See also Kingbird on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
King′bird, one of the flycatchers of North America, is about eight and one half inches long, with the upper parts grayish black, the tip of the tail and under parts white. It also has a partly concealed orange-red patch on the crown. It catches insects while on the wing and is often called bee-martin and accused of killing many honey-bees. The examination of the contents of the stomach of a large number of these birds shows, however, that the mischief done in that direction has been greatly overestimated. They devour an immense number of injurious insects and relatively few honey-bees. They feed on beetles and canker-worms, as well as winged insects, and eat some berries. They are distributed generally in this country as far west as the Rockies, are common summer residents, migrate in May and September. They are usually seen in garden or orchard. Their nest is compactly built, made of grasses, weed-stalks and moss, lined with plant-down and other soft material. The three to five eggs are white marked with chocolate. The male shows great bravery in defending the eggs and nestlings from the attacks of the crow and other birds.

​ Kent, James, American jurist, was born in New York on July 31, 1763. He graduated at Yale in 1781, and was admitted to the bar in 1787. After serving two terms in the legislature, he became professor of law in Columbia College from 1794 to 1798, when he was appointed a justice of the supreme court of New York. In 1804 he became chief-justice, and in 1814 chancellor of the state. In 1823 he retired from the bench, but continued the practice of his profession for many years. Kent's principal publication was his famous Commentaries in American Law, a monumental work which has not yet been superseded. He died at New York on Dec. 12, 1847.

​ Ken′ton, Simon, an American pioneer, who greatly distinguished himself by courage and sagacity in the wars with the Indians. Kenton was born in Fauquier County, Va., April 3, 1755. At an early age he had a quarrel with another young man on account of a rivalry in love, and, thinking that he had killed his adversary, he fled to Kentucky and became a companion of Daniel Boone. He took part in nearly all the conflicts with the Indians until Wayne's expedition in 1793 restored peace and tranquility to the western frontier. He also took some part in the War of 1812. As Kentucky filled with new settlers, a great portion of his lands, to which he had failed to secure a perfect title, were taken from him, and for many years he lived in penury and obscurity. At length, however, a pension of $240 a year was secured for him from Congress, and his closing years were made more comfortable. He died in Logan County, Ohio, in 1836, not far from the spot where he had once narrowly escaped being put to death by the Indians.

SPAIN INTERVENES TO AID BELGIUM
Her Ambassador in Berlin Files a Strong Protest Against Deportations.
BRITISH TELL OF PLEDGE
MADRID, Nov. 21, (via Paris.)—A semi-official note made public here today announces that the Spanish Ambassador in Berlin has handed the German Government a strong protest against the deportation in Belgium. The protest came from the Spanish diplomatic representative at Brussels. The Ambassador, who is charged with the protection of Belgian interests, asked the Government to relinquish its measures for deportations and to release those who had been the victims of it.
The note says that pending the outcome of the protest the Spanish Government has instructed its Ambassador to do his utmost to obtain better treatment for the deported men.
LONDON, Nov. 21.—In the House of Commons today Lord Robert Cecil, War Trade Minister, confirmed statements, made on the floor, that 25,000 Belgian men had been deported from Belgium to work in German coal, iron, and steel industries in the Rhine Province and Westphalia. He said that after the surrender of Antwerp the Military Governor gave Cardinal Mercier a solemn written assurance that no Belgians should be deported, and that assurance was confirmed by Field Marshal von der Goltz, now dead, who at that time was Governor General of Belgium.
Lord Robert added that the German officer under whose orders the first deportations from Flanders were carried out was formerly Governor of Brussels, and “was directly responsible for the execution of Nurse Cavell.”
The British Government, Lord Robert added, would support every Belgian protest, but the only way to solve the question was “to prosecute the war with all our powers and make it a cardinal point to secure the liberation of Belgian territory and Belgian citizens from this oppression.”
The Common Council of Antwerp has refused to deliver lists of the unemployed to the Germans, according to a Reuter's Amsterdam dispatch quoting the Telegraaf. As a consequence, the dispatch says, the Germans are now calling men of all classes to the police stations for examination as to the identity of their papers. These men are said to have the choice of a German labor contract of three or six months or immediate deportation to Germany. The Telegraaf adds that an official letter has been sent to all Burgomasters demanding lists of unemployed under penalty of deporting citizens of all classes to Germany.
The Belgian Refugees' Committee at Flushing has petitioned Queen Wilhelmina to intercede with Germany in an endeavor to stop the deportations of Belgians, says a dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company from Amsterdam.
AMSTERDAM, Monday, Nov. 20, (via London, Nov. 21.)—According to the frontier correspondent of the Telegraaf, a number of Belgians who had been deported to Germany have returned to Belgium, having paid a ransom to the Germans. It appears, the correspondent says, that the Germans first offered a ransom for 1,000 marks, and, none offering to pay this amount, reduced it to 500 marks, which also many refused to pay.

