HUNTERS KILL MANY
THOUSAND ANIMALS

MISSOULA, Mont, July Pro
fessional hunters and trappers have
killed 1913 predatory animals in
the Rocky mountain section while in
the employ of the federal govern
ment, according to a report just re-
ceived by the headquarters of dis
trict No. l of the forest service here.
The government employs about
three hundred professional trappers
and hunters to assist western stock
men and ranchers in the extermina-
tion of predatory animals in the
range country. According to the re-
port, direct saving is represented
by the number of those animals kill
ed in the last three years. of nearly
S5,500,0OO.. The total kill consists Of
50.473 coyotes. s,O94 bobcats, 1929
wolves, 201 mountain lions and 1877
bears. The sale of the pelts brought
approximately 100000, which was
used by the government toward fin
ancing the work.
Benjamin V. Lilly is considered by
the authorities one of the best hunt
ers engaged in the work. In six wears
he has killed 167 mountain lions and
65 bears, including several grizzlies.
Mr. Lilly, who is 65 years of age, was
one of the guides who accompanied
the late Theodore Roosevelt On his
hunt thru the Louisiana canebrakcs.
For some years he has collected wild
animals for the biological survey of

TOWN OF THE WAR THREE

PARIS. JIly S.-tCorrespondence ce

most thoroughly devastated town OF
the war, is showing signs OF revival.
pondent visited this erstwhile busy
coal mining center of the department
of the Pas de Calais early this year,
it still looked as though a set of giant
sledgehammers had pounded the
whole place TO atoms. To the west of
it lies the grim battlefield of Loos.
which has the curious appearance of
a petrified sea. The soil has been
plowed up in an extraordinary man
ner by thousands of poisonous gas
bombs, which have tinged the sparse
vegetation an unhealthy gray.
Before the war, Lens had 10000
inhabitants. When the correspondent
visited the locality in its state OF
hopeless desolation, there were only
three sturdy optimists left, who led
the existence of cave men among the
ruins. Their nearest point to get food
was Bully-Grenay, ten miles away,
and there was no transportation.
Things have been mending since.
Today, about 1900 of the exiled in
habitants have returned. They are
housed in corrugated iron hutments
formerly used by the British army.
The cleaning up Of the place, begun
by Chinese and German prisoner
work squads. is taking on more
speed The approaches have been laid
ta~u . c"ilAis a'd underground
shelters which have been occupied by
homeless "househunters." Even
building OF sort is going on; the
material used being such odd bits OF
wood, stone and iron as were still
serviceable in the huge rubbish heap
that once was Lens.
In the Pas de Calais department
alone, $50 townships and villages are
in the same plight as Lens, or nearly
so. The task of making these places
fit to live in again is a herculean
one. Labor is available in adequate
numbers, but to lodge and feed the
men is great problem. The latest
suggestion is to use covered army
motor trucks as temporary shelters
for the workers by whose efforts
Lens is to arise from its ashes.

The Steel Strike.

No evidence that tho steel strike is
developing has come in the last few
days. The strike, indeed, appears to
have settled down to test Of strength,
possibly with both sides waiting for
the industrial conference to be held
here next Monday. It would seem that
the strike has gone as far as it can be
pushed in the steel mills themselves.
Aecessiens to the ranks Of the strikers
from the mills are not being gained,
even with the extension Of the strike
to two OF the largast Independent steel
corporations. The next move is there
fore likely to be an effort to bring
about sympathetic strikes in allied in
dustries. Meanwhile the steel mills
are recruiting workers and it is evi-
dent that production is steadily in
creasing. If this tendency continues

nections and new obligations, and will
need to be administered. if success
fully, with all care and the best Of
available ability. A Presidents Off.
cial family will be examined with very
close scrutiny.
For this reason, question likely to
enter into the campaign next year win
relate to the sort and grade Of men
the successful candidate for Presi-
dent will call to the cabinet table.
Cabinet places will bulk large in the
public estimation. The voters may
try to get . line on probable appoint
ments; and presidential candidate
may be strengthened or weakened by
the hold that speculation ON tho sub
ject obtains on the public mind.
This will apply even if Mr.. Wilson
should stand again. For there is some
curiosity as to whether In case of a
third term Mr.. Wilson might not copy
Mr.. Cleveland in the matter of the
latter's second term, when not single
face which had appeared at the cabi-
net table in the first term appeared
now for service in the second, All
were new faces, and several Of them
unknown to the general public. Mr..
Olney Of Massachusetts,, Mr.. Hoke
Smith Of Georgia, and Mr.. Bissell Of
New York had not previously held Of
fee.
No cabinet place has at any time
been q sinecuTe. At some times, how
ever, some have bulked larger than
others, owing to particular issues tenn
porarily uppermost. But now all those
places bulk large. We have entered
upon an era and are surrounded by
conditions giving to every cabinet
place so much consequence that cabi-
net-making will become one Of the
leading tests Of the chief executive.

