Current Comment
By Henry Willis

The Quoil-Fox Question Hos Be-
come Acute. Either the fox must be
controlled or Bob White is in for
determination. Rabbits too, for that
matter-anything nesting or dening
on the ground will have to give up
to the fox. Frank Vestal of the Com
mercial Appeal staff is n of the
best informed of correspondents on
wild life matters and he has been
alarmed at the prospect for quite
awhile. In his column he cites facts
and incidents making clear the
danger of uncontrolled fox increase.
Even the fox hunt addicts are begin
ming to understand that there are
too many foxes, packs are almost
sure to divide and have several
chases going at one time which
spoils much Of the fun. If you 60 to
the country often you are certain
to see foxes lear the road OF in 1t.
At night they show up in your head
lights beam. In many neighborhoods
poultry raising is not possible. 1t
begins to look like all restrictions
ON killing foxes must be removed
and it may be necessary to offer a
bounty for a eason or two. A
reasonable control that will leave
enough foxes for those sportsmen
who love the night hunting and also
enough Quail for those who love
wing shooting-king Of sports is in
dictated.

tleships Sunk. Read below it and
you see that one Jap battleship was
sunk, one only. Besides that, two
light cruisers and three destroyers
went down. A destroyer is to a bat
tleship about as a motor cycle is TO
a tiger tank. The one battleship was
a great one, to be sure, comparable
with our Iowa class, a big and pow
erful ship able to meet any surface
craft afloat. The Japs mount IL six
teen inch guns on their biggest,
while we mount nine. The larger OF
the two cruisers was judged to be
about 5000 tons displacement. The
other was "a small cruiser or a big
destroyer. 1t was quite a Naval VIC
tory anyway, costing us no more
than 3 d~estroyers, but there is no
sense in such misleading headlines.
They might have announced six
Warships Sunk, been exactly cor
rect and not stirred up such extravi-
CANT hopes. The second battle OF the
PHILIPPINE Sea seems to be the only
one in which our surface ships had
much to do and there they did plen-
ty, sank 3 Jap Battleships, a Car
riers, 8 Cruisers and 8 D~estroyers,
while losing a light carrier and 3
D~estroyers. That was at the SURFACE
Straits section of the battle. W. used
