Reports from Washington that Car
rama contemplates al attack on Juarez
with a view to cutting Villas COM
munication with the American border
are given as another reason why villa
might suddenly wish to strengthen his
border garrison.
A purpose on the part of Villa to
scatter his army into small bands over
western Chihuahua might also dictate
his moving "A part Of his army to

BIRDS PICK OFF ROOF
OF MONTCLAIR HOUSE
Then Wise Starlings Disap-
pear When Permit to Shoot
Them Is Issued.

MoNrcLATR. n. j.. Sept. l9.-Some
psychologist may be able to explain why
the starlings that gathered by thou
sands In Plymouth street here totally
disappeared when the State Game and
Fish Commission granted J. w. Allen, a
resident of the ~thoroughfare, permission
to shoot them.
MIR. Allen, who is president OF the
Montclair Club. and W. Wright Myers,
1870 Alexander avenue. applied last
spring through the Montclair Town
Council for permission to take steps to
drive the birds away from their respec-
tive homes, After several months the
commission gave this permission, but
c~ouriously enough, on the day Mr.. Allen
was informed that he could act against
the birds they disappeared.
Before hat the starllngs congregated
each evening in the trees in front of his
home, making for conditions that became
almost intolerable, In the case of Mr..
Myers. who is a member of the Audubon
Society, the receipt of the permit has not
been so e~ficacious. The starlings still
make his grounds their habitat, but he
feels that II Is useless to proceed against
them at his season OF the year.. Mr..
Myers was of the opinion thai II he
could have had the permit in the spring
before the birds began nesting he NIGH
have been able TO Danish the unwelcome
visitors.
Before next spring, Mr.. Myers said to-
day. he hopes some concerted action will
