PLENTY OF QUAIL IN FRANCE Of game about the camps in France occupied by the American Expeditionary Forces last winter Lieut L Stuart Wing of the air service writes writesThe The country throughout the Province of Indre last fail was plentiful witii partridge and quail but the game laws were not enforced I saw shoot ¬ ing up until the middle of February and during the season when the ground was so buried with snow that food in my estimation was impossible to find No shelters could be seen and nobody offering to aid in the preservation of these birds While the snow was on the ground one could kill them witli stones but when everything was bare they were wilder than our ruffed grouse which is saying a great deal Of course there are few men who have tiims for such sport but those who did certainly must have killed many especially in the depth of winter Hen pheasants were shot freely as well as partridge and quail 1 feel safe iu saying that the shooting of these birds will continue as loug as prices of food rise or stay at their present standard