Tanks Now Pictured In London.
LONDON, Wednesday, Nov. 22.—Notwithstanding David Lloyd George’s announcement in the House of Commons yesterday, in reply to a question, that the publication of photographs of British “tanks” in this country had been prohibited at the request of those responsible for the production and use of the machines. The Daily Mirror this morning prints three photographs of “tanks” in action. These are the first photographs of these machines published in a British newspaper. Mr. Lloyd George told his questioner that those published in America were “absolutely no resemblance to the actual machines.”

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 21, (via London.)—Advices received here today from Vienna say that Count Ludwig Szechenyi, who before the war was Austro-Hungarian Diplomatic Agent and Consul General at Cairo, Egypt, has been appointed Minister of the Dual Monarchy at Sofia, Bulgaria. Count Szechenyi succeeds Count Tarnowski von Tarnow, who has been appointed Austro-Hungarian Ambassador to the United States.

# The New York Times/1916/11/22/Uphold Wilson, Taft Says

UPHOLD WILSON, TAFT SAYS.
Ex-President Taft lectured on “The Church, Civilization, and War” in the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, last night, delivered under the auspices of the Brooklyn Institute of the Arts and Sciences. The audience filled the hall. Mr. Taft explained the purposes of the League to Enforce Peace, of which he is the head.
“The question is,” said Mr. Taft, “whether the United States is going to lead in a movement to make war less probable after this present terrible one in Europe has ended. Can we have a restoration of friendly feeling between the belligerent nations after this war is over? Some say no. I do not believe that to be the case. We had our own fratricidal war and today all the wounds are healed, and wounds in a family are harder to heal than are those where the combatants are of different nations or families.”
The President, Mr. Taft said, must have the people of the country behind him if this country is to wield influence in the peace conference which would end the war.
# The New York Times/1916/11/22/Storm Saved Vessel Attacked by U-Boat

STORM SAVED VESSEL ATTACKED BY U-BOAT
According to Captain William Anderson and the officers of the British freighter Siamese Prince, which arrived yesterday from Brest in ballast, the vessel had a narrow escape on Nov. 4 from being sunk by a German submarine, which fired three shots at her. The steamship was saved by a heavy rain squall and the high seas which prevented the submarine’s getting the range before she was lost to view.
In addition to her own crew of forty-two men the Siamese Prince had on board fifty-four American hostlers who had gone over on the ship from New York to Brest to take care of a cargo of horses consigned to the French Government.
Captain Anderson said that the submarine’s attack was made at 7 o’clock on the morning of Nov. 4, when his ship was about 200 miles off the French coast. There was a strong gale blowing with a heavy sea, and the first intimation he had of the presence of a submarine was three shots coming from the port side about a mile away. Two shells passed over the port quarter of the steamship and another shot fell into the sea just under the stern. The Siamese Prince was stopped immediately, but on account of the heavy rainstorm and heaving seas nothing could be seen of the submarine. After waiting for about fifteen minutes the Captain ordered the engines full speed ahead, and proceeded on a zigzag course for New York.
Captain Anderson and his officers could not say whether their vessel was pursued by the submarine or not.
# The Prince (Ricci)/Chapter 22

CHAPTER XXII
OF THE SECRETARIES OP PRINCES
The choice of a prince's ministers is a matter of no little importance; they are either good or not according to the prudence of the prince. The first impression that one gets of a ruler and of his brains is from seeing the men that he has about him. When they are competent and faithful one can always consider him wise, as he has been able to recognise their ability and keep them faithful. But when they are the reverse, one can always form an unfavourable opinion of him, because the first mistake that he makes is in making this choice. There was nobody who knew Messer Antonio da Venafro as the minister of Pandolfo Petrucci, Prince of Siena, who did not consider Pandolfo to be a very prudent man, having him for his minister. There are three different kinds of brains, the one understands things unassisted, the other understands things when shown by others, the third understands neither alone nor with the explanations of others. The first kind is most excellent, the second also excellent, but the third useless. It is therefore evident that if Pandolfo was not of the first kind, he was at any rate of the second. For every time that one has the judgment to know the good and evil that any one does or says, even if he has no invention, yet he recognises the bad and good works ​or his minister and corrects the one and supports the other; and the minister cannot hope to deceive him and therefore remains good. For a prince to be able to know a minister there is this method which never fails. When you see the minister think more of himself than of you, and in all his actions seek his own profit, such a man will never be a good minister, and you can never rely on him; for whoever has in hand the state of another must never think of himself but of the prince, and not call to mind anything but what relates to him. And, on the other hand, the prince, in order to retain his fidelity ought to think of his minister, honouring and enriching him, doing him kindnesses, and conferring on him honours and giving him responsible tasks, so that the great honours and riches bestowed on him cause him not to desire other honours and riches, and the tasks he has to fulfil make him fearful of changes, knowing that he could not execute them without the prince. When princes and their ministers stand in this relation to each other, they can rely the one upon the other; when it is otherwise, the end is always injurious either for one or the other of them.
# The Prince (Ricci)/Chapter 24

