SPORTSMEN ACCEPT
BIRD REGULATIONS
International Association
Iof Game Commissioners
Confer on Laws
WILL PUT STOP TO
SPRING SHOOTING

NEW YORK. Sept. ii-At the tenth
convention OF the International Asso-
citation Of Game and Fish Commission
eis, i'm session at the Waldorf yester-
day, Dr. E. w. Nelson, chief Of the
| Geological Survey of the u. 5. Depart
ment Of Agriculture, said that while the
new migratory bird regulations which
/ govern wild fowl md shore birds pinch
/ ed here and there, they were on the
whole well received by spOrtsmen in
all sections D. the country.
About one-halfCof the States now
have uniform statutes protecting these
birds and the Game Commissioners who
came. from the vsriOus States asked Dr.
Nelson for interpretations on various
sections Of the treaty, act and regula-
tions. Dr.. Nelson asked for the con-
tinued friendly cooperation Of the Of
ncials and said that it was the idea Of
the Biological Survey that the regula-
tions as a. whole work out the least
damage to all parts Of the country.
Concerning the non-sale of game
which is in effect now throughout the
United states he remarked I'VE nave
received many concentrations Of that
feature and | think it will work out
well for the benefit Of the sport, IN
fact for everybody except the pot
hunter"
In States where the laws conflict it
was not the intention OF the Federal
authorities that there should be
drastic prosecution of those who do
not know that there is such law, and
only wilful violators will be punished.
DR.. Nelson feels, however, that by the
end OF February, when wild fowl shoot
ing ends everywhere, so much pDllc-
ity Will have been given that Federal
can start in and stop spring
absolutely.
This year. for the first time, there is
no open time for the bobOlink along
tbe coast States from New Jersey to
Georgia. where under the old migra-
tory regulations it was customary 10
allow two months shooting FOR rice ana
reed birds. /.. !
DIR. Nelson pointed out that this bird |
has been regarded IS a destroyer OF
rice in certain sections Of South Caro-
lima. but that little or no rice planting
was done now i'm the Palmetto State,
and il there was destruction OF rice
,rops a clause in 'Ie law permitted the
secretary Of Agriculture to remedy
such conditions.
lie told with glee OF Delaware man
who visited him with letter showing
that The reed or rice bird does damage
TO rice crops in Texas, but the bird
called by this common name in TeNas
is the red wing or crow black bird,
and not the bobolink.
This led TO a decision later that the
Evening journal., 1918-09-14

Biological Survey should print and dis
tribute a pamphlet giving the common
names in all States Of game birds. The
Department already plans such pub
lication.
On the subject OF the bobolink, John
b. BurEhan., chairman Of the United
States Advisory Bard, pointed out the
added obligation there was concerning
the bobolink statute, it being part OF a
treaty with foreign country, but stat
ing that the bObOlink may become so
great in numbers through their non
shooting by spOrtsmen that they will
completely exhaust the wild rice crops
and may turn to grain crops and thus
become a menace.
DR.. Nelson also discussed the damage
done to rice last year in California,
where growers left their crops in the
fields for six weeks longer than usual,
when the ducks came down from the
north and ate the rice. Also the de-
struction in Arizona, Of grain fields by
doves lie cited these instances to show
the problems that the Biological Sur
Vey met with in framing laws to benz
Mt the spOrlsmen, adding 1--WE would
have to permit the destruction Of these
birds if they do great damage TO crops"
In the\ evening the visiting Game
Commissioners were the dinner guests
of the American Game Protective As
sOciation and tle National Association
of Audubon Societies. Talks on game
farms were given by John NJ. Cramp-
ton, Ernest Napier, Z. A. Quarles and
Theodore Bouault, followed with NOV
ing pictures. The conference will CON

was anything but pleasant the extreme
ly dreary day. coupled with the steady
downpOur of rain. about put the dam
per on fishing Nevertheless. some of
the more persistent ones took a long
chance and departed for the happy
hunting grounds. confidently expecting
the rain TO cease and the sun TO come
out later in the day. But such was not
the case and those who went fishing
came home with the anglers luck.
s-S-s-S
As the season begins TO wane, il also
brings about the best fishing for the
more gamey fish, notably the bass, pike
and crappie. The cooler air and conse-
quently cooler water makes the fish
more lively and an angler is more likely
TO come home with a good catch at
this time OF the year than at any other
time. As a result Of these conditions we
are looking forward to the members
landing some prize-winners for the
prizes offered by the association.

Il is with sorrow that we note that
the lake at High Bridge has been about
drained of all the water that it is pOssi-
bic 10 take from it. What is known
as the upper lake, joining the lower
one, has been drained altogether. This
lake contains some mighty fine speci-
mems of fish of all varieties, and II
this condition Of low water is to con-
tinue for any length Of time, some
thing should be done 10 protect the
fish. as they can be taken out OF the |
shallow water remaining by irrespon- /
sible persons and the consequence I
would be the ruination Of one OF this
sections most popular fishing grounds.
Let us hope there will be more water
in the lake shortly and that fishermen
in general try TO protect the fish at
this critical time.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.
Some Important Measures That Will
be Presented.

