WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. - The United States is adhering for two reasons, among others, as to strict secrecy concerning gold purchasing abroad. These are to avoid spur ring other nations into monetary war and also to keep spectators in the dark.

4O-DAY BEAVER
 SEASON IS SET
 IN s. E. ALASKA
Game Regulations Modified to Open Beaver Sea-

Limited opening of the season on beaver in Southeast Alaska, ef- fective December 10, next, tor a 4O-day period has been approved by the Secretary of Agriculture on the recommendation of the Alaska Game Commission, it was an- nounced today by E. M. Goddard, Acting Executive Officer. It ap- plies to all of Southeast Alaska with the exception of Baranof and Chichagof Islands. where planted stocks are protected. and the post ed area in Mendenhall Valley.
 Beaver trapping has been pro- hibited in the district for the past two years. While there has been a substantial increase in the sup ply during the closed period, or iginally the Commission felt that they should not be disturbed for another year or two. by which time it was believed the blank areas would be stocked again.
 Recognizes Local Need
 "The Commission several weeks ago. recognizing that conditions were not improving as much as it had been hoped, and realizing that trapping constitutes one ot the best sources of relief to the individual, decided to open the season on beaver as much as the stock warrants" MT Goddard said ITO that end it recommended the necessary amendment to the regu- lations to the Secretary of Agri- culture:

By F. E. COUPON

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The fu- ture of Americas wildfowl and the sport of wildfowling hangs in the balance this fall as ducks and geese wing their way south for another hunting season.
 The specter of extinction is fly ing with the wildfowl flocks. They are believed to have gained little or nothing in numbers since 1881 when the birds wree reduced to a record minimum. If the birds prove to be no more plentiful this year than two years ago, say govern ment officials, increased restric- tions on hunting will be neces- sary.
 The only hope for the future of both the birds and the sport of duck shooting is in reducing the number of birds killed, says w. C. Henderson, assistant chief Of the Bureau of Biological Survey.
 T am not speaking he goes on, "of a catastrophe far in the future but of thing so imminent that it may be seen by most of uS.''
 CanvasbackS, redheads, scaups blue -winnged teal, and others of the so-called diving ducks" are expected to be at an exceedingly low ebb though pintails, mallards and black ducks may be fairly plentiful. Drought played a part in causing the record shortage of birds in 1881 by reducing the marshland breeding areas in the north.
 The shortage is mainly charge able, however, to over-shooting says Henderson. The slaughter by hunters has not left breeding stock among the birds large enough to utilize even what breeding areas exist.
 Almost the only encourage ment that can be found in the mi gratory game bird situation" he says, lis derived from the fact that at least the sportsmen in this country are alarmed and alarmed and are ready to support any action that may be neces- sary" He urges that sportsmen practice strict moderation in shoot ing and kill chiefly from among the more abundant species of birds.
 The daily bag limit on ducks this year has been cut from 15 to 12, of which number not more than eight may be canvasbacks, redheads, scaups, teals. shovellers or gadwells. Possession limits are reduced from 30 to "A on ducks and on the excepted species named above from 20 to Is.
 Shooting near baited areas will be permitted this year, action on a proposal to prohibit such shoot ing having been postponed. Brant may not be hunted at all on the Atlantic coast because a myster- ious disease has almost wiped out eel grass, their principal food in that region.
 For the first time since 1880 cackling geese may 0e hunted dur ing the waterfowl season. In Wis consin and New York the open season for rails and gallinuies is the same as for waterfowl in those

 Although possessing no pie thora of wealth, the Territory has so far managed to escape the necessity of seeking a loan from the government and pre- ent indications are that it will continue to do so unless condit- ions become much worse than they have been.
