SAILORS AND SOLDIERS EXEMPT FROM GAME LICENSE.

Attorney-General Stansbury has given out an opinion that world war soldiers and sailors have the privilege of hunting and fishing in Indiana without taking out licenses, in accordance with the 1919 law granting to soldiers of previous wars, and that there is nothing in the law that requires them to carry papers showing that they are such and that proof of their being soldiers is , another matter and not within the scope of the fish and game commissioners. Fish and game laws are held, in the opinion, to apply to soldiers and sailors as to others in each instance except that they may hunt and fish without having to take out licenses.
