wider rangers and more persistent
hunters for game than the Cray fox;
for which reason they take heavier
toll
In parts of the country where the
Red fox has become scarce, hunters
have gone to much expense to import
them. Sometimes this leads to trouble
with the farmers, who are always
against foxes, regardless of the color.
The splendid Hunt club, at Gates
Mill Ohio, near the city of Cleveland,
at which | was recently a guest, has
brought in many foxes and they have
multiplied. The farmers in the sur
rounding region are raising a clamor.
These matters are usually adjusted by
the exercise of tact without interfer-
ing with the sport of fox hunting.
which has appealed to manly men for
centuries, and to women who like the
great out of doors.
Wherever he gees. the Red fox
seems to prefer n hill region. One
reason may lie in the fact that in
the hills he can make the kind of den
he fancies. In lower 'ands this would
not he so easy, and in. places the bur-
row would he fooded@by water. The
clay hills, especially the red hills, fit
his notions of a dwelling place.

at is. however, quite clear that
there can be no final assurance of

the earnest wish of this government
that through an interchange of views
with the facilities afforded by con-
ference, it may be possible to find a
solution of Pacific and far Eastern
problems, of unquestioned Importance
at this time. that is, such common un-
derstandings with respect to matters
which have been and are of interna-
tional concern as may serve to pro-
mote enduring friendship among our
peoples.
1T is not the purpose of this gov
ernment to attempt to define the
scope of the discussion in relation
to the Pacific and far East but
rather to leave this to be the sub
ject of suggestions to De exchanged

THE RED FOX

IA; sub-Order, Fissipedia; Genus, Vul-
pes;' Family, Canidae; Species, Fulvus
1! The latin word, vulpes, means fox !;
the family name is from CAMS, dog;
and fulvuS IS Latin for red or fulvous,
| the fox color.
! The length of the Red fox is 40 in
! ches, one inch more than that of the
! Gray fox. This fox is also known as
Back fox, Silver fox and Cross fox, diff
| fercnt colors signifying nothing as 20
! species. A vixen has frequently
brought forth Il Silver whelp, along
with litter of Red ones.
The Red fox that we know ranges
! from Nova Scotia and New Found
land, south to Georgia.
In the sketch of the Gray fox it has
been stated that the Red fox is more
| fCeund, larger in size and heavier in
weight ana much swifter in speed.
DR.. John Henry Logan, in his
charming History of Upper Carolina,
says that the Red fox came over the
mountains from Tennessee, when the
| Gray fox became reduced in numbers: /:
but of this he gives no proof and prob
ably repeated what hunters told him
and hunters are usually inaccurate
| tions.
Relying on the same class of>info:-
nation Mr.. John Burroughs stated
that the Red fox was not found south
of Virginia.
Once Abounded in Upper Carolina.
Formerly, the Red fox abOunded in
Upper Carolina; and at no time was
more abundant than at the close of
the War between the States. Up
Countrymen were assduOuS fox hunt
ers, and nowhere was the sport pur-
sued with more arGor than in the old
Ninety-Si District, the heart of which
were the original counties OF Able
vile, Edgcfieid, Newberry and Laur-
ems.
Crayton McGants, with n rare gen
ius for this class of narration, has i'm
mortalized the Red fox in his story,

some two or three miles distant from
the first.
One historic Red fox had given the
dogs and hunters the slip many a
time. He, seemed a phantom fox.
The trail was always cold when the
dogs struck it.
One day. an idea came to a young
man. a member of the hunt, namely,
that the Fox heard the horn when 1t
was sounded for the dogs in the early
morning, and, guided by this, got a
safe start.
SO on the. next hunt no horn was
sounded, withfthe result that the fox
was started and caught after an eX-
citing race. e
1t will be noted that mammalogists
have put the Red fox and the Gray
for in separate genera, and have al
lied the Gray fox with South Ameri-
can foxes. ~

France, Italy and Japan except for
the insertion OF the respective names

discussed.

enormous disbursements in the rival
ries of armaments manifestly consti-
tute the greater part Of the: encum-
brance upon enterprise and national
prosperity: and avoidable or eXtrava-
giant expenditure of this nature is not
only without economic justification
but is a constant menace TO the peace
of the world rather than an assurance
of it's preservation. Yet there would
seem to be no ground to expect the
halting of these increasing OUTLAWS
unless the powers most largely con-
cerned find a satisfactory basis for an
agreement to effect their limitation.
The time is believed to be opportune
for these powers to approach this sub
iect directly and in conference; and
while. in the discussion of limitation
of armament, the question of naval
armament may naturally have first
place. il has been thought best not
to exclude questions pertaining to
other armament TO the end that all
practicable measures Of relief may
have appropriate consideration. 1t

BURIED EMPTY COFFIN
TO DEFRAUD INSURERS
Texas Man Sentenced TO Two Years in
Prison-Cenfesses He "Died"
to Escape Extradition.

Aspermont, Texas, March 26.-Byrd
Jackson Cochran has been sentenced
to two years in prison for defrauding a
life insurance company of Dallas by
having an empty coffin buried for him
self. He was convicted last night.
Cochran, prosperous farmer and
father of FIVE children, was supposed to
have died at his home on March 10,
1919 The body of the supposedly dead
man was laid out at his home and COW
cred with sheet Religious rites were
performed, coffin was carried out of
the home and buried Three insurance
companies subsequently paid policies to
Mrs. Cochran She died in May OF the
next year. More than Is months after
his death" and burial Cochran was
arrested on a goat ranch after his
grave had been opened and found
empty.
At that time. Cochran said he be.
lieved he had been ''doped" by Mexi-
cans and buried by his family in good
faith and that the Mexicans later dug
him up. He said he had been carried to
New Mexico, where he was wanted on
a murder charge but he escaped.
The latter story was abandoned by
the defense at the trial and the fake
burial was admitted with the plea it
had been performed to escape extradi-
tion To New Mexico.
