Maine Hunters at Odds Over Question
of State Bounty for Killing Bears

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YonK HEaArp.
BANGOR, April 15.-Sidney r. Bonsey
OF Bangor takes up the cudgels for the
much absised bear. reproaches the advo-
Gates of a bounty as selfish and un-
sportsmanlike and declares that unless
the bear gets more decent treatment his
kind will soon cease to exist In Maine
and the state will be robbed of its best
game animal, to the great loss OF future
generations of hunters. Mr.. Bonsey says
there aren't many bears. at that He
continues
IL have hunted in the Moosehead and
Chesuncook Lake region since 1909. from
Chamberlain Lake TO the Penobscot
South Branch. and the whole length OF
Hancock county also, and in all this
time have never seen or heard a bear.
Some people will try and make you be-
lieve you can meet bear almost any
time IN the woods. This is not so. and
our State is being ridiculed by other
States on account OF our nop-protection
and bounty laws on bearf. Let us wake
up to the seriousness OF this question
and save what few bears are left
You can't blame the bear for killing a
sheep now and then II he Is hungry.
Probably you or | would do the same
rather than starve.
II doubt II the bear does half the
damage that the fox does. One man says
he can trap one hundred bears in one
hundred days. ! will wager he can't
trap ten bears IN six months.

best game animal we have in the state

GIBBS SEES LEADERSHIP LACKING AT GENOA FARLEY

delegates are under stern instructions
hostile TO what Poincare believes to
be the French interests. The German
delegates are unable to bring forward
any proposition which would involve
an alteration OF the peace treaty and
are therefore dumb men on all ques-
tions which are most vital to their
political and economic life. They
can make but feeble protests against
financial doom and cold statements of
facts which make clear Germany's
rotten state.
The Russian delegates will en-
counter hard opposition to any plea
for reconstruction of the Soviet Gov
ernment from France and Great Brit
ain, while they know that their vast
country, with 150000,000 people, must
get great aid or fall into further and
more frightful CULTS of ruin. Yet they
know also that their problem will be
the dominating interest of the con-
ference, that their very ruin makes
them a danger to all Europe, and that
even those who hate them most see
the necessity for bringing them back
to trade relations with the outside
world and for restoring them to some
thing like moral and Industrial health
They are like lepers sitting among
men afraid of dreadful infection, and
upon this fear they will base their
claims and their demands with tre-
mendous force.
Never has there been such a strange
drama as this conference since the
peace at Versailles. 1t is to decide in
a large measure the fate of the world.
The future Of peace or war will be af-
fected by it's decisions, it's chances of
agreement and its possible failure. If
the journalists Of the world could re-
port what secret thoughts are work.
| ing in all those brains gathered in the
council chamber it would make strange
reading. Those German delegates,
! turning over innumerable papers,
| scrawling lines and figures on their
blotting pads-are they estimating the
chances Of a Russo German alliance,
the possible strength of Ii, the disad-
vantages and the inevitability of it if
Germany is pressed too hard by
France?
Dismal View of Future.
The French delegates are men who
understand figures and are realists
who sometimes look ahead at future
France. What if Germany defaults
| In her payments? What If Great
Britain demands payment of her debts
as the United States demands pay
ment of her debts from Great Britain
What is going to happen forty years
from now when Frances birth rate
! has gone dwindling down il Germany
and Russia get strong again? Sup
posing some one were to get up at the
conference and put all the cards down
on the table face upward if some dele
gate of a great Power. careless of his
political life, were to rebel at his in
structions and be a truth teller.

Special Cable to THE New York HERALD.
LONDON, April 15.-It is still possible
that something will happen at Genoa
to make that conference an important
milestone on the long uphill road of
world progress toward peace and pros
perity after war which was ruinous
to victors and vanquished. In the last
article | wrote despondently of it's
chances, and there Is no visible sign
that big problems are to be dealt with
In a big way by big men. Lots OF
little men have gathered in that port
OF Italy--men with minds narrowed
down to their national interests, eager
to press their claims against all others
and obstinate in their refusal to look
over their own frontiers.
Lots of thoughtful men are there,
but only as underlings, preparing facts
and figures for those who will use
them as lawyers use their briefs. Here
and there are men with an immense
range Of international knowledge, IL
Illuminated by passionate idealism in
behalf of suffering humanity and des-
perately anxious to deal with the
problems of reconstruction and arith-
metic on higher planes of thought
than party politics or national rival
ries in which hatred is dominant. But
these men are mostly lockers on or
subordinate to the official delegates.
Men of the Press the Thinkers.
In the old palaces of Genoa and in
italian cafes and eating houses there
are groups of men whose conversation
Is wide, ranging over all questions OF
international politics and finance. They
talk very freely of the almost inevita-

mon sense takes the place OF passion
and insincerity. Unofficially they ad-

tions, Russian reconstruction, the de-
mobilization of European armies. the
cancellation OF interallied debts and
the stabilization of foreign exchanges
there will be an ugly crash in Europe.
reacting on nations far beyond her
confines.
I have met some OF these men in
Paris, Rome. Berlin, Vienna, Moscow,
Constantinople, New York and Lon
don. They are men who know. They
are men who understand. 1t is their
business to feel the pulse of the peo-
Pile, to study the secret tides and cur
rents of political thought and action
and to report the facts of life.
Some of them are international jour-
nalists now gathered at Genoa to
measure up its chances. They are
limited in the expression of their ideas
according to the politics Of their papers
and the prejudices of their peoples
just as conference delegates are linn
tied by their Governments, their for
eign offices and national passions.
These press men talk more freely than
they write, while the delegates talk
more but less freely than they think.
They argue, moralize and indulge in
ironical comment on political intrigues
and personalities. and though most of
them are agreed on the fundamental
necessities Of the world situation. they
have to be cautious in truth telling
when they send their dispatches and
leave unsaid many things which they
have discussed openly among their
comrades of pen and press.
Genoa is a meeting place now Of
minds from every country in the civil
ized world and Of some countries
whose claim to civilization could
hardly be allowed. In each one Of
these minds there is the conviction
that, with bold leadership, truth and
common sense, much could be done
to reshape world conditions and re-
establish the world markets. But there
are not many, it seems, who believe,
for one moment that common sense
will prevail or that bold leadership
will carry the Genoa conference to
triumphant results.
Delegates Restricted.
Lloyd George, upon whom the great
est hopes were set, was made to sur
render his liberty before setting out

sailles, no longer has the support Of
