tied. Confusion has existed in the
minds of many shooters on account
of difference in the federal and
state seasons. The state cannot
legislate within the closed season of
the federal regulations, but it can
legislate within the open season.
The federal open season is three AMI
one-half months, but the state, if it
cares to, may close any portion or
all of the federal open season. The
shooting season, therefore. which
must be observed by the hunters
throughout Oregon is as follows:
For Multnomah, Clatsop. Column
bia and Tillamook counties, the
open season begins on October l and
closes December 81. In all other
counties of Game District No. l,
which comprises all of that portion
of Oregon lying west OF fhe summit
OF the Cascade mountains, the sea-
son opens on October 16 and closes
on January 10. In all counties of
Game District No. 2, which COM
prises all that portion of Oregon ly-
ing east of the summit of the Cas-
cade mountains, the open season he
gins on October l and ends on De-
cember 81.

To Clear North
Sea of All the
Mine Fields

WASHINGTON, April 12.--Ap-
proximately 1900 officers and men
will be engaged under Rear Admiral
Strauss in the dangerous task of re-
moving $1,000 mines which the
American naval force laid in the
North Sea anti-submarine barrage.
Eighteen mine sweepers, it was learn
ed today, will be used and attached
to the fleet as tenders will be twenty
submarine chasers now overseas.
Two of the mine sweepers are in
British waters, twelve are en- route
there and the remaing four will sail
built for this service and each is soon.
These crate were especially manned
by crew of five officers and 81 men.
Besides the mines laid by the
American feet, $4,000 British mines
had been placed in the North Sea
when the armistice was signed. 1t
was mutually agreed that each gov
ernment should sweep the seas Of its
own mines. Roughly estimated, the
North Sea baFrage covers an area of
1000 square miles.

Germans Cloat Over Ruins;
Deny Defeat By The Allies
Monroe Doctrine
Is Supported By
Wilson In Address

! PARIS, April 12.--Discussion Of
the Monroe doctrine amendment by
the league of nations commission last
night is described by those present
as having been of a dramatic charac.
ter, concluding with speech by Pres
tident Wilson deprecating the opposi-
Ition which had been expressed and
upholding the doctrine as one of the
great bulwarks against absolutism.
The debate came late in the session,
after other subjects had been passed
upon.
The British attitude had been in
doubt until the last, but Lord Robert
Cecil turned the scales by announc-
ing that he saw no objection to the
amendment in the form presented by
the President. M. Laranade, of the
French delegation, followed Lord
Roberts with opposition to inserting
the Monroe doctrine.
The Chinese also offered objection
to the amendment on the ground that
its language was so extended that it
might validate certain principles and
claims aecting Chinese affairs.
The President paid the closest at
tention to the opposition to the
amendment and jotted down notes for
a reply In his speech the President
spoke with great earnestness and with
some evidence of feeling.
. He declared that the Monroe doc
trine was enunciated to combat the
Holy Alliance and to hold back the
threat of absolutism which was then
Europe and seeking to
spread its absolute power to the west
ern hemisphere. 1t served its purpose
in keeping this absolute power from
the western world.
