This statement is made on the authority
of Lieut. Col. III. M. Hickam Of the Army
Air Service, who has had many oppor-
tunities to observe the effect of aircraft
on game birds.
The Colonel, while in command for
several months at Dorr and Carlstrom
Fields, flew regularly at least twice a
day over a swamp where duck of several
species fed In order to flush these birds
Col. Hicken found it necessary to fly

tivities, Senators Yesterday recalled his
testimony before the foreign relations
committee several months ago, when he
said that ratification of the treaty WAS
essential to the business interests OF this
country. He has been more or lexs active
ever since, it was learned, In trying TO
assist ratification plans upon this ground.
His report to Senators on the Presi-
dents attitude toward compromise served
today to add to their uncertainty as to
what Mr. Wilson would do with any
agreement which the Senate might send
to him. According to one Senator, Mr.
Baruch reported the President as being
as much displeased with mild reserva-
tionists as with the irrcconcilables.
Mr.. Baruch was in South Carolina
yesterday and could not be reached for
statement concerning the point in which
Senator'S arc chiefly interested, namely,
whether Mr. Bar,ich WAS asked by the
President to encourage the mild reserva-
tionists to go ahead with their compromise
efforts. 1t WAS stated in official quarters
that Mr. Barich WAS at the Senate
"unofficially" Aside from this no word
was forthcoming.
UNDERWOOD AND LODGE CONFER.
Compromise efforts for ratification of
the Peace Treaty moved forward with
impetus when the leaders of
both parties in the Senate, yesterday re-
leased from legislative duties by the holi-
day recess, came actively into the nego-
tlatIons for an agreement on reservations.
Notsble In the days long series of
conferences was meeting
between Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts,
the Republican leader and Senator Under
wood OF Alabama, prominent Demo
cratic advocate of speedy compromise
They are said TO have discussed the whole
range of possibilities for bringing together
on common ground enough Senators to
insure ratification.
In his talk with Senator Underwood Mr.
Lodge had before him the views of the
mild reservation group of Republicans,
who presented to him at conference

Before orders were issued prohibiting
the hunting of wild fowl from airplanes,
it was practice of Col. Hickam to take n
plane and go out after duck. lie did this
by flying low over the swamps and when
he had flushed a flock he would land in
the vicinity and walk back to shoot.
He always found the duck in The same
place despite the fact that many other
airplanes flew over that spot daily.
Col Hickam attempted on several
occasions to drive flock of teal number

for half an hour without being able to

LOCAL BOARD WINDS UP Of
FICE WORK IN GItNNISON

All of the government records con-

of the Local Draft Board were boxed
and shipped to Denver last week. Yes
terday Judge Shackleford sold the re-
naming office furniture and closed
the business, We hope forever.
This ends most interesting chap
ter of local history, in which 1913 Gun
nison men were registered to fight the
Hun, and over 300 sent out under col
ors of their country.
Judge Shackleford, Major Lake and
Sheriff Hanlon have certainly had as
undesirable job as any in the war.
1t was one to test their mettle in ev-
cry way, and while no doubt not eve
ry registrant was satisfied, the Board
members should be congratulated on
handling it not only to please Uncle
Sam, but to convince the public that
they were fair and honest and above
board in their work and their decisions
the latter often made under most try
ing circumstances.
Hats of to the Local Board and its
