FIERCE FIGHT in THE AIR
BIackbirds Victorious in Combat With
Sparrows for the Possession
of Nesting Places.

A flock of 900 blackbirds, which for
part of Harlem just above Morning
side Heights, arrived just at sundown
the other evening in a vacant lot to
the east of the subway station at
One Hundred and Twent; ninth street
and Broadway. With tremendous
hubbub, as if matters of vast import
ance were in the air, they settled into
the trees, whence, presently, small
committee flew forth and headed
straight for the recesses beneath the
elevated platform, which is fifty feet
above the street In this shelter are
the winter nests of about $50 spar
rows.
The committee was received coldly
and as it's members dipped tantaliz-
ingly down to the level of the tracks
the sparrows came forth and drove
them off. 1t was declaration of war.
Over from the lot came all the black
birds chattering angrily, and over the
tracks and around and about the sta
ton there was a battle in the air.
1t was bitter fight and noisy
one and it lasted all of ten minutes.
The uproar halted the homegoing Har-
lemites on the platform and brought
forth from the saloons below crowd
of gaping men who cheered from the
sidewalks and laid small wagers on
the outcome.
At the end of tep minutes the SPAR
rows returned into the darkness, leav.
ling behind them six of their number
dead, while from the station roof the
blackbirds twittered and chirped their
! song of victory.

register the orders of finance minis
ters. This is effected through the
government representatives who al
ways attend congresses. Formerly
the representatives had the duty OF
watching and reporting. Now they
aspire to lead the congresses. They
decide what is to be and what is not
to be said, and they practically dictate
all price agreements. The law gives
the government representatives no
power to do this. But the ironmasters
depend for three-fourths of their Gus
tom upon state railroad and state ship
building orders and they are helpless
to resist. M. Zakrewski says that
state control has already gone SO far
that the state might as well purchase
the ironworks outright.
In regard to private land, a similar
policy is being pursued. Land is
potential economic rival of state
finance; and, therefore, land must be
brought into subsection. M. Krivos-

NICHOLAS, GEAR OF ALL RUSSIA,
PLANS A GIGANTIC MONEY TRUST
State the Richest Europe Although People Are the Poorest
Nation Owns the Railroads and Teegraphs and One
Sixth of All the Land-Russian State Bank Has
Very Large Bank Reserve.

The Russian State bank has now a
bigger gold reserve than that of the
Banque de France; and much bigger
reserve than the reserve of the Bank
of England and the German Reichs-
bank put together. In April, 1913,
her gold reserve was $750,000,00O;
whereas the French figure was $685.
100000, the German $193,000,000 and
the English $151 100000. The gold
reserves of other state banks have
stood still or gone back of late; the
Russian reserve alone has rapidly In,
creased. Eight years ago a stir was
made when Premier Kokovtseff, then
finance minister, allowed a newspa-
per man to see his glittering hoard of
$400,O00,O00. That such a big sum
existed skeptics had refused to be-
lieve. Today this sum is nearly
doubled. This gold reserve has the
function of backing Russia's issue OF
credit notes. But the reserve is sufi-
cient for 81 per cent more notes than
have been issued against it. Witte de-
clares that if there is great war Rus
sla will have recourse to forced eX-
change; and thus will be able to use
at least two-thirds of the gold hoard.
Russia aims at getting as much as
possible of the national substance into
state hands. What cannot be ac-
quired in this way is to be controlled.
The st. Petersburg stock exchange
has of late been put entirely under the
government thumb. The germ of this
policy dates from the days of Finance
Minister Vyschnegradski and his sue
cessor, Witte, who said: This view
is indorsed by Premier Kokovtsef,

MADE HIS COMPANIONS GASP
mined to Prove He Had Not
Lost His Appetite.

Three men entered the dining-room
of the hotel, and with difficulty sank
weakly into the chairs at table.
Whenever there was a noise behind
them, they fiinched and trembled.
They were nervous. One of them
tried to drum on the table with
knife, and a spasmodic motion of his
muscles sent it sailing through the
air. To the most casual observer, it
must have been evident that they had
been drinking too much the night be-
fore. Also, it was evident that they
were uncertain about whether they
ventured no remarks to the waiter
standing behind them.
Finally the third man, fellow of
great build, gave an order which
could eat any breakfast.
That is, two of them were uncertain.
They were so uncertain that they
gazed at the menu in despair, and
aroused the undying admiration of the
other two.
