HUNT FOR RARE EGG Strange Errand of McMillan Expedition to Arctic. Savants Will Make Special Effort to Locate Nest of the Blue Goose Boston.-A hunt for the egg of the blue goose will be one of the odd er rands of the Donald B. McMillan ex vedition to Baffin Land this year. The adult blue goose. a variety with a grayish brown body that gets its name from the blue gray of its wing coverts, Is not uncommon in the United States. but its breeding haunts have been a subject of much speculation among bird lovers and its nest and eggs have never been observed. An announcement by Doctor MeMil Ian that on his last trip to the arctic he id noticed fledglings of these geese aroused the interest of students (if bird life, with the result that one of the scientists who will accotnpany the present expedition will be conuis sioned to keep an especial lookout for blue-goose eggs. The price that one of these egs would command has not been quoted. but judging from the entliusiasn dis played In natural history societies over the subject, the goose that iaid the golden egg will have nothing on this bird. Baffin Land is believed to be the greatest breeding place of bird life in the Far North. In its 150SKNI square miles of interior unexplored hy white men are lakes which the Eski mos describe as being at least !0I miles in' length and abounding in wild fowl. The McMillan expedition will leave here in July in the schooner Bowdoin, specially built for the purpose. and will pass probably 14 months in a study of Baffin Land along various scientific lines.

WON'T UNDERSTAND LANGUAGE Serve Sour Wine to Soldiers In the Restaurants-Women Seen With Uniformed Men Are Marked for Reprisals. Duesseldorf, Germany.-The anti occupation sentiment is inuch stronger in Duesseldorf, Ituhrort and Duisburg. the cities of Rhenish Prussia recently occupied by the French, than in May ence, C4blenz and Cologne, which also have been under foreign occupation for more than two years by the French, Americans and Britisii. As one crosses fromii the left bank of the Ithine and enter.s recently ve cupied territory the mood of the pop ulation becomes nore stllen, their be lav'ior more aloof and their hatred much more pronounced. More Like Military Rule. The reason may be that the French are occupying that part of the right bank of the Rhine that they hold near the luhr in real military fashion and the occupation is much more severe than that on the left bank. The hatred of the population Is di rected more especially against the French, and children are being brought up in a constant terror and undis guised seorn of the occupying forces, which gives but little promise that the real brotherly love between French Iiand Germans will be awhieved with the coming generation. The absolute refusal to speak French, even by persons well acquaint ed with the language, is one of the most common ways in which the Ger mans show their dislike of the French military nen. The correspondent walked into a cigar store the other day while a French officer was attempting to make the wonian in charge understand the brand of cigarettes lie wanted. She seened absolutely at a loss to under stand him. The correspondent trans lated the officer's request in English. After the officer had departed she told the correspondent in purest French: "I understood him the first titme, I but I would not give him the satis faction." "Boycotted" by Women. Few women in Duesseldorf, Ruhrort or Duisburg will he seen In the com pany of a uniformed French soldier or officer in the streets. The few who transgress the unwritten law are promptly catalogued at the German city headquarters, and are marked for reprisals. In some cases the difficulty is avoidled by the accompanying swain adoptIng civilian clothes, which seems to be satisfactory all around. In the wine cellars of the mtost fash inable restauranhts of Iluesseldorf there is a corner called "thie occupa ton cojrner." There are deposited all the bottles of wines that have been refused by the Germlan customers as having soured, owing to defective ('-4rks.
