Game warden tor the dintricl of southern Idaho and eastern Oregon excepting Lake and Klamath Counties, acting! under the u. s. department of agri culture for the protection of mtgra-j lory birds has put in an active week at Boardman, having secured three' confessions, two affidavits implicat-i Ing an absent violator of the law, and evidence in several oilier cases all involving the shooting of ducks ' and pheasant out of season. In the I pheasant cases, Mr. Tonkin slates that it is not the policy of his doprt- inent to aggravate a man protecting bta own property, but in every case the hunter was shooting promiscu ously over the district wherever the birds might be found. In regard to ducks, the department has never found that they are destructive to crops and no leniency is shown in case of shooting them out ol season. Considering the si;:e of the districts a warden 1ms to cover it is Impossible to give close supervision and Mr. Tonkin finds, that while there are many complaints and much dissutls iaciion on the part of many citizens at infractions of the game laws, yet people are very loath to give any In formal ion they have agaluM the vio lators, if the department is to serve the people as Intended it should there in list be full co-operation on the part of right minded citizens iii furnish ing the warden with what Informa tion I hey may have.

Funding of the $4,185,000,000 war debt owed by Great Britain to the United States was de clared i,y Secretary Mellon to have no relation to the war loans made by the United States and Great Britain to other governments or to questions arising In connection with reparations payment! of the former central powerB. Bi ports have been published, Mr. Mellon said, that the British liability was not Incurred for the British gov ernment but lor the other allies and that the United Siates In making the original arrangements had insisted in substance that though the other allies wi re to use he money borrowed. It was only on British security that the l 'r iled States was prepared to lend It. "The statement that the United States government virtually Insisted upon a guarantee by the British gov ernment of amounts advanced to the oihi r allies is evidently baaed upon a misapprehension, instead of Insisting UpOU a guarantee or any t ransaeiion of that nature, the (lulled Slates govern ment took the position that It would make advances to each government to cover tlie purchases made by that gov ernment and would not require any tovernmetti to give obligations for ad vances made to cover Ihe purchases of any other government Thus, the ad vances to the British government evi dence! by Its obligations, were made to cover Its own purchases." , SAVS 15.
