During the last year the secret service
work OF the game protectors has given
added confirmation Of the fact that the
proportion of bucks to does is thoroughly
satisfactory on biological grounds.
The secret service work. as IL applies
TO game protection. I have already dis
cussed in TIE SrS, and K was pointed
out that IN camps that operated
upon the plan OF killing practically
everything tina. they saw the sex Of
Iol deer reported killed was forty-siv
bucks. forty-four does and eleven fawrs.
These were Ge-t tha; 1.I;r;t. IL most 4;
stances. under the immediate obscrva-
ton Of the protectors Because of the
fact that the hunters at those camps shot
at everything that they So n. and de-
termined the sex afterwsrd, il is possible
70 reach no other conclusion than that
the proportion of bucks TO does in those
places is thoroughly adequate,
Up to the time OF writing the commits
sion had made settlements with some of
those violators. that involved twenty
three deer. OF these twenty-three deer
nine were bucks. twelve We're does and
two were fawns.
The settlements were based upon n
large number OF affidavits presenting n
great amount Of corrohorati>e proof
showing that M attempt was made 10
distinguish between buck and a doe
until after II was dead on the ground.
This kind Of evidence gives tho
strongest sort Of proof that the relative
proportion Of sexes in the deer forests is
entirely satisfactory, whatever may he
said about the desire OF some hunters TO
observe the law.

DOE PROTECTION VITAL
by GEORGE ID. PRATT.


Special attention has been given
throughout 1918 to the number OF deer
seen by the protectors as they have gone
about on their regular patrol work.
The game census was started in Au-
gust, 1915. and. accordingly. when new
summary OF deer statistics was made on
July I, 1918, this summary gave records
for approximately three years,
Every deer seen by protector during
that time has been reported on cards

whose sex was not determined, whether
1t was a buck. a doe without fawns &c
companylng II, a doe whose fawns were
seen with it. or whether II was "a fawn.
total OF 1s,549 observations was re-
corded up to July /. 1918.
An analysis of the observations &C.
cordlngly gives a very' accurate state
ment OF the relative proportion Of the
sexes among the deer. II only a few
observations had been made, no general
conclusion could be reached.
In the case Of these figures. however,
II should be understood that as the deer
moved naturally before the eyes of the
protectors during all this time, more than
100000 observations were made upon
them. thus eliminating any possible err
rors that might arise In limited num-
Der Of observations extending over n
short time. This is In accordance with
sound statistical rules.

or the bucks were not in horn at that sea-
son, making their recognition difficult,
or for some other reason sex identifca-
ton was impossible
These 1.103 observations showed $3.50
bucks and 4.51S does. This is n proper
ton Of more than one buck TO two does.
A further analysis OF observations,
section by section. shows that the pro-
portion OF bucks to does varies slightly
Ia some places. For instance. in locali-
ties that are hunted very little. there
are very nearly the same number OF
bucks as does. whereas. in some Of the
outlying sections that are hunted most.
the ratio is sometimes as high as one
buck TO from three 10 four does.
InasInuch as Il has been thoroughly
established in deer parks that one buck
to four does will In no way cndanger
the maintenance Of the herd. II is thus
clear that the buck law In New York
state is operating IN the interest of In
creased numbers of these animals.

