half of the committee minority. 1t was
signed by all the Democrats except
Senator Shields, who voted for three
of the majority reservations in COM
mittee
Delay in handling the treaty in the
committee is criticised in the report,
which asserts that the majority
''locked" the treaty up and engaged
in unnecessary considerations of mat

gone conclusion" -.

the majority report, that whatever
changes were made in the treaty could

port, asserts that the conference has
acted finally on the treaty and has
no mems of compelling Germany to
send delegates to Paris to reconsider
it.
The report asserts that for the
United States to amend or reject the
treaty will mean that it will sacrifice
all the concessions obtained from Ger
many by a dictated peace Twelve
concessions are cited, including mat
ters of industrial and economic inl-
portance.
The reservations proposed by the
majority, the report says, are designed

reservations" it is added, "they are in
fact alterations of the treaty.
AS to the amendments, the minority
argues that, if adopted. they will isane

Maryland Has Game Propagation Farm

Maryland Has Game Propagation Farm
Annapolis
With the opening of the Gwynnbrook
Game Propagation farm, Maryland
takes it's place with A sister states in
nationwide movement to restock
with desirable game With probably
a net revenue of $4,000 annually from
the Statewide Gunners' License law,
1t is possible, not only to take vigorous
steps to preserve existing game but
to increase it.
The game farm recently acquired by
State Game Warden E. Lee le Compte
for the state is ideally located and,
with 290 acres of woodland, meadow
and farmland, gives ample scope for
the plans contemplated In spite of
being probably not over Is miles from
the city, it is already well stocked with
game naturally. There are many
coveys of partridges and rabbits there
while the vicinity has always been
popular for other varieties of game
The first step constructively is to
post the land so that, from now on,
there will be no shooting there and
the next step will be to provide al dog
and cat-proof fence IL feet high to
keep out both two-footed and four
footed maurauders and to keep the
game inside. The place is being culti-
waited by the Mosner Brothers who
bear a splendid reputation in that
neighborhood and should be retained
in that capacity and to cooperate
with those in charge of the game
propagation. Feed for the birds may
be raised there and in the vicinity in
quantities. The buildings on the prop.
erty will have to be renovated and
habitations provided for the game
keepers as well as farmers and suit
able pens provided for the scheme of
breeding. Gwyns Falls runs through
the property not only providing water
TOR the wild things but inviting to
fish culture which will be tried along
the most modern lines
A good start will be gotten through
cooperation with similar game farms
in other states. New Jersey has two.
At Forked River, Ocean county, N.
J., 10000 ring=neck pheasants are be-
ing raised. A vigorous effort will be
made to propagate these pheasants
at Gwynnbrook. The Forked River
farm has become so famous that from
al parts of the country men interested
in game conservation are now visiting
the farm along the shore road north of
Barnegat and Atlantic City.
All Of the pheasants were Matched
from the eggs Of birds that live in a
semi-wild state in the parks on the
farm. For several weeks these pleas
ants will roam at liberty and have
as much freedom as if they were
hatched in the wild. but they will be
fed with far more regularity.
