PERILs OF BIRD SLAUGHTER
National Association Of Audubon So.
cieties Points Out Danger Of
Relaxed Game Laws.

New York.-Grave perils threaten
the agriculture Of the United States
through the indiscriminate slaughter
Of birds and of wild life. according to
statement issued by the directors Of
the National Association of Audubon
Societies.
Mr.. T. Gilbert Pearson, the secre-
tary of the association, I'm making pub
lie resolutions adopted by the board
Of directors, said that unless every ef-
fort is made to enforce all game pro-
lection laws. the resulting unrestrain-
ed activities OF gunners and pot-hunt-
ers would soon destroy the natural
foes Of insects and Of rodent pests and
of weeds.
"The crops will save the nation"
says the official statement, "and the
birds will help to save the crops Tn
this national crisis, America Is looked
upon by our allies as the granary of
the world and the source of food
which must sustain the fighters In the
months Of struggle yet TO come. There
fore every effort should be made to
increase the yield Of our fields.
This association points to the grave
peril which attends the relaxing of
the wise statutes enacted for con-
serving the wild life Of this country,
which il more and more recognized
rs an important economic factor"

PLAN SPRING GARDEN NOW
Agricultural Department Says There
viii Dc Need for Large Pro-
duction In 19fou

Washington.-Take thought of the
spring garden now.
Notwithstanding the large produc-
ton Of vegetables last year and the
great volume put into cans and Jars
for winter use. there Is nothing to In
dicate that there will not be equal
need for production and conservation
In 1918, says the United States depart
ment Of agriculture.
Many gardens failed last year be-
cause Of poor soil or poor preparation
or both.
This Is the time In many sections
to break and to fertilixe. Then in
the spring 1t will be easier to make
the seedbed and the soil will contain
plant food.
For the average householder 1t will
be sufficient to prepare ground enough
to produce the home supply for eat
Ing In the fresh state and for can
ming, drying or brining for use during
the following winter. Producing veg
etables for market should not be un-
dertaken without full knowledge Of
horticulture and sufficient capital and
equipment.

FRENCH TAKE WHEAT
Seven Ounces Of Bread Daily Lin
it Except to Hard Workers.
Sacrifice Accepted by French People
Uncomplaininaly on Governments
Explanation OF Necessity.

WashingtOn.-Only the very poor.
and men and women doing the hardest
kind of manual labor, may have more
than seven ounces of war bread q day
In France from now on, the United
States food administration has been
advised by the French government.
The entire French wheat crop has
been requisitioned by the government.
This sacrifice has been accepted by
the French people uncomplainingly on
the governments explanation that only
by such restriction can American re-
endorsements be transported In ships
that otherwise would carry grain for
their bread, and that, In addition, this
grain for French bread cas come from
America only by virtue of the actual
saving of this grain by reduced con-
sumption of bread by the American
people.
''These extremely severe measures" !"
said the French statement, especially
the seven ounces a day, have deeply
impressed public opinion"
Men who are very poor or who do
hard manual labor get about Il ounces
Of bread day; women who are very
poor or who are employed on hard
work get about ~ ounces day; every
one else gets seven ounces, which Is
less than half of a pound loaf, or not
more than four or Ave slices.
This bread is made of -four compris-
ing all the elements of wheat except
bran, with heavy admixture of flour
from other cereal grains, which Is
obligatory.
The price OF bread Is fixed by vari-
Gus government agencies all along the
line between producer and consumer.
Baking of pastry or biscuits from
-four that is ft for bread Is prohibited.
Confectioneries and other such shops
are closed two days a week. Eating
pastries In public Is forbidden.

TELLS CHASTITY TALE
Inhuman Germans Described BY
Holy City Refugees.
Great Suffering Among Population OF
Jerusalem After Germans
Took Control.

Denver, Colo.-Stories Of the fright
full experiences suffered by residents
of Jerusalem previous to the capture
of the Holy City by British forces un-
der General Allenby were told here
by Miss Celia Moinestea, who, with
her mother, fled from the torture in
fiicted by Turkish soldiers and Ger
man officers there several months ago.
Miss Moinestea and her mother
were among 800 refugees who escaped
from Jerusalem while thousands were
starving within the gates of the an
cient city.
There was agonizing suffering
among the civil population of Jeru-
salem after the Germans took control
of that city," said the youthful refu-
gee. Hundreds died of starvation
when food, imported for the inhabit-
ants of the stricken city, was seized
by military authorities and diverted
to the soldiers. Our friends fell dead
about us like fleas. Scores of young
girls sold their souls to the German
soldiers In return for food"
1t took five months for Miss Moines-
tea and her mother to reach Denver
after leaving Jerusalem.
"We witnessed the most heart-rend-
ing scenes while travelling through
Austria" the girl declared, where
roads were filled with cripples and
food was so scarce that the peasants
refused TO sell even small portions at
fabulous prices offered by the trav-
elers."

New Basis Of Exchange Suggested BY
French officer.

The proposed exchange Of prisoners
between France and Germany brought
out suggestion from an army officer
who has had charge of prison camps.
"You know" he said, I'VE feed our
prisoners well and they are strong and
hearty. The Boche, on the other hand,
Is pinching our fellows pretty badly.
Most of the nourishment they get is
sent them from France. The only fair
way is to exchange these prisoners by
weight-so many hundred pounds OF
Germans for the same weight In
Trenchmen.
