''The general Indifference to the fate
of the great bird of splendid tradi-
ton is due, beyond doubt, to the COM
mon lack of information regarding its
threatened extinction. The situation
calls for the widest publicity. The
sheer vandalism of the destruction of
the bird should be checked, and check
ed at once. The crusade for its pro-
lection should enlist the enthusiasm
bird students throughout the coun-
try, of our scientific and patriotic So
cieties, and of the public press. 1t is
only by the prompt passage of fed
eral law protecting the American
eagle that our national bird can be
saved from total extinction"
Let me renew the adiuration of
Capt H. W. Shoemaker of Pennsyl-
yania to do what you can TO stop the
slaughter of American eagles along
| the Alaska coast, a. writer says in the
Saturday Evening Post. BY reason of
the government bounty offer 800
eagles were killed in eighteen months.
This is an absolutely unnecessary
| waste of life.
Eagles have killed some of the
young foxes on one or two fox pre-
serves on Alaska islands, though they
have never destroyed the wild foxes
| of Alaska in all the centuries they
have lived together.
Eagles do kill few salmon and eat
few that are found dead, but in no
wise do they imperil any salmon fish
cry. They may kill rabbits now and
again, but in no sense have they been
destroyers of wild game. For the
most part they hang along the coast
and live on fish life. A dead whale
lasts them a long while.
There is no reason on earth why
these bald eagles-of that species
which we have been proud to call the
bird of freedom, of that species which
we have put on our coinage and our
seal-should be destroyed under a
bounty offered by any branch of the
American government.
1t was Capt. Shoemaker, by the way,
| who so far as | know was the first
man to put into print the belief that
| the best protection of game did not
consist in any officious war upon the
enemies of the game on the part of
man himself. Capt Shoemaker's con-
| illusions were that under the old laws
| of nature the strong specimens sur
| vived and that the best development
| of any species was in the midst of its
natural enemies. His theory, bolster
| ed by observation, is entirely against
| the modern proposition that you can
save quail or grouse by killing crows
or hawks. or that you can save trout
by killing pelicans.
1t is but feeble defense that wild
! game can erect out of its increasing
knowledge of man and his deadliness.
The mallard learns to dive in three
| feet of water instead of six inches and
SO uses more open water, but he is not
safe. The coyey of quail learns to fly
to the densest swamp on the covey
] rise, but it is not safe. The sheep go
to the highest mountains, the elk to
| the farthest Businesses of the noun
tains, but they are not safe Trans
| pOrtation and invention on the part
of man have outrun all the resources
/ of our wild game. SO it comes simply
to question of whether we want 1t
OF don't want it.

Honor Among
Thieves Also

You have heard the expression,
1-honor among thieves"
/ have heard it many times, but I

fration of the phrase as the one given
me the other. day by Lieut.. Com
Snander Thomas Mott Osborne. warden
of The Portsmouth naval prison.

African Bird Sweet Singer

The Cape canary is the only native
bird of Africa that is well known for
his sweet and continuous song He is
to be found even in the Orange River
colony, which is otherwise devoid of
song birds.

Then take it on faith
from those who have that there is no
more impressive living thing than an
eagle in the air.
Well. there are not many American
eagles left. Civilization has CROWDED
out what it hasn't killed off. Put a
gun in the hands of the ordinary man
and give him chance at an eagle ana
90 times out of hundred the or
binary man will shoot. Why? Ap-
parently just for the sake OF killing.
That's what a guns for and that
the way the ordinary man is made
The writer expects 60 have it brought
UP to his credit on the Judgment day
that he once had such a chance anu
didn't shoot.
Most of the American eagles that
are left are in Alaska. And now IN
Alaska the ordinary men are killing
off the American eagle for the sake
of q fifty-cent bounty. And the Unit
ed States government which governs
the Territory of Alaska, is in effect
paving this bounty.
Naturally, there is protest against
this most surprising state of things.
J. I'll. Davis, secretary of the publicity
committee of the American Museum
of Natural History, New York city,
sends out a protest in which he says :
much has been written in depreca-
tion of the permitted determination of
the wild pigeon. Formerly found in
almost incredible numbers in some
parts of the United States, the species
was utterly wiped out by unrestricted
shooting and the destruction of its
nests And so rapid was the process
of its extinction that the bird had
vanished before the public realized its
need of protection.
"A similar fate now imminently
threatens the American or bald eagle
our national emblem and one of the
most beautiful and magnificent of our
native birds. And by a curious irony,
the destruction is being accomplished
at public expense, as provided in the
bounty law passed by the territorial
legislature of Alaska on April go
1917
"The bald eagle has never been an
abundant species. Estimates of its
numbers have generally been greatly
exaggerated. 1t is only on the basis
of the occupied nests that its real
Aumbers-or rather it's real scarcity
can be estimated. Computations based
lon observations Of the birds them
selves are OBVIOUSLY unreliable. Fer
conspicuous by its size and habits
and by It's preference for coast regions
and large rivers over remote forests
and mountains, it is very apt to at
tract considerable attention, and the
same individuals are doubtless seen
again and again. This will be real
