Ideals have been thrust upon us
as an argument for the league until

revolts from them. Are ideals con-
fined to this deformed experiment
upon a noble purpose tainted as it
is with bargains and tied to a peace
treaty which might have been dis
posed Of long ago to the great ben

compelled to carry this rider on its
back?

our country strong to resist a peril

the German menace from the East.
We would not have our politics dis

sions of other lands.

there is wide difference between
taking a suitable part and bearing a

Likening the league to the ill.,
famed Holy Alliance, Mr.. Lodge
quoted the covenant provision giving
it's meetings with any matter

continued:
There is no such sweeping or far
reaching provision as that in the
treaty Of Paris. and yet able men de-
veloped from that treaty the Holy
Alliance. which for IS years. was an
unmitigated curse to the world.
England broke from the Holy Ali

that it was intended to turn the al

nebec river, have noticed recently the
presence among the gulls several
specimens of gulls of anothr kind.

the black-headed gulls. and I'D to
within a few years ago were very
scarce, but now that they are pro-
tected by law they have begun to
increase in numbers. State Ornithol-
ogist Forbush Of Massachusetts,, who
has recently returned from a trip
TO the southern shores of that state,
reports that since the law went into
effect the number of black headed
guiis have increased. These birds
were SO reduced that the only sur
vvors. so far as known. were IL pairs
on Auskegat Island. They. like 9TH
er gulls. were hunted for their breasts
ana wings. and were nearly extermin-
ated. The Audubon law for the pro-
lection OF gulls and other shore birds
put an end to the fndiscrimfnafe
slaughter. and now the biackheaded
gus are becoming more numerous.

they back either party of the con-
