20 Years Ago Today-The wars
epicenter was again in the East. A
British column defeated Arabs on the
western frontier of Egypt, averting a
new threat to the SueZ Canal Rus
slams occupied Hamadan, Persia, after
driving out the Turks.
There was far more significance to
the victory than appeared on the sur
face. German agents had been active
in Persia and Afghanistan, seeking to
bring these countries into the war on
the Tcutonic side. The move was de-
signed to make it a holy war, with all
Islam rising against Britain, thus
forcing the diversion Of troops from
the Allied line in France and break
ing the British hold on Suez and In
dia.
In pursuance of the plan, Persian
officials who opposed entrance into
the war were assasSinatcd and AL
lied conSuls and businessmen were
murdered. Russian forces invaded
the country to restore order and pro-
tect Allied interests. Thus Persia be-
came another Belgium, a battle

here. For while the people now MAX

Darling Dra,cs Needy Ducks,
But President Is Deaf to Plea
Roosevelt Writes Jocular Letter Saying
M'CarL Won't Let Him Build for
Human Bein gs, Much Less Game.

When Jay N. CDing) Darling, head
OF the Bureau of Biological Survey.
wanted $4,000. 900 from the $4,000
100000 work relief fund to extend his
game refuge program, the famous
neutrality-suspicious. combined wit
and line in one of the most skillful ap-
peals for money ever handed Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The Chief Executive rejected the
appeal in an equally witty reply to
his popular bureau chief, who last
Spring brought Congress to terms on
a threat to quit and came on with q
100000 appropriation.
The Darling letter started out with
a caricature Of Mr.. Roosevelt, big
smile and big blue pencil, drawing a
line through an item on a piece of
paper reading MY $4,000. .000." Near
by in the cartoon. Darling himself is
sketched tearing his hair and leaping
skyward. A parenthetical note keyed
to this cartoon explained: According
to Rex" (TugwelD.
Draws Needy Ducks.
AT the end Of the letter, Darling
drew family of ducks sorely in need
of relief. The drake, in patched over
alls and old hat, quacked: "Distribu-
tion Of wealth, Ell? Where do we
come in?" The other duck said ::
Yeah. How about subsistence home
steads for us?"
The President did as Tugwell
feared he would. The blue pencil
wrote and, having written, moved
over to a letter of reply to Darling.
He reminded Ding he was the only
man he knew who could get con-
gressional appropriation 5000, ,0O0)
without clearing q budget hurdle.
The Chief Executive said he was un-
able to get Controller General McCarl
to let him build subsistence home
steads for human beings-much less
ducks.
Text of Letter.
The text of Darling's letter, the
toast of his co-workers, follows:
We can make better use of the re-
tired agricultural land than anybody.
Others Just grow grass and trees on
it. We grow grass, trees, marshes,
lakes. ducks. geese. fur bearers, i'm
pounded water and recreation.
The six million we got from Con-
gress and which you think is enough,
is mostly going to buy Okefenokee,
the ranches on the Winter elk range
in jackson Hole, the private lands
that lie in the midst Of the Hart
Mountain antelope range and for re-
