Washington, May &.-The story of how
vast resources Of the United States may
be used to aid the republics of South and
Central America in clearing away difficult
ties that the European war has brought
upon the Western hemisphere was tod
in part today to business men and mank-
ers who represent this nation at the Pan
American financial conference.
I'm group conferences delegates from
is countries began explanations to repre-
sentatives Of the commercial and tinan-
cial interests Of the United States OF
their peculiar needs, and indicated IL
what ways capital and credit could be
used to best advantage to strengthen
trade relations. The only general session
of the conference today was marked by
a dramatic speech by DR.. Santiago Perez
Triana, delegates from Colombia, who
waved the flag of Pan-Ar1ericanisrn and
declared that this hemisphere should BE-
for Americanism. He proposed new
version of the Monroe Doctrine that
would make it impossible in the future
for one American nation to covet foot
of neighbor's territory or invade her
sacred soil.
Addresses by Gov. Charles S. Hamlin
Reserve Board, followed py addresses by
delegates and invited guests, occupied
the attention of the conference at the
forenoon session. LaterSecretary Bryan
gave a luncheon in honor OF number
Of the delegates.
Paul M. Warburg
Need for greater reliance on their own
resources is one lesson which the Euro
pean war has brought home to the ma
tons not involved. in the opinion of Paul
NJ. Warburg. member of the Federal Re-
serve Board.
Mr.. Warburg pointed out that when
the war began England. then acting as
banker for the world, felt forced to ask
for some of the vast sums due her and
that this request was reflected in vary
ing degrees in countries that were in her
debt. He spoke of the acute situation
which resulted in the United States and
elsewhere on this hemisphere. and added:
The lesson which all nations will haYe
to learn from last years experience is
that it is unwise for the world to place
its financial dependence upon any single
nation. and that those who can afford
to do so, as for the instance the United
States, should from this time on adopt a
policy Of greater reliance upon their own
resources. Those countries which can
not rely exclusively upon their own re-
sources should adopt a policy of dividing
their risks Of financial dependence as
evenly and widely as they possibly can.
Europe has done much in developing
both the northern and southern parts of
this hemisphere. European banks and
bankers have been our staunch and loyal
friends In the past 1t would be unbe-
coming to NJ and disloyal at the same !
time were We to forget this Or to at |

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
Is GREAT IN MICHIGAN

We are certainly living in the auto
mobile age il is safe TO say that more
than two hundred cars are owned in
side radius of five miles of Bedding.
Secretary OF State c. c. Vaughan re-
ports that the department had al
ready issued 10000 automobile IL
censes this year, and IL is confidently
predicted by the state department that
more than 100000 licensed motor cars
will be operated in Michigan by jan
uray I, 1916.
In addition to the 10000 automo-
bile licenses, the state department has
licensed 1900 chauffeurs and 6,l51
motorcycles.
The steady growth of the automo-
bile business in Michigan is shown by
the reports OF the state department for
the last six years
In 1909, when the automobile Ii
cense law first took effect. the state
department issued HIS licenses
During that year, chauffeurs and
motorcycle license owners were not
required TO take out license.

EDITH MUNGER SAYS
THE MICHIGAN BIRDS
SHOULD Be SAVED
EVERY ONE HAS DUTY no PER
FORM DESTROYING INSECTS
AND WEED SEEDS

The following address was given by
Mrs. Edith Munger, president OF the
State Audubon Society, OF Hart, recent
ly regarding the conservation OF our
native birds. IL is interesting 10 know
what is being done in Michigan TO
perpetuate these, mans best friends:
During the last few years a new
word has come into very prominent
use in our country, a word made nee
essary, in way, because America has
been SO abundantly supplied with all
OF the good gifts of Nature. This
word is conservation. Because we
have needlessly destroyed from an
abundance that seemed ineXhaustible,
now the Government must conserve
the forests the food, the streams, the
plant life and not the least important
the bird life Now that IL is becom-
ing so we'll known how necessary TO
the preserving of human life is the
preservation of bird life, all manner
of means have been taken 10 ind out
and make the people understand the
economic value of bird life TO the
community. The Biological Survey,
was appointed by the government TO
find out by careful examination of the
stomachs of birds what they eat. AL
though this causes some loss of life,
if the scientists can say exactly what
certain birds eat, il can be known what
birds eat the grain and in what
proportion 10 the number of insects
and weed seed Birds are enormous
eaters. They eat all of the time.
their great work is 10 keep the insect
life down.
The biological survey says that all
birds do more good than harm, even
those that eat grain. Get the bird
Bulletin from this department and you
will receive free accurate information
as to the food OF any bird. Each
family of birds has its own special
work.
Birds might be classified into the
following groups: The ground birds;
the tree trunk protectors; the foliage
caretakers; the air cleaners; and the
scavengers Of the beach.
Perhaps the most valuable of the
ground birds is the bob-white. He
is always here; from dawn until dark
he is eating insects and weed seed. II
is no eXaggeration TO say that during
one season the bob-whites eat 100 tons
Of weed seed and insects They are
protected until 1917 by the present
law A little brush heap left may
save many bob-whites during the win
ter, for they are easily overcome in
the snow Hawks and owls belong to
this class. In one nest of owls were
found the skulls of 5000 mice, gophers
moles and other pests. New York put
"A bounty on hawks and owls and by
the second year there was such a de-
crease in their crops that they called
in the Biological people 10 tell why.
The result was that they repealed the
law and imported owls and hawks