DRIVES HOME SOCIAL
DUTY OF STUDENTS

That institutions of learning must
become spiritually fruitful as well as
intellectually Illuminated was the
keynote Of the address of Mr.. J. Stitt
Wilson of Berkeley, California, in
a lecture on Constructive Christian
Democracy" delivered in assembly
yesterday Mr.. Wilson demonstrated
the necessity Of opening up to the
students the social problems of AM
erica and of quickening the social
conscience in regard to the present
problems. Mr. Wilson stated that
$4,000 students and faculty were
lending all possible support to the
great after-war movement.
Mr.. Wilson emphasized the obliga-
ton which the students of the 10th
century owed to the fallen heroes.
He quoted the immortal lines of
Lieutenant Colonel McCrea, eff we
break faith with those who died in
Flanders Fields, they shall not sleep,
though peoples bloom in Flanders
Fields"
"The great poet of the goth cen
tury," continued Mr.. Wilson, twill be
the poet of labor. The last shall be
first. The spiritual element is max
ing rapid strides in spiritual mean
ing and ethical insight"
The great sacrifice of our allies
and Russia before we entered the
war was emphasized by Mr.. Wilson.
Before we entered the war, be-
fore we had spent a dollar, in fact,
while we were making millions and
millions of dollars and had not lost
a man, 100000 soldiers of our allies
had given their lives in order to hold
the world to the point to which it

ERICKSON |NSTRUCTS
SOLDIERS IN FRANCE

Professor F. M, Erickson of the
education department is now instruct
ing class of doughboys in the Am
erican University at Beaume, France,
according to word received at the
university recently. There are at
present 10000 soldiers doing college
work there.
Since March 1, Professor Erickson
states, ITO college buildings have
been constructed on site occupying
two square miles. The agricultural
college is located a few miles away
and farms 600 acres of the best soil
in France.
A student can obtain whatever
training he desires at the university,
all the colleges having been organ
lied. The faculty consists of nearly
500 instructors.
The great purpose of this univer-
sity, says Prof. Erickson, is to offer
occupation to homesick and idle boys
who must remain in France for con-
siderabl time yet because of the lin
tied transportation. Not only does
this scheme offer valuable opportun-
ity for learning, but there is move
ment on foot to give credit for work
satisfactorily done at this university
that will be accepted by universities
over here and will apply toward de-
grees.
1t is explained by Prof. Erickson
that the American University at
Beaume, with it's student body of
10000 college men, is but "a part of
The army's program to offer schooling
to American boys in France.
Scattered over the territory occu-
pied by our soldiers there are 1000 |
post schools teaching high school and |
elementary subjects to soldiers who
lave not the training to admit them

rom the ranks who are qualified to
each the subjects These instructors
re sent to the university at Beaume
n contingents of 720 for two weeks of
Intensive drill and instruction. Prof.
Erickson is one of the force that lee
ures to these people.
The post schools are arranged in
istricts over each of which a single
Ipervisor goes about advising and

,ceived at the American University,

ltional work.

DeViYO and Connlin Factions Mill Appear in Court
STABBlNG IS ALLEGED
George Ncntres, Veteran Blacksmith, Succumbs After Long Illness Lawn Fete Prcparations-Post Of- fee Notcs-Other Items.

An alleged feud of several years standing eliminated last night in the reported stabbing of Michael Conn in by Louis Devivo Connlin was smeared with blood, his face being slashed from ear to cheek and his body cut in mum Der of places, those who talked with him said There were no eye-witnesses to the affray put Connlin accused Devivo of the attack.
 Both parties have been in court a number of times in the last five years, first one party bringing a charge against the other and vice . versa, but no convictions were ob- ta1ned as evidence was always lack .ng. The whole trouble. as far as cam be ascertained. is over a boundary line, as the parties live on adjoining farms.
 It is said that Connlin was driving cows to pasture last night around ' clock when he came upon Deviyo who was watering his horse. Devivo suddenly attacked him with a jack knife without. provocation, Connlin maintained Neither of the parties could be reached to get their stories but they will have an opportunity at the Berlin court tonight.
 Connlin is about 40 years old and Devivo aroun 20. Young Devivo, it is said, has not any particular reason for the attack as it is more of fam fly feud than 8 personal one. Conn ln's cuts are not serious, according to Dr. F. B. Mann who attended to the wounds. the cuts being mostly surface stahs
 Prosecutor C. F. Lewis is deter mined to settle the family affair once and for all. as the families have been fighting in the courts for some time, This stabbing affray brings the feud to a definite stand.
