the rain of mechanical blows aimed

| the Reichswehr to a standstill, it
gave few glimpses of the titanic
struggle which has ragged for nearly
| three weeks across the plains of
Eastern Europe.
One grim detail was supplied OF
| the battle west of Moscow where
the Russians yesterday reported A
German division destroyed and an
other routed.
A formidable tank offensive was
met by hail of artillery fire which
left 10 Nazi tanks flaming, smoking
and rent, said the Soviet communi-
que, but even then the Nazis re-
fused to quit and attempted a sec
ond attack.
Again some dozens of tanks were
declared to have been the victims
of Soviet artillerymen and bombers.
However. the Germans came on
and succeeded in making a slight
penetration of the Soviet lines. Then
an entire German infantry division
was reported thrown into the
breach.
But before it could deploy In
familiar German mushrooming tao
tics, the Russians said, Soviet tanks
and motorized units charged up
and cut it of, and Soviet planes
began a merciless straflng.
$500 Dead and Wounded.
More than $500 Germans were
declared left dead and wounded on
the field while 2,400 were taken
prisoner.
Eight entire batteries of large
guns, 81 motorcycles, 80 automo-
biles and quantities of machine
guns and automatic arms were re-
ported captured.
In another action. presumably on
the Karelian Isthmus, $50 Firms
were killed and wounded, the COM
munique said, when Soviet sailors
hauled cannon over rocks TO a posi-
ton where they could shell an
island from which an attack was be
ing prepared. The rest OF the Firms
fed. 1t was said.
Bitter warfare behind the Ger
man lines also was told in the COM
munioue. which said a detachment
of Soviet guerrillss stole up to a
village in which a German motor
cycle detachment WAS bivouacked
OF 88 motorcyclists, 1t was said, only
II escaped.

CONSERVATION
BRIEFS

Applications from communities Ell
over the state for trees cannot be
filled by state nurseries in spite of the
fact that for the past two years the
reforestation program has been ac-
tolerated at the rate of three million
trees year.
Under the Pittman Robertson federal
aid for wildlife plan, the ten percent
excise tax on sporting arms and NUM-
lions reverts back to the states. From
this money, the federal government
pays three fourths of the cost of
approved projects.
When a lake Is surveyed. each lake
is first measured as to length, width
and depth. Then, an inventory is
taken of its bottom, the amounts and
kinds of fish food available, the chem
ical analysis of the water, the num-
bers mad kinds of fish present and the
rate of growth of each species.
| On account of the spring breakup,
timber cutting under state permits will
be at a standstill until about the
middle of May. At that time the
stripping season will start.
From all indications the summer
season will be active, j. G. Gannaway,
in charge of state timber said. All OPP
orators are convinced that there is
going to be much greater demand
for peeled pulpwood Of all species and
at price to afford reasonable profit.
Pheasant conditions, while they do
not promise a population as high as in
the fall of 1910, point to supply COM
parable to the autumn of 1899, when

joyed, the conservation department

fish Propagation Planned
for All Time High Output
New Units Built by State to
be Placed in Production
for First Time.

The department of conservation has
moved full speed ahead with a con-
struction program that will expand
Minnesota's fish propagation activities
to an all time high.
Heading the project or nearly so is
the giant st. Paul fish hatchery. This
brick and concrete structure will be
placed in operation next week on wall
eyed pike Matching.
1t will have capacity of 100000
wall-eyed pike and muskellunge eggs.
Suckers, trout and northern pike also
will be Matched there and distributed
to all corners of the state.

ALIENS BARRED
 FROM FISHERIES
 AFTER JUNE E
Foltd Opinion on AppIita lion of New Provision
 Given Approval

Aliens will not be allowed to en- gage in fishing operations in Alaska after June 9 of this year, under terms of an act passed by Congress in 1933.
 An interpretation of the new pro vision as it will apply to existing law has been made by George w. Folta. Alaska Counsel-at-Large for the Department of the Interior, and approved by the Solicitor General, the Secretary of the Interior and the U. s. Attorney General.
 Under the new provision, citizens may fish, declarants for citizenship may fish, but those ineligible for citizenship, such as Japanese and those Filipinos who have not ob- tained citizenship through military service, will not be allowed to fish.
 Fishing Defined
 The prohibition on alien fishing extends to anything construed as constituting fishing operations or being a part of fishing operations. For instance, aliens will not be eli gible for employment as cooks on fishing vessels.
 Aliens ineligible to fish, however, may still be employed as laborers in the fisheries, within limits de-
