One SPORTSMEN'S GROUP
WANTS LICENSE CHANGE
Votes To Substitute $3.50 State
Wide Fee Instead OF SIPS Fee
For County and $3.50 For
State License
LOCAL GROUP is OPPOSED

Abandonment of county hunting Ii.
censes in favor of $3.50 statewide
license and instituting of an earlier
squirrel season were among the legis-
lative recommendations adopted or
Tuesday night at meeting of a re-
Gently organized Allegany- Garrett
County Sportsmen's Association, in
Frostburg.
This recommendation about state
wide licenses is exactly opposite from
the stand taken by the Garrett County
Sportsmen's Association some time
ago, according to Howard C. Riggs
president. The local organization is
of the opinion that county resident
hunters should be considered first
Since there is better hunting here in
Western Maryland than in any other
part of the State, except for ducks
and other birds, a lowering of the
statewide license would DrIng q
swarm of hunters to this county that
would tend to eXterminate all game
in the forests, members of the local
organization feel. Mr.. Riggs said the
local group was composed of more
than $50 sportsmen.
Other Recommendations
At the meeting in Frostburg the
association voted in favor of squir-
rel season lasting from September Is
to October Is.
Present regulations call for the up
land game season, during which
squirrels as we'll as rabbits, turkeys,
cartridges, pheasants, ETC., may be
hunted-to last from November 1 to
November 80 in Garrett and Allegany
counties. In other parts of the state
this season is from November Is to
December 81.
The group also recommended that
the upland game season, aside from
the squirrel season, be extended from
November 1 to December Is.
This would be modified only during
deer season in December, which the
sportsmen urged be extended to six
days instead of five. During deer
season no other game would be
hunted.
Other recommendation included a
proposal to change the dates for
coursing dogs. Instead of the present
time from September 10 to March 1,
the group urged that it be permissible
beginning August 20 and closing
March l.
The legislative program is to be
presented to the Western Maryland
Outdoor Life Federation for its en-
dorsement.

TAG 900 of its American capital assets
to buy war supplies here during the
first year of the war, and at the end
still had at least 1885, TIC 900 of cash
on deposit in American banks.
These cash resources were exclu-
sive of the gold held for British ac-
count. More than $4,000 900 900 worth
was shipped to the United States
from various parts OF the empire
in the first year of the conflict. The
great bulk of this was British owned

10 months of the year, licenses were
issued authorizing shipments OF
S591 BAL ssh worth Of ornaments to
Britain, with actual exports during
this period aggregating s134 1862, $50
The Treasury report may provide
material for the proposed senatorial
surveys which hope to determine the
extent of Britains remaining assets
in the United States before Congress
considers the question of extending
financial aid.
While the British were spending
their American asSets-Sl57 ,32l 900
of bank deposits and sl58,428 900 OF
proceeds from the sales of American
securities-most of the world was
sending money here in unprecedent-
ed amounts for safekeeping.
Net capital inflow into the United
States from bank deposits, purchases
| of American securities and similar
transactions was $500, 1871 900 from
September /, 1899, the time the war
started, to September 4. 1910, the
nearest comparable date in the
! financial statistics. The total inflow
was much larger, but the net figure
was reduced by British Withdrawals.
| Foreign Bank Deposits.
At the end of the year total for
eign bank deposits in this country
some of it normal commercial bal
ances. but most of it staying here
for refuge from the war-had
reached the record-breaking figure
of S3.601 .4l9 900.
The largest individual share OF
this belonged to France and its citi-
zens-s5l5,19 1 900. This has been

post figure was fourth.
No figures were given on the re-
naming security holdings of any
countries, but, Notwithstanding the
British and Canadian sales OF nearly
