CUBAN RULER FACES REBUILDING OF ARMY

(By Associated Press) HAVANA, Cuba, May 30. Reorganization of the Cubn array is one of the tasks facing the new administration of Dr. Alfredo Zayas. The Menocal government which preceded that of Dr. Zayas, took a preliminary step by abolishing tho custom of promotion of officers by selection. The presidential decree effecting this reform will become operative on July 1. but no selection will be made between the present and that date. The motive for army reorganization is economy and was discussed at conferences between Major General Enoch Crowder, special agent in Cuba for President Harding and both President M. G. Menocal and Dr. Zayas, then president-elect. While the army itself numbers only about 11,000. the high salaries paid and the cost of supplies has run the total cost of this branch of the national defense to more than $6,000,000, a figure considered excessive. Some sentiment has been shown for the abolition of the army and the creation of a force of rurales, but the general

trend seems to be for a smaller force than at present, but of greater efficiency, the result of the acquisition of the most modern forms of automatic rifles and machine guns. NEWPORT MAN PENSIONED WASHINGTON. May 30. Clement

Bailey, of 420 Chestnut street, Newport, Ky., is to receive a pension of

512 a month, dating from January 17,

1921, according to notice received by

Kepresentative A. B. Rouse today.

The self-determination Idea has taken firm root in Egypt, where for months past the natives have been plotting cainst British rule. As a re

sult of bad feeling engendered by the plotters against Europeans in Egypt nearly two score whites were killed in Alexandria in a recent riot and a much larger

number were wounded. Gen. Sir H. H. Allenby, who captured Jerusalem from the Turks during the war, is in command of British troops in Egypt, with headquarters at Cairo.

State Officials Define Status of New Closed Season Statute

Perhaps no fsh and game law enacted in recent years has created more comment and confusion than the closed season act passed by the last legislature. The act provides that whoever shall catch, kill, pursue or have in possession any large-mouth black bass, small-mouth black bass or blue gill, caught in the waters of this state from April 30 to June 16, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. The law had hardly passed before arguments started as to what kinds of fish really were protected under the new statute, also whether private ponds and lakes so-called came under the new statute; also whether a person catching black bass and blue gills outside the state could bring them into Indiana without violating the" new law. G. N. Mannfield, superintendent of fisheries and game of the state department of conservation, has issued a statement to all game and bird protective associations. John Holliday, secretary of the Wayne County association, is is receipt of one of these, which states in part: Two Kinds of Bass "There are two kinds of black bass, the large-mouth and the small-mouth. The large-mouth black bass is also known as the big-mouth, Oswego bass, grass bass, pond bass, green bass, bayou bass and striped bass. This leads to much confusion in the minds of some who think that the small-mouth is the only black bass.

any such stream. Therefore, ponds or lakes made by damming a stream, cannot be lawfully screened so as to keep the fish from coming in or going out. Ponds or lakes- built and owned by private parties, having no inlet or outlet seem therefore to be private ponds or lakes. There seems to be no statute which clearly defines what really constitutes a private pond or lake. There has been a decided inclination on the part of owners of private waters to co-operate with the state department in seeing that the new law is observed, and they are refusing to allow persons to fish for

black bass and blue gills during the

period when public waters are closed. people, and besides, we have thous-

which is despisable, to say the least. If the fish supply of the Stats is to be increased, or even remain as it is. it is necessary to anually have a crop of fish. To have it. it is very necessary that fish be allowed to spawn. If fish are not to be protected when they are spawning, why should they be protected at other times, or by any other means? The reproductive period is of primary importance. Fish hatcheries serve a useful purpose in producing fish for stocking depleted waters. The fish produced by the state are expected to grow and finaly reproduce themselves before they are caught, in which case an increase can be looked for in the species. To allow fishing during the spawning period of such fish as the black bass and blue gill which expose themselves to capture more openly than other species, was long a mistake, and the legislature wisely cor

rected it. Indiana now has 3,000,000

Owners of strictly private ponds and lakes who do not do so, can look for no consideration from the department in the future. Certainly the state would be doing wrong to stock such waters with fish at the expense of the sportsmen of the state who furnish it with funds to work with, it states. Will Increase Fish Stocks The main spawning period of the black bass is now here. From now until June 16th it will be tiie uut oi every law-abiding angler to see that the three species of fish protected are allowed to spawn unmolested. The new law will without doubt, greatly increase the number of fish in our waters. When it is taken into consideration that Indiana had no statute making it unlawful for a person to

deliberately fish for and take black

ands of non-residents who come to fish in our waters. To maintain good fishing it is necessary to husband the supply. To do this, every means must be employed to protect the fish when they are spawning. Now is the time when the real angler will spend his time watching the habits of the fish instead of making efforts to catch them. A visit to a state fish hatchery wil bring you an immense amount of information, and we advise you to visit one of the state stations within the next two weeks.

No one thinks of killing domestic stock or fowls when about to bring off their young, but thousands of thoughtless anglers for years past have carried on the practice of taking fish off their nests,

The scientific names of the three fishes protected are Micropterus dolomieu, Micropterus salmoides and Lapomis pallidus. "Inasmuch as fishing for other species of fish is not prohibited, it is liable to occur that a person in fishing may catch any one of the three protected. The question has been asked what to do under the circumstances, and this we answer by saying that they must at once be returned to the water, or prosecution may follow. It will be noted that the wording of the closed season law mentions the words 'caught in the waters of this state.' Therefore, fish caught in waters outside of the state may be possessed if lawfully caught in a neighboring state, but satisfactory evidence must be furnished to prove that they were caught outside of the state in a lawful manner. Ponds Are Excepted Regarding private ponds and lakes, the Attorney General in an opinion has said, "Merely private ponds and lakes do not come under the new statute." He defines a private pond or lake as one having no outlet by which fish may escape. The fish laws of the state of Indiana provide that it shall be unlawful to place any obstruction other than a dam across any of the streams of the state, which prevents fish ascending or descending
