 "I find the east lined up pretty solidly for Hughes" Mr Gilmore said to The Times correspondent tonight New York and New Jersey are per fectly safe. There Is. however, some debate about Connactitcut, which. however, I look for Hughes to carry.

 Democrats Abandon East
 But in Ohio and Illinois 1t is bat tie royal Hughes must carry one or the other to win Of the two, Illinois now looks far better. The fact that the Democrats have practically aban- doned the east answers the question of whether they really expect to carry it. They are doing, and have done, very little work in New York and New Jersey, and none in Pennsylvania.

The duck hawk flies as swift and AZ
straight as the proverbial arrow. NO
poultry raiser has any grudge against
this falcon, for it disdains tame and
humble quarry and lives like an cpl
cure almost wholly upon game. The
duck hawk will strike down In mid
air bird of twice its weight, and it
will overtake the swiftest winged duck
that flies. He is pirate and every
thing else that is bad, but he lives the

There probably are no injurious
hawks in the United States except
those which have been named. OF
course this qualified statement may be
disputed, but for the most part our
hawks are known to be largely bene-
fetal and concerning those about which
there is some doubt the balance Of
good and evil seems to be just about
even. The hawks that have been
named and in part described are. as
one might say. the worst of the bunch.

1t is easy to write about the injuri-
GUS hawks of this country because
there are so few Of them. Most OF
our birds of prey, the hawks and the
owls, do more good than HARM There
are only a scant half dozen or so into
whom nature has implanted the desire
for evil deeds. Nature is supposed TO
do everything, or at any rate almost
everything. we'll and so it may be that
II we kill the bold buccaneer birds who
do bit Of thieving now and then, we
may rue it one day for some reason
not yet disclosed to the human mind.
The scientists tell US that perhaps
the two most injurious hawks in Amer
lea are the sharp-shinned and the coop
er hawks. These two birds do large
part of the thieving which the farm
ers of the country lay at the door of
the soaring hawk, the red-tailed, the
red-shouldered. and some others.
The sharp-shinned gentleman, called
Accipiter velox, by the ornitholo-
gists, is, as somebody has put 1t, "A
brute of bird" Vernon Bailey of
the biological survey Of the depart
ment Of agriculture has written thus
about this bird of more than question

America as progressive democracy

This opinion was expressed by Felix
NJ Warburg of the banking house OF
Kuhn, Loeb and company, brother of
Paul NJ. Warburg of the federal re-
serve board. He was referring es-
pecially to the health insurance bill
brought out by the American associa-
ton for labor legislation this year. Mr..
Warburg explains his interest In health
insurance by his first-hand acquaint-
ance with its working in Germany.
II lived in Germany at the time

passed and put into operation and the
effect from what / have been told has

by means of a system of universal
health insurance that the service CT

the payment of joint contributions
brings economic pressure to bear on

my disappointment. for l don't like
English sparrows. and have sneak
ing admiration for the bold bird which

no matter what perils impend.
The Cooper hawk, called by the sci
enusts Accipiter cooperii, is just as
much of villain. if you want to look
at him that way, as Is his brother Ac-
cipfter, surnamed velox. This bird is
just as daring as the sharp-shinned,
and being somewhat larger is able to
attack successfully larger prey. DR..
A. X. Fisher the foremost American
authority on the birds of prey. has this
to say about the freebooter under dis
cusSiOn:
"Cooper's hawk, which resembles
the sharp-shinned hawk closely in
everything except size, is less north
ern in its distribution The
food Of this hawk. like that Of It's
smaller congener, consists almost en-
tirely of wild birds and poultry, though
from its superior size and strength it
is able to cope successfully with much
larger birds, and hence is much more
to be dreaded. The flight of

from the ground. in all these partcu-
lars closely resembling that of the
sharp Skinned hawk"

hawk, otherwise Accipiter atricapil-
lus. The goshawk is big bird. some
thing more than 81 foot and half in
length. and seemingly it has the
strength of-well we won't say ten.
but two. Its nesting place is either in
the mountains or way up in the north
ern regions. 1t preys on game birds
and rabbits in the summer season and
in the winter it comes southwark from
the fat poultry Of the land. The
goshawk is daring and a hardy bird.
1t typifies the wild life of mountain
and plain, and as such it seemingly
might be allowed to keep Its place In
natures plan. but sentiment usually is
allowed to count for little when the
loss Of prize rooster or hen is In the
other side Of the balance
Now we get away from the accipiters
and get into the Genus Falco. The
duck hawk, Falsco peregrinus anatum,
is true falcon. Florence Merriam
Bailey. in her Handbook of Birds of
the Western United States" says that
the duck hawk ranks next to the Cos
hawk as u fierce bird of prey. Accord
ing to my way Of looking at It, bad as
the bird is, any man who shoots 1t
ought to be shot himself. The duck
hawk has that high courage which
ought to appeal to everybody who has
red blood In him on his own account.

The libeling OF the submarine. Mr..
Lake said. would not interfere with her

years ago, II was explained, for patents
