ECHO MAS0N'S COMMENTARIES VERY AMUSING
FROM SUNDAYS DAILY

An interesting echo of the recent account by J. W. Mason of the va. riety of reasons why registered men seek to avoid military service. and his eloquent tribute to those who are ready for duty. Is found. says an exchange. in the following letter, it evidently being from "vun haluva fiter":

|DAN MORENCY
 IS SENTENCED

In the district court yesterday af. ternoon Daniel Morency, the youth full burglar, was up for receiving sentence. In pronouncing sentence Judge Bunnell gave the prisoner a nice talk on his future and the bene- fits he would receive from his con- fnement in the institution to which he will be sent. The judges talk was listened to with great interest by both the boy and those in the court room. Few could realize that sentence was being pronounced, so full of kindly interest and guiding words was the talk preceding the sentence.
 The sentence pronounced by the court was as follows:
 On the first count, to serve three years in the Colorado Industrial School at Golden, Colorado; on the second count, the sentence to con tinue from the expiration of the first until December 31, 1923, on which day would occur the twenty first birthday of the boy.

 She made her report to the Am erican consul here, and it has been forwarded to the American state de partment for action. The British representative here was also notified of the arrest of many English citi zens.

BAKER PLEASED
 WITH WHAT HAS
 BEEN ACHIEVED

ABOARD A SPECIAL TRAIN IN FRANCE, Mar. 16.-Secretary Bak- CTS first work after a series of con- ferences with French statesmen and American generals has been first hand study of what the Americans have been doing and what they ought to do in France. He says that he is still absorbed in this task and will be several days longer than he had at first thought it would require.
 The immensity of the task which confronts the Americans in opening up new ports. he declared was far beyond any conception which he had been able to form. He also stated that he was we'll satisfied with what has been done and has no criticism to make.
 The secretary has not yet made any inspection of the American camps at the front. but will go there in short time. He Is thoroughly inspecting all American property wherever he goes.

 IN FUTURE TO
 BE STRINGENT
Juneau, Alaska. Mar. IS.

Juuedu, AldSkd, MAT. 10. Luther c. Hess, Food Administrator
 Fourth Division, Fairbanks, Alaska.
 Herbert Hoover, head of the Food Administration wires all food ad- ministrators as follows:
 "'In view of the absolute neces- sity of further conservation of wheat and wheat products. the entire coun- try must adopt the flfty-fifty plan for the sale of flour and flour sub stitutes-using as substitutes only those on original official regulations. We appreciate that some states will have difficulty in finding substitutes, but this simply means that wheat or wheat products should be sold only to the extent that there are available substitutes to equal weight, thus re- sulting in the conservation of wheat for our allies. We wish to empha- size the fact that our more abun- dant supplies should be used instead of our less abundant breadstuff'
 This telegram indicates an acute situation and the great necessity for the conservation of wheat, but in view of your isolation from the mar kets, and your limited supply of substitutes, you will enforce until further notice, at Fairbanks and sur rounding towns, the requirement that dealers shall not sell wheat flour to any person unless such person purchases from him AT THE SAME TIME one pound of substitutes for each five pounds of wheat flour. Deal CTS should distribute their flour equit- ably among their customers so that none receives more than his fair share. Dealers should also look for ward and prepare for more rigid enforcement of the regulations gov erning the sale of flour in the interi- or as soon as substitutes can be obtained.
 "The coast of Alaska is now under the fifty-f1fty rule and no sales of wheat flour are permitted when sub- stitutes are exhausted.
 ROYAL A. GUNNISON, Federal Food Administrator for Alaska"
 The above telegram was received by L. c. Hess, food administrator for the Fourth division, yesterday, and all local merchants are asked to follow out the terms of the mes sage to the letter.

