"WhyT" ne asked.
Because their position is unjust,
un-American and untenable," was my
answer.

Mission Olives a Group, Not Variety,
 Department Survey Shows.

It has long been recognized by olive growers in California and l, Arizona that there was consid erable difference in the size. quality, and time of ripening of the so called Mission olive, the most important ip the olive in dustry. A survey of a nun Der Iof Mission orchards by repre- sentatives of the United States Department of Agriculture has confirmed the view long held by olive growers that the Mission is a group instead of a single va riety.
 Within the Mission group there are several distinct varieties, which have characteristic foliage marked differences in shape of the fruit, and differences in time of ripening. In many orchards there is not uniformity, and three or four distinct varieties of the Mission group were found If growers and narserymen will study carefully the trees from which propagating material is taken 1t will then be relatively easy matter to segregate the nursery stock of the different Mission varieties. If this is done orchards planted with such stock would contain only one variety, with the result that the project would be practically uni form.

 We have examined the reports of the Justices and find that all have tiledtheir reports according to law, also that the various con stables of the county have made their settlements promptly and as prescribed by law.
 We have examined the records of the county officers as far as our limited time would permit and find them in good condition. We wish to commend the officers for their ueatness and attention to the duties of their respective offices. We find that the facili- ties for handling the business and for keeping the records are very poor.

Berlin, April 22.-The cabinet de-
voted less than half an hour 10 the
formulation of its answer to the en-
tente'sJinvitation to Versailles for the
purpose of receiving draft of the
peace Terms.

The procedure of the council of four

the fact that the news for the past

in cabinet circles and at the foreign
office as final proof that the entente

The herman emissarieS will merely

LITTLE GAME TO
Be DISTRIBUTED

Warden LeCompte Returns From
Southern Trip--SectiOnS in Mexico
Where Rabbits Have Heretofore
Been Plentiful Experiencing Alarm
ing Shortage.
Maryland will receive little Or no
game at all for distribution for
propagation purposes this season, ac-
cording to a statement made Satur-
day by State Game Warden E. Lee
LeCompte, at a meeting OF the Mary
land State Game and Fish Protective
Association, at the New Howard Ho-
tel, Baltimore. Mr.. LeContpte told
of the trip which he made to Mexico
in quest of bob-white quail and cot
tontail rabbits, but informed the
members of the association that ow-
ing to the continued drought for the
past three years game has become
more and more scarce, until now 1T
is almost impossible to secure game
on a large scale.
Practically all of the leading game
centers in Mexico were visited by
Warden LeCompte, but without re-
suits. He stated that he visited Sec
tions where jack rabits were plenti-
full in former years, but was unable
to secure any this season, most OF
the trappers having abandoned trap
ping for the season. In fact, impor-
tations of game from Mexico into this
country have been very small, and
Maryland will lave to suffer in this
respect along with other States
throughout the Union that are also
endeavoring to replenish their stock.
Warden LeCompte has rccommen-
ded to the Conservation Commission
of Maryland the appointment of at
least eight more paid deputy game
wardens, thus giving more protec-
tion to the game in the future than
heretofore. In this manner, it is
thought that the game of Maryland
can be protected much better than at
the present time, although the sys-
tenn as it is now is very effective
one.
Those members of the association
who are interested in the protection
and propagation of fish were told
that the Conservation Con; mission
ers have made rapid progress during
the last year along the lines of the
propagation of fish of practically all
species in the State.
