|IRAP m%, FIELD i F1 44

Many spOrtsmen are prOnte to over looks one very important detail fo their otherwise carefully prepared plans for the annual hunting trip that of knowing their gun.
 How often do we hear the story of the big moose with the record head that continued it's headlong rush through the underbrush be- cause the hunter had shot too high or too low. That is, he had aimed well enough but his 1000 or so feet per send missile had passed harm lessly by it's intended victim. Thus $1,000 trip had come to naught and prize head remained at large.
 Iris said that most big game is shot within a distance of 200 yards Modern big game rifles with their flat trajectories and repeating mech anisms have placed every advantage in favor of the man behind the gun Yet the fact remains that the per centage of misses in the game field remains appallingly large.
 In Inch Is Everything
 Taking into consideration that it is often necessary to take quick shot in bad light at a rapidly moving deer, moose or caribou, half hidden by trees or underbrush, it is only reasonable to suppose that the pos sibility of shot in vital part of the game is one of chance.
 But a large degree of success in big game or small game shooting, for that matter, lies in the confidence which the sportsman has in his gun The real sportsman takes the trou ble to target his rifle by firing shots at 50, 100, 150 and 200 yards in order to ascertain the correct elevation for the various distances.
 True, with modern high velocity and consequent flat trajectories the variation in striking point is a mat ter of inches only, but nevertheless many a lordly moose or majestic caribou would not now be roaming it's wilderness home had certain bullet been an inch higher or lower.

ALL COMFORTS
 OF LIFE FOUND
 IN HUN DUCOUTS
Tennis Courts and Running Water, Furniture and Electric Lights
 Were There.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN THE FIELD, Oct. 31.-All the comforts of home, with some added luxuries, were found in the dugouts and living quarters which the Ger mans were forced to abandon when the American troops smashed through the St. Mihiel salient and took the territory which the Ger man Army had occupied for four years.
 Running water, electric light, steam heat, tennis courts, bowling alleys, swimming pools, pianos and wine cellars were some of the up- to-date convenienees which Uncle Sans "moppers-up" that followed the heels of the rushing American soldiers found in some of the quar- ters of the German officers.
 The more elaborate quarters were located in the thickly-set woods which abound in this part of France and most of them represent ed the work of four years. The majority of them were of elabo- rate rustic construction and usually had shell proof shelters connected with them Furniture and decora- tions taken from the French inhab- itants of neighboring villages form ed the principal interior equipment One of the most unique of these officers quarters was located in the little village of EuveZin, about 20 miles from Metz. There were two tiers of rooms with broad balconies in front and all lighted by elec- tricity. In the lower floor was an elaborate sitting room, containing richly upholstered furniture, a pi- ano, oil paintings, inlaid tables and beveled mirrors. This apparently was the headquarters of high of ficer flor in it were many maps plans and a. telephone switchboard Outside was bowling alley and q small swimming pool.
 At one side was winecellal well stocked with apple-wine, beel and other beverages dear to the German heart. Immediately ad- joining was shell proof dugOut 40 feet deep and capable of holding SO men. Next to this was shoe makers hut where a number oi women's shoes and slippers were found, indicating that the German; had women in their trenches.

 miles around.
 Everything was confusion. Uni-
 forms, rifles, pots, dishes, books, and all kinds of military paraphernalia
 were heaped about everywhere, indi- eating that the Germans had fled in great haste.
 That the Germans expected to occupy this territory for a lona time is shown by the character of their trenches. In many cases, these were of concrete and equipped with almost as many cOnveniences as a dwelling house. Some of them had running water, telephone communi-
 cation, heating stoves and piped drainage.

WHISKEY DISAPPEARS

While Government agents were searching assiduously for 250 quarts of whiskey taken from a confiscated shipment of liquor in barrels marked "chipped soap" on the steamship Governor, of the Pacific Steamship Company, Tuesday morning, 100 emp ty quart bottles put in an appearance on the company's dock yesterday morning This discovery was made by Government agents, says the Sc attle Post-Intelligencer.
 For a time it was thought thai eight quarts over and above the 200 were to be classified in the casualty list, but it was learned that one ol the men of the customs departmen' had taken possession of these stra! ones and locked them up in the de partment warehouse for safe keeping
 What interests the Government agents just now is who drank the liquor.

Don't Rely on City
For Coal, Says Day

Jonathan G.. Day, Commissioner of
Markets, advised everybody yesterday
to have patience and rely upon his reg
ular coal dealer for next winters sup
ply. The Department of Markets, Mr..
Day continued, expected to have no
coal whatever before next month, al
though it hopes to complete the con-
templated storage of coal before
Christmas. Reports of the United
States Fuel administration showed a
considerable let-down in production at
the coal fields. Mr.. Days statement, in
part, follows:
"The coal men are not procrastinat-
ing. They are not camouAaging. I
utmost to get coal and to fill their
orders.
"The Commissioner of Markets wants
it known to the city and to all coal
consumers that the only thing he is
trying to do is to supplement the ef-
forts of the coal men. If he can aid
them in getting their supply of coal,
he is going to do that.
"The Department of Markets will not
begin getting any coal, even for stor-
age, before July. This storage will be
completed before the Chistmas holi-
days If the arrangement now made is
carried through, and just as soon as
coal begins to arrive orders will be
taken care of. But all people who have
placed their orders in former years
with coal dealers will have to get their
coal this year through the same chan
nels if possible"
The report of the fuel administra-
tion attributed the decrease in coal
output in part to the observance of

Since The New York American" de-
lefed the victory prayer from the Presi-
dents Memorial Day proclamation. citi-
ze1.s OF great many towns, in various
states, have stopped buying Hearst
newspapers. Bradley Beach is tho first

