The National Association Of Audubon Societies is en-
gaged the same sort of propaganda all over the
country. 1t is particularly concerned Just with
securing from congress supplementary enabling act
which will carry out the provisions of the federal
migratory bird treaty. The secretary associa-
ton. r. Gilbert Pearson speaks in much the same
fashion the Louisiana expert The crops will save
the nation" he says and the birds will help to save
the crops"
The association is alarmed 10y the tendency shown
in several TO relax the game laws. Any such
procedure is regarded as more than unwse just
now. because all the additions might make our
food supply in the way of game birds would be far
than offset by the consequent loss of crops owing
the multiplication OF insects
The association points out too that suspension OF
game laws for any reason whatever has demoraliz-
ing effect hunters because it gives many Of them
the impression that they "unIimitel license to
destroy every bird within reach"

France, the increase of the Ger
man army. as planned by the ruling
classes, has given rise to a feverish
competition i'm ornaments.
Again and again it has ben pointed
out in France during the last few
months-and in my opinion quite
fairly-that the recent alterations
in regard to the organization Of the
French army must be looked upon
solely as a measure of defense. Only
in the shape of a measure of de-
Tense could the French government
have dared to propose the reintro-

Gentlemen. il has been said that
we are compelled to increase our
army. because France is going TO
introduce compulsory service for the
term of three years. Whoever says
that falsiies the real facts Of the
case. for without our army bill
France would not have dTeamt OF
introducing the three years service
bill. I'Hear, hear from the social
democratsl. Even now. after the
first excitement has calmed down,
it is already quite plain that there is
just as little desire in France on the
part of the masses of the popula-
ton to shoulder these new personal
and economic bUydens. I'Hear,
hear. from the social demOcratsl J.
The propaganda in French military
circles for the three years service
has made no impression at all and

bill in the Post brought grist 10 the
