 Like most of the ground in this region. MT. McIlhenny's 100000 acre tract is of extremely fertile soil and suited to many profitable crops. But he is developing 1t not with agricul- ture in mind. Instead he Is organiz- Ing an interlacing system of canals, ponds and lakes. Many of these have been and all will be, sown with such game bird delicacies as banana water lilies, wild celery, coontails, etc, to attract the fowl.
 "The reason why the wonderful game supply of 40 years ago has dis appeared" said Mir. McIlhenny, Ifs that the great states such as Iowa, Illinois. Indiana and Ohio, across the heart of the continent, have been cul- tivated to the point where migratory birds can find no place to alight and feed If we do not develop win ter home for these great flocks in they will pass from Canada and the Arctic, onto South America. and become only a memory in the United States"

WILD BIRDS NEED
 NOT FEAR THE SNOW
Relief Expedition Takes Over 100000 Acres of Feeding Land

New Orleans, July 31.-Reinforced
 by staff of seven wardens in his
 own employ by the moral support of
 the state of Louisiana, to which he
 only recently conveyed the Rockefel- 7. Ter, Sage and Rainey- McIlhenny game
 preserves, and by good sportsmen { everywhere. Edward Avery McIlhen-
 ney is now undertaking a new stew
 ardship in the interest of wild game E protection. Already an informal ad- wiser and oyerseer for the state in connection with more than 500 square miles of territory, MT. McIlhenny has taken control of some 100000 acres of land in the heart of the Gulf coast game regions.
 MT. McIlhenny has for some time owned 7S,000 acres of ground and only few days ago obtained 22,000 acres more in the wild fowl feeding grounds. This land constitutes prac- tically all that Is left of the feeding grounds except the territory in the game preserves. MT. McIlhenny, aft Ter several months required to clear up title to all the ground in question, has I JdoI hHiiOulictu HIS purchase.
 The significance of MT. McIlhenny's announcement is in the fact that with his acquisition of the ground, the mil lions of duck, geese and other game birds which come from the north to feed here in winter are assured of permanent feeding grounds and per manent protection against unscrupul- ous hunters and commercial exploita- ton. Already Mir. McIlhenny is being congratulated by sportsmen for his farsightcd program.
 MT. McIlhenny has announced no plans with regard to the tract he has acquired other than to say that game will be protected and safeguarded. With this 100000 acres in hands friendly to wild life, game will be safeguarded in all the territory from the mouth of the Mississippi to Texas.
 Seventy-f1ve miles of coast line along the gulf will be protected and the total area inland is approximately TOO square miles. This territory in- cludes the Rockefeller Foundation, of S8.000 acres; the Rainey- McIlhenny and Louisiana State Wild Life Ref ugees of 62,000 acres; the Sage Foun- dation, of 7S,Oo0 acres, and the prop erty now controlled by Mir. McIlhenny. The Gulf of Mexico is the south line, and the White Lake and the Louisiana rice fields form the northern bound ary. Needless to say this territory is a paradise for birds coming from as far north as the Arctic circle to feed for the winter-as well as for hun ters, If they could get into the grounds and run wild.
 Sportsmen generally are familiar with MT. McIllhenny's work in the di- 1 rection of game conservation. Begin ! ming several years ago he devoted much time and money to acquiring ground for the game preserves. Be- sides giving land of his own, he ob- 1 tained grants from others. He now has on his own territory a squad of seven wardens who patrol the district | and see that the laws are obeyed. | They are safeguarding not only the

WOULD MAKE DIVORCE FOR WAR BRIDES|
Many American Soldiers Deserting
 Young French Wives

PARIS, July s.-One by one the American soldiers who stayed here with their French wives after the war, thinking they could earn a livelihood, are giving up the fight and returning to America
 The latest to be repatriated was a former service man of 21, who was struggling to support a young wife and two babies on 20 francs a day as a laborer in a cemetery.
 Forced to live in small dark room and eating insufficiently and badly the whole family suffered In health, the two babies contracting pneu- monia.
 The doctors fee of 20 francs a visit made it impossible for the young couple to pay the rent of their wretched quarters or to secure nour- ishing food.
 In despair they appealed to the American Aid society. The organiza- tion tided theim over their difficult ties and has just now booked pas sage for the family back to the United States.
 Meanwhile American attorneys in Paris are attempting to get the French laws amended so that hun dreds of French girls, who have been deserted by their American dough- boy husbands, can get divorces.
 Under the French law 1t Is impos- sible for wives who have been aban- doned to get divorces because the domicile of French woman always follows her husband.
 when an abandoned wife seeks & divorce here she is informed that she must go to the United States, find bar husband and then institute pro- ceedings.
 This is usually an impossibility but even if she did go to America there would be very little likelihood that the husband could ever be traced.
 Unless the law is amended 1t means that hundreds of deserted wives will never be able to remarry.

By CARL VICTOR LITTLE Iseased Wire to The AEe-HeraId.)

PARIS. July 9.-While a packed court room thundered with applause, , Ernest Judet, SO-year-old French editor who returned from exile to vindicate his honor. was acquitted of charge of treason and conspiracy with the Germans during the World war by jury that had been out but , minutes.
 Since the Bola Pascha case no po- litical trial in France has aroused e such interest and passion. Those who daily damned the stuffy court ~ room knew that behind 1t lay the t fierce, implacable hates Of two ia nous and relentless old men, Georges ,o CIemenceau, S2year-old Tiger of France" and the aged Judet.
 "Clemenceau bounded Judet and tried to get him on the guillotine, Judet's attorney cried dramatically in court Monday. "Clemenceau is one of those gods for whom Ven- seance is pleasure
 Charge Trumped Gp.
 The whole charge against Judet was trumped up because of a long . standing feud between the two men. , the attorney charged. p Emphasizing every point of his ? sensational story. he told how in 2 S93 Judet, as editor of .L Eclair' published a story saving Clemenceau had sold himself to England. Judet's opinions were of value. and bulked large in the world of politics. Glenn enceau, taunted on all sides with Ju- det's charge, challenged the news paper man to a duel.
 The duel was fought in the sub urbs of Paris. hut Clemenceau's wrath was not apl~ased. He still sought vengeange.
 His moment came according to the attorney. when he became premier. r ln 1917 France knew, ana the world knew, that the German secret service had excellent sources of Information inside the French lines.
 Bola Pascha Caillaux and Alemey- reda faced trial. Judet was sus- pected of having given valuable m formation to the Germans Inter cepted letters and messages seemed to incriminate him.

 Before he could be arrested. how ever, he fled to Switzerland. In Paris the French police continued to seek evidence against him. A mass !, of such evidence was produced at the s trial. Judet's lawyer declared that it was forged by the police Tn orosr to sustain their story Two months ago Judet came back to France He came willingly, freely. knowing he would face ar rest. trail and possible death.
 Eighty. in falling heAhh. hs re- - turned to clear his name before ne died

 His trial opened June 2I. The evil dence of the prosecution seemed to justify conviction. Against this evf- dence Judet produced flood of wit nesses to his loyalty and service Tor France.
 Had he been convicted of treason against the France he loved. Judet planned suicide.
 If you send him to jail you may as well condemn him to death his lawyer told the court II know what his intentions are if imprisoned.'
 The jury freed him, with honor Paris Monday night thrilled with the story Ernest Judet, eXonerated, is free to spend his last days beneath the Tri-Color.
