Bird slaughter hy Lananese.

That thousands OF albatrosses have been
imprisoned TO die OF starvation by Japa-
nese feather poachers in the Hawaiian
islands, was told by DR.. Homer r. Dill, of
the University OF Iowa, in an address be-
fore the annual meeting of the National
Association of Audubon Societies.
He has recently returned from the Pa
cific, and states that these birds each year
collect in countless numbers to rear their
young on Layson island, which is now
United States bird reservation. They
grow fat from inaction and much eating
and are easily captured. BY placing them
in dry cisterns, where no food is available,
the fat becomes absorbed by the time the
birds die. This makes the skinning easy
and the feathers are rendered more sale
able.
Twenty-three of the agents of the feather
trade were captured some time ago and
taken to Honolulu for trial. The Audubon
society is planning to protect these birds
in future by means of agents, who will be
placed on the island during the breeding
season of the birds.
''The past year we employed about fifty
wardens to guard great nesting colonies OF
water birds throughout North America,
and at least 100000 birds thus dwelt in
safety from the millinery hunters" says
t. Gilbert Pearson, national Audubon
secretary. 'eThere seems to be no limit to
which the feather manufacturers will not
go in their desire to get bird feathers with
which to trim women's hats, he declared.

The Noon Hour at school.


In letter addressed to the press
and school superintendent of Maine,
State Superintendent of Schools
Payson Saith calls attention to reso-
buttons recently passed by the
teachers of Washington county, for
the better protection OF the moral
and physical we.l-being of pupils of
rural schools during the noon hour.
The Washington county resolutions
read in part:

Resolved, That superintendents be urged
to request or reqaire, in engaging teachers,
that such teachers are to remain at the build

In giving wide publicity to this ac-
ton of the Washington county teach
ers, State Superintendent Smith
voices his approval of the movement.
"Many hundreds OF children oil

eat their MONDAY meal at school.

Fed Jellison, former member Of the demo

MANHOOD.
Paper No. TX by Prof. E. S. Krantz
Gymuastic Instructor at the u. 5.
Naval Academy.

Manhood of the highest order is
the most momentcus need of our
times; manhood that is at times even
grim and stern and relentless man
hood that will stand for firm princi-
pies, that will possess that stability
of character which no influence can
deviate.
The men of today are always seek
ing smooth paths. They are always
looking for the line of least resist
ance. They are searching for some
thing easy. If they start out in life
with character, it is usually of the
jelly-fsh order. 1t can be bent and
moved in any direction that is re-
quired to fit the particular circum-
stances in which it finds itself. What
the world of today needs is men with
backbone, men who possess stamina
and grit and the sand to stand by
whatever they believe in and to fight
for it thru thick and thin, on, on, to
life's last moment.
The world wants men with the COM
bination of good character, and
fine, strong, superb body. Superb
minds and bodies should go together.
They make marvellous combination.
They give one power that is abso-
lutey irresistible. They put in ones
hand force that cannot he downed,
that is almost indestructible. 1t goes
on and on. and victory is absolutely
sure to crown the efforts cf those
gifted with this wonderful power.
Gifted, but the word conveys a
wrong impression. Such a power is
not gift, it is the result of continu-
Gus struggling, day after day. year
afte- year, and Oh and en-. 1t comes
only to those who have self conf
dence who believe in themselves,
who believe in their message. in their
purposes, in their characters, and
who look upon life as a great battle
But without sound body, a sound
mind cannot be- To the strong belong
the spoils.
Day after day such men prepare for
the fray, year after year their abili-
ties increase, and to such men a fail
ure now and then represents nothing
more than stepping stone to final
success.

NEW LAW CREATES CHAOS.
Over Six Hundred Officers Shifted
Instructors of Colleges viii Go
Back "a. Commands.

Because of the provision in the army
appropriation bill which states that an
army officer cannot remain away from
his CON mand for more than four years,
more than 600 officers on detached duty
will be shifted. Many attaches in
American embassies abroad, instruc-
tors at military and training schools,
and those stationed at the War De-
partment in Washington will be affect
ed by the enforcement of the law.
Probably the provision will be re-
ferred to the judge advocate general of
the army for definition as to how far
it affects the service. IL is supposed
to be iron bound. and no attempt at
deviation will be made by the Office of
chief of staff.
A straw investigation was made re-
garding the first five officers att ached
to six of the large army schools of the
country. 1t was found that so per cent
of them would have to be ordered
back to their commands Immediately,
and that 26 per cent of the remaining
would fall within the letter of the law
within six months Ii is estimated by
officers in the War Department that at
least half the officers on detained duty
will have to be transferred Immediate
ly.
Among those affected are 80 or 40 in
structors at West Point, nearly $50
officers in the War Department, and
the attaches at Brussels, Vienna, and
Berlin.
Mai. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of
staff, said yesterday afternoon that, al
though the provision was excellent,
when the change had to be made at
once it reduced conditions in the War
Department TO state bordering on
chaos.
