ATTACKING BIRD LAW.

From the manner in which the Weeks Mclean migratory bird law was opposed in its course through congress from the south and west it was only to be expected that 1t might experience plenty of legal opposition when 1t came to be put into operation, so that it Is not surprising that Kan sas has raised a protest over its con- stitutionalfty. By the decision of @ federal judge in that state such a con- tention is upheld, it being considered a. violation of state rights to so pro- tect bird life.
 This will not of course be allowed to rest as a final decision. There are too many in sympathy with the pro visions of the federal law and who realize the necessity of such protec- ton if the wild birds are going to be preserved, to rest content under such a finding. It will be necessary for the United States supreme court to give it's opinion before the claim of uncorstitutionality will be accepted. AS is pointed out by the Massachu- setts state ornithologist, the serious ness of the situation lies in the fact that if two-thirds of all our states should be united in a policy of bird protection, and only two or three states kept their seasons wide open, they could work the total destruction of the very birds which all the other states were trying to protect.
 From the large amount of territory covered by migratory birds there is the necessity of uniformity in the pro- lection necessary for their pfeserva- ton and such lies in the enforcement through a federal law.

POSITION OF HOLLAND,

Generous has been the sympathy ex- tended to Belgium, Servia and Poland for the terrible effects of the war. They have been devastated by armies and crushed by the conditions and disease which have followed.
 Though not trampled by armies of invaders or damaged by the accom- paniment of actual warfare Holland is none the less suffering hardships which could be made worse only through actual participation in the conflict. Almost from the opening of the war has 1t considered it necessary to keep its army prepared against eventualities. It has experienced tre- nendous falling off in it's industrial operations while it's commerce has been seriously handicapped. It stands between two fires in the new policies of reprisal which the bellfgerents have adopted.
 It is but natural, therefore, that it should seek an explanation from Ger many concerning the seizure of two of its vessels which were bound to Eng land with food. The seizure of the cargoes might be justif1able, but the disposal of the vessels before a prize court displays no more respect to neu- tral Holland than did the sinking of the Frye in the South Atlantic to this country. All of Hollands troubles are not caused by Germany, however. for the contraband list of one belIigerent is as demoralizing to its products as that of the other. The result is the paralysis and stagnation of Hollands business life. The unfortunate position of this ordinarily busy little nation cannot go unnoticed, but 1t makes very little difference to the countries at war.

RIFLE CLUBS IN SCHOOLS.

For some time the wisdom of cre- ating a greater interest in rifle prac- tice has been felt and it has been get ting much encouragement through a movement back of which the govern ment stands whereby rifles and ammu- milton are furnished to rife clubs which are organized under stated con- ditions It has secured quite gen. erous response throughout the coun- try in recognition of the value which is thus to be obtained in the develop ment both of sport and a knowledge of how to handle a rife.
 The encouragement extended for in- creased interest in this direction has resulted in the organization of rifle clubs not only among the men, but in high schools and colleges, there be ing according to the last statistics 2T71 college clubs of this kind and 4SSS high school organizations.

THE ODENWALD CASE,

The interning of a vessel in the port of a neutral nation places a respon- sibility upon that country for such property throughout the war. That is to be recognized both by the coun- try to which the vessel belongs as well as the country which insures the pro- lection.
 Just what the Odenwa1d proposed to do if it was able to get away from San Juan harbor has not been defi- nitely revealed, but from the char acter of the steamer it can only be Interpreted as a desperate attempt to get to sea either for the carving of provisions to the last remaining of the German rovers or else it was hoped to be able to fit out as a war vessel to prey upon belligerent shipping. The circumstances were sufficiently sus- picious to warrant the denial of the clearance papers while the effort to leave in spite of the disrespect to the legal requirements and the neutral po- sition Of this country indicates the desperate character of the mission.
 When it is disclosed that the escape of the Odenwald and it's later appear ance as a cruiser would have made this country responsible for any dam age which it might have done, the same as happened to England after the Alabama received protection and assistance from a British shipyard and engaged in it's depredations, there re- mains nothing for this country to do but to take steps which will insure proper respect and protection. And had Its purpose been only to give help to belligerent warship it is equally important that our neutrality stand should be upheld.

presses the hope that there will event. ually be 100 such organizations in that state. n
 It can be readily understood that such clubs furnish admirable recruit ing ground for the state militia, and whatever advance training is obtained in the handling of the rife makes so much more valuable national guards men, At the same time such school organizations must be conducted un- der the strictest care and supervision. It is impossible to overlook the dan ger connected herewith unless the character of the organization is thor oughly understood and appreciated by each and every member. It is a club where carelessness must be tabooed and excellent results are even attain able on that score. The best discipline must be required,

