Conservation On Business Lines.

Harrison w. Vickers, chairman OF
the new Conservation Commission,
had a conference with Governor
Ritchie and later visited the offices Of
the commission in the Munsey Build
ing.
Governor Ritchie is anxious that the
management of the oyster, crab and
fish industries of the state shall be
conducted strictly on business lines,
with politics eliminated. He desires
hearty cooperation between the conn
mission and those engaged in the
oyster, grabbing and fishing industries.
With this cooperation he believes
there will follow a large increase In
the leases, of oyster bottoms, from
which revenues may be derived to
provide for rehabilitation of depleted
beds. The allied industries may be
built UP in the same way.
The commission will find a score or
more of desirable berths to be filled.
They include one game warden at
$1,SOO, and two deputies at $1,000
year each. eight district deputy war
dens at 5000 each, two clerks who are
paid, respectively, $3.50 and $1,000;
two clerks at s1,04O each, 13 deputy
commanders at s720 a year each, and
six other subordinates for the force
at s240 each; one chief oyster inspec-
tor at $S3.33 per month, three gen.
eral inspectors at 500 per month
each, two inspectors at SIS per month
each, and IA special inspectors at $50
per month each.
The total appropriation to conser-
walton commission for this year 10

STAT E
CAPITAL
Road Funds First.

Annapolis
The new State Roads Commission
held it's t1rst meeting, Governor
Ritchie attending.
The commission decided in 2effect
that no contracts for lateral roads
will be awarded until the several coun-
ties shall have. contributed or guar
anteed their share of the cost of con-
struction as provided by the new loan,
one-half of the cost being borne by the
state and onelhalf by the counties with
such deductions as may be possible
by federal aid and by funds now avail
able. "a
The commission considered the two
following propositions, which are Inn
mediately pressing:
The amount of unobligated funds
on hand available for new construc-
ton. 1t was not possible to ascer-
tain from the commissions books and
reports what this. amount Is without
an audit. The commission felt that
it was necessary to know accurately
how much free money is available
for new road construction before con-
sidering the question Of what new
roads should be built. Accordingly,
the State Auditor was called before
the commission, and he will at once
audit the commissions books, and
report to the next meeting OF the
commission, to be held on Thursday,
June IL at II A. NJ, what the exact
situation is when it will at once be
made known to the public.
A new system of bookkeeping will
then be inaugurated, from which the
financial condition of the road funds
will be at all times known, and made
public by periodical reports.
Table Is Studied.
The commission closely studied the
following table, which shows the road
mileage in each county, the percent
age of the total road fund to be pro
vided by each county and the
amount of each county's share for
the first year. To the total sum OF
$3.50, 900 will be added appropriations
by the Federal government, for inr
provements of post roads, and any
funds now available, funds from
these sources being about equal to
the state and county quotas:

GEN. PERSHING To QUIT
U. S. MILITARY SERVICE
In Letter to Secretary Baker Re-
quests He Be Placed on
Inactive List.

Washington.-General John J. Per-
shing, late commander of the American
Expeditionary Forces, has asked Sec
retary of War Baker to put him on the
inactive list. This became known when
a letter from the general to the secre-
tary was made public here. The let
ter, which is dated June Z, follows:
Dear Mr. Secretary:
Referring to our conversation of a
few days ago, wish to say it has long
been my desire to return to civil life.
Throughout by military career I have
been very much occupied, and the as
signments that have fallen to my lot
during recent years have been more
or less important.
1t now appears that my duties are
not likely to be of a character that
will require more than a portion Of
my time. Under the circumstances
feel that after the completion of work
contemplated by the army reorganiza-
tion act could relinquish military du-
ties without detriment to the service
and thus be free to engage in some
a situation should develop to justify
my remaining, 1 contemplate taking the
step indicated within the next few
months.
Should the necessity arise in the time
of crisis or otherwise assure you, Mr..
Secretary, that / shall stand ready to
serve my country in the future as
have in the past.
With great respect and high esteem
I rnmain

And he could go on fishing trips and

And he could play an hour or two; the
books he loved he could peruse;
But that was in the days before his

those glad days of long ago;
4 man could find cCntentment then
with what was given him TO know.
And there. were joys on every hand
from which his soul could pick and
choose;
But that was in the days before his
wife wore fifteen-dOllar shoes.
There is no rest for man today. he's
forced to serve the gods of gold;

Because the women folks today are
