WASHINGTON', Aug. 21. At the
Japanese embassy, there is much,
nodding ot heads and smiling at the
mention of General Klkuzo Otanl's
name which is the embassy's way
of saying what a tine man the rank
ing officer of the allies' Russian ex
pedition really is.
General Otanl Is regarded as one
of the most brilliant offlceiB In tho
.lupancso army, qualified by tempera
ment and experience to lead tho
forces which are going to tho aid ot
the Russian people.
In plain American, he would be
called a "soldier of the old school."
116 is essentially a fighter. As a
member of the army council, he has a
responsible Ehare in the deliberations
of Japan's supreme military body.
He was summoned to that duty from
Tslen-Chiaow, where ho was gover-uor-genoral.
To visualize him. think of a sturdy,
straight-backed person with a Fred I
Funston jaw and a Marse Henry
Watterson mustache. The mustache I
Is gray. General Otanl has just pass-,
ed his sixty-second year. Rut he is t
as active as a junior subaltern.
As leader of the Japanese army in
tho Russian expedition he will cover
more or less familiar ground. He was
a brigade commander in the Russo
Japanese war. It is not felt here,
however, that there will be any re
sentful memory among the Slavs be
cause of that former connection.
In the war between China and
Japan, 20 years ago, Otnni was chief
qf staff. He has a splendid record of
efficiency, having come up thru the
ranks from a socond lieutenancy
his rank when he graduated from the
military academy, Tokio, 39 years
ago. He was mode a full general two
years ago.
"in his capacity ns ranking officer,
ho will bo in close touch with tho
commanders of the various allied ar
mies composing the expedition. Of
ficials of the Japanese embassy say
he will in every way fulfill the exac
tions of that trying position.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 1 R e g u -lntionr,
governing tho taking of mi
gratory birds, adopted us a result of
international action binding on tho
Tnlted States and Canada, were pro
mulgated by tho president of the
United States on July 31. Tho new
law- gives el feet to the terms of the
treaty which effectually protects such
birds In most of tho North Amcrium,
continent, and In the main there are1
only slight changes In the law as It'
existed before the treaty. j
Under Us provisions there Is no
spring open season, and the fall open
season is made more uniform thru
out the country. Nevertheless, the
several states have the right under
the terms of the act to make and en
forces i'.vj.: own relations when
those are not inconsistent with the
federal rulings, but such state regu
lations ma Act only to afford addi
tional protection to migratory birds,
and not to extend the open seasons
beyond those just promulgated, nor
to authorize methods of taking birds
not sanctioned in the federal act.
Main I- eat it res of Law
The uniform open season in gen
eral covers the period between Sep
tember 1 and January 31. with a per
iod not exceeding 3l months for In
dividual species, tho there are slight
exceptions to these datC3 and periods
as the shorebird season In certain
New England and middle Allantip
states, which opens August lti and
closes November HO. The sale of mi
gratory birds is prohibited except of
those propagated under permits is
sued by the secretary of agriculture,
and uniform bag limits are set for
the entire country. Sportsmen may
not ship more than two days' bag
limit In any calendar woek
At the same time provision is mado
for tho collection of birds for scien
tific purposes, and under extraordin
ary conditions federal permits may
be issued to kill migratory birds
should they become Injurious to agri
cultural interests.
Provides for (t'nnto farms
Liberal provisions are included
also for tho propagation of migra
tory waterfowl on gamo farms and
preserves, and the sale of birds so
bred and reared is authorized as a
part of the program for increasing
the food supply. This paves the way
for building up an industry which
has already shown possibilities of
marked success. Many species of
waterfowl can be profitably rained In
captivity, either on land unsuited to
farming or In connection with oilier
farm operations.
The department tays that many
persons have been deterred from en
gaging In this business because there
were no suitable laws governing or
fostering the enterprise". It is hoped
that this action by tho federal gov
ernment will lead to uniform and ap
propriate state legislation governing
game farming. Kueh legislation i?

except those reared under permit, t un