ed The owls also are powerful
enemy OF the cutworm. The wood
pecker is one OF the best specimens
OF tree trunk protectors. The farmer
knows better now than formerly.
When he sees the familiar woodpeck-
err on the side of the trees he now
knows that this bird with its wonder
full beak and long tongue. with its
spear and sticky substance on the
point OF il, is one of his most powerful
helpers in keeping his trees from in
sects. The brown creeper, the nut
hatch and the cheerful chickadee be-
long 10 this class. Up i'm the branches
work the foliage care takers. To this
class belong the beautiful warblers,
who work all over the blossoms; the
viriols who work on the under side of
the leaves; the ting kinglet that is so
light he works out on the end of the
twigs. There are 400 different kinds
of insects that attack oak trees alone.
These birds work necessarily clear
ing the trees of harmful insects and
grubs.
The graceful swallow is one of the
The phoebe also is a great fly catcher
This class of birds catch the insects
flying about Since barns nowadays
are built so tight and dry, the barn
swallow has hard time finding
place for its home. The martins
would be with us great deal more if
we would put up suitable houses for
them They like 10 build many nests
near each other
The scavengers of the beach, the
gulls and the plovers are two OF many
that do this important work. These
birds take care of decaying and dan
gerous matter that washes up on the
shores of our lakes and other bodies
of water
The following are few snap shots
of the remainder OF Mrs. Munger's
talk. Alfalfa weevil is eaten in great
quantity by our sparrows.
1t does more harm to the boy who
kills sparrows for a bounty and other
birds as well, than il can possibly do
good to the community TO have the
bird killed.
Our birds have been destroyed in
such numbers while south for the win
ter that the Federal Migratory Bird
Law came as a necessity.
Encourage the house wren TO nest

that they will accept. Grape baskets

Most of the grain eaten by birds is

grain, the other 81 per cent eaten be-

ALASkA'S CLIMATE
 IS CHANGING

Without a doubt the climate of AL aska has changed for the better within seventeen years. All people seem to think so who have been here for that period. After making every allowance for the possibility that the supposed change may only have been due to our becoming accustomed to the condi- tions, there is still every reason to believe that the climate of Alaska ac- tually is undergoing change. This Is nothing supernatural It has been gradually downing on the minds of
 aYmen in the territory for years and scientists have given voice to the same opinion
 remarkable thing in this connec@ tion Is that Amundsen the explorer said the warm ocean currents were changing In such manner that the climate to the north of Alaska Is un- dergoing constant change for tha bat. ter He even said that the lee in the northwest passage was flowing steadily towards the Atlantic and would soon empty itself into the ocean. This state ment was made before the Titanic dis aster and it Is quite possible that the great vessels destruction was due to extraordinary ice foes into the Allan tie from the passage. Amundsen said those things while he was at Nome after his trip and wrote them after wards in an outside magazine so there is no reason at all why old residents of the territory should doubt the re- suits of their own observations. That the climate of Alaska, is becoming mllder seems. indeed, to be a positive fact It was tropical country before. remember, and, hang it, it is pretty tropical right now-Seward Gateway

 In d vault of the fortress cathedral of SIS. Peter and Paul, in Petrograd, the place of interment of the czars, two great candles are always kept burning one at the head and the other at the foot of the casket of the czar last buried.
 These candles. which are replaced immediately they are burned down, since the burial of Alexander IT., in 1881 at the head and foot of his tomb and were transferred in 1894 to the head and foot of the czar next to die There they will remain until another emperor dies and Is buried.
 A guard of officials in semi military uniform Is always on duty to keep the candles trimmed and alight, with strict orders never to let one go out.
