GERMANS PLAN To SEPARATE

This Point Stands Out in the News Des-

VIII Probably Checkmate Japan and

LEDGER SPECIAL.
London, Aug. 10th.

In spite of censorship two impo rtant facts stand out in the news:
The first is that the tactical she me of the German war office is
plain. That scheme is the juncture of the armies of the Mosene and the
Mouse to pierce the center and sep arate the French from the English
and BelgaHs. The secopd point is that Germany, in spite of reports of
reverses has gained ground until now the main body of its combined
army is across the River Meuse.

THE BIRDS
A Simple Matter, If Proper Induce
ments Are Offered.

Philadelphia North American:
When May arrives and nature awak-
ems every nature lover luxuriantly
expands into the sunshine and begins
to look for the flowers and birds that
go so far toward making the world
such a bright place for u short
abode.
Those who are anxious to attract
the birds to their homes have only to
learn that this is a very simple mat
ter.
Several different kinds of birds
will be glad TO make their home with
us If the proper inducements are of
fered. Martins, wrens chickadees
and bluebirds are certain to come to
us, and If they find a suitable abode
in the form of a birdhouse they will
remain and raise their brood, and not
only reward us by their cheerful
presence and happy song. but will rid
the flowers, fruit and vegetable gar
den of many thousands of insects
that are Injurious to the things we
wish to grow.
Homes for birds may be made
from various sized boxes, divided in
to rooms, ranging from five inches
square to double that space.
If larger and elaborate
houses are desired for the purple
martin, which often comes in large
colonies, there may be built in a
number of attractive styles. Rooms
should be not less than seven inches
square. Larger are better. Openings
for the martin should be two and one
half inches square. or. If round, that
much in diameter.
Houses for ~bluebirds may be built
similar &c those for martins, but
need not be so large and openings
need not be quite as wide.
Houses for wrens and chickadees
can be provided with smaller rooms,
and the openings should not be more
than one inch in diameter, and are
best round. The wren loves a box
that is not more than five inches
wide. but about a foot in height, with
openings near the top.
Houses for most birds are best
placed OF poles, and it is we'll TO
| place tin on the pole beneath the
| boxes TO prevent cats from reaching
the birds. Some of the small chicka-
dees or wren houses may be among
the branches of a tree or on the side
of a building.
Birds finding such quarters pro-
yided will return each season.
A few short bits of wrapping Irvine
placed here and there on limbs of
! trees or on fences or arbors will do
much toward attracting birds to a
home. The strings are used In nest
building.
All birds soon appreciate protec-
ton and they reward us for our eff
forts in their behalf.

HUMAN ~QUADRUPED
Lad Uses Arms I'm Walking-Can
Travel Pace With Others.

Birmingham, Ala, June IA
case of a possible reversion 20 type
is that of Thomas Armstrong a L.
year-old boy of Bangor, Ala. Upon
the death of his father he was thrown
on the community and sem to the
associated charities in Birmingham,
then turned owe to the juvenile
court. which in turn transferred him
to a leading physician. The medical
profession here is using the boy as an
anthropological study.
Young Armstrong has never learn
ed to walk erect, but goes on "all
fours." He is physically strong and
can run as fast as the average boy.
His body and limbs are normally
formed and developed. His arms are
slightly longer than normal, presum-
ably as a result of use in all-four
walking. 1t has always seemed nat
ural for him TO walk that way.
When he was a little child his
mother died. His father married
again, but did not live long, and the
boy had to shift for himself. From
habit and usage he can place his
hands on the ground with his body In
a horizontal position. He says his
back and shoulders never get tired
from long walks.
The boys mental development has
been slow. but the physician who has
him in charge believes that in sis
months he will be able to walk like
