ONLY HOPE OF SOME RUSSIANS
 IS RED ARMY

l VLADIVOSTOK, March 26 (Corres pondence of the Associated Press).- A Russian aviator who deserted the Red Guard army in January and flew into the lines of the All-Russian forces has described the conditions then pre-. vailing in soviet Russia to a member of the British mission here as follows: The soviet authority had national. ized all supplies including warm clothing which was being furnished only to the Red Army. The Bolshe wiki were carrying on agitation in all countries as Lenine's only hope for perpetuation of his control and of Bolshevism. Lenine and Trotzky were not in complete accord. Trotzky wished to restore much of the old military regime, including saluting and measure of discipline. Many Russian prisoners returning from Germany had joined the Red Army as their only chance to live
 The naturalization of women, he said was untrue. Some churches had been converted into theatres. Only the inteligentzia" went to church. Tkere were no private stores or shops; all were under the control of the soviets and purchasers had to show cards authorizing them to buy. Army officers had no distinguishing uniform but wore star on the cap. Officers of the old regime were com pelled to act as instructors in mili- tary schools, their work being strictly watched by "commissars" and their families held as hostages to guarantee satisfactory conduct.
 Power of the railway "commissars" was unlimited. Railways were badly operated. Employes spent much time holding meetings. There was no coal and little wood. Workmen drink all sorts of substitutes for vodka
 Moscow was well lighted but most cities and towns were inadequately lighted.
 Bolsheviki never entered villages or towns except in parties because of danger of attack upon them by leas- ants. They had a very active secret police organization.
 In Moscow bread cost 100 rublps g pound. Two hundred rubles rgA average charge of cab fare.
 The peasants would only accept the old issue of currency and would not have Kerensky or Kolchak bills.

BOYS CLUB OF FRISCO
 IS TO BE PERPETUATED

SAN FRANCISCO, April "A (by AS. sociated Press) The Columbia Park Boys Club of San Francisco, an in- terdenomenational organization which became internationally known few years ago when, with it's band, its young members made a tour of the world, has started movement look. ing to it's perpetuation.
 Organized in 1895 along lines sim liar in many respect to the Boy Scouts, the Columbia Park Boys Club boasts a roster of over 700 grad uates" many of whom are today hold ing responsible positions in all lines of commercial, political, religious and professional activity. Over five hun dred of it's "old boys" served their country in the great war.
 The law of the Columbia Park Boy is:
 "A Columbia Park Boy, am day by JAC ol bouy so that I can face life with a mans full power. Clean minded, loving my home loyal to my fellows, trusting my God, pledge anew my faith.
 "Old Glory thou art mine and I am thine. When thou takest me thou wilt find me ready, worthy to carry on thy mission to the end"
 The band of the' organization, one of the largest in the west, is com posed entirely of youngsters. It has entered in many band competitions and has show case full of trophies as evidence of it's capabilities.
 Governors of commonwealths and mayors of cities vied with one another in welcoming the young travellers dur ing their world girdling, and one of the features of the club house is the trophy room in which is displayed the flags of foreign nations presented to the boys as souvenirs of their visits in various cities.
 The club is described as "a work dedicated to teach boys the joy of life by bringing their individual faculties. Based on the philosophy that if you make the lives of boys one amending joy there will arise a race of men with love in their hearts and deep regard for their fellows"

Counting the score ut penny points,
for the sake of clearness, IN the actual
play, A and B lost a 81 rubber, and
that was all they could lose, Had they
taken the sting of 200 and afterward
lost the rubber they would have lost
81. AS It is always an even thing

chance had he gone to four hearts or

tract been set for even one trick, A and

and is one Of the best players at the
Knickerbocker.
B passed and was jumped on for not

not a sound double, which US assist

| tically impossible to make four by cards
| In either of the rcd suits.
Thre chief interest lies in BIS consid-
GRAFTON of the score. II u makes his
three spades. the most the rubber can
be worth will be about $50 points, even
with four honors between them. On
the other hand II B goes to four in

sting OF 200 or 800 and aftreward fails

or 500. while all he could possibly win
would be about ESQ.
What actually happened was that Y
| made his contract by taking in four
club tricks, four spades and the king Of
hearts, the opening lead being a trump.
This Melted him ala points, which added
to the previous 116. less 1916 scored by
A and b, left him $685. which is called
zoo.
The interesting point is TO examine
the possibilities IL + bids four in either
OF the red suits and postpones the rub
Der. In either suit he will be set 200 no
matter how he plays the hand, as Y will
double any four bid, or three no-trumps
At no trumps + would be set 800.
Some players maintain that the proper
answer to the partners double Is to de-
clare the higher ranking of two numer-
ically equal suits. because tho small
cards are good for trumps and the high
cards in the other suit will win tricks
whether they are trumps or not. This
theory would prompt to declare the
hearts.
Those who believe in declaring the
stronger suit. without regard to rank,
would bid the diamonds. No matter
which b selects Y doubles. and b loses
spade, two hearts and two clubs.
To go back to the score. which Is
the real point, II A and b take sting
OF 200 one of two things must happen ::
A and b will eventually win the rubber
they have postponed or they will lose It.
Let US assume, for the sake of COM
parison, that If this game postpones
the rubber the score on the game that
finally wins Il is the same as that
which did win it, 313 points. Then the
rubber score must stand in one of two

