TURKS WANT
 THEIR MOSQUE

Constantinople, May 5, (By Mail.) ! The faithful Turk does not visit the 1 great Mosque of St. Sophia as ire quently he used to for he considers ! it a foregone conclusion that St. So- i phia will become Christian church ] as it was in the fifth and sixth cen 1 tur1es. One can always have an ar Sument in Constantinop1e over the question whether the church will re- vert to the Greek orthodox or Ro- man Catholic communion
 Christian architects already have visited the mosque and are making their plans for the transformation of the church when it is taken from the Iurks. The faint mosaic of Chris, above the Mirable which has been al- most invisible for centuries will be renewed and the mosaics of the apos- ties under the small dome in the north end of the church also will be restored. Turkish inscriptions of all sorts will be torn down and replaced by Christian symbols.
 The devils face in the marble fac 1ngs under the big dome and the al- legged impression in stone of the hand of 'Memet, the Conqueror," also will be retained reminder of the tenth of May, 1453 when Memet

 There is a possibility that the con. version of St. Sophia for Christian worship may meet ith some opposi- ton from Great Britain. At present there are many Indian troops in Con- stant1nople and if St. Sophia should be taken from the Moslems it is feared that dissatisfa ction among them might eventually have its echo in India and other parts of Islam

ACTOR AND HIS FRIEND

J. s. E. Kingsley, an actor of 431 West avenue, with his friend, John King of New York, had a narrow escape from death when their canoe capsized off Penfield Reef yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock. Their cries for help were heard by a cottag- CT living near the breakwater who telephoned to the Life Guards at Fairfield Beach.

THOSE WITH LIQUOR
 IN HOME FEEL BETTER

The decision of Congress not to in terfere with liquors in homes which had been purchased before the Pro- hibition act goes Into effect was a great relief to those who had stocked up with anticipation of the dry spell. The liquor dealers throughout the city report increasing sales and are much relieved to find that they will be able to dispose of the stocks they have on hand.
 Any one having the money can now purchase enough to last him the rest of his life and many are following. the old loan slogan, and are buying till it hurts.
 The Seaside, Brooklawn, Algonquin and Bridgeport clubs report that their entire stocks have been con- tracted for by their members and in some of them the locker system will be inaugurated.

WHITEFIsH HAND LINE SPECIE.
Information Desired for Use of
Lake Champlain Anglers.

. ALBANY. July l2.-Charles r. War
son, SO Warren street. Glens Falls N. V,
has written to the Conservation Com
mission with the desire of securing def
mite information. for the benefit Of hand
line fishermen. relative to the whitefish
In Lake Champlain. of which over 30,-
100000 have been planted in the New
York waters OF the lake since the spring
OF 1915.
1T has been the policy" he writes
"ef New York and Vermont to reserve
the Ash In Lake Champlaln for sporting
rather than commercial purposes. and
1t is therefore most desirable that all
Information possible regarding methods
Of locating whltefsh areas and the
taking OF this valuable food fish by
hand line fishing may he ascertained.
THE general impression that white
fish may not successfully be taken by
hook and line is an erroneous one, for
already in many waters of the State
quantities OF these fish IRE taken during
the open season.

stance Il is true there should have been
closed seasons, but they should have been
enforced. 1t would be much better to
lose the game without law than TO foss
both the game and respect for law at
the same time.
Need for Law Enforcement.
At the recent dinner of the Canadian
Camp in New York n Canadian member
of Parliament told how generally game
laws were violated in his province. Al
Fort Yukon they fed dogs on white -four
last winter with moose in sight every
day. but on the headwaters of the White
River men were taking dogs to board
and feeding them mountain sheep.
Don't spring your law. no matter how
good, until you are prepared to put teeth
IN It. Better err on the eide of too great
ljberalty than err In the other way.
Educate the public to gee the necessity
for protective legislation. The great
mass of testimony proves that paper
laws play into the hands of the Huns OF
sport. Let us by all means have fewer
restrictions and better law enforcement.
In the United States we feel that the
situation as regards the future OF the
wild fowl supply for the present and fu-
ture is now amply safeguarded by the
migratory bird treaty act. Though of
not nearly so great importance as our
treaty with Canada. we hope within
reasonable time to secure similar rela-
tons with Mexico.
The wild fowl supply has certainly in
creased tremendously in the last few
years, and I say this despite the fact
that on the American side of the line the
shooting season just past was, in many
parts Of our country. the poorest we have
had in forty years This was due, Of
course. to the unusual mildness of the
weather.
In general the States are looking much
more closely than ever before to main
| tanning their supplies OF localized game

which Is receiving much attention with
us is the game census In many States

ton to the usual facts. report OF all

bushes proposition, this inventorying OF

basis for new regulations, I look to see
the system greatly perfected In the
United States and Canada during the

Then too we are doing tremendous
work in the United States in propagat-
ing game. chiefly deer and pheasants. to
stock depleted sections. The States in
the aggregate are spending good many
hundreds OF thousands Of dollars
| in this way for the benefit OF
the eportsmen. Looking to the
day when wild fur bearing animals
will be less numerous than at present.

Lines for Bass and Muskies.

j. b. N. asks What Is the best kind
Of Q line for bait casting with artificial
baits. and what test line should use for
bass and musky fishing?"
Dixie Carroll replies as follows: ''The
only line to be considered for bait cast
ing Is the silk braided. and Of this kind
we have a choice between the soft
braided and the hard braided ones
"Of the hard braided line, II wears well
and absorbs practically no water In cast
Ing, but II plays second fiddle to the
soft braided AFFAIR The ease with which
the eoft Braided line runs of the reel
makes 1t a better casting line, and YOU
can cast all day without burning the
thumb to the quick, which Is more than
enn be said for the hard braided ones
The soft braided line spools more
evenly and closely on the reel, and with
II you have better thumb control. as II
does not run down so quickly on the
spool In the cast.
For general casting with plugs. either
No. or a No. 6 size Is good for the
liehter lures. as spoons. pork find and
ininnow, the No. Q Is better. A line test
ing at from twelve to fifteen pounds Is
plenty strong enough for bass, while you
can probably stand twenty or twenty

Law Aims to Conserve LoBsters.

The taking or possession OF short"
Holsters Is leading TO the arrest Of many
men in the metropolitan district. which
includes Long Island and Staten Island.
The law states that HOLSTERS less than
four and an eighth inches measured on
the carapace shall not be taken, pos
sessed or sold"
In other words, to be legally retained
a lobster must measure at least four ana
an eighth inches from the extremity OF
the point between the eyes TO the end
Of the hard she'll on the back.
The four and one-eighth inches Bpeci-
fed by the law Is the minimum site al
which a lobster first produces. and the
object OF the law is TO conserve the
supply of Holsters by giving them a
chance to multiply at least oncs before
they can be killed.
For the same reason the conservation
law also provides that mo person shall
at any time take any female HOLSTERS in
spawn or with eggs attached" Nunnsr

Vision are also reaching the once OF
