PHEASANTS BRING
news Of warfare
These Birds Make Big Stir
When Even the Guns
Are Fired.
Correspondence of the Associated
Press1

PreSS.)
LONDON, Feb. 16.-Folks on the
East Coast have no need Of look.outs
to warn them Of a battle in the North
Sea. Even when they cannot hear the
gun firing they have auguries of the
battle in the p%heasants, in which the
country thereabout abounds.
Hours before the people OF London
were aware of 1t, many East Coast
residents knew there had been an en-.
gagement on the morning Of Sunday,
January "a. Almost Immediately fir:
Ing had begun the p%heasants made a
great stir and fuss. and those old resi-.
dents able to read the signs realized
that the sensitive birds were aware OF
distant cannonading. Similar demon.
strations by the birds had been made
on previous occasions.
The Rev. w. NJ. L. Evans, writing
from Saxby Rectory, Lincolnshire, on
the East Coast, says: at may be Of
interest to Admiral Sir David Beatty
to know that a large portion OF the
population of this remote parish, in
spite OF the censor, knew all about his
doings on Sunday morning at an early
hour.
Our worthy clerk met me with the
announcement, There be rare goings
on In the North Sea the morn
"'Why!' / inquired.
1.-THE ~pheasants is all over the
place with their FUSS" was the reply.
Many villagers" adds the rector,
confirm his statement as to the ex-
cited condition Of the birds"
