EER HUNTING PROMISES WELL Many Animals Are Reported From Various Sections of Pennsylvania Already Pennsylvania Is jLv/; good deer hunting * menclng to reach B tbe Capitol from • i iJSBP °' game [S pr eser ve s and mountain counties { where there are thick woods. In some sections deer have already been reported as raid ing fields and State game officials have been investigating claims of damage, most of which have been found to be exaggerated. The num ber of deer in the State preserves, which are closed at all soasons, is said to be greater than last year. Under operation of the new game code the deer season will follow the bird season, being planned for a period of the year when the leaves are off the trees. Deer may be shot December 1 to 15, while the quail and pheasant seasons will run from October 20 to November 30. Black birds are now being shot and as the migration has not started from southern counties are furnishing good hunting. Opening of the blackbird season caused a jump in issuance of hunt ers' licenses, but owing to the num ber of men who have gone to war the State's hunters will bo fewer this year than for a long time. War Hits Roosters. —War time prices are going to do much toward standardizing Pennsylvania poultry in the opinion of men connected withe State Department of Agricul ture, who have been urging farmers to kill off or sell tho roosters and hens not in prime condition because of the expense of keeping chickens during the winter. Reports coming here indicate that the advice of State farm counselors to get rid of the useless roosters was extensively fol loved and that many farmers have reduced hens so that only the best and youngest have been re tained for winter. Tho price of feed may cause further sales. * Commission to Meet.

AS TOOL [Continued from First Page.] foreign office for authorization to spend $i)0,000 to influence congress Thelate-3t story is told in a report to the State Department from Wil liam Whiting Andrews, secretary of the legation at Bucharest, and a let-1 ter from Foreign Minister Porum baru, of Rumania. Rumanian Suspicions Verified Parcels and boxes taken into the German consulate at Bucharest with display ofggreatt t precaution aroused the suspicions of the Rumanian gov ernment. On August 27, 1916, the evening prior to the date of Ru mania's declaration of war, some of the cases were taken to the German legation, located in a different build ing from tho consulate. Convinced that the boxes were not taken away from the legation by the German diplomatic mission on its de parture from Bucharest, the Ru manian authorities later ordered tho police to find and examine their con tents. " The police communicated with American Minister Vopicka, then in charge of German interests, who re luctantly assigned Secretary An drews to observe the search. The boxes were found buried in the gar den of the German legation. German Agent Admitted AH The report of Secretary Andrews eays: "Upon my return from the ex amination which resulted in the dis covery of the explosives and of the box of matches, both of which the legation servants admitted having placed in the garden, the former confidential agent of the German minister, Dr. Bernhardt, who had been left with the legation at tho German minister's request, to assist In the care of German interests, ad mitted his knowledge of the explo sives placed in the garden; told me that were In the garden than had been found; that a still larger quantity had been burled In the house of the legation: and that still worse things than this box of mi crobes were contained in the lega tion, and insinuated that they would have been found even in the cab inets of dossiers which I had seal ed. "Dr. Pernhnrdt also slated that RII these objec-ts hud been brought to tho German legation after our legation had accepted the protection of Ger man interests, which agreed with the statement of the servants. A simi lar confession was made to the min ister by this man. "The protection of the United Stntes was in this manner shame fully übusod and exploited. In this Instance, at least, the German gov ernment cannot have recourse to ita usual system of denial." Kifty-one boxes were taken from the ground in the garden. Fifty of them contained each a cartridge filled with trinitrotoluene saturated with bononitrotoluene, irtnong the most powerful explosives known, one-fifth *f each being sufficient to tear up a trailroad track. In tho other box were bottles of liquid, found to be cultivations of tho mi crobes of anthrax and glanders. It bore a seal showing It came from the German consulate at Kronstadt, Hungary, and lnsldo was found a typewritten note in German, saying: "Enclosed 4 phials for horses and 4 for cattle. To bo employed as for merly arranged. Each phial Is suffi cient for 20 lioad. To be introduced, If possible, directly Into the animals' throats; If not. Into their fodder. Please make a little report on the success obtained there; in case of good results, the presence of Mr. Kostoff for ono day here would be desirable." Rumanian Sends Proof Forelgn Minister Perumbaru ac companied his letter with documents to prove the origin of the boxes and their contents. "It has been possible to prove In an Indisputable 'way," he said, "that before our declaration of war to Austria-Hungary, when observing strict neutrality and keeping up nor mal relations with the German em pire, the personnel of the German legation, violating all rules of neu trality and all duties of diplomatic missions, introduced clandestinely considerable quantities of an ex tremely powerful explosive and cul tivations of microbes destined to in fect domestic animals and in conse quence -susceptible of provoking ter rible epidemics also among the hu man population. "There can hardly be any doubt about the way by which these sub stances wore introduced into Ruman ian territory. The very stringent police measures at all frontier sta tions taken by the royal Rumanian government" since the outbreak of the war and continually made strict er since, prove sufficiently that these explosives and microbes cannot have reached this country otherwise than by diplomatic courier. "On the other hand, there can be no doubt the final object of the im portation into Rumania as well as about the use to which they were as signed. The explosives and the mi crobes were destined to be used in Rtimania, very probably in time of peace. From all this it results that in time of peace members of the Ger man legation, covered .by their im munity, prepared in concert with the Bulgarian legation the perpetration on the territory of a neutral and friendly state plots directed against the safety of this state and against the lives of its subjects. "The royal government makes it Its duty to protect against these criminal practices, and especially against the use of the microbes, an illegal weapon and certainly worse than poison, the use of which was formally forbidden by the Fourth convention of The Hague, as -well as against this violation of the duties and of the loyalty which interna tional law imposes upon diplomatic missions as an exchange for the privileges which are guaranteed to them."

The One Hundred Ninth and One Hundred Tenth Infantry regiments will remain under this command.