 Painstakingly she baited the trap herself that night and from the utter blackness of dreamless sleep she shook him awake, Tt went off" she gasped. Eve got it! I've got the mouse!"
 Shaping on the light she darted at the window and presently triumphant ly held before him the trap with it's prey-the tiniest deadest, little mouse imaginable. "There.now, will you be- leVe mel"
 He opened one eye and blinked it disbelievingly. "Huh!" he gurgled. "Betcha bought it off some boy and stick it in there just to get the best of me" And was asleep again.

FEDERAL DRUG LAW,

The federal drug law which has re- gently gone into operation didn't come any too soon, and from the effects which 1t is producing throughout the country it is apparently accomplishing just what was desired. Designed to put a check upon the indiscriminate sale of narcotic drugs there are few cities which cannot show results all ready. Terrible are the revelations which have already been made con- corning the unreleasable grip which such drugs have gotten upon men and women of all ages throughout the country, for not only have the brakes been put upon the sale of such harm full and demoralizing stin1ulants. but there has been disclosed the pitiable victims of the detrimental practice.
 The disappearance of such stocks of dope as the users had laid in displays the alarming degree to which people have become slaves of the habit. In many cities special wards have been set aside by hospitals for the treat ment of the drug victims. Many had acquired the habit unknowingly through having been furnished dan gerous drugs under names which gave no inkling of the ingredients, and hav- 4nS use u1lll IL was Impossible to stop.
 The result is that a great number of drug users are welcoming the op- portunity which will permit them to get away from its clutches It re- quires proper treatment but it is one of the best things which could have befallen the small army of drug users throughout the country. Inability to get the stuff is not only going to result in the release of those already en- meshed, but it will be the means of preventing others from getting into the maelstrom,

Covered Retreat of Reisians.

 We cant get our minds off the war, which seems like lifetime instead of only eight months. Sometimes we try to change the subject, but it's got too strong hold of us we relapse into the jargon of shooting and smelling. We try to see the comic side of it~and there are many funny incidents. One night we were being badly sheIled with Black Marias, our postman and his two clerks were cooking some food in farmhouse. A shell struck the house and the postnen shot out like rockets.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society
HeIoium-out of 11,s7o square miles

BeIgium-Out of 11.370 square miles of territory occupied by Belgium be- fore the present war, less than 300 square miles thereof is still held by the Belgians and their Allies; and the normal population of the part of the country still held by the Belgians is only 100000, while the peace popula- tion of the whole country was more than 7,000,000.''
 All of Belgiums cities, her com merce, industry and resources of mine and timber lands now lie behind the German lines, which sweep from Westende, on the North Sea, to Basic, where the Rhine leaves Switzerland for Germany.
 Independent Belgium today is thin department of Pas-de- Calais. This area is the sand-dune infertile, low-ly- ing, sparsely populated part of Bel gium. Antwerp, Brussels, Liege, Ghent, Charleroi, Louvain, Namur, Os- tend, Malines and some score of other are under German domination. In that strip of territory which the Allies de- fend there is not 8 single city with 20,000 population, and there are but ten small towns in all the section.
 The coal fields of Lege. Mons and in normal times of 22,00O,000 tons a year, are in the hands of the invaders. The great steel and iron works of Liege and Charleroi are lost. When, in the years before the war, one pass ed through the busy city of Liege on the Paris-Berlin express at night, he saw thousands of splashes of fire glow In the fleeting shadows, where the restless furnaces of foundrfes trad ing with every country labored. The American traveller who watched these
 fires gleam by, recalled to mind a strip of railroad eastward out of Cleveland, where factory and foundry line the way for miles.
 The iron, zinc. lead and manganese mines of Belgium lie behind it's en- emy's lines. Its rich quarries of mar ble. granite and slate are in its north ern and eastern provinces. Here also, are, its forests and its more important manufactures. These sections have been in the hands of the invaders from the early days of the war. Ghent is duStry which occupies many of the cities and towns of Flanders, where wooden and cotton stuffs and lace genres are made, but the looms all lie behind the German front. So, too, is all of Belgiums agricultural country lost; and a saad-drift and stretches where dairy farming was carried on in peace times are all that now re- mains under the shadow of Belgium s battle standards.
