A PLEA FOR THE BIRDS.
Head of Audubon Society Figures
Big Loss to the Crops.

NEW YORK. October 3O.-Because of
the decrease of birds. the United States
IS losing yearly without protest sum
larger than the capitalization Of all the
national banks In the country was the
statement made by President William
butcher of the National Association of
Audubon Societies at the annual meeting
of the association here.
The public, declared Mr.. butcher. plac-
idly allows agricultural crops valued at
$500, 600 900 to be annually destroyed by
insects, which destruction is entirely due
to the rapid decrease in the number of
insectiverous birds in the country.
IF a million or more dollars are lost
through the management of a bank or
other fiduciary institution" he said, lit
creates a wave of protest throughout the
entire country. yet yearly loss equal to
the entire capitalization of the national
banks of the country creates no comment
whatever, simply because the public does
not realize what is going on"
Mr.. butcher said the association was In
position to do good work along the line
Of the protection of birds. but that in
order to successfully carry on its work it
should have a larger endowment fund
and far larger membership.

Banks to Increase Circulation.

After consultation with Secretary Cor
telyou, Mr.. Ridgely, controller of the cur
rency has taken up with the national
banks the question of increasing the ma
tional bank circulation in every way pos
sble to give relief as quickly as it can be
done, not only In the large cities requir-
ing currency for pay rolls and such pur-
poses but also In the country districts
where the banks have difficulty in OBJ
tanning currency from their reserve
agents.
There are a large number of banks that
have less than the maximum amount of
circulation outstanding. Many of these
have government bonds on deposit to Sc
cure government deposits. Mr.. Ridgely is
urging these banks to substitute other
bonds aCcepta biz. to the Secretary of the
Treasury for their deposit security and
use the government bonds t.uus reea sed
for taking out increased circulation. There
is a possibility of increasing the circula-
way. with circulating notes actually print
ed and now on hand in the vaults OF the
controllers office
There are over $50. 900 600 of govern
ment bonds in the hands of the Treas
urer to secure government deposits. and
il would be possible to increase ma uona
bank circulation by more than $500 600
before the limit of capital stock Is
reached.

Through the closer intimacy and SYM

in both nations a similar result may un-

depends strictly on the attainment of the
