 In TWo-Day Drive

Montgomery December 1.-The hunting season in Alabama is at it's height. and sportsmen who have been in the field have brought to Montgomery startling stories of the abundance of game, especially quail which are said to be exceedingly plentiful in every county in the state.
 John Wallace, commissioner of conssr- vation, received a report Friday of deer hunt in the western part of Alabama in which number of we'll known citizens participated, and from one of the party he learned that 31 bucks were bagged dur ing the two-days hunt. Some of the hunt CTS on the stands noted, 1t is said, as high as 5 deer in a day.
 Reports received at the state capitol in- dicate that an unusually large number of hunters licenses are being issued by the probate judges of the various counties, as under provisions of statute enacted by the legislature, every person who hunts on lands other than he owns or rents must first secure license. Dur ing the week the conservation commits sioner has addressed communications to the various sheriffs of the state, who under the law. together with thor depu- ties, are ex-offcio game and fish war dens, seeking to enlist their active co- operation in securing a strict enforce ment of the game laws of the state.
 That the month of December is perhaps the busiest time for hunters, more es- pecially Christmas week, is pointed to by the commissioner who urged due. diii- eepce in enforcement of the statutes as to hunting and fishing, thereby eliminating the excessive destruction of game now so abundant, in the state

LIKE TURK HUSBANDS
Some Striking Cases Found By Ameri-
 cans Among Armenians
By Associated Press

By AS6OclateQ frcBB
 SamSoun, ASIa Minor, November o.- Entente and American officials and re- lief workers entrusted with the task of. restoring Armenian girls and women to their families have found that many of the girls who in the war were forcibly taken into harems and became the ln- voluntary wives of the Turks and Arabs preferred to continue as Turkish wives, and were unwilling to leave. their hus- bands.
 They feared the hardships of life among fellow countrymen who knew of their servitude Some of the girls became at tached to their foreign husbands and said they liked the life into which they had fallen. Where the girls had chil- dren the problem was doubly hard.
 The lot of some of the educated women and girls was much more pit;able than that of those who had enjoyed no ad- yautages American women relief work CTS found one case in Central Turkey especially perplexing. A girl who was graduated from one of the American mission colleges was taken captive in the early part of the war. A prominent Turkish official. whose only wife had re- gently died, took the Armenian girl into his home. His mother and children be- came much attached 10 the girls whose superior education made her an impor- tant member of the community
 The 1urk was very lHIiutHtidi anu, through the influence of the young Ar inenian, saved Armenian refugees from persecution. He proposed to the girl and she finally married him. When the re- lief workers went to the Turkish home tn find whether the young bride desired to be freed from her husband. there was consternation in the house. The Turk and his mother and children were devoted to the girl and begged the Americans not to force her to leave. The young wife had one child.
 The relief workers talked to the Ar menian wife privately and told her they would not insist upon her leaving If she wanted to stay. She told them she could not leave her child; that the Turk had been kind to her and she felt that by remaining in the village. as the wife of it's most prominent official, she could be of greater assistance to Armenians than in any other way. The Turkish husoiind and his family were ovefjoyed when the Americans told them they would not take the girl away. He promised he would noi take another wife ana gave the Americans rugs and other gifts as an ex- pression of appreciation

By Associated Press

London, November 12.-Former Ger man naval officers. even those who served on German warships in the bat tie of Jutland, are in disgrace in Ger many, say some of them who have arrived here. The captain of cruiser which fought in the Jutland battle and German naval lieutenant came into the Thames the other day as officers of a Swedish cargo boat. Both said 1t was almost impossible for former naval officers to make a living in their own country.
 We are considered to be in dis grace, said one. "The business com- munity believes that the fleet betrayed the fatherland and caused its ruin, and the result is that no German trader or ship owner will employ us. Many Of us, therefore, have been forced to take service abroad and several have found employment In the American m ercantile marine."
