CIRCULAR FOR TRAPPERS HAS

Predatory Animal Hunter Sets Forth Directions
 for Trapping Wolves

A mimeographed circular. "Sug- gestions on Trapping Predatory Animals" has just been issued by the Alaska Game Commission fov the benefit of Alaskan trappers, it was announced today by H. w Terhune, Executive Officer Il was prepared by R. K. Stewart, Chief Predatory Animal Hunter for Alaska, who is surveying pred. atory animal conditions in interior and western Alaska and giving personal instructions to trappers with whom he comes into con tact
 It was in response to the many requests that are being made through the office of the Cover. nor and to the Alaska Game Com mission for information on the trapping of coyotes and wolves that the circular was issued Copies may be had either at the Governors office or from local Commission headquarters.
 Statement of Conditions
 The circular is prefaced by the
The Daily Alaska empire., 1927-11-21

following statement of general conditions:
 Coyotes are apparently spread ing over the Territory. Having entered from the eastern interna- tional boundary, their drift is westerly and southerly until now they have become common throughout most of the eastern part of the Territory.
 "If is well established fact that coyotes prey upon the water fowl. ptarmigan and the grouse fanilv. Their food habits being similar to the fox, they reduce the food which would normally be eaten by the fox and other fur bearers and by the reduction of their food supply the fur-bearers cannot increase as rapidly as they otherwise would.
 Coyotes arc credited with kill. ing fox and other fur-bearers, which they probably do. It ,s known that they will run a col ony of foxes out of their dens and utilize the dens for them. selves to rear their young. B this, in many instances they force the expectant mother foxes out of the warm nests that have been prepared for their young and at { time of year when the mother fox cannot rpeparo now den, conse' quently the young perish. It ,s without question that there is 2 considerable loss of foxes through this cause. It is reported b. trappers in sections where coyotes have been present for several years, that they are destroyins muskrats. They are also charged

"Mustord'' Touchy Word in German Flag Debate

BERLIN, Nov. 21-One has to speak softly nowadays in Germany when talking about mustard. The "gold" in the republican black red-gold flag acts like a red flag on a bull to many Germans who have strong "color" views. The gold is often a somewhat dingy yellow shade, and this is irrever- ently called mustard" by the lads of the village and other purists.
 One of these recently shouted Mustard" when an automobile passed along the street carrying a republican banner on the hood. The owner promptly stopped the car and gave the man to police for insulting the republican colors.
 Accused in court said he was very fond of mustard, had just been eating sausages with plenty of it, and coming out of the res. taurant had talked of mustard with no reference to the countrys flag.
 The explanation seemed lame to the court. which inflicted a fine of 70 marks. The defendant ap- pealed. and the public prosecutor demanded sentence of two weeks imprisonment, but on the plea that the heinous action had been committed lon sudden i'm pulse," the penalty was ultimate. ly reduced to fine of 150 marks roughly $37.50.
