Let the little birdies\ beware! Even
the Nebraska Audubon society Sat-
urday refused to pass resolution
against taking their f~es.
Let it not be understood from this
that the good people of this So
ciety are in favor of killing birds.
Far be it from such. They love
the birds as much as ever. In fact
the killing of one solitary robin,
the now-famous "Albino robin"
precipitated the merry fight of last
night.
Charles Perkins, wearing his
scout master UNIFORM, was the GEN.
ter of all eyes. Some were con-
demning eyes. For CharlesNis the
slayer of the Albino robin. He shot
it in the interests of science, a
white robin being about as> rare
thing as a blue, moon.
Says Bad Example.
II think Mr. Perkins did not make
a mistake in killing the white robin,
from the standpoint of taxider-
mist" said Mrs. w. r. Baxter. But
he did make a great mistake be-
cause he is a scout master and his
killing of the bird set bad exam
pie for the Boy Scouts"
Does Mr.. Perkins agree never
to do such thing again." demand
ed Walter Hayward
IF ! have a scientific license and
a similar occasion should arise, |

Sunday afternoon the river had
eaten its way into what is known as
the old Barstow slough and had cut

fine group of buildings on the
Marks estate. Sectinons of the
highway have been engulfed and the
crumbling banks were within less

On the table where President Roy

ing the grosbeak which was rescued

month ago.
"All this fuss about Mr.. Perkins

Cats Kill Birds.

all seem I'd have nine lives at least

they don't quite succeed in killing.

The wounded grosbeak in the
cage tapped his good wing and said
'tweet, tweet," to this speech.
The meeting then calmed down
enough to consider Mrs. Baxter's
resolution. Miles Greenleaf succeed

taking the life of birds except under

Turkish peace delegation here at 4

might follow Turkeys refusal to
sign the treaty or its failure to give

The reply says the. Turkish gov

abundant evidence that it has been
responsible for directing and organ'
izing savagery against people to
whom it owed protection.
For these reasons the allied pow
ors have resolved to emancipate all
areas inhabited by non-Turkish
majority from Turkish rule"
No Restriction of Trade.
Referring to the provisions Of the
treaty concerning Smyrna, the allied
note points out that they will not
have the effect of restricting the
trade of Anatolia. On the contrary,
it declares, the freedom of the port
is guaranteed. 1t contends that the
treaty leaves Turkey national
state with a large productive area
and that there is nothins II the
treaty ito prevent Turkey from te-
coming = prosperous nation if she
reforms"
As to Constantinople being left as
the capital of Turkey. the allies say
they have grave doubts as to the
wisdom of this step in view OF the
misuse made by the Turks of their
power in the past.
In conclusion the note refers to
the possibility of the allies having TO
drive the Turks from Europe and
fixes a 10 day limit for Turkish ac-
ceptance of the treaty.

0rder Dismissing Number Of
Aged Government Clerks Is
Suspended Until Wilson Can
Review New Law.
HUNDREDS OF PERSONS
AFFECTED BY ACTION
Chief Executive Believed to
Favor More Humanitarian
Interpretation of Statute
Than Taken by Bur|eson.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
| Washington, July 1S-No. super
annuated employees are to be dis
missed from the government service
until President Wilson has had an
opportunity to give further consider
alton to the law under which all en-
ployes who have reached the re-
tirement age are subject to dismissal
on and after Wednesday, July p.
The president today sent word to
the Interior department and Postof-
flee department that all dismissal
cases be held in abeyance until after
the cabinet meeting Tuesday, after
which it is believed the president will
issue an executive order defining the
action to be taken by all government
departments.
The action Of the. president has
served, temporarily at least, to save
from summary dismissal employees
who have reached retirement age,
but are still able and willing to rem
der efficient service.
Burleson Issues Order.
\ Following the receipt of the presi-
dents message. Postmaster General
Burleson issued an order directing
each bureau CHIEF superintendent of
division and heads of postoffices OF
the postal establishment" to pre-
pare and submit to him mot later
than 4:30 p. M. Monday. the 10Th day
of July all applications of super
annuates for continuance in office,
with such recommendations there
on as they may see fit to make"
This modification of the blanket
order" hitherto issued by Mr.. Burle-
son under which every superan-
nuated clerk in the postal service
would automatically be separated
from the service, will affect 200
clerks in the Chicago office, and
hundreds of others throughout the
country.
The president is believed to favor
a more hun1anitarian interpae tatson
of the law than that under whidh the
postmaster general has hitherto
acted. The committee which called
at the White House this. morning to
present resolutions Of protest
against the drastic application of the
law alike to the fit and unfit EN-
p1oyes. was informed by Secretary
Tumulty that the president had al
ready taken the necessary steps to
forestall summary dismissals.
Wilson in Sympathy.
While President Wilson has not
stated his position on the application
of the law, he is known to be in full
sympathy with the report made re.
Gently by Secretary John Payne OF
the Interior department, which held
that each individual case of an en-
ploye wishing to be retained after
having passed the retirement age
should be decided on its merits, with
the good of the service as the para
mount object sought. The report
was submitted to the secretary by
a special committee of executives OF
the Interiof department. .
Any ruling that men and women
must be retired when they reached
the age of o5 or 20 years, according
to their classification, would meet
with the unqualified disapproval OF
President Wilson, and no orders
from department heads or subordi-
mates to that effect will stand un-
til the matter has been threshed out
before the cabinet.
