MEXICO MAY BAN HUNTING OF BIG GAME BY ALIENS
4 Growing Sentiment in That Country Against Foreign Hunters.
 Says Ben Tinker.

Tucson, Ariz., Aug. 16.--The Amer ican big game hunter may find him. self barred from Mexico, it was stated by Ben Tinker. who guards Mexico's game by appointment of the Mexican government and is back at his home here.
 Tinker said there was growing sentiment in Mexico against foreign hunters. He attributed this to the alleged ruthlessness of some of them in slaughtering deer and other game. He described Mexican officials as determined to prevent Americans from enjoying the big game hunting afforded in the mountains and plains of the northwestern states. Tinker predicted that with the opening of the fall hunting season no hunters would be allowed to cross the border.
 Big game has been diminishing rap idly in Mexico, Tinker said, and President Obregon has determined to put a stop to wanton and useless de- struction. A ten-year closed season on big horn and sheep was started more than a year ago. At the next session of the Mexican congress 1t is expected that a measure will be passed limiting the killing of all classes of game to few months each year with bag limits on deer. turkey and javah hogs.

GENERAL WEYGAND
 STILL RULES SYRIA
SlenceS RamOrs That He Was to
 Resign His Post

Beirut, Syria. Aug, is.-Ths recent return of General MeYgana. the French high commissioner for Syria. has had st least the etfeet of sileneiRs the persistent Tumors that he was not returning to his post after going to France on leave,
 Reports that he would resign imme- diately he reached Paris were set sfioat befere General Weygand turned his hack to Syria. IL was even as- serted that on reaching Paris he in. formed Peineare that he would not return 10 Syria except at the head Of several divisions of troops with which to put down the ineuFsions Of Turkish ba ndits to the north, and maintain oF' der within Syria proper,
 Although his plans are not known, it is safe to assume that General Weygand will make no drastic changes in the French administration. The French system of governing Syria has been, and will probably continue, one of conferring make-helieye independ- encs on the governed. The French have set up a native government with titles Of independence for high offi- eials. There is. for instance, A mas tive President of the Syrian confed- eration" and a governor of Damascus. Actually. these officials are without power. all the authority being left in tho hands of the French. The "President of the Syrian confedera- ton" may not sign an administrative erder Of any kind without approval Of the French high commissioner.
 In the selection of men for posts with high-sounding names the French have displayed much ingenuity. The idea seems to have been to buy of rebels and persons likely to make trouble. The President of the Syrian Confederation" is none other than a former brigand leader in a revolt against the French. Together with his office, the French conferred upon him the highest grade of the Legion of Honor.
 In French administrative circles 1t h claimed that in a country like Syria, with sS unequal religious groups repre- sented in the population, the manda- tory power has to enforce its author ity even though 1t frequently leads to accusations that the French have simply annexed Syria

GERMAN WOMEN ABSOLYE
 KAISER FROM WAR'BLAME Women's Clubs To Set About Proving Germany Blameless-say Allied
 Agreements Caused War

Eisenach, Germany. Aug. 16.-The Amalgamated women's clubs of Ger many have resolved that Germany was not to blame for the beginning of the war in 1914 and held a special meet ing to devise ways and means of sci- entifically assembling material design- ed to prove their contentious to the world. The meeting, attended by women from all parts of the republic was held in the castle of Wartburg, where Martin Luther fought the devil while he was passing ten months un- der the friendly arrest of the elector of Saxony.
 Frau Clara Mende, president of tho organization, in her opening address. asserted that the club women had made arrangements to give wide pub licity to documents which tended to show that 8 secret understanding ex- isted prior to 1914 between the Rus sian czar and other nations and with which Germany had no connection whatever. It was due largely to these secret agreements, she contended. that the war was brought about.
 The onus of starting the war had been put on Germany by the world at large, declared Frau Mende, but the life work of the associated clubs would be to prove otherwise.

INTELLIGENCE CAUSE
 OF FOREST FIRES
Fine Hazard Eliminated With Removal Of Human CareleSSness

San Francisco, Aug ls,-Ths great forests of frs, pines, spruees, hem- locks, redwopds and seausias that stretch over the states Of the Paeihe cosst have been menaeed more seri' eusly hy fires this summer than at any time in recent years, California, in the grin of proIraeiei drought, was the worst sufferer.
 Despite the iinderrlike condition of the California national forests, where the most disastrous of the fires have burned, Paul q, Redingten, United States district forester here, is Of the opinion that there would have been virtually no fire hazard, and would not he al any time, fl human care lessness could he eleminated,
 Tn recent statement, Mir, Reding' ton attributed 10 negligence e57 Of 6ae fires in the state this year.
 About s0 per cent" ha said, ''are caused by careless campers, motorists, fishermen and others who frequent the forests. It is true that every summer . certain number Of fires are started by lightning. hut we do not fear the lightning fires, Generally they are started In exposed places at high ele- ,ations. spots easily diseerned hy our lookout men. IL usually Is much simpler matter 10 put them out than 10 check those Of human origin. Campers are apt 10 cause blazes along stream beds, in places less cool and less accessible"
 So serious has the situation been in the California forests that the federal forester arranged for United states soldiers to patrol certain districts Of the national reserves where the haz- ard was greatest, The federal forest service maintained a force of $50 men in this state throughout the summer, and at times, when several huge fires were burning in different national for ests. thousands of temporary fire- fighters supplemented the regulars.
 At times, when fires were raging uncontrolled and. in sevarel instances, towns were threatened, men near the scenes were conscripted for service. But this was resorted to rarely. At the close of July the fires all had been controlled and most of them were out, but the drought remained. Normally there is little rainfall on the Pacific coast in summer. The dry spell in California. however, had started in the early spring. By the latter part of the summer the federal forests had lost more than s1,500.ooo in timber, with unestimated damage to watersheds
 There also were severe fire losses in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana, though the peril was less acute than in California. Late sum ner rains removed much of the nag ard in Oregon and Washington.
 It was held necessary to close to the public large areas of the California national forests. Such closing never would be required could the element of negligence be removed, the district forester said.
 He and other officials expressed the opinion that education was the only weapop to combat this careessness. With this in view, they have placarded the state with posters and notices re- n,indinr people to put out their camp fires carefully and not to throw un- extinRuisred matches or cigarettes into brush.

Killarney Villagers Sigh
 For Prewar Tourist Trade

Killarney, Ireland, Aug. 16.-An American heiress with large income and few million dollars for the re- storation of the mansion on the es- tate of the Earl of Kenmare would be highly appreciated by the entire population of the village of Killarney.
 The Kenmare mansion was de- stroyed by fire many years ago and the village sighs for the return of the days when the dwelling ranked as one of the most magnificent in the British Isles.
 Killarney has had lean years since the opening of the great war but now tourists, the source of the chief in- come of the village of 5000 which is better known abroad, perhaps, than any other scenic spot in Ireland, are beginning 10 come again.
