American birds did their part in the
war by aiding in food conservation, ac-
cording to the annual report of the
National Association of Audubon So
cieties.
Herbert C. Hoover as food adminis-
traitor, had asked the American people
to protect the insect eating and mi
gratory birds.
Increased acreage under cultivation
very naturally means more insects in
turn and the need of more birds to
combat Them" says the Audubon So
cieties' report. "Hence there has been
Il still greater need for Audubon serv-
ice which through its many agencies
supplies information and through it's
wardens is protecting bird life"
Investigate Pelican.
Il. Gilbert Pearson, executive head
Of the association, at the request of
the food administration went to the
Southern Atlantic coast to investigate
n complaint that the brown pelican was
destroying valuable food fish and there
fore should be exterminated His in
vestgation in the pelican colonies from
Mexico to Key West showed the re-
ports libeled the pelican clan. He
says the 65,000 odd adult pelicans in
those colonies prey entirely on fish
that is not eaten by man and which
are destructive to the young of mar
ketable species.
Another complaint was that the sea
gulls were despoiling the sheep ranges
on the islands off the coast of Maine.
An agent of the association investigat-
ing the report found that on the con-
trary the gulls were oe material aid
in increasing vegetation.
The association was active in pre-
venting the destruction of the Klamath
and Malheur bird reservations in Ore
gOn and California, which were to have
been dismantled and drained on the
plea that they were needed for farming
purposes. The birds which took refuge
there in the breeding season were
shown to be valuable cOnservators of
grain and fruit, justifying the use OF
the land as reserve.
Practical Use of Bird Life.
H. K. Job, in charge of the depart.
ment of applied ornithology, at his ex
perimental bird farm at Amaton, Conn.,,
made important investigations showing
the practical use of bird life and dis
tributed his knowledge to landowners
through writings and lectures.
The work of the association will be
aided by the passage of the enabling
act of the migratory bird treaty, which
will afford means of protecting birds
on their way from the United States
to Canada. 1t is expected that the act
will become law now that world peace
will permit a more determined camt
paign in its favor.
Despite the distraction caused by the
war, the association has had healthy
growth in the fiscal year. The move,
ment to show the economic value of
the work brought into the association
161 life members, a large yearly in,
crease. An addition of 10000 BOYS
and girls were enrolled in the 6,297
classes conducted throughout the coun
try, work increased through the do,
nations from the late Mrs. Russell
Sage, General Coleman du Pont and
George Eastman. The sustaining mem.
bership of the association now nuns
bers $3.50 persons, each of whom pays
S. annually.

Office of True Friend.

TO know that you have friend con-
cerned in your struggle robs it Of half
its hardness. Disapp0.ntments that
would assume bitter proportions lose
their edge in the friends smile. He
helps us see that matters might have
been worse. Emerson is never tired
of eXtolling the merits of the nurse
of his childhood who always helped
him belittle his petty hurts by being
glad they were not much more painful.
And that's the office of the sincere
friend. His office is to bring out our
best and make US manly.

To have lived through the great war
aud not to know that it was going on
s the most unusual record of Mrs.
Berthe Spandau, eighty-nine years Old,
German by birth, now living in New
York. Her age kept her son from
telling her about the horrors of the in
vasion of Belgium and of the sinking
Of the Lusitania. He didn't wish her
to worry and fret.
But the day of the peace demon
stration made it impossible to keep
silent. The old lady heard the
whistles blowing and the crowds
cheering, and she demanded to know
what it was all about. When they
told her she raised her hands in a ges-
ture Of imprecation and said:
ooh, if only could get these two
hands on that kaiserw
Oppressive Taxes.
Mrs. Spandau lived in Richen-
walde, which is little town of about
1000 people. According to her de-
scription and that of her son it is
much like the German towns that you
used to see on the stage in the days
before they were banished from IL.
There were carved wooden houses and
storks and narrow streets and a town
hall and a belfry with a sweet-toned
bell.
But this was not all. There We're
faNnc fn hn mid ord 1ubDr1
six children German taxes are moth
ing to be laughed at. If you cannot
pay them an officer or an under Off
Ger comes into the house and
looks over all your things. If you
have two clocks, says Mrs. Spandau,
or two tables or even two chairs, the
tax officers take one of them. They
hold them for a few days and then if
you still do not pay, the things are sold
at auction and you may be sent to
prison.
If your children are not sent to
school, and it is not always easy to
do this when there is nothing for
them to eat, you or your husband may
be set to work for the govern
ment breaking stones or chopplng
wood, and again you may be sent to
prison.
Not Happy Life.
Besides this, Mrs. Spandau said,
her husband was a German soldier.
Evidently, even in those days, a Ger
man soldier did not have q happy life.
Mrs. Spandau said he was in such
fear of the, government that he made
her promise, before he died, that none
of his five sons would ever wear the
gray uniform. They never did, Sol
Spandau explained though there is a
nephew wearing the United States uni
form over in France.
Mrs. Spandau was disgusted by the
kaiser's 0'"ht to Holland. She asks
what h he kaiser and his six sons
done thu dra7 a salary of 6,OOO,-
900 ma oln the day they are
born, while her babies have to work
for their living. And who pays for
MI the richness but the German peo-
pie?
mo one" said Mr.. Spandau, the
son, "has been more patriotic than die
nutter. She says that she is sorry
hat her sons are all too old to go
md that her grandchildren are all
daughters.

November II was a great day for
Corporal Louis Romanelli, a Cleveland
boy in France.
Not because the war was over and
he was sure of coming home. But be,

November II is the day he was
kissed by thousand beautiful
French women. He tells about it in
a letter to his mother and says that
he was saluted as a representative of

Today is the ffty-eighth birthday of
General Sir Edmund Allenby, the Brit
ish commander who won brilliant sue
cesses in the Holy Land, and who has
now been made high commissioner for
Egypt with full authority to deal with
the serious situation in that country
Fine leadership has characterized the
career of General Allenby. At the
very outset of the great war he was
given command of the cavalry division
of the army that event out in 1914
to stay the onrush of the kaiser S
hordes, and it is generally acknowl-
edged that the mastery manner in
which he covered the terrible retreat
from Mons must be attributed in great
measure the allies escape from disas-
ter. General Allenby continued to serve
on the western front until his transfer
10 Egypt in the early part of 1917. La
| ter he was given command of the Pales-
tine expedition, which covered itself
with glory in the capture of Damascus
and other Turkish strongholds.