Cabinet Places and Appoiatment.

The importance now attaching to
the Department of Commerce, and the
eurrent speculation respecting Mr..
Redfelds probable successor, call at
tention to the importance the war has
added to all the other departments.
There is none which does not show
greatly increased business, and much
of it Of new and very difficult order.
Take the State Department, with
nex nations to be dealt with and the
old nations presenting new questions :;
ths Treasury Department. with the
care Of the enormous debt piled up
during the past two years, and the ne
cessity Of executing new revenue laws !;
the War Department, with the man
agement of q new Army for peace
times; the Navy Department, With the
management Of greater sea power for
new requirements; the Post Office De.
partmept, with the management of q
larger postal service than ever; the
Labor Department, with labor ques.
tions constantly growing in the ma.
tienal equation, and the Department
Of justice, charged With more work
and vigilance than hitherto.

from the motion pictures, Of which
they are inveterste patrons. They are
often encouraged in this style Of
speech by their elders, who regard it
as smart" and interesting, not realix-
ing the handicap that is suffered in
later life by the acquisition Of habit
Of loose and incorrect expression.
Speech culture is today an urgent
need, and the Recommendation that
teachers be named to direct it in the
schools is worthy Of serious attention.
If teachers are employed to guide the
penmanship and the musical capacities
Of the children and instruct them in
reading and knowledge Of physical
things, it is surely essential to pro-
vide instruction for the manner in
which they communicate by speech.

The Presidents Illness.

President Wilson's illness has sud
denly developed into much mere &C.
rious aspect than was indicated when
he turned hack to Washington from
his western trip, 1t 10 frankly an
neunced BY his physician and the spe-
cialists who have been summoned in
consultation that he is in grave con
ditien Of nerve depletion that will re-
euile the most careful attention and
that demands the utmest possible rest
from labor and thought on official mat
tiers. There is reason fer keen anxiety
aud the situation is frankly aeknewl-
edged in terms that leave no doubt
that the Presidents ease is causing
deep eeneern.
There is No ground fer surprise,
i.ewever, in the fact that the President
is seriously ill. He has undergone q
strain such as few men have ever en-
dured. He has labored without spar
ing himself in tho cause of peace, tEay-
cling great distances, applying his en-
ergies unstintedly, speaking repeat
edly under the most trying conditions
and concentrating his thought stead

A more sturdy constitution than that
Of Mr.. Wilson might easily have yield
ed to this long continued strain. A
President cannot wholly stop work at
any time. From the beginning to the
end Of his term he is attended by res
sponsibilities and cares. Few men whe
:,ave occupied the White House have
carried such q burden as that which
has been laid upon the shoulders of
Mr.. Wilson. He has borne his con-
scieatiously. New that he has ever
taxed his strength and is suffering
from an afdiction that necessitates ex.
.raordinary measures for his care and
cure, the prayers Of the people ~ill be
uttered fer his early restoration to
health.

sion. Youngsters from an early age
talk veritable argot that is often in
comprehensive to their parents. They
pick it up in the streets and on the
Fairgrounds, through miscellaneous as
sociation. They form the habit of
loose speech SO early that it is very
difficult to shape their vocabularies
into better forms.
Nobody wants the boy or girl to
talk pedantically. There 10 no wish
to develop "highbrow" speech ON the
part Of our Juveniles. But there is Q
happy medium chat should be sought,
and probably the best place for the
training to this end is in the schools,
where the ehildreR's speech can be
studied and checked and corrected
systematically.

arbitrary methods the high cost of

There are far more Washington

Only fraction Of Washington land

property is threatened with increased

Washingonians would eliminate if
they could an evil for which the
unthinking, by too broad generaliza-
tion, hold this whole community re-
sspoasible to the injury of the good
fepute Of the capital.
Real fair rent legislation would be
popular locally. A real fair rents law
should be carefully framed "a To
avoid un-American class legislation,
solely and unfairly in the interests Of
