we hear him calling over and over,
"Chick-a-dee, dee, dee, chickn-dce, dee,
nee!' But when he sings his clear
whistling note, phoebe. Phoebe we
are likely to mistake him FOR the
phoebe bird. says an exchange The
chickadee stays IN the north in winter.
and the phoebe does not come north
till the early spring The phoebe bird
sings its name over ana over. very

peabody bird says, Peabody, pea
body. peabody" over and over In Il
rather senseless way, as If he went
round in circle. Another bird that
sings his name is bob white the quaiD,
only he often says. Poor bob white!"
His notes so up and down and are
stronger than the notes Of the smaller
birds and may be heard at long dis
tance. OF course those birds do not
really sing their names But people
listening to them have fancied that
these names are what the notes sound
most like, and so they have given the
bird the name. i Exchange.

VAL SUGANA THE SCENE

river, where recently the Archduke
Charles Francis Joseph began pressing
back the Italians. that Napoleon made
his amazing descent upon the Austri-
ans in 1896 The French genius of war
led his wonderfully mobile infantry a
distance of more than sixty miles in
two days. and at the end of the march
rushed them into battle against the
forces of Wurmser. who had fallen
back upon the city of Bassano. twenty
miles south of the present Tyrolean
border and thirty five miles northwest
of Venice. This phenomenal dash be-
gan at Trent, where the Napoleonic
forces had been assembled after the VIC

fertile. vine-clad Val Sugana, which
follows the course of the Brenta river
in its sweeping northward bend as It
makes its way east. finally crossing
the Italian border at Tezze. forty
seven miles by rail from Trent. Next
to Levico. the largest town in the val
ley is Borgo, known in Roman days as
Ausugum. On the heights surrounding
this picturesque place of $500 people
are the ruins of several ancient and
medieval castles which lend a unique
aspect to the landscape.

to handle their own destinies
This is the question of the hour In
entente countries. for it Is believed that
inasmuch as the Teutonic lines along
the eastern front are almost threadbare
only such action as has been stated
will enable the forces Of the kaiser and
Francis Joseph to stem the Russian
tide
A hint to a possible striking develop
ment in the present war and directly
affecting the trend Of affairs in the east
and in the Balkans Is given in a dis
patch from Salonikf. which states that
large Bulgarian forces have been
moved from the front facing the Fran
co-British armies and moved to the
Rumanian border. The conclusion has
been drawn that Notwithstanding the
purported treaties between Germany
and her allies and Rumania the future
of this little Balkan nation Is anything
but settled; in fact. it is limited in
Paris and London that the Rumanian
government. swayed as it is by the
present Russian offensive, will take ad-
vantage Of the occasion and come out
forces against both the Bulgarians and
Turks on her southern border and
against the Austrians to the west. Ac-
ton on the part of Rumania at the
present juncture probably would be a
decisive factor in the trend of events
in the east and in the Balkans.

west necessarily would prevent removal
