because of his books peoples attention
was drawn to the birds II sounds
strange. but It is true. that some OF the
finest things In the world go unnoticed
until book, or a picture, or an enthusi-
astic description attracts all eyes to
them.
There is now an Audubon society in
virtually every state In the union and
these are all combined for united action
in the association OF which have spoken.
The object OF this association Is the pro-
lection Of wild birds and animals. 1t has
its headquarters in New York and its
agents all over the country, as far as II
Is able TO obtain and maintain them.
| 1t was founded upon voluntary sub
] scriptions and endowments, and is mainly
derendent upon such for its continuance
/ ard specially for it's extension. IL is a
! charitable institution. expressing the
charity of man toward some of his less
gifted fellow creatures on the earth who
are at his mercy. Its inspirer and the
collector and director OF its energies is

There is, perhaps. no beneficent or
sganization in existence which spends so
small a proportion OF it's income upon
itself and so great proportion upon It's

birds-providing shelters reservations
and sanctuaries for them. guarding them
against starvation, getting laws passed
in their behalf, making friends for them

against the consequences of human greed.

ABANDONING CHILDREN.

Since Mrs. Finley j. Shepherd, who
was formerly Helen Gould. adopted a
five-year- waif from an orphan
women have written and telegraphed
claiming to be the boys parents. It's
hard TO understand the point Of view
of those men and women.
If we may judge from their num-
hers and their readiness to claim pa1-
enthood in this case. the crime Of
abandonment must be amazingly prev
alent, and must also be held lightly by
the criminals. Every such claim is an
implied confession of a deed which all
normal parents hold in adherence.
1t means the deliberate casting off of =
helpless child by its father or mother,
the surrender Of it to the mercles of
a society that is not merciful in such
matters, the betrayal of their own
flesh and blood either to early death
through neglect or to a life made UNI
happy by the lack Of a home, the
absence of all family ties. the per-
a brilliant American lawyer who
began life as a founding and who
rose to eminence in his profession,
and then sank into comparative OBJ
security through alcoholic indulgence,
was once heard to exclaim, May you
never know the bitterness of treading
the winepress alone!" The burden of
his isolation was what dragged him
down. Every abandoned child that
amounts to anything feels that deadly
isolation.
In any case. the offense of aband-
Ionment is looked upon by right-mind-
ed parents as objectionable. And yet
there are hundreds of men and wom-
en- who have either abandoned little
sons. or pretend that they. have. and
flaunt the disgrace of it for the doubt
full advantage of claiming a sort of
connection with rich and famous fos-
ter-parents.
It's shameful thing for Americans
to contemplate. Child abandonme nt
is common enough abroad, particular
ly in France and England, and the
great author Jean Jacques Rousseau,
was not ashamed to declare that he
had abandoned his children in their
infancy. But the United States has
been supposed to be pretty free from
that sort OF thing

In Russia a society for Promoting
Mutual Relations between Russia and
America has started giving friendly
dinners TO Americans in PetrOgrad. 1t
is going 10 give lectures there for the
benefit Of these same Americans, and
it expects TO send lecturers TO the
United States 10 disseminate friendly
information regarding Russia and the
Russian people. One of the foremost
leaders OF the movement is Baron
Rosen. formerly ambassador to this
country.
This is all very we'll We shall
welcome missionaries of Russian cuI-
ture, and lend an attentive ear to any
tnang they may have to say. so long as
they limit their efforts to praising
what is praiseworth. in their own land
and people, and do not attack or SLAM
der the nations with whom they hap
pen TO be at war. We have had
enough OF mutual recrimination by
war partisans on our neutral soil.
We ought to know more about the
Russians Americans in general are
ignorant of their abilities and virtues.
We Judge them by their worst repre-
sentatives-the ignorant and bigoted
peasants who vent their traditional
grudges in "poaToms" against the
Jews. and the undesirables at the
other extreme end OF the social scale
who have made Russian aristocracy a
synonym for corruption and injus-
tice. And thus we misjudge a great
people, of whom the aristocracy is
merely the froth and the bigoted peas
ants the dregs.
We misjudge them all because we
see so few native, representative Rus
slams; we do not go to Russia, and the
pure blooded Russian seldom comes
here But from their literature and
art. which are today as great as any
in the world, and from occasional
glimpses of sturdy and admirable
qualities in the average Russian, we
are coming to suspect that we have
not grasped the soul Of Russia
If Russia. however, really wants to
win our friendship and admiration,
she can persuade us far more quickly
by acts than by words. She should
start by removing the causes that have
turned us against her. Americans cam
not be well disposed toward any ma
ton that is characterized by political
and religious tyranny.
Let the Russian government give its
people freedOrzi and genuine govern
mental representation. Let it remove
the political disabilities of the Jews
and discourage and suppress the pop
uIar outbreaks against them-which,
but for government tolerance, would
be no more significant than are our
own occasional lynchings. Then we
shall be ready TO take Russia by the
hand.
And perhaps. when we come 10 un-
derstand each other, we can learn

tined some day to be supreme ~ Eu-
