THE GAME BREEDER

 Somewhere in France 



signed. A regulation was at. once made 

 providing that there should be no shoot- 

 ing. In the absence of section 12 this 

 section might have been executed . and 

 people who produced ducks in order to 

 increase the food supply might have been 

 arrested because they did not put salt 

 on the tails of their ducks in order to 

 catch them and execute them with a 

 hatchet. 



Our readers now can understand why 

 we opposed a law permitting the making 

 of regulations until we knew what the 

 regulations were to be. The objection 

 to an amendment providing that no regu- 

 lations preventing game farming and pre- 

 serving could be made, tended to make 

 us more certain that we were right in 

 trying to defeat the law or to hold it 

 up until it Was repaired so as to protect 

 game preservers who wished to increase 

 the food supply. The regulation re- 

 quiring the hatchet is in violation of the 

 law and void. 



Revised for Ruffed Grouse. 



To be or not to be ; that's the ques- 

 tionnaire. 



Lt. (J. G.) JOHN C. HUNTINGTON 

 Somewhere at Sea 



Our Secretary. 



John C. Huntington, Secretary of the 

 Game Conservation Society, has recently 

 been promoted to be a lieutenant in the 

 navy. He entered the service at once 

 when war was declared and was pro- 

 moted to petty officer, ensign and our 

 readers will be glad to learn he has just 

 gone a step higher. The navy has done a 

 wonderful work in putting over a million 

 soldiers safely across the ocean. Every 

 one feared there must be severe losses of 

 troops due to the submarines, but the 

 navy seems to have made them stay below 

 when American troops are convoyed. 



Dwight W. Huntington, 2nd. 



Dwight W. Huntington, 2nd, of the 

 The Game Breeder's staff, enlisted when 

 war was declared and now is serving in 

 France. In a recent letter, he says : "It 

 sounds like a noisy, insane Fourth of 

 July. A German, flying low in a plane 

 of the type used by the French, sailed up 

 to an observation balloon and destroyed 

 it Three Allied planes up in the clouds 

 heard the shooting and swiftly pounced 

 on the German. There was a rattle of 

 guns and Fritz,'' the writer says, "went 

 into a scrap heap with his machine."
