the same ship, several of whom died with the flu
 There were fourteen ships in convoy and few sub destroyers went out three days from the states with us. Then some met us two or three days out from England. We landed at Liver pool, took the train there, went to Southampton and spent five days; then took boat there and went to Calais France, where we had camp sixteen miles south west of there 1 stayed there about three weeks then a part of our bunch went up to Belgium to an old German aviation field It was about half way between Bruges and Ghent. We were seven kiloneters from the lines, shells flew over us the first night. We also had an air raid on the camp one night, old Fritz dropped few bombs around the camp the first one hit pretty close. It seemed as though it raised me off of the bunk about six inches and it made hole in the ground fifteen feet across and six feet in depth.
 The first day we were here, three fellows dug them a dugout just big enough for three and the night they bombed the camp these three fellows ran for their dugout and when they got there there were nine already in it and it was dug just big enough for three. Some of the boys didn't get back until daylight next morning and it7was just 11:3O D. m. when they bombed us. I did not run for I didn't see any place to run. Those Dutchmen had the camp lit up as light as day. When we went to take the transport to come home we tray eled three days and nights in box cars and left St. Nazaire, France on the 29t.l of November. It took sixteen days to come back. We were on an Ild German ship that they called the Rhine. Since the l U. s. captured it they call it the Susquehanna. We wouldn't have been so long coming back but there was an eight day storm. We landed at Newport News, Va. Guess 1 had better quit as I am about to go to sleep. 1 am we'll and feeling fine. hope this letter will find all of you the same.

STATE GAME wARDEN'S IN
STRUCTEONS TO DEPUT1E,

There seems to he considerable CON
fusion regarding the trapping law;
First-As to what animals il is
necessary to have a license to trap.
Seeond-As to whether county game
v,a1eens have the right to enforce the
law providing for the licensing Of trap
pers
Tyhird-As to whether trapping
heenes shall he obtained.
The attorney general OF the state in
an opinion rendered on December is,
1918, says:
fWIhile the portion of the section
tlu01ed in in the form Of Z pr0vIsID II
seems apparent that II WAS intended
as an independent enactment, and tha1
j requires q license fee for the trap
ping Of all fur-bearing animals.
I'VE conclude, therefore, that tins
license fee of $500 is required for the
trapping OF any of the fu1-bearinp
animals not protected by the game
laws. This is, however, subject to ex-
eeptions as follows: First, coyotes,
nuBkrats. mink, skunk, marter, civet
cats, and wsasels may be killed with
out license al any time, and in any
manner, az the fifth prUvisio OF sec
ton % excerpts them from the opera
tiun of that section; and second the
animals mentioned in the second pro-
1-iAio OF the secuiBn may also he killed
Al any time OF in any place, without
the necessity of a license, for while
perhaps ali of these animals may be
classed Rs fui-besring animals, we do
not believe that the Legislature, acting
with knowledge that their extel'mina-
tiOn wRs encouraged by the payment
OF bounties, intended to hamper that
determination by requiring license
fee for the privilege of trapping
When the frr-beal'ing animals sub
iect to exemption as set out in the At
tofney Generals opinion be deducted
from our list of fru-bearing animals
n TINS state, ii viii be seen that the
principal ones are otter and fisher for
whose taking license is required Oh
course, there are other ful-bear,ing an
ifrlals whose names do not occur at the
moment for which license is required
f0r their trapping. in fact license
Is required for the trapping OF all fur
bearing animals save those specifically
excepted as enumerated in the Artor-
neg Generals opinion
I'm an opinion 10 myself as State
Game Warden on December ID. 1913
the Attorney General says:
In our opinion tine rame) warden
has authority to enforce laws p1Ovid-
ing for the licensing Of trappers of the
non-protected fuI-beal'ing animals"
Trapping licenses are .ubtainable
from the auditor of the county in
which the trappsr operates, at cost
OF $500 each. THESE Licenses are good
only in the county for which they are
issued-L. H. Darwin State Game
