TINE song sparrow is the true her
aid Of the spring, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the robin and
bluebird have that honor of men.
The song sparrow is the singer of
the year. Neither winter cold nor
summer heat has power to check his
tuneful desires. In the February fields
when the snow still lies banked deep
against the combining fences the song
sparrow voices the promise of spring
before the robin and the bluebird dare.
In August, when every other bird
voice is stilled and the earth is baked
and the green is parched, the song
sparrow sings of coming autumn rains.
In no month of the year is he wholly
silent, and though storm and hunger
may force him to long journeys he has
song ready for each new resting
place The search for a sweet and
perfect optimism ends with the song
sparrow.
The bird is nothing to the eye and
everything to the ear. He dresses in
drabs and browns, with streakings of
black and bay and ash, with white
enough below to make prominent end
identifying brown patch on the
breast.
The song sparrow gave the frost
bound pilgrims Of the Plymouth col
ony the first syllabled hope that some
where beyond the awful winter lay the
spring. He has been giving the same
word of hope to every northern farm
ing household for nearly three centu-
ries.
The robin and the bluebird are con-
spicuously beautiful; the song spar
row is an ugly duckling, and while he
pipes his spring song for week before
the others come, the ones in fine raj
ment, as is the way of things in this
world, get the credit and the welcome.
The song sparrow ought to have won
some songs in return for his music;
but most of the poets have been neg
lectful.
George Parsons Lathrop, who did
much more in prose than poetry, was
nevertheless moved out of his wont to
sing when he heard the spring song
sparrow at his garden gate.
Glimmers gay the leafless thicket
Close beside my garden gate,
Where so light from post to wicket,
Hops the sparrow. blithe, sedate
Who, with meekly folded wing,
Comes to sun himself and sing
Mr. Lathrop caught the manner Of
the sparrow and drew his proper pic
ture. Let not everyone, however, look
for the song sparrow at his garden
gate. The birds presence there de-
ponds altogether on the garden. The
song sparrow shuns no man save the
man who makes artificial his surround
ings. 1t is the old-fashioned garden,
with tangles here and there, that the
song sparrow loves. He does not de-
spise the fruit garden, and though, like

KING ACCEPTS RESIGNATION
OF THE GRECIAN CABINET
Delayed Dispatch From Athens Said to
FOreshadOw Entry of Greece Into
War on Side of Entente Allies.

The belief is entertained in the en-
tente capitals that the retirement of
the Zaimis ministry is preliminary to
the entrance of Greece in the war with
the allies Recent dispatches from
Berlin and Vienna show that there
also it is regarded as probable Greece
will soon abandon neutrality and join
the entente powers.
The precise causes which led to the
resignation of the ministry have not
been disclosed, on account of the ex-
ceptionally rigid censorship. A Lon
don dispatch yesterday said Zaimis
had complained that internal Incl
dents were preventing him from deal
ing with the external situation. 1t is
believed in London that his resigna-
ton was due to the fact that he &C
cepted the premiership on the under
standing that he was to maintain neu-
trality and in view Of the Bulgarian
occupation OF Greek territory had
found this impossible
Up to the time of the first dispatch
announcing that NJ Zaimis had pre-
scented his resignation, his retirement
was unexpected. for it was understood
the premier had assumed dictatorial
powers and was in an exceptionally
strong position. Political affairs
reached a crisis after the Bulgarians
invaded northeastern Greece and the

COMMENTS BY
EXCHANGES
NOT UNCHALLENGED

n nee a dignified and reticent
| member of the nations highest
tribunal, Mr. Hughes has cast
those characteristics aside to plunge
into the sea of politics with both
hands outstretched, graphing for mud
to heave.
Even those who at first were very
much inclined toward him and his
views are wavering in their admira-
ton of the man. Many of his former
admirers already have ceased to advo-
cate him.
His campaign thus far largely has
been one of villification and he has
been devoting much more attention
to inopportune criticising Of the de-
mocracy and the Democratic admins
tration than he has to outlining his
policies, if he has any, or advocating
the principles of the political party
which nominated him.
He has not offered, nor is he offer
ing, any issues or principles or pro-
posals as his reasons for his candi-
dacy, but is endeavoring to make the
voters of the nation consider him the
right man for the presidency on the
basis only that he is criticising the
Democrats. Even Republicans are
puzzled by his failure to dwell on any
subjects which might enable the peo-
pie to know what course he would
pursue we're he elected president of
the United States.
And now his attack on the demo-
cracy is proving a veritable boomer
ang. His statements are not being al
lowed to go unchallenged.
Democrats of high estate and who
know what they are talking about, are
answering his declarations, pointing
out the injustices of his utterances,
their illogical character and lack Of
foundation in fact

II AINBRIDGE COLBY, a former
X Progressive leader who nomin-
- ated Colonel Roosevelt at the
Chicago convention, claims there is a
sweeping trend of Progressives all
over the country toward the Demo-
cratic party. In a recent speech in
Maine he said:
Has the Republican party changed
its spots? Colonel Roosevelt does not
intimate this. Is there a new set Of
men in control? Colonel Roosevelt
knows that the Old Guard are as eff
fectually in control of the party as
they ever were. What did Colonel
Roosevelt mean when he said in 1912:
L will continue the fight even ii
stand entirely alone? What did he
mean when he said in 1913: TO my
mind the whole attitude of those at
present responsible for the leadership
and management of the Republican
party shows that it would be folly to
try to combine with them
IF that was true, and the colonel
thought it, how has he the effrontery
to stand out on a public platform and
advise the Progressives of Maine to
combine with the Republicans? The
colonel is not only a mighty hunter,
he is apparently a mighty eater He
is an eater of words, with a particular
relish for his own words as a steady
diet. lie reminds me of the famous
anaconda, which began by devouring
its tail until it finally disappeared,
expiring by encouragement.
THE Progressives throughout the
country are turning to Wilson because
he is the foremost of Progressives
Under his leadership, and with the
patriotic concurrence of his party.
thirty-five distinct planks of the Pro-
gressive platform of 1912 have been
enacted into statute law by his admin
istration. He has steadily appointed
men of Progressive ideals to high and
important office. He has left the sod
den and reactionary Republican OPP
position nothing out of which to con-
struct a genuine issue. The cam
paign of Hughes has almost collapsed.
His speeches in the west are source
of dismay to his managers, and OF
apology by his friends. His treatment

to continue in power with the strong
support of the Venezelos party.
After the fall of the Venezelos cabi-
net on account of the kings disagree
ment with its policy favoring inter-
vention in the war with the allies,
Zaimis was called on to form cabi-
net. He announced a policy of armed
neutrality. The cabinet resigned in
November but in June Zaimis was
again placed at the head of the gov
eminent. Although advocating neu-
trality he was regarded as having a
predisposition toward the entente.