Some important Measures That Will
be Presented.
Ii Is expected that the seventy ninth
Maine legislature, which will convene
Wednesday, Jan. /, will rstify the pro-
hibitien amendment to the federal con-
stitution. Il was thought at one time
that the session would be brief one, but
present indications are that it will run
about the average time.
Measures looking for the State control
of water powers. enlargement OF the state
house or the erection of separate office
building, granting the right of suffrage to
women, the abolition OF town farms and
the creation in their stead OF county or
district slmshouses, a resident hunters
license law, amendments to the work
mems compensation act and the prohibit
ton Of the sale of LIMO or ''near" beer
are included in the matters which are to
be considered by the Legislature. Problems
justment period after the war will also be
taken up.
The act to provide for district or county
Hlmshouses was defeated by the last legis-
lature, but the proponents OF the idea
claim that the sentiment will be in favor
of it at the coming session. The State
board of charities and corrections, which
fsyors the proposed law, says that under
the proposed plan there would be a better
average distribution OF the cost among the
several communities composing The union
or district.
Not contest is in sight, in sharp con-
trast to two years ago, for the State offices,
the incum bents of which are elected by
the legislature. Attorney-General Guy II.

Frank W. Ball of Milo, State Treasurer

Hot Beef and Fried Onions Replace
Marie Antoinette and Louis
XVI History.

With the American Army In the Ar
g0nne.-A darky cook from Alabama
is turning out hot bully beef and fried
onions in Varennes in the ruins of the
inn where Marie Antoinette and Louis
XVI were captured by French peas
ants In their flight from the revolu-
tionists.
The old stone building itself had
fallen into decay long before this war
outs into its cellars and some sort of
a German headquarters was estab-
lished there until the terrific lombard
m { that preceded our greatest Of
fensive completely leveled the ruins.
Varennes itself fell to the Yankees a
few hours later as the Germans re-
treated TO the ridge of hills, beyond.
For a few days American tanks had
their headquarters in the yard sur
rounding the ruins. Then the tanks
moved up and colored laboring detach-
ments established headquarters in
Varennes while they smoothed over
shell holes In the roads. What was
ieIt OF one OF tne walls OF tne oiu Inn
struck colored cook as good lean
to against which he could protect his
fire from the wind and In a jiffy he
had his kitchen going.
Not a single building In yarennes
has roof. During the first four years
of the war the town escaped heavy
shellfire, though it was within easy
range of French artillery. But the
battering fire of our guns on the open
ing morning of the Argonne attack
and the response from German artil-
iery after we had captured the town
laid the old church In ruins. fiattened
out the modern dwellings along the
river and sent strong buildings in the
center of the town sprawling into de-
bris.

Government to Investigate Soil In
Washington County.
The United States Department of Agri-
culture promises to send to Maine q gov
eminent expert to investigate conditions
of soil in big tact OF land in Washing
ton county that ii is hoped will be taken
up by returned soldiers. This tract is what
is known generally as the Cherryfield
plains.
The eight men who, at the solicitation
of the Maine Agricultural and Industrial
League, visited Washington last week to
acqusint Secretary Lane with what agri-
cultural opportunities Maine has to offer
returning American soldiers. have returned
home enthusiastic over their reception
and the results Of their quest.
The party included Gov. Milliken,
Dean Leon s. Merrill OF the University
of Maine, DIR. e. ID. Woods OF the Maine
Agricultural Experiment Station, man
Agricultural and Industrial League,
Major II. A. Philbrook of the Maine de-
psrtment of agriculture, Traffic Manager
George S. Hobbs and Industrial Agent
William g. aunton of the Maine Central
and John A Mckay of Portland.
The pending act carries an appro-
priation of 800 ,0oo. 900, and the original
plan offered was to devote q considerable
portion OF it to retaining arid or SWAMP
lands and large areas of cut-over timber
lands throughout the United States.
| Secretary Lane, in the course of the in
terview, remarked that he was much
pleased at the showing of facts laid befor'
him by the committee in behalf Of Maine
and that Names agricultural INTEREST,"

tract mentioned, and to visit other part

He also promised that the question o
utilizing individual farms, in whicl
Maine seems to show special interest
will be carefully considered.
From the Office OF Secretary Lane tn

There will be no t'made in Ger
nanyn peace at Versailles. The rep
resentatives of the various countries
allied against Germany will meet and
fret decide territorial concessions
and financial reparation to be made
by Germany. The German delegates
will then be called in and informed of
the conditions imposed. There will
be no chance for argument; she must
take her medicine, or resume fighting.
But there is no fight left in her, and il
there were, almost stripped of navy,
munitions, guns and airplanes, and
with the allies occupying strategic
positions on German territory, she
would be speedily disposed of. Ger
many must swallow the dose. The
gathering about the peace:table will be
entirely different from that little dip
lomatic card party of which Germany
dreamed when she talked of a "peace
by understanding" There will be
no opportunity for Germany to win
by under the table dealing and cum
ming diplomacy what she lost at arms.
The cards will be stacked by the al
lies before she is allowed to sit in the
