DUCK HUNTERS ASK
LEGISLATURE'SAD
Long Island Laws Conflict
With Federal Regulations
One-half Month Cut OFF.
STATUTES BEwILDERING

Despite the fact that the New York
Legislature has at times made attempts
to make the state statutes on migratory
game birds uniform with the Federal
regulations, the laws conflict to tho be-
wilderment OF tho gunner.
The Federal regulations say that no
State may open the season earlier or
close the season later than the regu-
laeions permit. States may give add
tional protection, however. by opening
tho season later and closing 1t earlier,
In which case the State laws are to be
observed.
The Federal regulations say hunting
10 permitted from half an hour before
sunrise to sunset. The state law says
birds must not be taken except after
sunrise and before sunset. Thus the State
law prevails.
The Federal regulations permit the
taking OF waterfowl Except wood duck,
elder duck and swami. coot, gallinules.

rails. black belhed. and golden ployers

Turner May BE Disciplined.

Surface indications point to the prob
ability that Jack Dempsey Ia the victim
Of incredible treachery by one of his
own sparring partners. 1t will be re-
uembered that Dempsey had an oppor-
tunity to meet Battling Levinsky In a
six round bout in Ebbets Field for the
Knights OF Columbus war fund. and de-
clinSd without giving any convincing
reasons.
According to a story that was whis-
pered about, Dempsey, seeing few oppo-
nents In sight who would draw money
to the box once, decided to save"
Levinsky for a future bout where the
gate receipts would be satisfactory. It
u declared that the business manager
OF the Dempsey encourage was In nego-
tiation with Levinsky's representative
as to match In the near future and
that such contest practically was
ASSURED.
Then came Clay Turner. spaSrins
partner OF Dempsey. and signed for a
bout with Levinsky. which was con-
tested In Jersey City last Monday night.
The terrific beating that the Indian gave
Levinsky reduced the latter's value as
an opponent OF Dempsey to the vanish
ing point In fact. Levinsky would not
now be considered by any matchmaker
as At opponent for Dempsey.
The action OF Turner in thus damas-
ing a prospective victim OF Dempsey is
condemned in strong terms by all mem
bers Of the Journeymen Bruisers Asso-
! citation and It Is declared that he will
be fittinsly disciplined.
1t is limited that Turner may be COM
PEELED to get into the ring with Demp.
sey and thus make reparation for his
unclubby action.

The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-09-01

The manner in which Turner achieved
his victory over the light heavyweight
champion would seem to Indicate that a
new and formidable contender for the
heavyweight honors has arrived on the
scene turner's performance against
Levinsky was so much superior to his
work in previous bouts In this vicinity
that many find it dfflcult to account for
the reversal OF form.
There Is no mystery about II. Turner
probably at the behest Of a manager,
had been posing as middleweight. He
Is tall chap. but slender. and he has
been making from 1872 to 1855 pounds for
his bouts in this vicinity. The weight
was too low for him and he was unable
to box with any vigor
When he entered the ring with Levin
sky the Indian scaled ITS pounds and
still looked rather drawn. which goes to
prove that he soon will be full fedged
heavyweight AS a result Of permitting
himself 20 reach his natural weight Tur-
ner was strong as a lion. FULL OF vigor
and fought at top speed for eight rounds
He carried the fight to Levinsky all the
way and seemed strong and speedy at
the Anal gong The Battler was all but
exhausted.
1t Is not unlikely that Turner has
learned considerable about the fighting
game since he has been acting as spar
ring partner for Dempsey, and the ag-
gressiveness displayed by the Redskin
was not unlike that OF the man who
stopped Fulton In such short order.
Turner has shown clever, scientific
work as boxer. and his only drawback
has been a lack OF stamina. The Indian
has a piston rod left that seldom MISE
the mark and his right hook Is destruc-
tive. As he takes on weight and in
creases in vlgor he will make trouble In
the heavyweight class.

READINGS HIGH PRAISE
Americans Prompt Response
Turned Tide of War

The earl Of Reading, British am
bassadof to the United States, il
a lengthy statement to the press, de
tails Americas war work as he ha;
observed it during the last siz
months.
If speak in term of enthusiastic
admiration it is because none other
would convey my IDEAS" he says.
After discussing Americas
achievements in feeding the allies
and building ships. Lord Reading
continues:
10 no direction, however, is the
spirit of whole-hearted co-opera-
ton more striking than in the mag
ni6cent contribution of America
to the man power of the allies.
When in the grave anxieties of the
end of March, at the request of
the prime minister and the cabinet,
| asked the president to order
without delay acceleration of the
of American troops and
to allow them to be trained and
used with the British and French,
his answer was an immediate
whole-hearted assent. His only
as to numbers was the
capacity to carry them in.
1T was a historic moment, which
may in the future be regarded as
the turning point of the war Both
the British and French nations
we're quick to appreciate the spirit
Of this contribution. made so
and at so opportune
moment. 1t has proved of such
value that Marshal FocE has been
able to meet the great German
attack by an allied counter-of-
fenslve, and has not only wrested
the initiative from the enemy, but
has gained important victories"

