U. S. Should Be Represented.

I'm behalf of an affirmative answer we
point to the fact that as the United States
is to enter the proposed league at the
close Of the European war the United
States should be represented in the con-
ference wherein the details of the pro-
posed world league are to be discussed
and agreed to: and until these details are
agreed to-details which will settle the
big issues involved in this war-how will
it be possible for the belligerent powers to
agree upon peace terms? The German
government has accepted the main prin-
ciples demanded by the allies and agreed
to by the United States. and, therefore
the next forward step. in our judgment
is for President Wilson to informally
consult the beligerent governments as to
when and where the needed conference of
great governments shall be held, and then
to call the meeting, SO that the details of
the World League to Prevent Aggression
may be threshed out

Birds Family Troubles.

The human element In the behavior
Of pair of wrens at Hastings-on-the
Hudson, n. Y, has become the talk Of
the residence section of that village.
With the coming of the foliage on the
trees Mr.. Wren appeared on the
porch Of one Of the birdlOving MEM
bers Of the school teachers colony and,
as Is customary with the male wren,
began to build nest In the little
house 50 considerably provided. To
make the task easier, one of the house
hold laid out number of pieces Of
wrapping Irvine. With characteristic
male aversion for OverwOrk. Mr. Wren
took the Irvine and wove it into a nest.
When the BODYBUILDING was complete
the gentleman wren brought his lady
to the scene and after Il few proud
twitters flew to nearby tree. Left
alone for awhile the little lady I'M
wound the string and forthwith dis
lodged and threw it to the ground out
side of the house. When the master
wren returned he quickly noted this
act of vandalism and promptly picked
up the string and replaced it. Then
there was violent scene, which ended
in separation-;t least so it is sur
missed, for the little house is now de-
serted Just something of this kind
happened in Hastings some years ago,
except that the characters were mem