CHAPTER XXIV
WHY THE PRINCES OF ITALY HAVE LOST THEIR STATES
The before-mentioned things, if prudently observed, make a new prince seem ancient, and render him at once more secure and firmer in the state than if he had been established there of old. For a new prince is much more observed in his actions than a hereditary one, and when these are recognised as virtuous, he gains men more and they are more bound to him than if he were of the ancient blood. For men are much more taken by present than by past things, and when they find themselves well off in the present, they enjoy it and seek nothing more; on the contrary, they will do all they can to defend him, so long as the prince is not in other things wanting to himself. And thus he will have the double glory of having founded a new realm and adorned it and fortified it with good laws, good arms, good friends and good examples; as he will have double shame who is born a prince and through want of prudence has lost it.
And if one considers those rulers who have lost their position in Italy in our days, such as the King of Naples, the Duke of Milan and others, one will find in them first a common defect as to their arms, for the reasons discussed at length, then we ​observe that some of them either had the people hostile to them, or that if the people were friendly they were not able to make sure of the nobility, for without these defects, states are not lost that have enough strength to be able to keep an army in the field. Philip of Macedon, not the father of Alexander the Great, but the one who was conquered by Titus Quinteus, did not possess a great state compared to the greatness of Rome and Greece which assailed him, but being a military man and one who knew how to divert the people and make sure of the great, he was able to sustain the war against them for many years; and if at length he lost his power over several cities, he was still able to keep his kingdom. Therefore, those of our princes who had held their possessions for many years must not accuse fortune for having lost them, but rather their own negligence; for having never in quiet times considered that things might change (as it is a common fault of men not to reckon on storms, in fair weather) when adverse times came, they only thought of fleeing from them, instead of defending themselves; and hoped that the people, enraged by the insolence of the conquerors, would recall them. This measure, when others are wanting, is good; but it is very bad to have neglected the other remedies for that one, for nobody would desire to fall because he believed that he would then find some one to pick him up. This may or may not take place, and if it does, it is not with safety to you, as that defence is known to be cowardly and not to be depended on; and only those defences are good, certain and durable, which depend only on yourself and your own ability
# The Prince (Ricci)/Chapter 2

CHAPTER II
OF HEREDITARY MONARCHIES
I Will not here speak of republics, having already treated of them fully in another place. I will deal only with monarchies, and will show how the various kinds described above can be governed and maintained. In the first place, in hereditary states accustomed to the reigning family the difficulty of maintaining them is far less than in new monarchies; for it is sufficient not to exceed the ancestral usages, and to accommodate one's self to accidental circumstances; in this way such a prince, if of ordinary ability, will always be able to maintain his position, unless some very exceptional and excessive force deprives him of it; and even if he be thus deprived of it, on the slightest misfortune happening to the new occupier, he will be able to regain it.
We have in Italy the example of the Duke of Ferrara, who was able to withstand the assaults of the Venetians in the year '84, and of Pope Julius in the year '10, for no other reason than because of the antiquity of his family in that dominion. In as much as the legitimate prince has less cause and less necessity to give offence, it is only natural that he should be more loved; and, if no extraordinary vices make him hated, it is only reasonable for his subjects to be naturally attached to him, the memories and causes of innovations being forgotten in the long period over which his rule has existed; whereas one change always leaves the way prepared for the introduction of another.

# The Professor's Teddy Bear

First published in Weird Tales in March 1948.
“Sleep," said the monster. It spoke with its ear, with little lips writhing deep within the folds of flesh, because its mouth was full of blood.
The monster made a happy sound and pressed its mouth hard against Jeremy's neck. Jeremy closed his eyes. The door opened. "Jeremy, darling," said Mummy. She had a tired, soft face and smiling eyes. "I heard you laugh."
It was nap-time the next day, and for the hundredth time Mummy had kissed him and said, "You're so good about your nap, Jeremy!" Well, he was. He always went straight up to bed at nap-time, as he did at bedtime. Mummy didn't know why, of course. Perhaps Jeremy did not know. Fuzzy knew.
The strange blood flowed as Jeremy relaxed. He looked up to the ceiling, found the hairline crack that he always stared at while he dreamed real, and began to talk.
He sat in the hall, watching the students tumbling up the steep aisles, wondering at the strange compulsion he had to look at that girl, Miss--Miss--what was it?
Abruptly he pounded the table. "I will not let this go on for another instant without finding out about it. Miss Patchell, you are becoming afraid of me, and you are wrong."
She looked at him. He was a small man, brilliant, tired, getting old swiftly. She put a hand on his arm. "I wish I could," she said warmly. "I do wish I could."
Jeremy blinked. He had been staring at the fine crack in the ceiling for so long that his eyes hurt.
"A toy," said the professor. "But more than a toy. It could talk, I think. If I could only remember more clearly!"
Jeremy sat up and flung the monster away. "It isn't funny!" he screamed. "It isn't funny, it isn't, it isn't, it isn't!"
