Bears Peel Bark For Sap.

Forest rangers report that bears
have done considerable damage to
young timber in the Upper Wind
River Valley, on the Columbia Ma
tional Forest, by peeling the bark for
the sap The trees attackd range
from four to twelve inches in diam
eter, and the damaged portiin is us
ually near the ground. Occasionally
Mr.. Bear shins up larger tree and
peels out the top and branches
Douglas fir. white fir, western white
pine, and lodgepole pine are attacked
Unfortunately; while western yell
low pine and hemlock occasionally
receive attention.
Ranger H. j. Lickel, of euler
Washington, has observed the peel
ing of bark on young growth by bears
for eight years. He says:
MIR. Bear peels the trees only
when the sap is running, and his
reasons for doing so are very appar
ent. All sap contains more or less
sugar, of which bears are very fond
Therefore it is natural that he should
peel trees to get the sweet taste, just
as his two-legged brother taps the
maple for the sugar.
After stripping off the bark, the
bear licks the inside if the bark and
also the peeled trunk of the tree until
the sap is gone. Then he hunts an
other tree The damage done this
way ranges from mere scratches to
the peeling of several square feet of
bark.
| Sometimes the trees are COM
pletely girdled, in which case they
soon die. In other cases, where the
girding is not complete, the trees ex-
ude coat of pitch over the scar
making fine fuel for the first fire that
comes alcng. which either burns the
tree down or leaves 'cat-face.'
"The fresh wounds made by the
bears also offer pint of attack for
fungi anG inescts."
In travelling one mile through sec
ond growth timber where bears were
plentiful, Ranger Lickel observed
NOR than one hundred fresh scars
made by the animals in their quest
for sap.

New L. S. Army Rifle Shows Improve.
ments Over Other Models.

The United States rifle, model of
1917, commonly called the modified
Enfield, has now been tested in the
service of the Army sufficient time
to warrant the assertion that it more
than justifies the claims made for 1t,
according to statement authorized
by the Secretary of War
The new rife takes a .30-caliber
cartridge, which has the advantage
over the British Enfield of being rim
less. 1t has been found that unless
rim cartridges are fed through the
magazine uniformly with the rim of
the top cartridge ahead of the rim Of
the one Immediately below, jams are
likely to occlf.
The model of 1917 has an overall
length of 46.3 inches; total weight
including oiler and thong case and
bayonet of 10 pounds and ounces.
The breech mechanism is of the old
bolt type.

Paris, April S.-Heavy fighting took
place in the Oise and Somme regions
but all the powerful German attacks
Saturday were repealed by the French
troops, except on the left bank Of the
Disc, where the French were forced to
withdraw to positions previously pre-
pared, according to the war office a II
nouncement.
The Germans are continuing their
plunging tactics in the Amiens battle
area, with their operations rapidly de-
veloping into a greatly magnified Yer
dun.
The similarity with the classic e
ample of a German attempt to beat
down an enemy by sheer force Is
daily growing. This development OBJ
trudes itself because of the narrow
ing of the area involved in the attack
and the practice of hurting great
masses of troops at the defenders of
a narrow front, regardless of sacri-
fees.
Saturday, the main attack was de-
livered on the allied center, after the
blow launched south of the Somme on
Thursday and that driven in to the
north of the river on Friday, had spent
themselves.
Field Marshal Haig's report says
that a German attack on the British
lines opposite Albert Saturday was re
pulsed and that British counter at

London, April l0.-David Lloyd
George, the British prime minister.
Tuesday made the boldest stroke OF
his career by coupling home rule for
Ireland with the CONSUMPTION of Irish
men.
This unexpected disclosure in an ad-
dress by the premier in the House OF
Commons in presenting the new con-
scrip,ion bill to Parliament swept
aside all interest in the details OF the
CONSUMPTION scheme, which already
had been forecast by the newspapers.
Joseph Devlin, speaking in the
House of Commons, warned the gov
eminent that it was entering upon Il
course of madness if it endeavored to
enforce conscription in Ireland. Ire
land, he said, never had been consult
ed on its Willingness to pay this blood
tax.

OF the battle on the west front, Pre-
mier Lloyd George declared in the
House of Commons, in referring to the
dramatic assistance rendered by Pres
ident Wilson.
The issue of the great battle might
well be determined, Mr.. Lloyd George
declared, by the dramatic interven-
ton Of President Wilson and his &C.
ton in placing the American troops
at the disposal of the allies. 1t was
impossible to overestimate the Presi-
dents offer, as the battle might very
well be the decisive struggle of the
war.
The British reserve, Mr.. Lloyd
George said further, had been drawn
upon to a considerable extent to
max up for wastage. If the battle
continued on the same scale the drain
on man power must cause anxiety.
