An Elephants Appetite.

Since the elephants digestive func-
tons are very rapid it requires a large
amount of fodder daily-about 600
pounds in mos. cases. In its wild state
the elephant feeds heartily, but waste
fully. 1t is careful in selecting the
few forest trees that it likes for their
bark or foliage, but it will tear down
branches and leave half Of them I'M
touched. 1t will strip off the bark
from other trees and throw away 4
large portion. AS it is a nocturnal ami
NAL, it selects its trees by the senses
of touch and smell Its sense of smell
is said to be so delicate that wild ele-
plant can wind an enemy at a distance
of thousand yards. and the nerves
OF its trunk are so sensitive that the
smallest substance can be discovered
and picked up by its tiny proboscis.-

II has received a black-eye from
Montpelier itself in an attempt by
the Montpelier Journal to argue that
the referendum on the question was
merely over the time when the pro.
vision for the new building should
take effect. A referendum in Yer
mont has to be worded a little differ
emily than in other states owing to
constitutional limitations but the vot-
ers understood it as being a fair
question whether or not to erect
new building. Any attempt to dis
tort the meaning into something else
will have tendency to overcome
the good will of the public toward
the plan and to defeat the object
aimed at by those who think the new
building should be erected.

To Replace Sullivan,

James NJ. Sullivan United States

ton obtained by The Times today The
diplomat is now on his way back to the
United states. His friends say that
his health is bad. Persons close In the

that he will not go back to the Central
American post.
In short, Mr. Sullivan. who is close
personal friend Of the Secretary oil
State, is persona non grata in Santo

populace against the American minis

threats of personal violence. Sullivan

The Presidents statement is looked
on in effect as a challenge to the oppo-.
sition in the Senate to the confirmation
of Jones and Warburg. At the same
time, those who read II took Ii as some
thing more, that is. as another sign on
the part of the White House that 1t IS
business. and to allay the feeling
against the President in some parts OF
the business world.
The President. as viewed in Senate
circles, is going, to make the hardest
fight he knows how to get Jones co.i-
firmed, and. IL Warburg reconsiders, to
get him confirmed Administra lion
Democratic Senators will be lined UP as
far as possible. The struggle Is expected
to be animated and protracted. 1t Is
likely to be even more bitter than the
fight over confirmation of winthrop
Daniels as member of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Stiffens Opposition
Instead Of lessening the opposition to
the two men, the Presidents statement
is likely to intensity It. Many Senators
feel they cannot support Mr.. Jones in
view of his defense of the International
Harvester Company, which Is now un-
der prosecution by the Government
Moreover. the unwillingness of Mr..
Warburg to appear and suopmlt 10
questions about his record as member
Of Kuhn. Loeb & Co.. and. undoubtedly.
about financial transactions Of that COM
pany, has tended to make opposition to
him more determined.

the engineer department of the District
TODAY In commenting on the Dill nitro

for the construction Of bridge across
the Potomac river to replace the Aque-
Having forwarded 70 Congress fav-
orable report on the bill. the Comms-
sioners are awaiting with interest the
report Of the army engineers who are
now considering the proposition. In
their report the Commissioner stated
that conditions at the northern termi-
nus at Thirty-sixth and NJ streets were
decidedly Objectionable as there Is not
sufficient accommodation for vehicular
and pedestrian traffic and for the term
ini Of the Capital Traction Company and
the Washington and Old Dominion
The location of the northern terminus
of the bridge at Thirty-fourth and n
streets, the Commissioners declared,
would permit construction OF suitable
approaches TO the city, giving ample
access to both railway and other traffic
from the bridge.
II was further suggested by District
engineer officials today, that the loca-
ton of the terminus at this point would
permit of a through car service from
Virginia to the Union Station and do
away with the transfer station at Thtr-
ty-sixth and VI streets. The difficulty
in obtaining q through service under
present conditions, II was said, would
be in getting rid of the congestion at
Thirty-sixth and NJ streets.
Authority Is given the Public Utilities
Commission to permit Of the reciprocal
use of the tracks. The Commissioners
say they believe the present structure
to be entirely Inadequate and conditions
are rapidly becoming worse due to the
rapid increase in the volume in vehicu-
lar and street railway traffic
