On to Rhine Says FOch.

London, Sept. 25 = Marshal Foch,
commander in chief of the allied
armies, who dislikes interviews and
rarely grants one, received few
newspapermen at his headquarters on
Tuesday. Among those received was
the correspondent of The Telegraph,
who thus records the marshal's brief
utterances, made in an ejaculatory
manner with the use of hardly any
verbs: "The British army is better
than ever It fights better that ever
All of 81 lS,se been made good
and it. is a more spindid army than it
has been before.
THE Americans are splendid and
are wonderfully gallant in the field.
Ten Thousand fresh Americans arrive
in France every day
.The French army is the same good
old army that it was in 1914. No
more is to be said.''
In discussing the general situation,
the marshal said.
'sThe enemy is shaken up and shak-
EN- down, but is still holding out. You
must not think that we will get to
the Rhine Immediately. We have
passed over the crest and are now go
ing down hill. If we gather impetus
as we go, like rolling ball, so mucn
the better"
With few cordial words the marshal
then dismissed his interviewers and
resumed bis work on his maps.

ONE BUCK NOW LIMIT
New Ruling by Conservation
Commission Says Does
and Fawns Safe.

Satisfied that deer in Wisconsin will
become extinct this year unless con-
servation measures are made more
rigid, Commissioner w E. Barber of
the state conservation commission,
announces that orders are to be is
sued Wednesday night limiting hun
tiers this season to one buck with
horns The killing of faWns and does
will be prohibited. Of $4,000 deer
killed last season, two-thirds were
fawns and does, Mr. Barber said.
The commission has voted unanim-+
ously foraan open season on skunks
during the entire year, it being
pointed out that the animal is great
destroyer of ground nesting birds.
1t will be recommended to the leg
islature that the closed season on par
tridges, prairie chickens, woodcockss
etc, be continued for two more years.
These Birds Mr.. Barber said, are in
creasing and a nice hatch this year
makes the outlook encouraging.
Woodcock, though still very scarce.
are increasing. Under federal reguEa-
tion ducks have become plentiful, Mr..
Barber said, and a continuance of Leg
islation appears certain of restoring
this game.
The commission has held thirty
meetings this year and at the final
meeting Wednesday night all recon-
mendations WILDE ratified. The pro-
posed rulings of the commission, Mr..
Barber said, have been Endorsed by
sportsmen.
