The reopening Of the trout fishing sea-
son has revealed that there are persons
so careless or so disregardful of the law
that they will retain possession Of short
length trout. The filming operation has
already been started in the southern
part of the state and will, no doubt, ex-
tend to the northern part of the state
whenever occasion requires. A word to
the careless ought to be sufficient to keep
them out of the clutches of the law. The
Others will continue to look after them
selves in their own way.

that these differences have arisen.

Of one of Wilson's IA points against Sc.

Again, when an officer is "bucking"

between the neither and upper milestone
of official ambition.
We had one colonel who had mania
for neatncss. Under his direction the
Fifth Field Artillery became the scav T.
engers of France. Driven by this hobby
of his, I verify believe that we cleaned
up the accumulated filth of centuries
and this aside from our necessary mill
tary duties. When Il Battery was
blown out of its fourth position in the
battle of SoisSons he ordered detach
ment to go back and police up the
gully. Scattered shells were to bC

made the First Division at times closely
resemble madhouse. We ourselves
were filthy, infested with vermin, too
dog tired to take an interest in our
condition. Many an officer had the
courage to stand between us and these
exasperating exactions and paid for it
by being sent to the ammunition train,
Every member Of the First will bear
me out in the assertion that the more
humane an officer was with his men
the more certainly he drew upon him
self the displeasure Of his superiors.
Men OF Different Flesh
1t would be possible to file volume
with true incidents bearing out the
spirit of military regulations as ! have
pictured them. 1t holds as its car
dinal principle that officer and man are
of different flesh. 1t holds that the
soldier is an inferior creature without

RAIL BILL IN SENATE.
LEGISLATION WILL OCCUPY BODY
UNTIL FIRST OF YEAF..
Esch Measure Passed by the House
Is Radically Different From the
Cummins Bill.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Railroad legis-
lation will occupy the time of the SEN
ate until the first of the year.
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, chair
man of the senate interstate commerce
committee and father of the Cummins
railroad bill, said today that that meas
ure will be passed by the upper cham
Der by January 1, according to his
belief.
"If it is passed and goes to confer
ence before the Christmas recess
cannot conceive of the administration
turning the railroads back to private
ownership" Cummins said.
eff the bill is before the conference
committee it is a practical certainty
that it will be passed finally in a few
weeks. In that event / believe the
president will defer the return of the
railroads until February l."
Amendments TO the railroad bill will
come in a flood. The Cummins bill is
radically different from the ESch bill
passed by the House. Several members
have planned to introduce amend
ments to restore the provisions of the
Esch bill.
The first will be introduced by SEN
ator King, Democrat, of Utah, giving
the interstate commerce commission
full jurisdiction over rates.