FIRST FIELD ARMY
approximately I.2sO,OOO Ameri-
cans Under Pershing

Secretary Baker was formally
advised by Gen. Pershing that the
. first American field army has been
created. Gen. Pershing retains
command of the army as we'll as
Of the entire expeditionary force
for the present. The dispatch ad-
ded nothing to details of the army
organization already made known
from Paris, however, Mr.. Baker
said.
The announcement is regarded
at the war department Is having
deep significance, mainly because
it places the American army in
France on the same footing as
french or British forces there,
Formation of the army is taken
here to mean that the American
ization OF a definite portion of the
front has been completed. Supply
lines, railways, bases, storage facili-
ties, debarkation ports and the like
created and operated by Americans,
stands behind the first army. The
only statement of the location of this
American front is that it is south
of the Marine" Presumably this
means part at least of the long
line from St. Mihiel to the Swiss
border where American troops
have been put in at intervals during
the last few months.
The extent of that front has not
been disclosed, nor has the definite
strength of the army been given.
The adyices indicate that it COM.
prises, however, five full corps,
approximately 100000 men.
The effect ofthe taking over Of
the line is to make a definite be-
ginning at apportioning the long
front.

Took Huns Wheat

Over $4,000 acres Of fine wheat
was recovered by the allies from
the Germans when the enemy was
driven back in the recent allied
offensive, This region had been
planted by the French, but when
the German spring drive came
the French were driven off of the
land and their fields of wheat
were left to the enemy. The Ger
mans protected the crop and were
preparing to harvest it when the
allied push came. 1t is estimated
that the allies wilTget about / $780,
900 bushels from the reconquered
portions.

RIOTS IN JAPAN
Food Conditions Causes Much
Trouble

Food disturbances are increasing
in Japan. Social unrest grows and
economic conditions may partici-
pate very serious crisis. Rioting
has taken place in many sections
and civil authority is taxed to its
utmost to maintain any form of
peace and respect for law. The
war has increased Injuries of the
rich and usury of the poor in that
country.
The japanese are finding that
civilization has its drawbacks. For
the first time in its history the ma
ton is going through severe riot
ing.
The uprising it seems IS social
rather than political. 1t is in the
social realm that Japan has pro-
crossed least since it entered the
family of nations.
There has been a good deal of
complaint here in this country
about competition with theAow-
paid japanese. Evidently the Jap
anese laborers do not propose al
ways to be 'pauper labor"
One effect of this war will be no
doubt to make wages throughout
the world more uniform. The
workers of all the world have in
termingled and exchanged notes.
The crusades had but little effect
on the map of the world, but they
we're tremendously important in
bringing the peoples of the world
closer together. In the same way
this war is making peoples ac-
quainted, drawing them together.
1t will have unquestionably pro-
found influence on the condition.
of the workingmen in the more
backward countries. They will de-
mand a higher standard Of living.
They will not be content to be in
the condition of pauper labor.

NEWS OF WOUNDED
Quick and Exact Information to
Be Furnished Friends

Exact information concerning
wounded and sick American SOL
diers admitted to hospitals over
seas will be made Immediately
available to relatives or friends of
the men under plan being worked
out at the war department.
Secretary Baker said he had
visited the Office of Surgeon Gen.
Gorgas to look into the daily re-
ports from the hospitals with a view
to having them carded, caJalogued
and tabulated, SO that the most
instant information can be given
to all inquiries.
Hospital records, Mr.. Baker
said, will be brought here weekly
by courier from France, and thus
it will be possible to give the exact
nature of the wound or the dis
ease from which the men are suf-
fering. The information will be
available through the adjutant
general.
The task of installing the system
will be big one, but the war

2l-YEAR-OLDS
Saturday, August "a. the Day for
Their Registration

All young men. both white and
colored, throughout the nation who
have become 81 years of age since
June 5, 1918, the date of the last
registration, must register Satur-
day, August "a, according to in
structions received from the war
department.. 1t is estimated there
will be 10000 youths registered
On that date.
The object, according to the an
nouncement, is to "replenish the
almost exhausted class men in
anticipation of the September
calls" AS congress has not yet
passed the law making it a re-
quisite for men from Is to IS, in-
elusive, to register on September
5, in many places there are not
enough class l men to Gil quotas.
There will not be many to regis
ter in Carroll county, but perhaps
a few have attained their majority
in that time.