The treaty does not, however, include
some valuable birds, such as quail,
pheasants, grouse and wild turkeys
These still remain wholly within the
Jurisdiction OF the States Approx
mately geo species of migratory birds
are also excluded from the terms OF the
treaty, because they arc not specifically
named or do not feed chiefly or entirely
on insects.
The Federal laws for the protection OF
migratory birds are expected to go a
long way toward insurng a supply for
all time, but the interests OF the States
are so inseparably related to the inter
ests OF the National Government that
all efforts to conserve these birds must
be coordinated for full success. Federal
officials point out Much already has
been done along this line.
The open seasons for wild fowl in
twenty-five States have been made TO
conform to the Federal seasons. and in
many other States game commissioners
and sportsmen have manifested a spirit
or cooperation in game conservation
that indicates a general sentiment IA
voring uniformity in State and Federal
laws.

HARDWOOD Club at HARDWOOD in the Cat
skills to the club pond of the FallsburI;
Club at Fallsburg for the purpose OF
introducing a new strain of pickerel for
cross breeding, in the hope that the de-
creased fishing in the Fallsburg pond
might be counteracted.
Mr.. Decker now writes to the Con.
servation Commission:
Eve are enjoying fine pickerel FISH,
ing in the club pond as result of
taking fish from other private ponds FOR
cross breeding purposes. The pickerel
taken from HARDWOOD pond have been
OF great value to our waters, as they
have increased wonderfully during the
past two years.
II sent 250 pickerel, this years fry.
from our lake TO Tronto Lake. for which
we get $50 adult pickerel in exchange
this winter l also exchanged ESQ perch
for an equal number of pickerel with
Mr.. Gunther at Brentwood. Sulliva n
county. 1t is wonderful what diff
ference this exchange of fish makes in
few years. 1t is money we'll spent"

out for the silver king. also had tho
pleasure OF logging an alligator that
was feet 3 inches in length.
In chatting with SUN reporter yes
terday concerning his alligator hunt,
Capt. Schaufler said: II had never seen
an alligator in fits wild state. When
my guide at Fort Myers, Raymond BY
laska, asked mo II I'd like to 20 on such
a hunt l jumped at the opportunity.
The guide said that he thought he
could show me an alligator. Then it
was up to me.
I'VE went up to a little branch Of the
Caloosahatchee River. We hunted for
hours and finally we got to the Orange
River. We were slowly proceeding along
the river with about half power speed
when the guide said suddenly; There Is
onev
"All that could see was two little
black spots on the water about 100 yards
ahead. Never having seen an alligator
I naturally inquired, Is that all can
see of him?'
II lifted the gun and shot from the
level Of the boat, shooting low. and, nat
urally, having strange gun. did not
shoot well. The two black spots disap-
peared.
Then We followed, drifting down the
river on the other side. and 1 got across
from him, and this time when got
another glimpse I did not shoot from the
level OF the boat but got on the bow and
the shot took effect because he turned
over and swung his tail until It disap-
peared. I consulted with my guide as
to what the chances were, and he was
sure the shot had struck
It's up to us to find him. replied
the guide. Unless the alligator is
killed he il likely to go to the bottom
OF the river and stay there for an In
definite time.
I'm my hunting experiences I have
never run across as keen a hunter as
Raymond Bylaska He has the hunting
and knowing instinct lnstinctively he
ran the boat up to the place where the
alligator disappeared, and with twenty
foot pole against the tide and wind he
put the boat exactly over the spot where
the reptile had gone down
HE felt around with the long pole in
about ten feet of water for some five or
eight minutes and finally located the al
ligator.
"Drop the anchor and hold the boat
he said. The water was SO muddy you
could not see anything We got the boat
anchored against the wind and tide
and the gaff out and found that it was
at least four feet too short While the
guide held the bottom OF the river I
spliced the flag pole to the end of the
gaff and handed it to him. He put the
gaff down into the mud, poked about
ana pulled up to the surface a lively,
squirming. wriggling alligator feet

The mackerel are gone. the bluefish are
going. the menhaden are gone, every
