Game Prospects Are Reported Very Promising

Mounted Police who have ra- turned from a three d-sy patrol in the eastern part of the province report. the annual spring migrat- ion of water fowl well under way.

Canada geese show an increase over the same period last year, while the thousands of black ducks that wintered here have been aug- mented by new. arrivals from the south. -

Hungarian partridge came through well with the exception of a. week or ten days in March. It is esti- mated that only approximately i0 percent of the birds perished rom weather conditions.

It is also estimated that the breeding stock of ruffed grouse this spring is the most promising for years. The birds wlntered ex- ceptionally well, due to the ab- sence of silver thaws that some- times trap the birds while they are sleeping under the snow, and pre- dators such as awks and owls devoted most their energies in harrassing the Hu arian part- ridge and consequeniy gave our ruffed grouse a welcome respite.

RECRUITING AGE 0L ARMY

War Minister Hands Critics Jolt-—Speeds Mechanization Of Forces.

LONDON, April l —(AP)— Vigorous Leslie Hore-Belisha. Great Britain's tradition-breaking secretary for war, 115g handed his critics another jolt by publicly advocating that the age for army recruiting be lcrwered from l8 to l7 years.

when Lalbor members raised e. storm in the House of Commons Friday over enlistments, the War Minister answered; “To be quite frank, I can see no reason why a man should not be al‘owed to en- lis-t frankly and openly at the age M ..

l7.

Labor, protesting that many youths under 18 were being ac- cented into the army because they fa ely stated they were l8. intro- duced an amendment to the Army Bill under consideration to prevent recruits from enlisting unless they produced birth certificates, It was defeated izl to 61.

Has Two Branches

The War Offices newest order divides the royal artillery into two branches in line with Mr. I-Iore- Belishas program to modernize the, army. They will be known as the field branch and the coast de- fence-anti-aircraft branch.

The field branch would have lighter pieces to take, abroad in case of war and coast defence- anti-aircraft branch heavier guns primarily for defence.

When the army crosses the English Channel if it should o to another war in Europe it wil not be burdened with cavalry, horse artiliery or other unwieldly e- quipment. The new fighting machine will be compact. swiftly mobile, largely mechanicei.

‘Fully Mechanized

Regiments that formerly clat- tered into action on horseback will move ulp to the front in tanks and armored oars. Artillery units will drag their guns into position with small, powerful tractors. Most infantrymen will man machine gun sts instead of try- 11115 to pick o the enemy with r es.
