Geographic Society of
Conservation.

Abundant wild life exists in heavily
populated England because of careful
conservation and law enforcement.
Capt. c. w. Knight told members OF
the National Geographic Society last
night in an illustrated lecture in
Constitution Hall.
On the stage with Capt knight,
well-known British naturalist and
authority on falconry, appeared
"James Steyn," an African-born eagle
trained by him.
English wild life can be observed
from the windows of trains on the
main railroads, Capt. knight said,
and on large estates within a half
hour of London there are game
keepers employed to keep down the
poachers, owls, foxes and weasels. The
protected game consists largely of
pheasants, rabbits and wild pigeons
The lecturer showed motion pictures
OF game preserves in the vicinity of
Eyneford about 80 miles from Lon
don. In this neighborhood is the
home OF Col and Mrs. Charles A.
Lindbergh. who, Capt. Knight re-
marked, are disturbed now only by an
excess number of rabbits.
The eagle sat quietly on a perch
on the platform until the lecturer
called him to his hand. On previous
trips to Washington, Capt Knight
has been accompanied by Mr.. Ram

bassador to Spain, was instructed to
forward the protest to the Spanish
Fascist administration after the cabi-
net met in its second emergency ses-
sion in two days at No. 10 Downing
street.
The cabinet approved the represen-
tations, which by their nature would
constitute factual recognition Of the
Burgos government.
CThe same recognition in fact" Of
Spanish insurgents was given by the
French in protesting against reported
landing Of German allies in Spanish
Morocco.)
Britain reserves the fright to COM

insurgent pilots who dropped bombs
on the embassy, the cabinet told Sir
Henry to inform Fascist Gen. Fran
cisco Franco.

The admiralty, meanwhile, began
preparations to send British naval
strength into action because of dou-
BILE threat of war around Spain and
reported German invasion Of Spanish
Morocco.
Officers and men were ordered to
report Immediately any change in the
name and address Of their nearest rela-
tive.
(Such an order is a usual prelimi-
nary before ordering men into action
to facilitate notification of friends and
relatives in the event of casualties)
The British home fleet and Mediter-

mightiest men Of war, are under orders
to converge on Spanish waters for
