Campaign In All l-ands. Headed by the National Association f Fish and Game Commissioners,' the North American Fish and Game Pro tective association and the American Ornithologists union, as well as the National Association of Audubon So cieties, this campaign of protest against the rapid destruction of the feathered resources of every land win be carried from the United States to all civilized nations. Testimony from the foremost agri cultural and hygienic scientists, show ing the great part played by the Insect eaters In checking crop pests and by the sea birds in averting pestilence, is now being prepared as proof of the Immediate need of their international protection. Until the authorities of every nation Join to check the illegal raids of the scoots for the mfllmery markets who are scouring the earth each- year, the ornithologists declare, no hope can be held out against quick and . final ex tinction of the most useful bird species that inhabit every land. Japanese Raid an Issue. Details of the raid of Japanese poachers upon the bird reserves of the United States about Hawaii a short time ago have been received at New York and will be laid before the com ing international conference with the growing demand for reciprocal bird protection among the nations. Ten tons of the feathers of valuable Pacific-American species, with the skins and wings of more than 259,000 birds, have been found in the booty that the revenue cutter Thetis brought back with twenty-five subjects of Ja pan who had been landed on American soil to put in a year at killing and mutilating the tame flocks on these remote Islands. WhQe the value of these bloody trophies to the whole sale millinery market is estimated at $100,000, the bird life that the Jap anese destroyed in taking them Is cal culated to be worth to the people of the United States at least $1,000,000. "As Ions as billions of the moat valu able birds of the earth may be de stroyed in some countries and shipped to the millinery centers in others It .win be Impossible to prevent their ul timate extinction," .said WHJtam Dutcher, president of the National As sociation of Audubon Societies, at Its headquarters In New York city. Tor Instance, the bird of paradise, one of the most striking and beautiful of nature's creations. Is now on the -verge of- extinction. The sale of Its plumage cannot be checked until the nations co-operate to this end. "This trade in feathers is the chief cause of the world's alarming loss of its bird resources,, which ara essential to the health and prosperity of the human race everywhere. Migratory birds- know no geographical lines, and we do not believe their existence should be menaced any longer by the lack of the uniform protective laws we propose to advocate to the world powers.

O o o o o o o o o o o o o o -cooooooooooooooooooooooooo For several weeks the Rev. J. Wes ley Hill has been flaying the Socialists before his congregations at the Met ropolitan temple, in New York city, which is given over to the work of the Methodist Social union, and now his flock have come to the conclusion that the flaying ought to be extended from a civic to a national basis. As a con sequence they have passed a resolu tion authorizing their spiritual leader to call a national antl-sodallstlc con vention. The Rev. Mr. Hill says he is glad they did this and that henceforth the work will engage his whole attention. He hope to bring together in his proposed convention representatives of universities, seminaries, Sunday schools, trades unions, organised reli gion and sociologists. To Be Fought Aggroesfvefy. Sitting in his study the other day, the Rev. Mr. Hill discussed the consid erations that move htm to. devote his next few years to leading a vigorous assault upon sorts nam. "We are going after socialism and are going after It aggressively. There are some very foolish ministers of the gospel In this country. They hare the hardihood to speak of 'Christian so cialism,' and some of them even bare adopted it as such. I want them to know and they must learn It that socialism attacks the very fundamen tal principles of Christian religion. As well talk of Christian free love or Christian atheism as of Christian so cialism. Rather class socialism where it of right belongs with anarchism, with Mermonism and with atheism." It was suggested to the prime mover in the proposed crusade that some folks were having rather a consider able problem of fixing upon an- exact definition of sedaUraa. What Socisitom Really fa. TQ tell yeu exactly what It is." be answered. SV3 an irreceacnabte ene my of the existing- civic am social or der. Its program Is eonflscattoo that la, the municipalization or nationaliza tion of all capital. It wants to break abruptly with history. It denies the fundamental troths of evolution. It sees in revolution Its chief and. In fact, its only practicable weapon. I don't want to lead a pussy footed at tack on such an Institution, for Its very spirit Is misanthropic and pessi mistic. It goes to the poor and unfortu nate, the unadapted and discontented. and strives to make them still more discontented than they are. "The socialistic movement Is perme ated with discontent and class hatred. The leaders present a disheartening picture of life to the toller, striving to poison his mind against the employer by picturing him as a vampire feeding upon the lifeblood of his helpless vic tims. As It is there are Socialist Sun day schools being organized where the spirit of revolution is instilled into tbe minds of children. In this movement there Is a subtle attack on our schools. 'And then take the propaganda fun damentally. It wants to place a sort of paternalism above the beads of all men, making them subservient to it As if man wasn't here before his In stitutions, he creating them and not they creating him, they overlook this fundamental fact of God's law of cre ation, and they attack the primary ele ment of progress the preservation of Individual initiative. "And the Christian ministers may well be aroused at this time, for so cialism is preaching everywhere that the churches are paid servants of cap italism. In fact, the destruction of the churches is one of the prime objects of socialism. "The hope of the proposed confer ence Is that it shall be able to unfurl a danger signal against fostering this propaganda, saturated as it is in the philosophy of confiscation. We shall organize branches in every state and shall center our work at first In ar extensive press and publicity bureau.' No Socialism For America. TheRev. Mr. Hill's attention was called to the fact that in Europe Sam uel Gompers was styled a Socialisl during his visit there last summer, while here he is known as a trades un lonist. "And the resson for that Is very clear," he suggested. "Socialism Is not indigenous to tbe soil of America. It was not born to fight our institutions, but those in dark, tyrannical coun tries where the freedom of man can be attained in no other way. On our city's east side, for Instance, the Im migrants are often recruited from Rus sia, where to be a Socialist means to oppose the tyrannical czar. An Amer ican Socialist, meeting these new Immi grants, comes well indorsed. He finds It easy to weave about them his sub tle web of just such opposition to our democratic government and our flag as the crusader with the same name, but a different purpose, was able to weave about them In their native land." - SIMON & LANDAUER DAVENPORT, IOWA Good taste, good style, and that crisp note of distinction that tHe better dressers of today expect and demand.

