AN ASTONISHING INTERVIEW.
TO PROTECT BIRDS,
NEW WORLD CONVENTION.
GENEVA, June 26th.
A new international convention for bird protection is to be launch- ed as soon as possible, according to a decision just taken here by the International Committee for Bird Protection.
The new convention will replace the Paris convention of 1009 on the subject but which is now entire- ly inadequate to keep many of the most important types of migratory birds from being extinguished.
If possible the League of Nationa will be induced to take over the
General Huguet in the first eigh- teen months of the war was head of the French Military Mission at tached to the British Army in France. He has recent published not interesting war book de- voted whelly to the subject of the British Military Intervention in 1914." In this book he has given task of convoking the international a record of his experiences and conference for launching the con observations which is not only ex-vention but if that is found impos- tremely interesting in itself but of sible the task will then be entrusted great importance for history. to the International Agricultural
Institute at Rome.
The work was written six years ago, and has not subsequently been
modified, or corrected, whence per haps ite bitter tone. The author- was a warm admirer of Lord Kit chener and a severe critic of Lord French.

General Huguet makes no of the enormous mistakes with which the French staff opened the
War:
The German mass of manœuvre consisted of 27 army corps and cavalry divisions with 13 brig ades of landwehr, whereas our calculations placed its maximum strength at 12 or 15 corps.
Unexpected Decisions,
Members of the committee, of
which Dr. T. Gilbers Pearson of New York: is president are con vinced, however, that the League will take over the task owing to great economic importance of thei
bird question to fly all bers of the League.
Among the provisions which it is hoped to include in the convention is one establishing bird reserves and sanctuaries is all countries.
