C1ark'S "Gift" to the Nation
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

TT was 1856 years ago-February
;. 1779-that the indomitable
Virginian. George Rogers
Clark, started out on his ever
memorable march for "Old Vim
cennes"-the terrible march that
ended in the victory that gave US
an empire larger than that of the
Republic of France or the Ger
man Empire.
On all the earth there is no
finer region than that once known
as the Illinois Country" or the
North West" With its splen-
did rivers and fertile prairies it IS
o-day the pride of our country;
as well ii may be. for it is the
seat OF a progressive population
reaching up into the millions, with
a wealth that runs up into the
billions, while. young as it is, it
is able to point TO its 'hustling
metropolis and say: There is the
second city in the United States
of America. and the fourth in the
whole world"
All Of which was the gift Of
George Rogers Clark, the incor-
ruptlble patriot. who has been SO

The Terrible Slaughter of

Year.

The resolutions of the confer
ence concern the protection of all
kinds of wild life, including plants
as well as animals. and savage
races of men are not excluded
from its sympathetic good will.
But a particular effort was
made to throw a shield over the
birds. How necessary such pro-
lection has become is indicated
by the terrible slaughter of all
winged creatures that goes on
every year with increasing reck-
lessness. l am writing this from
rance. where the "chasse"-that
is, the hunting season-has been
just closed by law, only to re-
open next year.
Now, according to my observa-
tions, the Chase usually means
little else than bird killing.

exist in certain large forest tracts

thicket, covering perhaps an acre

as a lure for thrushes, and filled
with hundreds of those devilish

he slaughtered hundreds of birds.

that it is greater pleasure to
him to find a thruSh in one of his

n n interesting token of the
n spirit of our times is the
recent international con-
ference held at Berne, Switzer-
land, TO consider what should be
done in order to preserve the
wild races of the globe from the
murderous propensities of the
only self styled civilized animal
which at present dwells upon its
surface.
One branding sentence uttered
by Paul Sarasin at that confer
ence smarts and stings in the
readers conscience.
'It Is only too true" said Mr..
Sarasin. that the white man is
the great DESTROYER of crea-
toni He is the ill-joy in the
paradise of the earth, and wher-
ever he goes his path is marked
by epidemics, poison, devasta-
ton, blood and tears."
The civilized white man not
only kills lower animals for the
pleasure of seeing them fall and
die, but, directly or indirectly,
swiftly or slowly, he kills all rep
resentatives of his own kind
whose ways of life are less arti-
fetal than his own. He sacri-
fees every creature to his two
great gods-machinery and lux
ury.
Fortunately there is a leaven Of
Righteousness in his composition,
the working of which is shown by
the Berne conference.

BOYS ANXIOUS TO Sell

The newspapers are practically
