FOR JURIsTs TO DECIDE,
 NOT coNGREGATIoNALISTS
Governor Baldwin Sidetracks Anti Conquest Motion at Denomination's State Conference-Rev. H. J. Wyck- off on Committee.

Before the annual meeting of the Congregational churches concluded it's morning session at New Haven, We'd nesday, a resolution committing the conference to the endorsement of the Mccall anti conquest resolution was laid upon the table, and the discus sion of the matter was closed by Gov ernor Baldwin, who was moderator The resolution calls for incorporation into treaties of peace of a preamble to the effect that nations signing it will not seek to increase their territory by conquest. It would also seek to bind nations to see that their delegates to The Hague and Pan American confer ences make declarations to that eff feet Governor Baldwin said in clos ing the discussion: T am a great friend of international peace and be- lieve the time is not far distant when most of the subjects of international dispute will be settled in an orderly way, I think the next century, if not this one, will see many of those ques- tions decided by a regular court of justice. I think 1t wiser to couch the resolution now before the conference in more general terms, as in it's pres ent form 1t binds a power to certain number of obligations which I think would be settled better by congress of jurists than one of Congregational ists."
 The vote to table was 7S to 55.
 Rev. H. J. Wyckoff of this city and Rev. R. G. Clapp of Stafford Springs were chosen on the committee on re- ligious instruction in Congregational churches. E. M. Warner of Putra m was one of the directors chosen for the Congregational Home Missionary society.

Some Loss Figures.
S420 100.

. .
 These figures are prepared by com petent experts in the department of agriculture and stand for hard facts. The article in question also mentions specific pests that have increased as our birds have decreased in numbers, and says that the 'value of bords de- stroyed as game and for food" is not equal to ne-thousandth of the value they would save to the national wealth if permitted to live.
 Both Stupid and Wasteful
 It continues with a strong arraign- ment of the supineness and stupidity of the people for allowing this thing to continue, and instances some thirty species of shore birds that feed upon noxious insects, but that are being ex- terminated by pot hunters, while there are 154 species that are not legally protected that are being rapidly de- stroyed. The immense value of our song birds, swallows, woodpeckers, blackbirds, quail, doves and night hawks in the destruction of insects is spoken of.
 The article is signed by William T. Hornaday, chairman committe on wild life protection.
 There is no doubt of the accuracy of these figures and all are agreed that
