Washington.?Last year while United States soldiers were making war against the savage Hun in France and our sailors were on the never ending .search for the hateful German "sub," there was another war ?if it might be called a peaceful one ?being carried on right here in this country. It was a war by the Biological Survey of the department of agriculture, and its many experts against the many kinds of worthless birds and animals in order that our agricultural products might be augmented by their destruction. The tremendous scope of this form of war work that was done in our own country was conducted under four di visions, each just as effective as the army divisions on the field in Franc \ These four divisions were: Investigations of the food habits of North American birds and mammals in relation to agriculture, biological investigations with special reference to the habits and geographic distribution of native animals and plants; supervision of national mammal and bird reservations, and administration of the migration bird treaty act and the enforcement of the Lacey act. Uncle Sam, during the year, went after wolves, coyotes mountain lions, bob-cats and other stock killing animals and did much work in suppressing animals affected with rabies. Wild Animal Hunters. In order to do this work properly it took a force of from 400 to 500 skilled hunters of wild animals. The number of skins or scalps of predatory animals taken by official burners during the year was as follows: Wolves 584. coyotes 27,100, mountain lions 140, bobcats 4,122; Canada lynxs J 42 and bears 81. From this it seems that the once mighty bear which was king of the glen and forest appears to be, like the Rod Man, dying out.
