The killing of the animals from which
the skins were taken will result in

are employed The skins of NIL tn"
animals they capture or kill must be
sold and the money turned into the
United States treasury. Nor are the
hunters or trappers permitted to nc
cent bounties. But there Is not the
same temptation in that respect that
there used to be. for since the govern

A retired prizefghter amused NM

he encouraged to quarrel with other
dogs for the sake of the pleasure or
Witnessing the encounter, and 1t was
his boast that no dog of his was ever
beaten. One day, however, when out
for a walk with one of his favOrite AMI
mails II dog was met which proved too
good for that of the prizehghter. The
combat was brief but decisive, and the
pride of the owner of the defeated dog
was Dc eply wounded. He was furious.

Piles of Shells.
The amount of unexploded shells In
the region is almost incredible. Small
collections Of shells are not uncOm
mon; and not far from Laon. between
the highway and the railway running
parallel a few hundred feet away,
there is a large ammunition dump
here shells of various calibers are
piled in cords like firewood, hut un
fenced and exposed TO the weather.
The French military authorities are
clearing up these places us rapidly as
possible. but on account of the lack
of lien the work goes slowly,
The shells buried In the soil are

II is seriously proposed to abandon
many of the villages in the devas
laled zone of France. compensate the
owners Of the land, and turn large
areas into forest. In seventy-five Or
II hundred years the investment would
have reimbursed the state for It's oht-
lay. and by that time, in case IL should
be deemed best To use the renewed
soil for agriculture. the explosives
hidden underneath would become
harmless.
