SHOULD SIEZE
OPPORTUNITY
Save the Migratory Wild Birds
Says the General Fedora
ton of WOmen's Clubs.

Virginia club women have receiv-
ed copies of an appeal sent out by
Mrs. John Dickerson Sherman of Chi
cago, chairman of the conservation
department of the General Federation
of Women's clubs making an appeal
to the federated club women to work
for the enforcement Of the migratory
bird law. Among other things the
federal government now pro-
tects our insectivorous and rodent
eating birds from their human enc
mics at all times; whether the enemy
be the plumage hunter, the trapper
of song birds, the market hunter with
his repeating shotgun or the unthink-
ing small boy with his sling-shot. The
new law is so comprehensive and ad-
equate that the extinction which
threatened every wild bird in the Uni
led States is now averted and the
birds that remain have a good chance
Of perpetuation and even of substan-
sial increase. Game birds may be
killed at specified times, but they are
adequately safeguarded and the per-
aicious practice of spring shooting is
prohibited.
Nevertheless, the battle to save the
birds is still on and is yet to be won.
For the fate of the birds depends on
the enforcement of the new law. And
the enforcement of every law depends
largely upon public opinion. The new
law, being revolutionary in its char
acter and from it's nature difficult of
enforcement, needs the loyal support
of all good citizens. Every club wo-
man should bestir herself. The op-
portunity has come at last. Let US
seize the opportunity and save the
birds!

WAR EFFECT PASSING

The effects of the European war,
which caused pretty general stag
nation in business circles in this
country because Of its interference
with our foreign commerce and the
great uncertainty as to the future
are passing away. The Wall Street
banking house of Henry Clews & Co.,
in it's circular of the 21st inst. thus
outlines the greatly improved fnan-
cial situation
evidences of progress are multi
plying daily. The federal bank has
made a good start; the New York
stock exchange has opened for bond
dealings; the cotton exchange has al
ready reopened successfully; ex-
changes in various parts of the coun-
try are also resuming; our foreign
trade shows remarkable recuperative
power; sterling exchange is almost
back to normal; the gold pool is be-
ing closed out; the cotton pool is now
hardly necessary; money is fairly
abundant and easy, and commercial
paper is in decidedly better demand.
Evidently the credit and financial ma
chinery of the United States, which
was so thoroughly dislocated by the
war, is rapidly and surely returning
to normal conditions. Our banks and
bankers have at least put into prac-
tice the theories which they profess
ed-that the way to resume is to re-
sumo"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-Through
close cooperation with departments
of the Federal government here, the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States is keeping virtually the entire
business community Of the country
fully informed Of all developments Of
the European war that reflect direct
~ upon the commerce of the United
States, domestic or foreign.
The national alliance of more than
600 commercial organizations was
created early in 1912. The member
ship Of the chamber stretches into
every nook and corner Of the country.
Included in it's 600 allied organizations
are great and small chambers of COM
merce in every state and every COM
mercial important city of the union.
Their total individual membership
passes the quarter million mark and
every line of industry in the country
is represented.
With the outbreak Of the European
war the need of specific information
as to it's probable and actual influence
on business conditions was very urg-
ent. Under the direction Of Elliott H.
Goodwin, general secretary Of the
National chamber, the CLERICAL force
already organized here to form
clearing house Of national and inter-
national information on business con-
ditions,, was augmented and it's ener-
gies directed to meeting the emer-
gency. The bi-weekly bulletins sent
out to members were increased in
scope. They took up subjects by SUBJ
ject problems of neutrality regula-
tons, coutraband proclamations by
warning powers, congressional enact
ments to meet war emergencies as
they developed, the banking situation,
the cotton crisis and every new factor
affecting business, brought up by the
war. Twice week members were adj
>ised specifically of developments in
each case. The chamber has a force
Of trained men at work among the de-
partments following up every clue to
information and they are meeting with
ready assistance from department Of
ficials. Some of the information sent
out is Of very confidential character
and to protect it, publication of the
bulletins is forbidden.
Now systematic study of the for
eign commerce Of the belligerent pow
ers to determine just where openings
lie for increasing American foreign
trade has been begun. Additional bull
letins are what articles comprised
Germany's trade with her present en-
enies or with neutral countries now
cut off from her markets. Exhaustive
investigation of American, British,
German and other statistics for pre-
ceding years being made and lengthy
comparative tables have been issued.
The work is still going on and as it
progresses manufacturers Of any arti-
Gle will be able to see at glance just
what opportunities await them in any
country.
Paralelled almost day to day with
presentations of the financial situa-
ton in foreign countries, showing
where moratoria exist and their dura-
ton, what embargoes on expectation
have been declared and to what ex-
tent war operations have interferred
with commerce in any direction, the
charts are said to have proved of
most illuminating character to the
American business world. They bring
down to specific details the board in
luiries of the government.

THEY ARE ALL BRAVE.

