Bird Sanctuaries

"A program is being arranged for
the formal dedication of the campus
of the University of Utah as a bird
sanctuary on May IA.
Word has come from Illinois that
Crane Lake in that state has been
made a wild life refuge. This lake
has an area OF about 1000 acres.
Anaho Island in northwestern Ne.
yada, and Smith Island in Washington
have been made national bird reserva
tons by executive order. We now
have Go such reserves in the Unit.

Eastern cities are taking up the
necessity for forming wild life ref.

one to take the matter of a munich.
pal sanctuary under advisement.
The food OF the robin Is AZ. 40 per
cent animal matter, and 81 60 per
cent vegetable matter. Only one
fifth Of the vegetable matter is made
up of cultivated fruits; the rest is
wild fruit. Plant berry bearing
shrubs and trees for the birds; that
is the solution of the question of the
destruction to the farmers crops.
At the present time a horde of
srickets four miles long and twelve
feet wide is destroying grain fields in
Wilson Creek, Mich. They ought 10
have a few thousand of our seagulls
to aid them!
On a tramp In the mountains last
Sunday the writer identified thirteen
species OF birds. One was the first

that OF the purple house finch. so

were to discuss outings for 1916 as a

much interested in wild bird life
conservation. 1t was he who gave
the prize recently offered for the best
essay on Birds" written by the
school boys and girls in that city,
who are pupils in the seventh and
eighth grades. Katie Forbes was the
fortunate winner, girl of 10 years
who write very creditable essay and
showed considerable familiarity with
the subject.
Prof. r. j. DeLoach has a very
good word to say for the despsed

there was scourge of army worm

saw about 1000 English sparrows

was feeding upon fields of German
millet and Tin about As hours these
little birds had completely cleaned

Ducal Etiquette

The late Alfred Vanderbilt, at din- ner at his London fiat at the corner of Park Lane and Piccadilly once said to an American guest:
 "It isn't true that an American, when he visits great English coun- try house; is embarrassed and doesn't know how to act. Good manners are good manners everywhere. If you know how to act at a quick-lunch counter you will know how to act in a dukes castle.
 "I'm in sympathy with the New Yorker, whose wife, on a visit to an English country house, worried her self silly for fear she'd break some rule of country house etiquette.
 "One morning at breakfast she up- set her egg cup in chipping off the she'll of her egg, and the egg crashed down onto the floor.
 "Oh, George" she whispered to her husband, Eve dropped an egg! What am I to do?"
 "well," said George, whatever you do, don't cackle."

GERMANY SEEMS
 TO MISUNDERSTAND

It isn't any wonder that the German government doesn't understand public sentiment in the United States. It It has failed to understand every na- tion that it has had anything to do with in connection with this war. The militarist-statesmen at Berlin seem diplomatic blind.
 They believed that Great Britain wouldn't go to war-that it couldn't, because Irish revolution was immin- ent, and because the British colonies would all revolt if war were declared. The German ambassador had so as- sured the Kaiser But the Irish sub- sided, and every colony in any quarter of the world hastened to help fight the Germans. The Boers, counted on particularly to join the German cause, have just conquered German south west Africa and added it to the Bri- tish Empire, and are about to fight for England in France.
 The German statesmen believed that Belgium wouldn't resist invasion, and Belgium resisted. They believed that Russia would face revolution, and would take two months to mobilize anyhow, and in two weeks united Rus sia was battering at East Prussia. They believed that France was de- cadent and hopelessly divided, and France is united, fighting with a spirit that wins the admiration even of Ger many.
 They believed that Italy was with them, and Italy is fighting on the other side. They believed that Japan would keep her hands off from hatred of Russia, and Japan drove the Ger mans out of Asia and is cooperating with Russia and helping to drill Rus sian recruits. They believed that Ser via couldn't fight, and Servia drove out the Austrians and kept them out.
 They believed that Austria was a strong ally, and Austrian arms have lost everywhere except when support ed by Germans. They believed that the Sultan of Turkey could start Holy War of Mohammedans against the Allies in Asia and Africa, and the Holy War failed utterly.
 In every land their diplomatic re- presentatives and secret emissaries appear to have given the Kaiser. un- reports, or else all re- ports have been misinterpreted at Berlin. Now the Berlin statesmen fail to get the American or appreciate the strength of the American support of the presi- dent in his demand that Germany re- Spect our sea rights.
 It is strange that the leaders of a race so brilliant in other respects should fail so completely in seeing in to the minds of other races. Even German leaders in America seem od- lily lacking in insight. In arms, Ger many is the admiration of the world, put in diplomacy she has nothing to show but a series of blunders that lave alienated even friendly neutrals md won her "world of enemies"