Hunt for Russian
Je.uels Continues

WASHINGTON, June 12.-It was
said at the State Department that the
first information received there that
Evans had severed his connection with
the legation at Copenhagen was when
he arrived in this country. He was
appointed last December from Texas.
Officials Of the State Department de-
MED knowledge of any connection of
an attache of the American legation
Jewels into the United States. It is
believed, however, that inquiries con-
corning the Stockholm attache may be
made of the State Department by Gus
toms officers who are still at work
upon the smuggling plot. The wife of
the Stockholm attache, who is in this
country, is said to have received Jew
els. Two pearl necklaces that are be-
lieved to nave started upon their sur
reptitious journey to the United States
are not to be found.
Montetiorc G. Kahn and Vladimir
Jogelson, were arrested in New York
two weeks ago when the steamship
Hellig Olav docked in connection with
an alleged plot to smuggle the Russian
crown jewels into this country. After
the bail of Kahn and Jogelson had
been reduced. jewels valued at more
than $150,000 were recovered, it is
said. There is report that an Ameri-
can official in Russia is involved.
The crown jewels of Russia, said to
be valued at 100000, have been a
since the revolution. Months ago it
was said that the Czarina had sent
them by. special messenger to her
brother, the Grand Duke of Hesse, sub
stituting paste limitations in their hid

Several days before the Englewood
newsdealers barred Hearst papers from
their stands, Hearst agents learned of
their intention and came from New
York to prevent it. According to the
reports of the local dealers to city Of

But despite the prospect of having

perhaps the only thing that pre-
vented the Hearst agents from making

order to distribute papers in Englewood
they must have a pedler's license.
They will never get licenses if can

Rutherford Citizens
May Run Stand to
Bar Hearst PaDcrs

RUTHERFORD, N. j., June 12.-The
refusal of the Passaic Newsdealers'
Association to discontinue the sale of
Hearst newspapers has apparently
made Rutherford citizens more deter
mined than ever to keep the Hearst
publications out of their city.
Rutherford is at the edge Of Passaic,
and members Of the Passaic Newsdeal-
ers' Association control the news
stands in Rutherford. Members Of the
association have assumed the position
that selling newspapers is a matter
Of business with them, and they will
continue to sell Hearst's publications
as long as there are customers for
them.
w. l.. Crandall, resident of Ruther-
ford, who is in business at 346 Broad
way, asserted yesterday that the at
titude Of the newsdealers of Passaic
had only given impetus to the move
ment to bar Hearst journals from
Rutherford. He predicted that Ruth
erford citizens would have news
stand not selling Hearst papers which
they could patronize, if they had to
start one themselves. In the mean
time, he reported, citizens were using
every means to keep down the sale OF
those publications at the stands which
have refused to discontinue their dis
tribution.
Mr.. Crandall to-day set out to place
this message into the hands OF every
| Rutherford citizen:
ITO the citizens of Rutherford:
"Our local newsdealers continue Ia
offer for sale the Hearst publications
which repeatedly have been charged
with printing un-American articles and
even accused of being more or less

Dispatch Box From Copen.
hagen Legation Found
in His Room
By BRIGGS

DALLAS, Tex, June 12.-Silliman
Evans, Texas newspaper man and for
mer clerk in the American Legation at
Copenhagen, was remanded to Jail
late to-day in default of $4,000 bail
after having been IN custody Of
Federal officers since Tuesday on
charges of smuggling. A small box
bearing the Copenhagen iegation seal seal
for which Federal authorities have
been searching in connection with
the suspected smuggling of Russian
crown jewels into this country. was
found to-day in Evans's apartments.
The box, it is said, contained several
undellvered letters addressed to vari-
Gus governmental departments at
Washington. Evans's hearing was set
for June "a.
Evans went to Copenhagen last De-
cember in the capacity of clerk to the
legation. Owing to i'll health. he re-
signed and only recently returned to
Dallas. Judge Barry Miller, counsel
for Evans, said to-day his client is
desirous Of returning to New York
Immediately to assist the government
in the alleged smuggling case. To
that end he urged that his clients hear
ing be advanced as much as possible.
Evans, according to Federal officials,
admits he met on the boat coming to
New York one of two men now under
arrest in the East in connection with
the Russian crown jewels smuggling
case, and became friendly with him. He
has no knowledge of that case, he says.
Judge Miller issued the following
statement in behalf of Evans:
"The arrest of Mr.. Evans in Dallas
was caused by the filing of warrant
in New York City. When he left Co
penhagen to return to the United
States an attache in the Office asked
him to bring box to the United
States, the box to be left in Washing
ton. When Mr.. Evans arrived in New
York, in the rush of getting back to
Texas, the box was checked with his
other baggage to Texas, and it was
through carelessness that the box has
not been sent on to Washington. Mr..
Evans did not open the box-does not
know now and did not know when the
box was handed to him what it con-

sought to stir up hatred in America
for our British ally, and which opposed
the sending of American troops to

"Are you pro-Hearst?
"Are you pro-German
"Or are you with Uncle Sam?'
Mr.. Crandall said that he and other
Rutherford citizens feel that the ac-
tion Of the Passaic Ncwsdealers' Asso-
citation was achieved by the pro- Ger
man element in this part of New Jer-
sey.
"And that" stated Mr.. Crandall,
"makes US all the more determined to
have a newsstand not selling Hearst
papers.
"The question of starting a news
stand of our own will be taken up at
an early meeting of citizens. The
stand could be run for the benefit of
the Red Cross. The 100 per cent
patriots of this ci% could buy their
papers there"
