Don't Kill the Birds

Scientific men say that farmers and
fruit-growers in this country suffer
an annual loss amounting to total
of one billion dollars as a result Of
the reckless and useless slaughter of
insectivorous birds in the past thirty
years. They assert that there is
nothing that can take the place of the
birds in destroying certain harmful
insects, such as the cotton boil wee
vii, the chinch bug, the Hessian fly,
etc.

"The purpose OF this organiza-
ton" said Madame Cram, 'ls to
enable these destitute people TO be-
come self supporting and indepen.
dent also TO lay the foundation for
a close and permanent commercial
alliance between France and Amer
lea.
"All the surplus money realized
above the cost of importation and
marketing will be" sent to France

producers of the articles sold,
Many Were Artists.
MANY OF the crippled soldiers
whose work Is displayed in our New
York headquarters were artists be-
fore the war. They made dolls and
other toys of rare beauty and origi-
nality Of design. The dolls are
dressed by Frenchwomen."
A plan has been formed whereby
money to buy materials will be
raised by subscription before
Madame Cram goes to France next
month. After her return to Amer
lea with large variety of articles,
an exhibition will be held in New
York during August. This display
will be followed by others in the
large cities OF the United States.
At the suggestion OF Count " Mac
chi de Cellere. the Italian ambassa-
dor, Madame Cram will go to Italy
on this trip TO organize similar work
among italian soldiers and refugees.

CATCHING THE sLACKEBs

The American. British and Canadian governments are arranging to prevent slackcrs from military service from evad ing duty by taking up their residence il the territory of each nation. The agree mcut which has been drawn up providing for compulsory enlistment of such persons according to the regulations of the country in which they are at present residing will draw thousands of young men who have hitherto laughed at all conscription laws.
 After months of recruiting campaigns i'm America, the Canadian and British of fcials are convinced that there is no other manner in which their citizens may be in- duccd to assume the duties devolving upon them as citizens and are now going after them without gloves
 Nor is this kind of stacker confined to Canada and England. It is known that many Americans of draft age made their way into Canadian territory in spite of regulations against it. But they have only postponed their time The proposed agree mcnt will give them the option of return ing willingly, but if they do not choose to do so, they will automatically become the subject to prevailing conscription laws.
 This is a sensible agreement and saves lots of bother for the future. It should have been made months ago, and hundreds of men would have been added to the ar
