Ratliff Names Hawks Beneficial to County Bird Observer Asks Commissioners to Stop Slaughter of Species Which Feeds on Field Mice Birds Begin Movements from Southern Haunts and Nesting Places.
To prevent destruction of species of hawks which feed on field mice and English sparspws, Walter Ratliff, head of the biological survay of the Whitewater valley of Ohio and Indiana, will ask the county commissioners to make an order providing that whole bodies be brought to the court house In claiming bounty. Mr. Ratliff said today the commissioners could assist the farmers materially by such an order. While there is no bounty available, a fund has been recommended since the last appropriation was exhausted and at the next meeting of the county council the appropriation will be made. Want Farmers Educated. "With only the heads, it is difficult to determine exactly what species of hawk is being killed," Mr. Ratliff said. "The bodies can be preserved for several days during March and if this is done, I may be able to find some new species or show how some of the hawks have teen wrongfully killed. "The different hawks can be distinguished in various ways by the spread of tail, shape of body, color, method of flying and dropping on prey and the heighth at which they rest. The hawk which the commissioners are striking at with their bounty usually flies high and soars for some time
while locating the prey. I will furnish the commissioners with other information so they can educate the farmers to pick the damaging hawks from the beneficial hawks." At present Mr. Ratliff is chiefly interested in the migration of birds. Since the killing of a bald eagle In February he is watching for more to pass this part of the country. Among the birds which he has observed migrating are the blue birds, robins, black birds, red birds, meadow larks, cow birds and some species of wild ducks, probably the blue bills and bussleheads. Observes Movements. Mr. Ratliff said the biological department of the government is more active now than ever before. The department is endeavoring to secure detailed Information on ' bird migration and nesting over the United States. There is a plan on foot now to have observers who would volunteer their services, take a square mile of land and try toget an accurate number of the species of birds and nests on that tract in a year. Mr. Ratliff said he will be pleased if Wayne county residents who find strange bird nests will write to him on Rural Route No. 7 or telephone him at 3004.
RALSTON'S DECISION NOT TO TOUCH BILLS AFTER FRIDAY CAUSES FIGHT
BY LEASED WIRE. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 4 A dispute is on in the house today over Governor Ralston's action in declaring he will not consider for approval any bills passed by the legislature after Friday midnight. In a message to the house this morning the executive said he would keep his office open until that hour, and that after that time he would not sign any bills unless an exceptional case came up. Representative Niblack attacked the governor's right to do this and urged that he be asked to consider bills until Saturday midnight. The house took no action on Niblack's suggestion. The house today passed under sus
pension of the rules, the bill designed
to give flood relief to Fort Wayne. The
vote was 89 to 0.
The senate this morning passed the Jackson bill providing that ifine jurors can return a verdict In a civil case if attorneys for both sides agree on such a verdict. Another investigation of alleged Illegal lobbying was started by the senate today at the suggestion of Senator Chambers. The New Castle editor declared lobbyists were at work to defeat his bill which would divide the state printing so that more firms could compete in the bidding. Senator Grube succeeded in amending the Chambers resolution so that the investigation would include all lobbying missed to going on. A favorable report was received in the house on Senator Neal's bill for pure milk.
GERMAN NOTE ON "NAVAL WAR" PUBLISHED BY STATE DEPARTMENT
f BY LEASED WIRE. WASHINGTON, March 4. Germany's reply to the American proposals concerning the naval war was given out by the state department this afternoon. The official text does not depart from the information as to its contents given out a few days ago. In part it says: "The German government has carefully examined the suggestions of the
American government and believe
that they can actually see in it a suitable basis for a practical solution. "With regard to the points of the American note they beg to remark: "First With regard to the sowing of mines the German government would be willing to agree not to use floating mines and to have anchored mines constructed. They agree to put tho stamp of the government on all mines. It does not appear to them to be feasible wholly to forego use of anchored mines. Hold Back Submarines. "Second The German government would undertake not to use their submarines to attack mercantile vessels of any flag, except when necessary to enforce the right of search. "Third As provided in the American note, this limitation of the use of
submarines is contingent on- the fact that enemy mercantile ships abstain from the .use of neutral flags. It would appear to be a matter of course that such mercantile marine also abstain from arming themselves. Food Embargo. "Fourth The regulation of legitimate importations of food into Germany suggested by the American government appears to be in general accord. Such regulation,- of course, would be confined to importations by way of neutral ports. The German government would therefore be willing to make the declaration of the nature provided In the American note so that the use of the imported foods and foodstuffs solely gy the non-combatant population would be guaranteed. The imperial government must, however, in addition, have the importation of other raw materials used by the economic system of non-combatants, Including forage, permitted. To that end the enemy governments would have to permit the free entry into Germany of teh raw material mentioned in the three lists of the declaration ef London, and to treat materials included in the lists on conditional contraband, according to the same principles aa foods and foodstuffs."

CHARGES CRUEL ACTS Husband Says Wife Caused Mental Torture.
Charging that his wife accused him of going to meetings of his lodge and union to meet immoral women, Charles Turner entered suit in circuit court today against Carrie Turner asking for a divorce. Mr. Turner says her accusations constitute cruel and inhuman treatment as he is a faithful husband and was mentally distressed at being thus wrongfully accused. He said he had to quit lodge for some time to stop her charges of infidelity. On January 7, 1913, he charges, there was a row over a union meeting and the family broke up. They were married in 1907.

NICHOLSON OPPOSES HEAVY ARMAMENT
"The American government cannot afford to be swept off Its feet by the indefinible and uncertain plea that somebody in the future may decide to make war on us," comments S. Edgar Nicholson, writing in the American Friend on the preparedness of the United States for war. "Upon the advocates of a larger military program lies the responsibility of pointing out a probable danger. It is quite apparent that none of the ten belligerent nations Is anxious to invite a conflict with us at the present time. Never before has there been such a world-wide revolt against militarism." Mr. Nicholson closes by saying that "America must continue to be the teacher and not the trailer of civilization."
