ALL GAME LAWS
STILL IN EFFECT

Every law dealing With the prutec-
ton OF the inland fish and game Of the
State Of Maine that was on the Statute
books on July I, 1917, is still in effect.
Further than that every one of these
laws will he enforced. The adjustment
Of the old commissioners of inland
fisheries and Game and the creation OF
the new office of commissioner of in
: land fisheries and game have not III the
least changed the status Of the Statutes
Of the State
/. This formal announcement by Gov
ernor Carl T. Milhken was made this
( forenoon. 1t was occasioned by the re-
4 ceipt of numerous letters from all over
Maine and by inquiries from all sec
tons regarding the status of the inland
fish and game laws.
There seems to be an impression
throughout some sections of Name
said Governor Milliken, That the
opera ton of the game laws has been
suspended: in other words. that it is
perfectly legal to kill as much game or
any kind of game as a person may wish.
I Nothing could be further from the true
situation.
The laws are in effect just as strong
! ~ as ever. The only situation that has
developed is the lack of head to the
inland fisheries and game department.
With the passing of the old commits
! sioners Of inland fisheries and game, all
\ tie old wardens ceased TO hold office.
No new wardens can or will be APP
/ pointed until new commissioner of in
land fisheries and game takes office.
4 In the meantime, however. the fish
and game laws of the State will be en-
I forced. Arrangements have been made
I with the sheriff in each county to have
I his deputies look after the enforcement
I Of the game laws in addition to their
regular duties. In addition to that, if
| il is found necessary, more deputy sher-
/ ifs will be appointed for this purpose.
| The attorney general of the State, if
need be will also place the force Of his
I Office into action to see that the laws
are enforced. Just because there are
no wardens, it should not be supposed
there are no laws. All the law of tie
State has is there and this law will be
rightly enforced"

G"Nrinor Carl T.. Milillcn FRIDAY
afternoon made the following state
Nent in relation to u carload Of coal
being delivered at the residence of his
father Charles a. Millikcn, on Vest
ern avenue Thursday.
mo mention Of tho carload of coal
coming to my father was made to me
by Mr.. Manlcy or the fuel commit
tee or anyone else until late Thurs
day night, when was taking the train
for Boston. \ newspaper reporter then
asked nc about the protest that HAD
been sent by Mr.. Manlcy and the 9TH
a members To Mr.. IlamIen, the State
fu"I administrator. at Portland. ] told
Toe reporter that the coal was ordered
lbs, summer, that it had been ordered
lN my father and that it was deliV-
cred Thursday. Beyond this said
knew nothing about the case and
never had the matter brought TO my
attention 10y anyone else.
II now make this suggestion to MI.
M3nlcY: 1t is that a complete coal
census be taken OF Augusta and that
the exact amount of coal in the pos
session of private citizens and deal
ers he asccrtaincd. Then, if there
seems to be surplus held by any
one, whether dealer OF householder. the
committee shall take this surplus and
distribute it wherever it may be most
needed if there is any actual short
age.
such an Arrangement | should vel
come and in it | should be glad to do
my share. Nothing is further from
my desire than to have nNself or any
member of my family enjoy any great
er privileges than anyone else"

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. June i.-How
the Mexican crisis OF two months ago
was passed Is a story can tell you to-
day. All the Kaiser's 5000 agents IN
Mexico stacked their campaign OF anti
American intrigue on being able to
trick Carranza into a belief the United
States was planning 10 make a sec
ond Belgium OF his harassed country.
Their scheme called for the creation
OF as much disturbance along the Dor
der raids they could instigate we're 70
be exploited In the United States ard
Mexico In such a way as 10 create the
maximum OF hatred IN each country.
German sold made certain the ex-
ploltation OF these disturbances in
Mexico with all the strength desired
by Hun spies and propagandlsts. These
same German agents relied on the
American exploiters OF Mexico 10 use
bandit raids for the purpose OF bring
ing about Intervention, under cover OF
which they could resume their prof.
tcering below the border.
Every vile Of the Hun press agent
IN the United states was used 20 create
az much anti-Carranza criticism as pos

The object OF this intrigue was "a

send an insulting note 10 President
