individuals are feeding the birds to keep
them from perishing during the storm Of

Of natural history TO feed quail or other
birds. II is only necessary to put the
feed where it can be found, and in such
shape that it may be eaten when discov-
cred Thousands Of our birds that will
otherwise perish can be saved il the gem
eral public will assist just little in scat
tering hand full Of feed.

VIII Sooner or Later Secure Repara
ton for Bentons Death-Great
Britain VIII Not Interfere in
the Mexican Embroollo.

London, Eng.--Sir Edward Grey,
the British Foreign Secretary, in an
important statement on the Mexican
.sitaafion in the House OF Commons
made plain the British Governments
view that no immediate action could
be taken by it in connection with
the deadlock over the investigation
into. the death at Juarez of William S.
Benton. He was equally explicit in
pointing out that if Great Britain fail
ed to secure satisfaction through the
United States, the British Govern
ment reserved to itself the right to
secure PREPARATION whenever it was
able to do so.
Intense resentment has been dis
played throughout the British Isles
over wEa@ is regarded as the attempt
on the part of Venustiano Carranza,
the Constituencies leader. to SOW
discord between England and the
United States and also over the re-
peated delays in the investigation OF
the death of Benton
Sir Edward Grey declared that while
communications with the United
states to secure an investigation Of
+3enton's death are still proceeding,
these communications do not imply
that the government of the United
States has any responsibility for what
has taken place--by which | mean Of
course the death OF Benton" He
then said

ernment should go to all lengths to

Il would, therefore, sum up the sit

States thinks 1t proper to take further
steps either on behalf OF its own cit
izens or Of a British subject. we will
gladly wait the result But il for
reasons of its own the United States