FOOD VALUE OF MUD HEN" NOW
 IS RECOGNIZED

SACRAMENTO, Feb. l6. -- Int California State Fish and Game Com
 mission launched an extensive pub licity campaign in favor of the mucf
 maligned "Mudhen" as means O food conservation.
 According to the commission. tn, common coot or "Mudhen" already has established itself as a valuable bird in the south and parts of thu east, but in the presence of so great a supply of more choice wildfowl thus far has failed to find genera recognition in California.
 Realizing that only through wide
 publicity could the people be made
 familiar with the many good food:
 that annually go to waste, the State
 Board has been stimulating all pos sible use of birds that most hunter. throw away.
 The worst thing about the Mud hen" Is it's name, and the prejudice
 that this has built up against 1t according to the board.
 Leading hotels have served then
 as water chicken" and as "tulec hen" Known south as "Poule d'Eau'
 and served a la Creole. they attained a more local fame in New Orleans.
 Mudhens are perhaps better relish
 ed by their French name which is
 more truly descriptive of their habits
 as they are a water bird rather thar
 a mud frequenter. Their diet is identical with that of ducks.
 In general they are to be handled like rabbits in preparation for the table. Stews are the general method of cooking: but those willing tt pluck fat ones can roast them and have a bird little inferior to a ducl
 except milder in flavor. Soaking tht
 birds several days in cheap clare imparts a most delicious flavor. ant is a method followed by some of the
 most celebrated cooks. one of whom
 has been serving mudhens in his
 cafe for nearly twenty years in Los
 Angeles as "Salmi of Duck" delight ing thousands who never suspected that they were eating the same mud hen that had been left to lie before their guns as supposedly worthless.

IDAHO TOWN IS
 UNDER CONTROL
 OF HOME GUARD
Associated Press)


 ST. MARES. Ida. Mar 16.-This city is quiet tonight under the guard of regular soldiers aided by the home guard organization of Sand Point. The city is in complete control of the military authorities as the result of the recent I. w. w. uprising against the local peace officers.
 The county council of defense to. day took a hand in the trouble and will root out all disloyalty and pun ish pro-Germans and disloyal Ameri- cans. The Industrial Workers of the World, who have caused all the trouble. are being investigated, and those under suspicion are not to leave the city, all passports being refused them.
 The soldiers are patroling all the streets of the city and guarding i'm portant buildings to prevent any damage from possible outbreaks. The home guardsmen are rounding up the I. w. w.
 AS 8 means of getting a line upon every I. w. w.. the county council of defense has devised a registra- tion card upon the back of which Is printed an oath of allegiance to the government. Every man whose loyalty there is reason to question is forced to sign this oath. Thirty nine suspected Industrial Workers have already been forced to sign the oath.
 Until the registration Is completed, no suspected man will be allowed to leave the city. It has not been de- termined what to do with those who refuse to subscribe to the oath, but it is possible that they may be prose cuted for sedition and punished SC. verely.

DILLON STARTS ATTACKS UPON
 BRITISH AIMS
ccocta tad proSe,


 ENNISKILLEN, Ireland, Mar. 16.- John Dillon, successor to John Red. mond as leader of the Irish Nation alist party, aroused the wrath of thousands of people tonight when he denounced the British govern. ment as false and stirred anew the Irish dispute. Dillon was radical in his assertions and went further than 1t was thought possible for even him to go.
 He declared that the first task which falls to him as leader of the Nationalists is to tell England before the world that her statesmen must cease to talk of League for Peace" or pretend to carry on the war in defense of the liberty and rights of the smaller nations of the world without first setting free the nation that for 700 years has groaned un- der her misgovernment.
 Dillon was bitter in his denuncia. tion of the British government, but his treatment of the war question struck an unresponsive chord in the hearts of the great majority of irish. His attitude is in direct contrast to that of the fiery Redmond, who, while working with all his energy and genius to secure home rule for Ire. land, never faltered in his loyal sup. port of the war aims of the British government.
 Dillon's address was big surprise to all observers, as the party which he now heads stands committed to the war and its aims. It Is be. lieved here that he cost the Nation. alist party thousands of members by his rash assertions.

 The department has in contempla. tion the establishment of an aerial route between Washington, Philadel phia and New York, making, at this time. one round trip per day, which may later lead to expansion. The bids are to be opened at 2 o'clock on February 21. The con tract will be awarded to the bidder whose airplanes have stood satisfac tory service test in the War and Navy departments; the airplanes and parts to be delivered as may be designated by the Post office depart ment, at New York.
