Chapter 16--SectiOn 1.

Our arrival with the signed treaty
in Dublin-on a gray, cold December
merning-was in a sense prophetic
OF what was to follow through all
the bitter weeks of the Dali sessions.
Here were no signs Of jubilation.
There was no one at the station TO
greet us. And yet the newspapers
had acclaimed the treaty as a
triumph. Even the few people
abroad at that early hour seemed
strangely apathetic. Had our four
months OF hard work meant just
nothing at all to the people whom
we had tried to serve? 1t appeared
So"
Collins spoke with an unaCcus'
toned note of sadness In his voice.
Although at this time he did not
make reference to 1t, / recalled an
earlier confidence of his-the real
ambition he hoped one day to realize.
What he wanted above anything else
and / can say this because l have

citizenship and so permit him 10 lay

international Complications
Follow Search and Seizure
of British Ships.

The Federal prohibition enforce
ment organization was turned topsy-
turvy today in a rush to revise
existing regulations to make them
conform to President Harding's de-
Cision placing n curb on the opera
ton of the prohibition navy" be-
yond the three-mile limit.
Drastic rules already promulgate ed
for the maneuvers of the dry naval
forces on the high seas were viz
tual,y withdrawn.
Hurry orders went out from
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
office warning commanders of dry
navy vessels to stop their pro-
miscuous holding up of foreign
ships in search of liquors. The ships
hereafter will confine their cruising
largely to waters within the three
mile zone.
Prohibition officials were upset by
the suddenness of the President 8
edict. 1t followed vigorous protest
lodged with the State Department
by British Ambassador Geddes over
seizures of British vessels laden
with liquor outside the 12-mile limit.
Prohibition officials today were
forced to abandon well-Considercd

general cleanup of all liquor-laden
vessels of foreign registry. 1t is
said that the State Department be.
came alarmed over the possibilities
of Commissioner Haynes latest
orders. The burden of proof by
these orders was upon the master
of the vessel to show that the
liquors carried were not destined
for American shores.
In diplomatic circles today the
prediction was made that British
and other shipping concerns, whose
boats have been seized, will have the
strong backing of the British gov.
ernment in attempts to recover the
vessels and cargoes.

BEAR KILLED WHILE
RAIDING SHEEPFOlD

WILKES. BARRE, Pa, Sept. a.
Walter Anderson, a farmer at West
Corner, Harveys Lake, has been miss
ing sheep from his sheepfold for the
last week. He became suspicious
that the thief was bear and he en-
gagged Orison Kocher, an expert rifle
shot, to kill the thief.
Kocher camped ut the sheepfold
and at a late hour he saw a large
form enter the field. Certain that It
was not a human being, he fired
three times and all Of the shots
reached vital spots.
The bear was black and weighed
200 pounds. Its carcass was given
10 local hospitals.

German Death Rate
Overtaking
IL. Births
BY Universal Service.

BERLIN, Sept. 27.-The
startling fact that the death
rate in Germany is now over
taking the birth rate at an
alarming speed, is revealed
in figures published today.
The government bureau of
statistics reports for the first
quarter of 1922 leads to the
conclusion that the annual ex-
cess of births over deaths is
now only about 100000, or
about half of the pre-war
figure.
The birth rate dropped from
20 per thousand in 1918 to
25.6 per thousand, while the
death rate increased from 1873
to 1876 per thousand.
The birth rate in Berlin
dropped almost 40 per cent.
The enormous increases in the
cost of living and economic
pressure" are the causes given.

eHooTiNG GROUNDS
At PASs-A-l'OUTR9.

A splendid example OF the advant-
ages OF conservation is furnished BY
the Public Shooting Grounds at Pass
a-lOutre, In the delta of the Missis-
sippi. In this delta the state has set
aside $4,000 acres Of marsh land.
where hunters under tho restrictions
Of the law may shoot ducks during
the season. The increase of game un-
der wise conservation everywhere has
resulted in this spot being an ideal
one for the duck hunter. The pur.
pose Of the establishment Of this 70
serve was to protect the game birds
and at the same time to give every
citizen Of Louisiana the use Of the
game of the state. The land being
under the full control Of the state.
the conservation laws may be better
enforced here than elsewhere, and
every hunter can have the utmost
freedom in hunting. While there 10
no difference in the hunting laws
here and elsewhere at the shooting
grounds the agents Of the Conserve
ton Department are always on the
ground, and the gunner can hunt with
the greatest freedom, the only
abridgement of his actions being the
laws Of the state.
The grounds are at the disposal OF
every citizen Of Louisiana who pays
81 for a hunting license, and for visi.
tors from other state who pay the SIS
fee charged non-residents. The visi-
tor with . license has the advantage
of q commodious and comfortable

vantage OF the states hospitality. but
he may use the hunting privilege only
BY registering at the club. The
charge for meals and lodging 10 IS .

ners are the rule. Guides, boats and
decoys cost 50 . day. Ammunition
may be bought at the club, and in
making the trip the hunter need only
take his gun and such personal Of.
fects as he desires.

The Widening Universe.

One of the reasons which led Pro-
fessor HIRAM M. PERKINS to devote
his life savings to erecting at Ohio
Wesleyan University the third larg-
est telescope in the world is given as
the belief that "the study of the stars
outclasses all others in teaching the
majesty and power of Cop and in
intoxicating principles of true re-
ligion."
1t is interesting to nota the stu
pendous increase in the conceptions
of such majesty and power which
have been attained by students of the
heavens since the venerable Ohio as
tronomer began to set aside every
dollar which he could save for the
Wesleyan University telescope. In that
time, to take only one example of this
deepened range Of investigation,
where ornamental spaces were reclx-
oned in hundreds of light years-each
one OF such years measurement of
the leap Of light through space repre-
senting nearly six millions of mil-
lions OF miles-now, through the su-
perseding of the former calculations
Of stellar distances based on the par
allax by amazing spectroscopic an
alysis and ingenious comparisons be-
tween the absolute and apparent
brightness OF stars, clusters and
nebula, such master astronomers as
DR.. ADAMS and Or. SHAPLEY of Mount
Wilson Observatory are calculating
celestial distances in terms OF thou
sands and even hundreds OF thou
sands of light years.
With each improvement in tele-
scopic apparatus fresh certainty is
added to the marvellous estimates and
differences attained by users of pre-
ceding instruments. II must then be
a source Of profound satisfaction to
Professor PERKINS to know that his
gift of telescope, fitted with every
available device and most modern aid
TO the discovery OF new truth con-
cerning the starry universe, will in
evitably increase Nthe resplendent
evidence Of the majesty and power Of
