SECRETARY HUGHES
BEGINS OUTLINING
NEW FOREIGN POLICY
Will Avoid Any Action Construed As
FavOring Germany Against
Allied Nations.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 14.-Presi-
dent Harding's foreign policy is be-
ing shaped so as to avoid any action
that might construed as siding with
Germany against the allies.
The president and Secretary of
State Hughes are believed to have
adopted this policy-the first phase
Of the new American policy to be
defined-because Of the present in
ternational situation. They realize
that this country cannot afford a sud-
den break with it's allies of the late
war which would embarrass them in
dealing with Germany, still the tech
nical enemy of the United States.
Instruct General Allen.
The first step in line with this
policy was instructions to Major
General Henry T. Allen, commanding
the American army of occupation in
Germany to abide by the decisions OF
the inter-allied Rhineland commits
sion in the establishment of a Gus
toms line along the Rhine to force
mands.
Another evidence of the new ad-
ministration's policy is the decision
not to withdraw the American troops
in Germany Immediately.
A third piece of evidence of the
decision not to try to pass Immediate
ly the Knox peace resolution.

OYSTERMEN HOLD
CONFERENCE WITH
FEDERAL WARDEN
Consider Methods Used by Oyster
Growers to Protect Beds From
Wild Bird Depredations

Representatives of the Olympia
Oyster Growers & Dealers association
and the Thurston County Sportsmen's
association were in conference today
with George A. Lawyer, chief U. S.
game warden, Washington. d. c.. con-
corning the means the oyster growers
have followed to protect the oyster
beds from depredations of wild ducks.
The laws Of Washington, until
amended at the last session of the
state legislature, have permitted the
killing at all times Of scooters, blue
bills, morganzers and grebes. This
provision Of the state law, however.
conflicts with the provisions Of the
federal game laws. which prohibit the
killing of any species of dpcks except
during prescribed open seasons and
the killing of grebes at all times. The
bluebills, scOoters and merganzers at
times have committed serious depre-
dations on the oyster beds and the
oystermen, acting in pursuance with
an understanding with both the fed
eral and state game authorities, had
in 1914, previous to the enactment of
the present federal game laws, en-
ployed a man to patrol the oyster
beds with a motor boat and OCCASION
ally a few birds were killed in the
efforts made to keep the ducks from
the oyster grounds. Sportsmen
throughout the state who were not
wholly familiar with the federal laws,
interpreted the old state game law to
mean that they, also, had the right to
kill these particular species of ducks
at all seasons anywhere in the state.
i'm justice to the sportsmen, however,
1T may be said that they were not ad-
verse to the adoption of any means
authorized by law on the part of the
Ioystermen to protect the oyster beds
from the depredations of these birds.
At the conference Mr.. Lawyer ex-
planned the efforts that had been
made to protect the rice industry In
California, Arkansas and Texas by
the issuance of federal permits au-
thorizing water fowl to be killed by
roce growers to protect the rice crops
rice growers to protect the rice crops
,,quent developments proved to be in
effectual. Thereafter, the rice grow
ers, acting on the suggestion Of the
federal authorities, used black pow
der shells without shot and device
commonly known as the automatic
flash gun, to keep the ducks from the
rice fields and these devices proved
to be very effectual.
The oystermen. who are Keen
sportsmen and interested in the COLI
servation of wild fowl, have agreed to
abandon efforts to kill ducks to pre-
vent depredations on oyster beds and
to employ a man who will go no fur
Their than to use black powder shells
without shot, fired from motor boat.
to keep the birds from the oyster
beds and to give this means OF con-
troll thorough tryout to demonstrate
it's effectiveness. The bureau OF bio
logical survey, U. S. Department OF
Agriculture, is as much interested IN
'furthering the interests OF the oys-
ternen as it is in the protection OF
wild ducks and other migratory birds

The Capital Lumber Co., foot OF
Main street, well-known and estab-
lished lumber wholesale and retail
ers of Olympia, have just completed
their new permanent brick burner.
The Capital Lumber Company was
the first lumber dealers in Olympia
to initiate this undertaking for the
protection against fire. The refuse
from the mill runs continually to the
ing the fire going day and night with
out any extra help as the old open
burners had to have, also making 1t
impossible for any fire to get away to
jeopardize millions of feet of lumber
with the risk of high winds over
taking the Waterman.
The open burners is the thing of
the past with all the up-to-date lum-
Der manufacturers of the Pacific
northwest. Some cities require
closed burners, and it is a known
fact that it is a direct remedy pro-
lection against fire.

RENE V|V|ANI
COMES TO AMERICA
France Sends Former Premier
With Two Main Objects
in View

WASHINGTON. Mar 14.-The
coming TO America Of Rene Viviani,
former French premier, has two
main objects, it was stated in semi
official advices received in Washing
ton. France desires:
l. To sound out the Harding adj
ministration on the question of
French Indebtedness to the United
States and determine whether there
is any possibility of the French debt
being cancelled,
2. To draw the United States into
European affairs by modified"
league Of nations, or by any other
agreement which meets the approval
Of this government.
A considera BILE section of French
opinion, it is indicated here, believes
the United States eventually will for
give the allied debt, or at least part
of it. France, which has received
cash from this country to the extent
of three billion dollars, is eager to
learn Hardings loan policy at the
earliest possible date.
DtSlTC SduCcIidtIOn
The French desire to obtain cancel
latiOn of the American loans has been
stimulated, it is learned, by the real
ization that allied invasion of Ger
many and the exaction of penalties,
is doomed to failure as a means of
continuing the German reparations.
Linked with the reparations and
loan situation is the French opinion,
stronger today than ever before that,
some form of American cooperation
Is necessary to the success of French
policy in Central Europe. In order
to gain this support, according to ad-
vices reaching Washington, Viviani
is ready to concede as much modifi-
cation of the league as the Harding
administration may demand. France
believes, according to the opinion
here, that with American backing,
she will meet greater success in col
lecting from Germany.
Europe Tries Persuasion
Officials here pointed out that re-
Gently there has been several distinct
efforts. emanating from Europe to
persuade the United States to take a
hand in European politics. Viviani's
role is seen as an effort to supply the
personal contact necessary to such a
development.
In feeling out the United States
on the loan question, Viviani is said
to couple this issue with imminent
tariff legislation in this country. He
will point out, is understood, that the
erection of tariff barriers by the
United States will restrict the impor-
tation of French goods and make it
increasingly difficult for France to
pay her indebtedness.

STATE COAL MINES WILL
CLOSE WEDNESDAY FOR
INDEFINITE PERIOD
Mine Operators and Union Members
Fail to Agree on Proposed
Wage Reduction.

SEATTLE, Mar. 5.-Two-thirds
of the coal mines in the state will
close Wednesday for an indefinite pc
riod, as result of the failure of
mine operators and union members
to agree on the proposed wage re-
duction. Operators announced that
on March 16, a wage cut Of "a per
cent would be put into effect. Work
ers are firm in their refusal to ac-
cept such terms. The miners, they
say, are waiting for a national re-
adjustment of wages.
