OF WAR ON
FEATHERED TRIBE.
Crows Bold Around Cannon. But Shy
OF Riaes-caranies Sing
AZ Firing.

Berlin. Aug. e. Correspondence
OF the Associated Press.l - Expert
ments and observations made In be-
tween times at the various battle
fronts by bird lovers have revealed
some striking characteristics OF the
feathered broods that have not been
frightened from their accustomed
haunts by the war. Quite as unusual
as any other conclusion Is the show
ing that crows. from generations OF
experience. fear rifle fire but not
artillery fire. while song birds, never
having known the fear OF the hunter
and his rife. break into song when
the guns are fired. but are alarmed
at the tremendous explosions OF
shells.
Even the trained artillery horses
continue to show more fright at shell
explosions than the birds. The crows.
for instance. do not even trouble to
take to fight when a shell lands near
them but does not explode and only
rise for an instant when II does 20
OF. But when the rifles begin to pop
they put as much distance as posi-.
Bile between themselves and the
trenches.
Many OF the soldiers have canaries
In their trenches. and have conduct.
ed numerous experiments with them.
Usually the discharge OF rifle Is
signal for them to sing. and even the
sound of breaking glass will bring the
same result. The same Is true to a
great extent OF the wild song birds
that abound. especially along the
French front.
The birds. OF course, display a
sharpness OF vision that even q
powerful telescope will not equal. and
many times the warning Of an attack
has come first OF all from the crows
and other birds. rising In alarm at
some movement that the sentries for
all their watchfulness had not de.
tected.

Steel helmets have now been in

army to prove that they are a useful
protection to infantrymen. They have
saved a large number OF men In the
front trenches from being either
wounded or killed by shrapnel fire
and have effectively warded OF the

The soldiers are enthusiastic about
their use. and the delay anticipated

results. This proved to be one OF the
most valuable discussions OF the
three days meeting.
That an index to the civilization OF
Nation Is to be found largely In is
highways. was the statement OF Presl.
dent Blzzell OF the college. who stress.
ed the Importance OF good roads from
a moral and social standpoint.
What we need Is not so much the
connected systems of roads for the
pleasure and delight OF the ausomo.
bilist. as the construction OF good
roads leading into our remote country
districts said he
THE construction Of roads into the
remote districts means the destruc.
ton Of the three months OF isolation
on the part OF the farm people during
rains and bad weather. which is do.
ing more to destroy country life than
all other things combined"
He expressed his belief in the prIn.
ciple OF State and Federal aid for
roads and decried the evident lack
Of interest in legislation In behalf Of
improved highways In conclusion.
DR.. Bizzell urged the two associations

conducted at the expense of the en-
ployer, the answer is that in all of
the other civilized nations of the
world the system has prevailed for
many years, and everywhere, so far as
we can learn 1t has resulted auto
in the cost of compensation
being passed along in the price of the
product TO the community as a whole,
where ii seems to us the burden prop
erly belongs The purchaser of any
article has always paid the cost of
keeping up the machinery which went
to produce 1t. There is no reason,
either in theory or in practice, why
the same principle should not apply to
the workman who is injured in the
course OF his employment. Twenty
three States in this country have al
ready adopted the system of work
mems compensation. 1t is inevitable
in the other States. 1t has become
to explain to the satisfac-
ton of the workmen who are left
why such a system can
not be adopted in these few remaining
States, as it has been
adopted through the balance of the
civilized world. Pennsylvania has
been in the forefront of those States
which have guarded the safety of
their workmen through factory and
