent of the worlds opinion against
her. Except for the few nations
aligned with her, and which she dom
mates, she has not an avowed friend
among all the nations of the world.
The others are either neutral, and
some of these neutral partly through
fear, or they are distinctly opposed
to her. England, France, Belgium,
Italy, Serbia, Montenegro, Roumania,
Russia, Japan and others have taken
their stand against her. Central in
possession, dominating her allies,
marvelously prepared, strong intellec-
tually, strong financially, economical
ly we'll organized, she is making a
tremendous battle, not for national ex-
istence, which was never threatened,
but for the dominance of Europe and
of an even wider sphere. In this eff
fort she is doomed to final defeat. The
odds are too great against her. She
is coming to be regarded. in the Ian
guage of President Wilson, as the
natural foe of liberty" But like a
giant splendidly trained, and who is
by no means yet exhausted, she will
not go down in the struggle till she
has inflicted gaping wounds on the
world which will be long in healing.
She has set herself against right, lib
erty and humanity. She is making
the world pay a staggering price for
her defeat, but it is being paid. She
sought to read the handwriting on the
wall and lay down her arms before
she leads more of her people, who are
not at all so responsible for the pres
ent world catastrophe as the rulers
are, into suffering and death on the
field Of battle, or into the darkness of
hunger and Observation-Disclosures

PRIORITY TO WAR SERVICE

Priority must be accorded to the
services of war. When an army is to
be moved all means of transport in
sight are Communicated. When an
army is to be fed, civilians protest in
vain against the seizure of stores. So
matters have stood since time i'm
memorial. This is why it now mere
ly seems common sense to enact a
law giving the President authority
to claim priority in the transporta-
ton of goods essential to the prose-
cution of the war. Whether the out
put of steel mills shall be assigned
to the building of warships, merchant
ships, railways, Office buildings or
summer hotels should, we all feel, be
determined by like principle of pri-
ority. If we have as yet no law
guaranteeing priority for military re-
quirements in the field of production,
we feel that this is merely a gap in
in our war arrangements, to be stop
ped for the present by patriotic ac-
ton on the part of the producers
themselves.-New Republic.

MR.. BRYAN FOR VICTORY

During his public career, friends of
William Jennings Bryan have, no
doubt, more than once had occasion to
differ with him; some may, at times,
have felt called upon to dissent from
certain of his views very widely and
very emphatically, but it is a question
if any, at any time, have had cause
for being ashamed of him. His judg
ment may have been criticised; but,
so far as memory serves, even amid
the bitterest partisan strife, his in
tegrity has never been assailed. He
has seldom tried the patience and 10y
atty of his friends more severely, per-
haps, than during the short interval
Immediately preceding his resignation
from the Office of Secretary of State.
Thousands of those who had been with
him through thick and thin, and had
rather been strengthened than weak
ened in their devotion by his repeated
defeats, could not reconcile themselves
to his attitude in the Cabinet, and the
great majority of them were pleased
rather than grieved when he left it.
But they did not doubt his honesty
of purpose then, or afterward, when
he endeavored to dissuade President
Wilson from taking, as it seemed to
him, and to millions of citizens, the
only honorable course left open to the
nation, by declaring the existence of
state of war with Germany.
From the moment when the United
States became a participant in the
conflict until about two weeks ago,
except when he rendered his services
| to the President in any capacity in
which he might be deemed useful, Mr..
Bryan has observed a strict silence.
At the time indicated he published
this in his newspaper, The Commoner
Before our nation. enters d war
it is perfectly proper to discuss
the wisdom Of going to war, but

tacks upon the government or aid

applied at the office here to enlist in
the army. He appeared to be in fine
physical condition and Maj. Roberts
and Sergt. Otis were convinced that
he was until they tried to examine his
heart. They couldn't locate it. They
made him run upstairs, jump, wres-
tie, box and otherwise exert himself.
Again they sought to test his heart
action. There wasn't any to test. If
he has a heart the officers couldn't
find it. He walked out disappointed,
but not the least tired and feeling fine,

the enemy under the claim that he
is exercising freedom of speech.
No sympathy, therefore, will
be wasted upon those who have
been arrested for unpatriotic ut
terances. They abuse free speech,
and this applies to attacks upon
the Allies as well as to attacks
upon the United States, We can
no more allow our allies to be
crushed than we can afford to be
crushed ourselves. The defeat of
our allies would throw the whole
burden Of the war upon US. We
must stand together and fight it
through. There are only two
sides to a war. Every American
must be on the side Of the United
States.
The sentiments here embodied drew
forth words of approval and warm ad'
miration from newspapers that hat
never, in political sense, been friend.
ly to Mr.. Bryan. 1t was generally ad-
mitted that he had said the right
thing, at the right time, in the right
way. Strongly as he put the case, how
ever, his words hardly prompted ex-
pectation of such an unreserved COM
mitment to the situation as that which
dropped from his lips in Chicago, last
Monday, when he said, "There can be
but one end to the war-the overthrow
Of Germany"
Thus, in thirteen words, is embraced
the principal condition upon which the
war can be brought to a close, as Mr.
Bryan and the overwhelming major
ity of his fellow citizens grasp the
situation.-Christian Science Monitor

Times, whose subscriptions were in
arrears, as well as to all those whose
subscriptions will expire on October

from all those who may desire this
paper continued to their address, we
have received remittances from many,
for which we desire to extend our
heartiest thanks. A few errors were
made in these Systematically a
few-which were unavoidable, and we
are now using every possible precau-
ton to see that all such errors are
corrected, so that if you are paid in
advance, yet received a statement,
you will now be properly credited.
But there are still many in arrears
from whom we have not heard as yet.
To all such we wish to again say
and to insist-that their papers will
be discontinued on October LIST, pro-
viding we do not receive their remit
tance during the month of Septem-
Der. We have no desire to appear ar
bitrary in this matter. This is a con-
ditiOn which has been forced upon
The Times management by the ex-
ceedingly high prices we are now
forced to pay for practically every
thing that goes into the manufacture
of this newspaper.
We are putting forth our very best
efforts TO give Times readers a news
paper in every way worthy of sup
port. That we are succeeding in this
to satisfactory degree is attested by
many of our friends and subscribers.
Therefore we feel it is not presuming
on our subscribers to ask for sub
scriptions in advance, just as most
other papers are now doing. Advance
payment is necessary, in order to
keep The Times subscription business
from actually running behind, espec-
tally while the subscription price re-
mains at only S1,OO year.
We are DESTROYS of keeping every
name on Our subscription list that is
now there, as well as adding many
more. To this end we propose to
put forth our very best efforts,
to the end of constantly making im-
preyements in The Times, so long as
there is any room for improvement.
Will you not help us in the effort, by
paying up any delinquency there may
be in your subscription, as well as
paying $1.00 in addition for another
years subscription to this paper. AL
SO a good word to friend, in regard
to this paper, may secure subscrip-
ton from him, and will be greatly ap-
preciated by us. Help us in this way,
and you will render material aid in
assisting us to give you onetiof the
best county papers it is possible to
publish. -.s" 4ssa.A' - "-''"'
And, finally, please remember that
all delinquent subscriptions to this
paper that are not attended to by
Oct. LIST, next, must be dropped from
The Times list. Please attend to such
obligation, if your subscription is de-
linquent, and assist us in meeting the
high cost Of material, while at the
same time keeping the subscription
price of this paper down tossyou. Let
us cooperate, one with the ether, and
in this way get the very best results,
at the least possible cost.
