BYRON First Results Formal promulgation of the Kellogg-Briand multilateral treaty for the abandonment of war as an international policy by President Hoover took place today. All of the fifteen original signatory nations had deposited their instruments of ratification along with those of additional nations, and the outlawry of war is now a binding international agreement, The defect in the treaty is forcement, no means of concerted action to compel signatory nations to abide by its terms, But the latter is proving effective for the time being at least, in restraining the Kusso-Chinese conflict in Manchuria, and hence this gesture towards outlawing war has already justified itself. The future strengthened as a degree of President Hoover has declared that the international situation has been "greatly modified" by the treaty and that the present held less threat of war than any period within the last fifty years, and this expenditures in nearly all nations, except Germany, is far greater than in pre-war days. The moral effect of the suspicion and distrust, particularly if the greater powers follow it up by real reduction in armaments. There really seems no need why the United States should spend nearly a billion dollars a year for military purposes or half a billion more than in pre-war years. That America will lead the way is shown by Mr, Hoover s statement : ' -. '''. The American people should understand current expenditure strictly military activities of the army and navy constitute the largest military budget of any nation In the world today and at a time when there Is less real danger of extensive disturbance to peace than at any time in mora man nan a century. To this end Mr. Hoover will appoint a commission from the army to formulate a practical plan for reduction in ex penditures and at the same seek a new international agree ment on naval strength. In this he will have the cooperation of the new British labor government. As he remarks, the present time is "particularly propitious" for moves of this character. War on the Crow At a mass-meeting In Portland of those the Oregonian dubs "naturalists and nature lovers," war was declared against the crow and a resolution adopted urging a city or dinance which "will prohibit any, all and sundry crows from establishing permanent or even temporary residence any where within the corporate limits of the city of Portland. AU which indicates that the crow has more sense than the naturalists who think they can law. The present revival of the stigated by the munition makers to stimulate the selling of guns and cartridges. But the crow is accustomed to this sort of persecution and demonstrated through the centuries his ability to outwit his enemies. In spite of the vigilence of shotgun squads and armed patrols, he still bootlegs his corn and hi-jacks his victims. The farmer mjght have reason to become irritated against the crow for his ravages on newly planted fields, but his presence on the whole is an asset to agriculture, for ' he destroys many injurious pests and takes but trifling toll, But why a city should decree his extermination passes com prehension, for his scavenger tendencies are beneficial. The chief objection voiced against this sagacious grafter of the bird world, is that he occasionally breaks up a robin's nest and feeds on the young. So does the owl, which is even more beneficial as a rodent and bug destroyer. But the robin does more harm to the orchard and berry patch than the crow to the garden and the humble earthworm he preys upon is a necessary soil rejuvenator. In fact, the robin is a great er nuisance than the crow without rendering any return service. And the petted and pampered Chinese pheasant is far greater garden menace. The presence of the crow enhances a picturesque land scape and his raucous call adds to the charm particularly in winter when other birds have deserted us for fair weather climes. Nature has a way of preserving her own balance and utilizes the crow. When man's ruthlessness interferes to disturb this balance, sooner or later he pays the penalty in multiplication of predatory pests- No real lover of nature sanctions war on the crow or any other of the creatures that dd allurement and enchantment to the scenery. The Balkans of Asia Manchuria has been called the Balkans of the Orient, Decause so many great wars have originated therein. It was Japan's desire for Manchuria that brought on the Chino Japarese war which gave her a foot-hold, and it was Russia's effort to annex Manchuria that pecipitated the Russo-Japanese war. Manchuria has also played a leading role in the Chinese civil wars of the past decade. For thousands of years, Manchuria has been a powder box. It was the savage Manchurians that forced the. build ing of the .Great Wall by China to protect her civilization from the ravages of her warlike nomad neighbors. Repeat edly through the centuries, Manchu dynasties have ruled China after conquest It was from Manchuria that the Tartars originally hailed. After migrations to Central Asia their hordes rav ished Europe and Asia at intervals for a thousand years. Under Genghis Khan they conquered China in the east, Per sia and India on the south and Russia on the west, and for centuries the "Golden Hurtle" exacted annual tribute from the Russians as subjocts. Again under Tamerlane their wild tribesman blighted civilization and threatened Europe. At the present time, ninety percent of the population of Manchuria are Chinese immigrants. The country is so rich in resources that both Russia and Japan covet it and the tripartite railroad control is a constant source of friction.

As aa example to the business world at large, the habit of endless coffee drinking has been forbidden In government offices, the working aay or erru servants has lengthened and finally they are to lose many of the holidays they have been enjoying by the unification- of the Julian and Oregorlan calendar. Serbia alone of European states nas retained the Julian calendar. This has handicapped business not only with foreign countries but also with other parts of Jugo-Slavta where the Oregorlan i-inv is used. The effect has been especially marked each year in December andj MuuMj ua again arouna caster In the winter there are two sets of festivities at intervals of thirteen days. Thus there are two St. Nicholas1 day, two Chrlstmases, two New Tears and two sets of saint days of which about ten occur in January.
