Birds viii Repay Attention.

1t has been suggested that one rea-
son for substituting the modern fence
for the old was that It permitted the
cultivation Of a much greater area. But
the added area has not responded with
a proportionate increase in yield OF
crops, and the experts think that the
destruction of the birds has more thar
nullifed II. II is well known hat birds
are great destroyers of insect enemies
of crops. Therefore, the reason for
failure to obtain full value for the In
crease In area Is clear.
The answer is not to restore the old
worm fence, but to give n little more
attention to the birds in other ways.
1t Is suggested that the farm wood lot
be protected, that bird houses be con.
structed here and there and that
shrubs he planted or AT least new
growth encouraged where slnshing has
gone too far. There Is such n thing,

HAVING made their losing fight
IL against the Pacific four-power
pact. the o~bstreperous minority in the
senate ceased from troubling last
week, and fell into line-all but SEN
ator France of Maryland. The treaty
on Limitation of navies, chief work
OF the Washington conference, after
an inconsequential debate. was rati-
fed on Wednesday by u vote of IA to
/. Mr.. France defended his lonely
negative vote by contendlng that the
United States should continue build
Ing the largest navy in the world un-
I'll all other nations had shown their
willingness to abolish var totally. OF
the other irreconcilables, Borah ex-
planned that he favored the treaty
because 1t was a step toward the goal
at which he had been aiming for many
years. namely. complete disarmament,
and that he believed this agreement
was as much as the International con-
ference was able to accomplish. John
son of California did not disguise his
dislike for the pact, especially Its Pa
cldc Notifications clause. but he voted
for ratification On the assurance of
the navy general board that the United
States would not give up anything that
Is strateglcally Vital. King of Utah,
though accepting the treaty. thought
1t would have small effect In reduc-
Ing naval expenditures, predicting that
huge sums now would be spent on
aircraft and submarines.
Immediately after the vote OF ratln-
cation the senate took up the treaty
prohibiting the use of poison gas and
restricting the use OF submarines In
warfare and accepted 1t unanimously.
Before casting his vote Senator Wads-
worth OF New York, chairman of the
military affairs committee. expressed
the opinion that In the next war this
treaty would not be worth the paper
1t was written on.

MO LESS than the navy men, the
~ army men are exercised over the
tendency toward what they believe to
be false and dangerous economy
shown by many members Of congress.
The house passed an army %appropria-
ton bill which limits the army to 49,
600 enlisted men and 10000 officers.
General Pershing, chief of staff, and
General Hartford, deputy chief, assert
ed such a reduction would Introduce
an unwarranted element of danger in
our plan of national defense and that
an army of 10000 men and 1900
officers is absolutely essential to the
nations needs at this time. At first
the bill carried a provision limiting
the Presidents right to determine the
size of garrisons in the Hawaiian is
lands and the Panama Canal Zone.
This was eliminated when Anthony of
Kansas said he had the promise of
the War department to reduce those
garrisons. but Secretary Weeks indlg-
nantly declared that he not only had
made no such promise but had no in
tention of making the reductions.
