Fauna and Flora
 Fauna-The Tuba section is the home of snakes, rodents and lizards, mostly of the bright tinted type. The snakes are mostly rattlers Several different species) and bull snakes. The rodents are field mice, field rats, prairie dogs and rabbits. The com- mon rabbits and prairie dogs burrow, and the rats, kangaroo rat, pouched rat, drumming mouse and pack rat, make their nests about scattered clumps of brush and in rock crevices. The rats and prairie dogs are too nu- merous, but both the jack and com- mon rabbits are scarce, having been practically all killed off with some disease a few years ago. The coy- ote is too plentiful and is a pest to the shepherds. Gray wolves are oc- casionally seen. Both red and gray foxes are now and then seen cross ing some ridge in the distance. In the years ago the antelope and mountain sheep and deer roamed the region, but are now extinct or driven from their haunts. Some of the other ami mals found in the region occasionally are, skunk, white weasel Gives on prairie dogs, mice, etc.), striped cat, badger, porcupine Gives on roots, barks of trees and pinyon nuts), lynx, cougar Every rare), blue fox Every rare), bear Every rare), pine squirrel (also very rare), chipmonk, gopher and mole Gin the Tuba -Moenkopi meadows).

 Each of these hens in one year laid more than 300 eggs, the best produc- ing 330 and two others 323.
 All these hens are of the strain that several years ago developed Lady McDuff, the first hen to have laid more than 300 eggs year in trap nest. Her record was 303.

A New American Bank in China.

Pekin dispatches tell of the success
full formation Of new Chinese-Amer
lean banking institution and OF the ia
vor with which the project has beer
received at the capital of the Orienta
republic Doubtless the enterprise re
ferred to is that known as the Ameri
can Industrial bank OF China. Halt Of
the Slo,00o.00 capitalization is taken
bv American financial interests and
half by Chinese, on the Chinese side
it being understood to be a government
enterprise. The American Industrial
bank of China, according to its pro
moters, will have its main office in this
city and branches at Vancouver, Seat
tie. Wash, San Francisco and Mont
real, as well as Pekin and the princi-
pal business centers of China.
Except as it is suggested by its
name, the particular place which this
industrial bank is expected to fill is not
stated. 1t is explained, however, that
the hope of the promoters is that it
will be the means of materially advsnc-
ing the commerce and industry of
China.
At Washington there is talk TO the
effect that the launching of this new
enterprise, especially the loan report
ed to have been made to the Chinese
government in connection with il, will
bring about complications in connec-
ton with the much talked of "eonsor-
tium" to control loans to China.
Whether this talk is inspired by the
state department is not known. The
situation, however, would seem to be
in the nature of bridge to be crossed
only when it is reached. Any legiti-
mate American enterprise designed to
advance the commerce and industry of
China and to foster good relations be-
tween the two countries will doubtless
have the support of the state depart
ment if any such support is needed
which it should not need.-New York

Holland and Its Unbidden Guest.

Hollands refusal to comply with the
demand of the supreme council for the
surrender Of William III was not unex-
pected, and it may be that the allies
when they finally decided to make the
demand were tolerably well assured
that it would be refused. The refusal
should be relief to entente statesmen
who have. now had time to realize what
a blunder it would be TO make mar
tyr of war lord whose own subjects
have turned against him.
Holland in its reply makes the obvi-
Gus point that not being party TO the
treaty of Versailles il is not bound by
it; the allies may be bound to make
the demand. but Holland is not bound
to Weld to it. There is more in this ar
gument than might at first sight ap-
pear; it is quiet reminder that Hol-
land is sovereign state, and that IN
the eyes of the law big states and small
are equal--the war had bred naughty
temper in the great powers, and this
reminder is in effect an assertion of the
rights of small nations concerning
which the allies have been so solicltous.
Upon this foundation of international
law, il is argued that neither the Dutch
constitution nor the traditions of Hol-
land permit acceding to the demand,
and that the honor of the nation for
bids betrayal of the confidence of those
who intrust themselves to Holland and
her free institutions. What arguments
of more specific sort are made is not
stated. On technical grounds Holland
might be justified in refusing on the
ground that the United States, which
by the treaty is to appoint one Of the
FIVE judges for trying William ii, has
not ratified the treaty, but evidently
the Netherlands government is taking
its stand on broad principles rather
than on techniealities.
The most telling part of the note is
that in which the Netherlands govern
ment declares: IF. in the future, there
should be instituted society of ma
tions. an international jurisdiction
competent to Judge of war deeds quail
flied as crime and submitted to its
jurisdiction by statute antedating the
acts committed, il would be fit for Hol-
land to associate herself with the new
regime" In this single sentence with
the utmost courtesy the Dutch govern
ment exposes the glaring defects of the
proposal to have a defeated and exilcd
surrendered for trial by his
enemies by retroactive laws of their
devising In this note Holland shows
herself worthy Of the noble part she
has played in the development OF inter
national law.-Springfield Republican.
