protection is purely a matter of
| state law, and most of the states
| protection is so inadequate that the
| birds are steadily decreasing. The
ruffed grouse, which, under various
names, is sought by hundreds of
thousands of gunners from Mass
achusetts to Minnesota and from
Virginia to the Canada line, is re-
; ported scarce almost everywhere.
| Disease and a pest of hawks have
made the struggle unusually hard
for the grouse the past few years,
and unless carefully protected. they
will soon be extinct in many places.
Some of the states have recognized
this fact this year by protecting the
grouse for a term of years
For the bob white quail. which is
perhaps the most popular game bird
in America, this has been a fairly
good year The quail are no more
than holding their own anywhere,
and in many places are decreasing,
but a mild winter like that of last
year, is always a help to them. In
hard winters they cannot reach
their food in the northern state, and
whole coveys, roosting on the
ground, are sometimes buried in
the snow and imprisoned by a
freeze.
Perhaps the game animal most
widely hunted in the east is the
rabbit. He is the poor mans game,
in the east, although in the west he
is scarcely regarded as game at
all. The rabbit tends to hold his

ture and his aptitude for strategy.
Like the poor, he will probably al
ways be with US.
One Large Game.
There is only one variety of large
game which many Americans get a
chance TO hunt, and that is the
deer. 1t has been estimated that
nearly a hundred thousand deer are
killed in the United States every
year This probably means that at
least twice that many Americans
go deer hunting. Not many years
ago the best deer hunting was in
the west, and deer were scarce or
extinct in many of the eastern
states. This condition has been re-
versed. The best deer hunting is
now in those states east of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio
in other words in the oldest settled
part of the continent outside of the
Spanish southwest. And New York
and Pennsylvania, two of the most
popuIoUs states in the union, are
now the best deer states. More deer
are killed in these states than in
any others.
This is partly, of course. because
New York and Pennsylvania, with
their great mountain ranges, con-
tain much good deer range; but it
is chiefly because these states have
good game laws, adequately enforc-
ed. In Colorado and New Mexico,
two western states containing
much fine deer range, deer are now
scarce and always getting scarcer,
solely for lack of protection.
There are deer in more than half
of the states in the union. In the
states of the middle corn belt, in

JAPAN WANTS FAIR
 DEAL IN PACIFIC
Representatives Say Claims There Are No Different Than Those Of
 Other Countries

San Francisco, April 7.-Under- standing by the western world of Japan's aims in the Orient would dis sipate the feeling; in some quarters against the nation, said Kotaro Mocb- izul<i member of the Japanese parlia ment and editor of the Japan Finan- cial and Economic Monthly of Tolzio in a statement last night to the Asso- ciated Press. Misunderstanding now is causing much agitation against JaDan he said.
 Japan annexed Korea ten vears ago. Some time in the future-no one can at present forecast the exact time-korea will be allowed self government" he declared '"The ko rean and Manchurian situation was the cause of two wars for Japan. Without Korea as a bulwark against other nations, Japan's safety always would be precarious. Japan's position in China is not aimed for the domina ton of that country. Rather it is our policy to make the country free for everybody. Through the treacheries of former diplomacy China was be- ing partitioned among the European nations, much as Africa has been. In this way China would have lost it's in fiuence in it's own country. Other na- tions outside a very few, would be barred from trade. Japan was among the latter.
 Japan wants what all the world wants-a fair deal. Our request for the former German possessions in the Orient is no different from those of Great Britain and France in other spheres. Japan is not asking more than others ask. II does want to be guided by tho doctrines of fair play which America is seeking for all the world. These American doctrines have caused a revolutionary mental change in the world which we believe in. Japan is democratic. It wants it's democratic aims understood"

WILCOX OFFERS TO DONATE PLAYGROUND
Committee Expected to Accept TOWnSnlan's Generous Action
MAY CALL 1T WILCOX PARK
Sergeant CarsOn's Name on Related Casualty Lst-Hclcn Nicksa Dead Fire Apparatus Badly Needed by Town-Other News Items.

Major Frank L. Wilcox announced this morning to the committee in charge of the purchasing of the At water Riley property on Worthington Ridge for a children's playground that he is willing to donate the money needed to purchase the tea room grounds and help in the csta tablishment of this proposed playground.
 The committee will take a vote on the generous offer at it's next meeting, which will be public, at the Berlin town hall, April 15. If the donation is accepted and the playground es- tablished, it is probable that the grounds will be named Wilcox Park. This was proposed this morning by one of the members of the committee. It will also be decided by vote at the next meeting whether this name will be given to the grounds or not. The public subscription which was pro- posed by the committee probably will not be asked for.
 May Ask Public Subscription.
 Many local citizens who are in favor of having a chemical fire apparatus installed in the town are of the opin- ion that, owing to the park money offer by Major Wilcox, it is possible that a public subscription for the pur- pose of purchasing this much-needed fire apparatus may be solicited.
 To Present Play.
 On next Thursday evening, the Ep- worth league of the kensington Meth odist church will present The Farm erette," which was given at the church parlors a few weeks ago. It will be presented at the Berlin Grange hall under the auspices of Berlin Grange. A short program has been arranged by the members of the Grange.

A Case for an Alienist.

At a concert in London, declares
British contemporary, girl once
sang a song that asked. in the first
line of the chorus, Il wonder If he'll
miss me?" She sang it with more
force than expression or sweetness;
in fact. she was slightly off the key.
AS she finished the first stanza there
was a restless shutting of feet and a
subdued buzz of voices.
The recond stanZa did not add TO
the interest. but it increased the
noise. When she reached the chorus
in safety, how ever, and once more
noisily inquired. Il wonder If he''
miss me?" q man in the gallery call
ed out. IF he does. he never ought
to be trusted with gun again."
