iBy ERIC Fisher WoOd).
Eric Fisher Wood has fought in the war
for democracy. = He has fought in the
British army with the rank of major;
and he has battled with his pen, as ably
as on the field of action. From his ex-
periences in France he has written
The Note Book of an intelligence Of
ficer" The following is an excerpt on
phase of present-day warfare not
generally realized:
It has been said that the present con
fIict Is a lieuteuaHt's war and therefore
in the British forces the platoon leaders
are selected from the whole army for their
intelligence courage and ability to lead
men, and are not only taught to fill any
one Of the various positions in team work.
but they must also possess the Unborn
gift of teaching others.
Each lieutenant is required to train his
little band of followers when in camp. to
care for their bodily comforts in the field,
end to lead them in battle. He is teacher,
father and master to his men. He is
deus ex machina,
The lieutenant is expected to be the
bravast and most cheerful and most self
sacrificing individual in the platoon which
he commands. All along the line of
actual conflict between the opposing
armies, little bands of warriors are now
led much as the knights of old led their
followedTs. When on the battle front
each band is so isolated by the conditions
OF the conflict and by an ever watehfui
enemy that it often loses touch with
everything in the world except the pla-
toop upon it's right, and left Food and
water to sustain life and ammunition
with which TO carry on the fight comes

then carry them at a steady walk to with

fore giving the final order which culnii-
mates in the conclusive charge with the
rifle ard bayonet
Cd When the decisive moment arrives
he must inspire his men by the example
of his own bravery. He also carries a
rifle and bayonet and Is expected, to do
more fighting and kin more Huns than

tenders having been conquered. he must
reconstruct the platoon, which has tenn

mob. and then proceed to the attack OF

A definite idea of the high standard to
which the platoon commander Is ex-
pected to attain. may be gathered from
the following list of orders emhstiied in

PROTECTION Is GIVEN
MANY GAME BIRDS

Protection throughout the year has
been afforded certain species OF birds
which have become greatly reduced in
numbers.
The sage grouse has been protected
for several years in Idaho, New Mexi-
co, Nevada, Utah and in District 4. in
California, over an area including
nearly half of the present range of the
species.
Quail have been protected for sew
eral years in Idaho Iowa, Nebraska
and Ohio; prairie chickens in Idaho
Iowa and Oklahoma; wild turkeys in
Oklahoma: doves and plover in Ne
brasEa, and all shore birds, except
jacksnipe, in California.
A very general effort has been made
on the part of the states to conform their
laws with the Federal regulations
and on the part of the Canadian Prov
inces to bring their laws into harmony
with the provisions of the treaty.
In 81 states the open season on wa
terfowl has been made uniform and
seasons on other birds have been
brought into practical harmony with
the Federal regulations, The most
important of these changes was made
in Arkansas. Colorado, Nebraska Ok
lahoma, South Dakota and Tennessee,
where shring shooting of waterfowl
and shore birds, formerly permitted, is
now entirely prohibited.