A monograph on "The Last Days of Charles II." gives some extraordinary details of those last days: "The reyal patient bad fourteen doc tors In attendance.

LEPERS PETITION BOARD TO KEEP THEIR DOCTOR Tell Pathetic Story of Weariness and Lionelinem While Confined in Isolation Hospital. San Francisco, April 1. Eight lep ers of the colony of 18 confined in the Isolation hospital here have joined In a petition to the San Francisco board of supervisors asking that steps be taken to have the board of health re scind its action in removing Dr. John Atcberty from attendance upon them. The petition recites a pathetic story of weariness and loneliness that is sus tained only by the hope that they may be benefited and ultimately cured of their dread malady. "Ever since our imprisonment, which has been from three months to eight years," the appeal states, "we have had no systematic treatment until Dr. Atch erty gave us his attention. The other physicians have plainly shown their disinclination to come in contact with us. The results are that we have been left here to rot and die like animals." . WRENCH CRUSHES SKULL Farmer Hurls Tool at Passing Auto mobl lists. Roswell, N. M-. April 1.- Sylvan us Johnson, a wealthy citizen of Roswell, is dead from the effects of a blow on the head from a monkey wrench hurl ed at Johnson's chauffeur a week ago by an unknown farmer. While speeding near Roswell, John son's automobile frightened a team of mules being driven by a young farmer and the latter threw his wrench at the chauffeur. The wrench struck John son, who sank back to bis seat uncon. scious and with a crashed skull. The farmer escaped. Nervous Prostration "I suffered so with Nervou: . Prostration that I thought there was no use trying to get wen. A friend recommended Dr. Miles Nervine, and although skeptical at first, I soon found myself re covering, and am to-day well. MRS. D. I. JONES, 5800 Broadway, Cleveland, O. Much sickness is of nervous origin. It's the nerves that make the heart force the blood through the veins, the lungs take in oxygen, tbe stomach di gest food, the liver secrete bile and the kidneys fitter the blood. If any of these organs are weak, it is the fault of the nerves through which they, get their strength. Dr. Miles' Nervine is a specific for the nerves. It soothes the irritation and assists m the generation of nerve force. Therefore you can hardly miss it if you take Dr. Miles' Nervine when sick. Get a bottle from your druggist.

It was ApeUes who visited the studio of Protogenes in Rome and, finding the artist absent, drew a thin colored line In such a way that the Roman knew that only his Grecian brother could have done It. But; not to be outdone, Protogenes drew a thinner line upon that of Apvlles, and when this was seen Apelles drew a third line upon that of Prott'genes.
