BIRDS GO WRONG


London. March 3.-Even the birds
have gone wrong in Europe. Mans
madness has upset their lives and
habits and the very few ornitholo-
gists in England and France who can
stick to their study OF birds in spite
OF the war. are scratching their
heads about It..
The pathways of the birds, as they
fly TO the south in winter and back
again in the spring. have been map
ped out for years in Europe. But
the birds have fcrsaken their old
routes and the birdsmen say II is be-
cause of the war.
Shore lights and even the lights Of
the town, ii seems are guides for the
birds in their long southwark journey
and this year the lights are gone.
The same lights that would direct a
little ~feathered fellow toward sunny
Italy would also direct a huge Yep
pelin toward IN English coast town.
So all the folks of the air. whether
covered with feathers or canvas, are
travelling in the dark this year. The
canvas birds can carry their OWL
lights in a pinch, but the other kind
must get along as best they can,
without lamps. There is no doubt
that the birds found their way to the
south, as usual, but they CROPPED
their way, and it was probably slow
travelling. Their return to the north,
when spring comes. will be as diff
cult.
The bird men have proved, beyond
a doubt. that the birds are disturbed
by the sounds of firing.
The Rev. Charles Kent of Thetford
one Saturday night recently, heard a
terrific c~hattering of the pheasants
and small birds around his house.
There was a terrific fuss in birddom.
The cries were shrill and wild. The
birds left their beds in the trees and
flew about in terror. Their ears were
catching sounds in the air that the
rector and his family were missing.
But, when the rector picked up the
Sunday morning paper. he saw that
the German Zeppelins had lombard
ed the coast some miles away, during
the very hours of the birds excite
ment. He was so impressed that he

wrote a letter TO the Times about il.
whereupon many other residents of
that part of England said that all the
birds in their neighborhoods had
conducted themselves in the most ex-
traordinary manner during the raids,
even though the writer's. themselves,
had not been able to hear the sounds
of shooting.
At a distance of ninety-seven miles
the pheasants shrieked themselves
hoarse over sounds of firing.
Whether the birds will become
tired of the %incessant firing on the
continent and impatiently leave the
war districts remains 10 be seen.
