few Americans resident in Paris, votion to France.
 The Presidents aim may be charac- tcrized as an attempt to eliminate the
 causes of war. Champions of dissent ing plans have seemed to believe that Che reduction of Germany to impotence
 was to be desired above the establish ment of restrictive program of jus tice among the nations engaged in for mulating peace terms. Such persons have had their eyes fixed on the fruits of war, while the President is more concerned with getting rid of the seeds of conflict
 We are too near the heart of things to get a true perspective. For that reason trifles are exaggerated into false importance and prominence has been given to by-plays.
 The American situation may be cpl tomized as steady development along lines laid down by the President, along which there is progress. Our solidarity of purpose is sometimes questioned by seeming divergencies in express ions from America, from sue hsources as Colonel Roosevelt, Senator Lodge and Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. At first these voices tended toward dis cord here, but French opinion now is surely crystalized into convictions that President Wilson speaks not only for America, but also for the world, and that he is heartily determined to think in terms of future peace, rather than in terms of past wars.

to build the navy and support it, and to furnish
ships and transport, we must have money in
large amounts. The expenditures of the Gov

at $240000OO,0O0, sum which battles the
imagination to conceive. That vast amount

HAWK DESTRUCTIVE TO TREES
Birds UnVarying Diet OF Fish Sooner
or Later Causes Death Through
Accumulatons of Grease.

Random bits of curious KNOWLEDGE
often come the way of persons who
live in the summer time close by the
oceans edge. One gets to know. for
instance, such things as why hawk
nests so often are seen in dead trees.
1t is not that the hawk, in seeking
a home site. by choice picks a dead
tree in which to build its nest Of twies
and things; on the contrary it inya-
riably selects a live one. The dead
tree is the effect, not the cause of the
hawks preference.
Hawks Of the kind considered here
live exclusively on fish. Fish are
oily, and so it follows that after a
few thousand have been dissccted and
eaten in a nest the tree inhabited by
a hawk family becomes discouraged
and abandons the struggle
After hawks have used a lofty
bough as dining room for two or
three years a tree becomes so greasy
that leaves find if impossible 10 hold
on. The oil slowly makes it's way to
the roots covering them and making
the absorbing of water from the earth
ont of the question. Deprived OF oxy-
gen, having no leaves through which
TO breathe it in, and Of water. because
its roots are creased like a Labor day
pig, the tree gets discouraged and
gives up the fight.
