measures for the protection of wild

to the restrictions on hunters, these
regulations have not been sufficient to
maintain these game birds in their

upon those who oppressed the civilian
population, destroyed towns aud de-
ported helpless people into Germany.
The British specialized in the list of
those naval officers who violated the
laws of the war. For instance, In
their list the following names occur:
Lieut.. Capt. Kiesewetter-fo sink

Feb. 20, 1918
Lieut.. Capt. valentiner-For torpedo

April, 1916, from an airship.
The German government avoided
tnking any action In the matter as
long as possible. Finally, II presented
reply TO the allies in which 1t set
forth the view that to arrest the men
named and attempt to hand them
over to the allies would be to precipi-
tate grave events i'm Germany.
II offered to put on trial any of its
subjects before the German high
courts, provided the allied governments
prepared prima facie cases against
them, showing that prosecution was
justifable. This view Of the Ger
man government finally prevailed.
Prepared Seven Cases.
The, British prepared seven cases In
full. These were the cases against
Heynen, Muller Thinks and Newman,
charged with acts Of cruelty to prison
ers of war at various camps, and the
following naval cases: q

Duck Refugees
in Marsh Areas

been made permanent refugees under
the guardianship of the Department of
Agriculture, and many private pre-
serves, some formed by artificial
means, have been established where
the birds are protected while nesting.
In addition, in number Of cases,
rigid local restrictions have been
placed upon hunters.
Investigating the Ducks.
AS a means Of cooperating In such
efforts to maintain and increase the
number Of waterfowl, the biological
survey Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has undertaken
investigations of the general conditions
under which wild ducks live and
thrive, coupled with counts Of the
birds found In areas varying In char
acter. During three summers, field
studies were made dealing with wild
ducks In the Bear river marshes in
Utah, report Of which has just been
published by the department in De-
partment Bulletin 936. Wild Ducks and
Duck Foods of the Bear River Marshes,
Utah.
During the three seasons devoted to
this work IL species of ducks and the
Canada goose were found breeding In
the region included In the Bear river
marshes, which cover an extensive
area at the northern end of Great
Salt Lake. In an enumeration made
during May and June, 1915. Of the IL
species Of breeding ducks $500 pairs
were counted and 1t Is believed that
this number represents between 60 and
100 per cent of the total number Of
breeding ducks occurring here that
season.
Vast Number In One Region.
Allowing five young reared to ma
tlrity as the average for each pair,
and considering 1916 as an average
season, the bulletin states that. at
conservative estimate, between $4,000
and 10000 wild ducks, native to the
marsh, are to be found there at the
close of the breeding season.
1t was found that, In addition to
the large number of birds reared on
the Bear river area, many other ducks
came in after the nesting season to re-
main there until fall. That birds from
the Bear river section range widely
after leaving these marshes has been
shown by records of ducks that have
been banded and released there and
subsequently, were shot elsewhere. Rec
ords thus obtained show that birds re-
leased near the mouth of Bear river
In migration cover the region from
Oklahoma to Texas and west to Cal
ifornia. The department urges the es-
tablishment of greater number OF
preserves where wild fowl may breed
and rest unmolested and find an am
pie supply Of food.
