GREAT VARIETY OF BIRD PETS
Lover of Feathered Creatures May
Pay for Them Almost Any Price
That His Fancy Dictates.

A recent international bird show
has provided some astonishing facts
and figures regarding the value Of
song birds, remarks London Tit-Bits.
There are nearly 100 classes of ca
naries. That they can be Norwich or
Lancashire, border or Yorkshire va
riegated, lizard, unfighted, clear, cross.
bred, crested, self or foul conveys
very little to the average mind, but
leaves one m%arveling at the variety OF
chirping little creatures whose feath-
ers are every conceivable shade Of
yellow. One marvels also at the va
riety Of birds that could be kept as
pets. Finches, linnets, redpoles, tom
tits, robins, wrens. stonechats, bah
blers, redstarts and long-tailed, short
tailed and crested varieties of all of
them in every size from the minute
humming bird to the plump scarlet
cockatoo, all vie for the popularity
which up to the present has been the
monopoly of the canary. And these
little birds are all quite cheap. A few
shillings will buy most of them, but
on the other hand, $4,000 would be
asked for a gorgeous crimson bird Of
paradise, or $4,000 for the c~anary-bul
finch White Rose, the most expensive
song bird in the world.

"Children's Day" was the idea of
the superintendent OF the new hos
pital. Old methods had been aban-
doned and new ones ruled. Doctor
Oakley believed that in admitting the
little folks OF the town to the hospital
grounds once a month, in charge OF
the matron, he would cheer up his
convalescents, inspire the young peo-
pie with a sense of pity, and bring con-
tributions to the hospital.
Eli Baynes seemed a terribly old
person to Dorothy and Ned, though,
as a matter Of fact, he was only forty.
But he had returned from the West
crippled with rheumatism, contracted
by working in the silver mines, and
after three months at the hospital he
was only just beginning to regain his
health.
He sat in his wheeled chair, and his
eyes widened with pleasure as he
saw his little friends approaching.
Tell us another story, Uncle Eli"
pleaded Dorothy, climbing upon his
knee.

The highway will be open to any
motor car, and automobile men
claim that any good driver will be
able to make the trip.
Undoubtedly the Pixies Peak high
way takes its place as the greatest
and highest in the world. Stelvio
pass, the highest carriage road in Eu-
rope. in the Alps between Italy and
Austria, has never been opened to the
automobile.
While there were many difficulties
the construction of this highway was
not a hard task for the modern engi-
neer, For part of the way from Cas-
cade it follows the general line OF the
old carriage road built In 1883.
Scenery Is u%nexceIled.
Every mile of the highway to the
summit Is crowded with scenic inter-
est. From Colorado Springs the
route goes through beautiful Manitou
and then into Ute pass, a 30.mile cleft
in the mountain down which the Ute
Indians used to come to Manitou
to drink of the mineral waters there.
Amid a profusion of wild flowers,
through groves of pines and aspens,
the highway proceeds. Often, as the
motor climbs, it will be enveloped in
a f1eecy cloud. Higher and higher the
Ger climbs, but the grade is so easy
that one does not realize that he is al

Craze Questions To
Be Settled Before

Did the acceptance of British convoy at the
beginning of the voyage from Liverpool oper-
ate to waive the rights of non-combatants on
board? ill.,
By proceeding to the assistance of the torpedoed
steamer Dunsley, was the rule broken which for
bids ship giving assistance to another that has
been torpedoed? e..
Official reports last night answered the first
question completely. 1t is shown that the Arabic
received not the least warning and made no at
tempt to escape after discovering the presence of
The submarine. On the contrary, the Arabic was
hastening to the rescue of crew in distress
1t is conceded now that the conveying of the
liner through ST. Georges Channel to the o. en- sea
did not render her liable to attack, once her con-
voy had left her and that none of the rights of the
noncombatants aboard had been abridged by the
presence of destroyers at the beginning of the
voyage
Only one point seems to be left to be cleared up.
This is whether. when the Arabic left her course
and swerved towards the steamer Dunsley which
appeared to be sinking, Captain Finch so directed
his ship as to make it appear that he was endeavor-
ing to ram the submarine, or whether his change
of course justified the commander of the submarine
into disinterpretng his approach as hostile and
made for the purpose of attack ru tiT
An uncon6rmed report was in circulation in New

WIASHINGToN, August 81 - An ominous
w silence has fallen over oficialdom here and
no comments concerning the probable action of
the United States to be obtained pending the
final word of the President. The decision whether
the sinking of the Arabic and the killing of num-
Der of American citizens is is not deliberately
unfriendly act on the part of Germany rests with
the President. Until he speaks, the lips of the
administration officials are sealed.
The tension that has held the Capital since the
first word came of the torpedoing of the Arabic
noticeably increased yesterday, when the consular
Offices at Queenstown forwarded by cable the af
hdavits of American survivors, testifying to the
fact that the attack upon the passenger ship was
made without the least attempt to warn the pas
sengers and crew of their danger or give them an
opportunity to prepare for the destruction Of the
vessel. sEsE..
The consular messages also stated that there
exists little grounds for further hope that all
the Americans among the passengers escaped.
The state department has been furnished with
ull list Of the names of the Americans who had
aiken passage the Arabic, and these are being
hecked off as the names of survivors are secured

quoted the expression used by Sir Ed,
ward Grey, the British foreign secre-
tary, to Prince Lichnowsky, the Ger.
man ambassador in London, on the for,
nal declaration of war.
At that time said the imperial chan.
cellor. the British foreign secretary OK,
planned that Great britain had declared
war to enable England "tc render Ger.
many as great, if not greater, services
v hen peace was being negotiated than
would be the case were Great Britain
to remain neutral in the struggle"
The chancellor said that the inter.
probation he put upon these words OF
Sir Edward Grey is that Great Britain
desired the friendship of a weakened
Germany as n counter to the friction
victory for the Allies would be expected
to develop between Great Britain and
Russia.
