SQUARE ROGERS RETURN.

During the years just previous to the
breaking out of the war, old square rig
ged sail vessels were selling for song,
and at stated intervals lists of the sale
of such, largely under the British flag,
were being published in our British ex-
changes, and their buyers were to a
great extent Norwegians. All this has
been changed, however. in the last two
years, for just as these square riggers
seemed about to disappear from the
worlds trade routes, the European war
brought them back because of the high
freights offering and the scarcity of ton
mage, due to the draft upon the foreign
merchant marines by the belligerent
powers admiraltles. Most of the buy
ers of these ships have become wealthy
through this sudden turn of the fortunes
of the square riggers, while the present
generation has been given an altogether
unlocked for opportunity to see them
again under sail.
How they have been manned, however,
is an interesting question. But that
they have been ably handled goes with
out saying, as few if any losses have
been reported through ignorance in nav
lgatlng them. This would seem to indi-
cate that there is still a remnant of the
worlds population that is efficient in
sailorizing, that is, capable of navigat-
ing ships propelled by the winds of
heaven, though there has been for many
years past little enough encouragement
for any man to follow that profession
only from sheer love of the sea. THE

THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE KEPUe.
Lie AND AMERICAN DIPLOMACY.

81 have no sympathy with the new
theory that Americans are not to be pro-
tected in foreign lands, said Florence
Howe Hall, author of "The Story of the
Battle Hymn of the Republic" day or
two ago. eff this doctrine had prevailed
in the nineteenth century, l should never
have existed. When my father, DR..
Samuel Gridley Howe, in the chivarous
DAYS of his youth, carried help to the
struggling Poles, at the request of La
fayette, he was Swallowed and suddenly
disappeared in Berlin. The Prussian an
thorities assured the American minister
that they knew of no such person as DR.,
Howe. But friend who had seen him
before his disappearance was not to be
Dluffed. He insisted and persisted till
they reluctantly released my father from
the prison where, without trial, he was
secretly immured and where, but for the
interference of Uncle Sam, he would
have languished and died. In that case. ="
continued Mrs. Hall, che would never
have married Miss Julia Ward of New
York, nor would she have helped him in
his antislavery work. He would never
have been appointed on the Sanitary
Commission, nor would he have gone to
Washington, taking his wife with him.
She would not have seen the Army of the
Potomac and The Battle Hymn of the
Republic would never have been written.
Of course, | should never have been
born. So naturally believe that America
should protect her citizens abroad as
we'll as at home

we marshalled in the year with a leo

! ment thought 1t time that we, as a clnb
shouio give the people of Bangor the op-
portunlty OF hearing and gaining inspira-
tioh from one of the best bird authori
Ties III the country. Certainly no one was
disappointed In the wonderful lecture we
heard that night. 1t was not simnlv a
pleasing entertainment, but everv sen.
tence showed the deepest scientific knowl-
! edge, yet there was not a dull moment
and all were filled with admiration and
respect Tor one who had been able to m.
lock SO many doors into the treasure
house of the bird world and pass the in
formation on to US less fortunate mortaIs
None who heard will ever forget the
wonderful Imitation of the song of the

are able to give so that one can recognize
1t. A heavy shower prevented our hay
ing the audience we had hoped for. and
we did not make much money for our
winters work, but we had done our best
and that always helps ourselves as we'll
as others.
Feeding the Birds.
The first regular meeting was one of
great enthusiasm. Our club decided not
only to continue the work of feeding the
birds through the winter on a more ex-
tended scale than on the winter before,
but to branch out in new lines. We had
long felt that good work for the birds
could be done through the grangers of
the State, for birds are of inestimable
TO md A
tee was appointed to look into the matter
They soon found that our ideas were verv
ambitious and that we would better be-
gin with our own county. 1t was no
small task to communicate with the So
Oranges in Penobscot county, vet this
was done. Certain questions were asked
as to the interest in birds in the commun-
lty, literature on the subject was sent.
and the Changers were asked to cooper
ate with us In the great work of conserva-
ton. Several replies were received by
the committee and we hope we have
started the ball rolling in the right direc-
ton.
Want Bird Reservations.
We have wished from the first that
there might be Bird Reservations in and
about Bangor. The two cemeteries are
bird reservations, but there were no>
others, SO we decided to make a great
effort along this line. We met with
good response from the owners of wood
ed tracts in and around our city. This
encouraged US to have some cloth post
ers Of warning printed and our commit
tee has done grand good work. One
may see these posters on both sides of
kenduskeag stream, in Dorothea Dix
park and other sections along the river,
in the Hersey woods. Old Town and
many other places near Bangor. They
also may be seen in private estates and
wooded tracts in other parts of the State
where club members have been able to
interest the people in this great work.
Should License Cats.
The question of cats, particularly
stray, homeless !cats, has long troubled
US. We have asked the Humane society
to cooperate with us and hope to accom-
plish something. Cats and the English
sparrow are hard problems to solve. If
