Wild Animals Being Saved
A concreted world-wide movement
undertaken to protect wild animals Is
proving to be successful. Great Brit
ain started the movement with bird
sanctuaries, and America followed.
The first wild life- sanctuary in the
United States was Yellowstone Na
tional park. In Africa the movement
hits taken popular hold. Many types
of wild life have become practically
extinct, as for instance, the seacow,
biggest of amphibians, and the bus
tard, not to forget the elephant ifl
certain countries.

No Mere “Stop-Gap” Can Overcome
French Financial Difficulties
From the New York Times
The gravity of the financial and political crisis in France de
mands more than a makeshift ministry. Politicians are much the
same in all countries, and it would not do for the United States to
assume that it has a better article than France. We have plenty of
men in public life who would be as ready as the leaders of French
political parties to fish in troubled waters. But, putting aside all
odious comparisons of that sort, it is plain that the great need of
France at the present moment is to present to her own citizens
and to the world a government that is not only strong but stable.
It will have to face at once the most exacting tasks. There
must be payment or refunding of large debts soon falling due. The
budget must be balanced and kept balanced. Assurance will have
to be given that the problems of French currency will be kept in
skilled and firm hands. All these duties require a cabinet with a
tenure of office not at the mercy of fluctuating and turbulent
groups in the chamber. There is just as much need of a patriotic
“sacred union” of all political parties in France today as there was
when the war made the life of the nation seem to hang by a thread.
With reason the word oftenest on the lips of Frenchmen since
the war has been the word “security.”- But it should now be sup
plemented by the word “stability.” French governments under
the republic have been notoriously short-lived. The last two have
had periods of power longer than the average. But it would be
unfortunate if there now were to be the return of a rapid succes
sion of French premiers, passing like embarrassed phantoms. If
France needs some guarantee of international peace, she also needs
political tranquility at home, and this she herself can make certain
if only the strife of parties is shamed and silenced in the presence
of the great national exigencj'.
If the naming of this or that man to form a ministry means
only the temporary gratification of individual ambition, the out
side world will feel little reassurance. There was a Frenchman
once who wished his epitaph to be, “Let my name be abominated,
provided France is free.” Something of that spirit may yet mani
fest itself in the French politicians of today, in whose hands for
the time being is the fate of France.

“Exact Language."
From the New York World.
Because newspapers in Paris were
disturbed by certain remarks of Mr.
Cooiidge's, and because nobody knew,
sctually, what the president had
said, the French ambassador in
Washington is now cabling to Paris
‘the exact language used * • * at
the White House, Friday, after the
resignation of Premier Herriot.” So
the Associated Press reports.
There exists, of course, a record of
“the exact language used at the White
House” after all these newspaper con
ferences in which the president ex
presses his views on current issues.
Regular air service were operated
in Sweden for the first time during 1924.
AH of these were on a summer sched
ule, and included services between Mal
ma and Hamburg, Stockholm and Hel
singfors, and Malmo and Copenhagen.
Although regular schedules were fol
lowed on all three lines, most of the
traftlc was on th eCopenhagen route,
over which 246 trips were made and 2.
52S passengers carried. The fact that
on January 1, 1925, there were 293 pri
vate individuals in Sweden in pos
session of licenses for operation of
airplanes is an indication of the In
terest that has been aroused in civilian
air services.
There are no true wolves in Africa
although large Jackals In Abyssinia and
the Sudan are sometimes known as

This record consists of a stenographic
report of the questions put to the
president by the correspondents and
the president’s replies. But no part
of this record Is ever given to the
public, f the president is to stake
the administration to a stand on some
such important issue as the French
debt, a disarmament conference or
revision in the tariff, it is assumed a
more statesmanlike performance for
the reporters, instead of quoting the
president from the record and over
his own name, to Invent a mysterious
personage called "a White House
spokesman” or “a high administrative
circle” and attribute to that dignitary
what they can remember of the
president's remarks.
Mr. Robert Choate, Washington cor
respondent of so good an administra
tion paper as the Boston Herald, re
ports that with "the most powerful
publicity outlet ever known to any
man” the president’s conference sys
tem is "misleading, productive of
little information and wholly inade
quate.” In Mr. Choate’s opinion, an
opinion with which other correspond
ents agree, “the no-quotations rule
places all the responsibility on the
writers and none on the president. If
the Interpretation does not please him
he can repudiate it, as was done in
the Jusserand case when the presi
dent said one thing to the newspaper
men one day and quite the reverse in
an official statement the next, after
Ambassador Jusserand had squealed

Caring for Ant Eggs
Is New Occupation
Attention has lately been called to
two unsuspected, if not brand new,
trades—that of the professional dinner
getter-up, who arranges testimonial
banquets at so much n plate, and that
of the seif-avowed principal of a bal
lot-fixing school, with JO pupils, in an
office building. Even less known Is
the occupation of caring for ant eggs,
the New York Times says.
/ It would take a great many ants to
keep one man busy all the time, yet,
by and large, enough work is given to
this task in New York to represent a
considerable total of tabor hours in a
year. The nut egg needs to be cod
dled, though not in the culinary sense.
It has a reputation for temperament,
deserved or not. It comes by the mil
lion in paper packages. Japanese and
Ciiinese stores carry tills commodity.
“It is very good,” says the Japanese,
“for soft-bill birds.” But who has any
soft-bill birds in New York? The Jap
anese shrugs and bobs. “It is very
good also,” he says, “for goldfish.
But not too much.”
