The absurdity Of such situation has
been growing In mems minds until the
remedy took the form OF the national

Congress the protection Of all m!gra-
tory birds was taken out OF the hands
of. the States and placed In the hands

In fact. 1t was from the French official report
that the world ut large first learned that there
had been an engagement of Importance on the
Aisne which had terminated unfavorably to
the allies.
Among the many surprises which have
come to the Germans in the war, surely none
be greater than this very frmness of
mind OF the French people In Teutontc
eyes, the French were n decadent and
volatile people, incapable of standing UP
under punishment for any length of time
and very prone to give vent to Il revolution
in case Of defeat. These representations
have been proven to be farcical. The war
has demonstrated that France Is peopled by
men who in steadfasteness and high, self
sacrificing patriotism are not surpassed by
any in all history. These men had to face
the tradition of German invincibility. and
they not only faced it; they destroyed it.
Party political strife vanished into nothing
when the war broke out, and now the French