It would require fine analysis to
discover any real difference in the
fighting qualities Of the various ma
lions at war. 1t is fattering to our
vanity to imagine that men of our
own race are drawer than the others,
but the evidence does not support
such a belief.
The Germans, trained by Prussian
discipline and inspired by ages of
martial tradition, did not have to
prove their courage. They have only
fought as the world expected them to.
But the French, regarded abroad as
"decadent," have demonstrated that
they are not inferior to the Germans,
whether in dashing charge or stub
born defense.
The British, despised by the Teu-
tons as foemen hardly worthy of their
steel, and looked upon by disinterest-
ed nations as inferior to their old
fighting stock, have shown no evidence
of deterioration. Who can doubt that
General French's men are the equals
of those, who under Wellington de-
feated Napoleon at Waterloo?
The Belgians had fought no war
for 80 years, and had become a ma
ton, for the most part Of factory en-
ployes. And where in Europe are
there better soldiers? The Russians
have astonished the world by the
spirit of their rank and file no less
than the brilliancy Of their strategy.
The Austrians have suffered great
ly in prestige, but they are not cow
ards. They have been outnumbered
by the Russians. They have been
badly led and poorly fed and equipped.
They lack unanimity because of the
medley of discordant races that make
up their armies and the natural SYM
pathies of their Slavic element with
the Slav enemy. Give any Of them
a good cause and real enemy and
see whether their friends or foes will
have ground for criticism.
The Servians, blood brethren of the
defeated Austro-H Hungarian Slavs,
have proved their valor again, in
their heroic war against the Turks.
The Turk himself yields to no man in
courage.
Such superficial differences as there
appear to be can be traced pretty
clearly to differences in training, and
in smaller degree, to differences in
mental attitude toward the war.
Every one of the belligerent ma
tions can justly be proud Of it's SOL
diers. They are all brave. We might
go further and say that the whole
human race is brave. Some branches
of it are less eager for combat than
others, but give them a good cause
and weapons and see how they will
fight! Even the Chinaman with his
constitutional dislike of war is not
afraid. A regiment of Chinese in the
German army would doubtless fight
like Prussians.
We have long worshipped this mil
itary value as if physical courage
were a rare thing. AS a matter of
fact, it is the commonest quality
among men-or women either, for
that matter. The only wonder is that
it has taken a great war to teach US
that truth.
The really rare thing, and the vir-
tue of supreme value, is moral cour-
age. Such courage might have pre-
vented the war, whereas physical
courage can only fight it.-Mankato

The Special Messenger drew her
buckskin gloves carefully through
her belt and buttoned the holster of
her revolver.
A hospital orderly, passing hur-

she mounted, thanked the orderly,
and swinging her powerful horse
westward, trotted off through the

with a nod and a low-spoken word.

countering the outer line of Union
pickets, she drew bride and sat stock
still in her saddle, searching in every
direction with alert, dark eyes.
A forest path, apparently leading
west, attracted her attention; into
this she stirredsher horse and contin-
ued, even after her compass had
warned her that the path was run
ming directly south.
A cabin stood at the farther edge.
Three forest bridle-paths ran west,
east and south from this blackened
clearing. She unbuttoned her waist,
drew out a map, and fiattening it on
her pommel, bent above, it in eager
silence. And, as she sat studying her
map, she became aware of a faint
tremor in the solid earth under her
horses feet. 1t grew to dull, Earring

and she hastily backed her horse
into the depths of the laurel, sprang
to the ground and placed both gaunt-

cavalry swept through the clearing at
a trot-a jaunty, gray column, riding
two abreast, then falling into sin
gle file as they entered the bridle-path
at canter.
There were only a hundred of
probably some of Stuart's rid
ers, for they seemed strangely fami-
liar.
What were they doing here? She
did not know. There seemed no logi-
cal reason for their presence.
This must be the burnt clearing;
her map and the cabin corroborated
her belief. Then it was here that she
was to meet this unknown man in
Confederate uniform and Union pay
"a spy like herself-and give him
certain information and receive GER
tain information in return.
Her instructions had been unusu-
ally rigid; she was to take every pre-
caution; use native disguise whether
or not it might appear necessary,
carry no papers, and let any man she
might encounter make the advances
until she was absolutely certain of
him. For there was an ugly rumor
afloat that he had been caught and
hanged, and that a Confederate
might attempt to impersonate him.
So she looked very carefully at her
map, then out of the thicket at the
burnt clearing. There was the
wretched cabin named as rendez-
vous, the little garden patch with
standing corn and beans, and here
and there following squash.
At last, with slight shiver, she
opened her saddle bags and drew out
the dress she meant to wear-a
dingy, earth-colored thing of ging-
ham.

OWNERS NOT MAKING MONEY
Right Side of Ledger When the
Present Campaign Is Over.

Owners of ball clubs are not going
to lay up lot of money this year.
Few of the clubs in the two major
leagues will have much of balance
on the right side of the ledger when
the present campaign is over, and so
far as the Feds are concerned their
losses must be enormous. Conditions
have not been for the best interests
Of the game this year.
There has been a lack of interest
from the outset. The public did not
take kindly to the talk of players
jumping and the prominence which
the mercenary end Of the sport has
been given. The threatened war
with Mexico also had it's effect, and
the present European mixup also
helps to detract from the sport.
Because of the one-sided contest in
the American league race the organi-
zation has been particularly hard hit
