matter for hunters to slay him.
"The bald eagle" an ornithologist
said, although a bird of prey, is not
as destructive as has been represented.
Smaller birds such rs. the hawk do
far more damage. 1t feeds on fish

The bald eagle is useful since It de-
stroys %jackrabbits, ground squirrels
and other destructive animals.
1T is no so much because of his
alleged destructiveness, but because of
a desire to obtain the bounty that he
is being hunted and slain so widely in
Alaska. He is our largest bird of
prey, and in many respects the most
striking and most splendid. Many
false tales have been told and circ,I-
lated about him. He has been pic
tured as %ferocious when, in truth, he
has no natural enemies. He might be
tempted to carry off a very young
lamb, but tales sof his CARRYING off

and unjust.

At frequent Intervals the opposing

Hitchcock in which he reaSserted his

the needs of humanity instead of "spe-

by it would be a breach of good faith.
If the United States cannot enter the
league with full responsibility, he said,
it should retire gracefully from the
great concert of powers. Article 10,

Conditions in Turkey have been going
from bad to worse until the supreme
council of the allies has been driven
not only to adopt drastic measures but
ever to plan for the temporary tax
ing over of certain of the Turkish
government activities, including the
war department. If the Turks behave
themselves better and a the mas
sacring of Armenians this control will
be only temporary. Urged especially
by Premier Venizelos of Greece, the
council is said to have ordered the
occupation of important points in Ash
attic and European Turkey by allied
military and naval forces in the be-
lief that strong showing of military
force would bring the Turks around
to their senses. If this is not suffi-
Client. it may be necessary to start
operations against Mustapha Kennel
Pasha, the Turkish commander in
Asiatic Turkey, and it is believed
these would be carried out by the
Greek army of 10000 men now in the
Smyrna region.

Arabs are besieging Aintab, Urfa, Dia-

What was heralded as a great drive
against Poland by the Russian bOlshe-
Wiki was turned into a decisive defeat
of the latter when the Poles took two
important railway functions and a
large number of prisoners, including
an entire division staff. Immediately
thereafter Tchitcherin, soviet foreign
minister, sent another peace note to
Warsaw, asking when and where the
peace delegates of all the border na>
lions might meet with the representa-
tives of the bolsheviki. He asked Po-
land to refrain from further hostilities
and explained that the soviet opera
tions on the Lithuanian and White
Ruthenian fronts, which the Poles had
broken up, were inspired by fear that
the Poles intended to start a drive
against the Ukraine. President Pilsu0-
skis position in Poland was greatly
strengthened by the victory of his
troops and the attitude of the Mos
COW government.
The Roumanians and the bolsheviki
are in a fair way to make peace, ne
gotiations now being under way at
Dorna-Watra in Bukowina. AS a pre-
liminary the R~oumanians demand that
the soviet troops be withdrawn from
the frontier and that commercial rela-
tions be resumed. 1t now appears like
ly that Roumania will succeed in her
great purpose of %annexing, or recov-
ering, Bessarabia.

The supreme council of the allies.
taking note of the distressing state of
the world in general, has issued a
memorandum on economic conditions
that is welcomed by all serious mind
ed persons. For the preservation of
civilization it urges, as might be ex-
pected, the early and complete res
toration of peace conditions, with nor
NAL economic relations. reduction Of
armies to a peace footing and limita-
ton of ornaments; the encourage
ment of larger and better output by
workers everywhere; the suppression
of extravaganza, and defation of
credit and currency; and assistance
for countries that are now u%nproduc-
tive for lack of raw materials. With
out any suggestion of mitigating the
treaty terms it is stated that Germany
and especially Austria must be en-
ablsd to obtain fo2dstqffs and raw
materials in order that they may re
cover enough to pay the indemnity
demanded of them, and it is declared
that the total of the PREPARATION must
be fixed at the earliest possible time.
There is even a suggestion that Ger
many should be allowed to raise an
International loan to meet her imme-
diate needs. In this proposed line of
conduct toward the vanquished ma
tons the supreme council is facing the
facts with business calculation, not
| with sentimental feelings.
