COMPLAINT was made in Seward this week that fishing boats were kill ing the seals on Seal rocks at the mouth of the harbor While there is no law to prevent these animals being slaughtered for sentimental reasons the few that congregate in these haunts should be preserved. They are objects of great curiosity to tourists and invariably are mentioned in their articles in eastern papers. At the pre- sent time the law allows seals and sea- gulls to be killed, but it is bad law inasmuch as it destroys life which is necessary to preserve the balances provided at a check by nature When we attempt to improve upon the laws of nature we generally find that they suit is some pestilence, epidemic or plague of insects or plant life. The English sparrow and the German carp are examples Likewise the water hya- cinth which choke the waters of the southern streams. The seals may eat salmon, as fish are their natural diet but they may also eat other fishes which would prey upon the salmon The gulls are natures scavengers. and without them our harbors would be- come uninhabitable, or at least breed disease and pestilence

This unexpected meeting with Camille at a London dinner party had been hard test of Elliotts self control
 But he had steeled himself to ad- dress her as an ordinary acquaint- ance. and to act as though the very recent past had not existed.
 His words to her in the drawing room had been entirely for her sake not his own.
 T owe you an apology" he had said, flor presuming to say the things did. up In the highlands. For ever imagining there could be anything between us. I want you to forget every word of it."
 Camille had misunderstood the mo- tive that had prompted this. Her re- ception was, accordingly frigid
 Indeed, at the earliest moment, she had turned her back on him, and be- come Immensely preoccupied with a long-haired poet who had burned in- cense at her shrine for some consid- erable tinre-in vain.
 N'Ae HdQ even LIT beu With LllS ln- occuous youth-and took care that Elliott Glynn should observe the little comedy.
 Alas! did she but know it. it only made matters worse. Camille hadn't been sincere, he told himself, pain gnawing at his heart. She was young. fond of fun and admiration, and breaking mems hearts was a hobby with her, as 1t was with many girls.
 He didn't blame her. He was gen. erous and broad minded
 But he suffered ali the same.
 The hostess buzzed about him. He had done considerable pioneer work in Africa, his name was well known. therefore he was the lion of the eve ming.
 And she longed to make him roar
 To talk about himself. however. wasn't in his line at all And the admiring ladies who gathered about him fto Camille's disgusD found him a trifle "difficile," and silent
 Despite his valiant intentions. there was a vague idea forming in his mlnd that when Camille rose to leave the party, she might permit him to escort her home. He ionged to bs alone with her, away from this mean ihsiesS nun ol coiiNeis sdelon, anu lIn- pertinent inquisitors.
 But the young woman frustrated this by departing rather early, ac- companied by the long-haired poet. She gave Glyn the most frigid little farewell bow in the world, and not the ghost of chance to speak to her again. She would show him what she thought of him. she told herself
 The 10 days that elapsed between that fateful evening and her de- parture for South Africa were hectic ones.
 For Camille was popular, and had many friends.

Elizabeth, her housekeeper, who was very loath to let her go, but who-with the dread of change which is characteristic of her class--refused to come along as personal maid, made for Camille the time-honored linen holdall which is to be found in the equipment of every ocean going fe- male. and which adorns the cabin wall, its many pockets full of hair pins. brushes, combs. bottles of per fume, boxes of powder and a hun dred odds and ends for which there is no space elsewhere.
 The long haired poet proposed for the fourteenth time and was refused but consoled himself by sending the hard hearted girl copy of his verse tfor the publication of which he had paid himselfD and which was of such very ardent nature that lt seemed a miracle the purple covers didn t frizzle up from internal combustion.

GERMAN ATHLETES MAY BE ALLOWED TO

Rx Assnniat1d Prsss

Paris, January s0.--Germany's re- admission into international sport organizations and her consequent participation in the Olympic games in 1924 are foreseen today by a sport ing periodical. This will be direct consequence of the invitation to Ger many to participate in the coming Genoa conference, predicts the pe- riodical.
 Inasmuch as Germany has been barred from international sports un- til she has been admitted to member ship in the League of Nations. it Is concluded that her admission to the Genoa conference is decidedly more important, and this, the periodical thinks, will be used by the neutral nations to obtain German participa- ton in international athletics.
