WHEN CROWS MOBILIZE.
They Usually Mass Themselves For
Attack Upon an Enemy.


The crows are masters of mobiliza
tion. Such notifications have fire..
quently been investigated. Usually
they prove to be for the attack on some
enemy.
Thoreau speaks of the crows burst
ing up above the woods where the,
We're perching like the black fragments
of Il powder mill just exploded. When
they are gathered for war purp ,seS
their cries will lead you to the spot
where they are lighting, and these
same bursts of black fragments above
the trees. usually following an especial
uproar of cawing, will direct you TO the
center of the battle.
Walter King Stone, the illustrator
and Charles Livingston Bull have told
me of mobilization they once wit
messed, when the crows gathered for
hours and the two observers were able
to penetrate the woods to the exact
spot beneath the feathered explosions
There they found great horned owl
flying low in the trees with Il dead
crow in his talons. Whether this was
the original cause Of the battle or
whether he had grabbed the crow In
one of the descents of the birds about
his head they, of course. could not say
He was evidently struggling to find n
dead tree where he could take refuge
He was saved probably by the comm.
of night.
Crows have even been known to at
tack foxes, rs Winslow Homer's paint
ing is the most famous witness.
A farmer near my home who has
observed crows for many years and
has the reputation of knowing more
about them than any one else in the
neighborhood tells me that almost in
variably in his experience the cause
of large mobilization is either big
owl or a hawk. The little screech owls
are also attacked, but by lesser num-
bers. He has also personally seen the
crows attack fox while it was cross.

CHARM OF ICELAND.
A Land Of Wild Grandeur and Mighty
and Beautiful Waterfalls.


In spite of its poverty Iceland is one
of the most beautiful countries of the
world. The scenery combines a wild
grandeur. with ingradating charm In
an infinite variety Of characteristic
landscapes.
The mountain formations are males
tic and powerful in outline, showing
traces Of the volcanic forces which are
still active in some places. The large
cupola shaped mountains, which rise
like oriental temples from the ocean or
the level plains. their tops covered
with perpetual snow, are very impress
sive.
To this must be added a wealth OF
mighty and beautiful waterfalls, great
lakes. steaming springs and craters
still warm The view Is usually wide
and open and the play of colors fas
cinating. especially in the fair. mild
summer nights. The air is clear.
healthy and invigorating, streaming
alternately from the wide sea and
from the snow covered mountains.
This natural beauty attracts many
tourists to the country, and large ocean
steamers. filed with travellers, visit II
several times each summer. Owing to
the lack Of transportation facilities
most of them must be content with
seeing the coasts When it gets rail
roads, modern hotels and other con
veniences Iceland will no doubt be
come a popular tourist country.
Iceland has many possibilities for a
fair future. - American Scandinavian

Hot weather has a decidedly weak

result have appetite only for light,
tasty foods, like salads and other cold
connections, which do not digest read
lily and increase the natural tendency

At this season women should main

CREWS OF SUBMARINES
MAY FACE MURDER TRIAL
British Admiralty Announces 1t VIII
Segregate Those Captured I'm
der Special Restrictions.
APPLIES TO MEN OF THE Us
Policy to BE Adopted Is in Answer
to Demand OF Admiral Lord
Charles Observation-Disclosures Ex-
tended to Other Captured Officers.

LONDON. March S.-The British
admiralty announces that 1t Is not JUS
tihed in extending honors to captured
crews OF German submarine boats,
owing to their methods and that 1t Is
intended TO segregate them under spe-
cial restrictions pending their possible
conviction at the end of the war
The admiralty states that this ruling
applies to the twenty-nine officers and
men of German submarine US, sunk
recently Off Dover
The policy to be adopted toward Ger
man submarine crews is in answer to
the demand or Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford, retired and others that such
men be tried for murder, and the ad-
miralty statement indicates that the
government has this in mind The
statement refers to the generous treat
ment accorded German officers and men
saved, numbering upward OF 1000. and
then says with reference to tho US:
This vessel had been operating in
the Strait Of Dover and In the English
Channel. and there Is n strong prob
ability that she had been guilty OF
attacking and sinking unarmed NOR
chantmen and firing torpedoes at ships
carrying noncombatant neutrals and
women. In particular. the steamer
Oriole Is missing. and there is grave
reason to fear that she has been sunk
with all hands--twenty.
There Is. OF course. great difficulty
in bringing home particular crimes to
any individual German submarine. and
II may be that the evidence necessary
to establish conviction will not be OBJ
tained until after the conclusion of
peace. Meantime. persons against
whom such charges are pending must
be subject TO n special restriction. and
cannot be accorded the distinction OF
their rank or be allowed to mingle
with other prisoners OF war"
a report from Rear Admiral the Hon.
Horace Hood on the sinking Of the
Us, made public by the admiralty,
shows that the submarine finally was
destroyed by the torpedo boat de-
stroyers Gurkha and Maori Nine
other destroyers took part In the hunt.
