OPPOSE MILES AS
 CAVALRY OFFICER
Three States Want Capt. Roberts
 at Head Of HOrSemen
Especial to the Herald.)

NopeSidl 10 the Herald)
 Washington, July 11.-There seems to be m1Xup over the high officers of the New England National Guard cavalry regiment, which has been called out by the president for duty in connection with the Mexican crisis. That regiment includes one squadron each from Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
 Lieut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A, retired, and Governor Mccall if Massa chusetts recommended Lieut.. Sherman Miles of the regular field artillery for lieutenant colonel of the New England cavalry regiment. After that assignment had been made pro- tests were received by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts from Massa chusetts cavalry officers on duty at El PasO, Texas, against Miles appointment The Bay state officers urged that Capt. Thomas A. Roberts of the Second U. s. Cavalry, who has been serving as instructor of the New England cav airy militia, should be appointed lieu tenant colonel of the regiment
 But that was too late. Now comes a telegram from Governor Beeckman of Rhode Island stating that all the officers of the New England cavalry, from the three states named, want Capt. Roberts for colonel of the reg iment. Nothing has been heard to that effect by Senator Lodge, but it is presumed that as the Massachusetts officers wanted Roberts for lieuten- ant colonel they would be willing to have him for colonel. According to Senators Mclean and Brandegee, nothing has been heard fnom Con- necticut about the colonelcy of the New England cavalry regiment.
 War department officers say that the department will not appoint the colonel unless the states concerned agree upon somebody for the place, who will be named if satisfactory.

several things: First, that the mas tery of the seas hereafter will be equally under the control of the small nations as well as the great naval powers. It means another thing the beginning of a renewed attempt of Germany to control the monopoly Of the dyestuff production of the world as she had it on the 1st of August, 1914, and it also means a renewed attempt to strengthen her sranglehold upon the defensive power of every nation in the WOrld."
 Representative Mann, the republ- can floor leader, assailed the demo- cratic bill as class legislation. He said it levied taxes only on the wealthy, whereas all classes were ben ef1ted by the preparedness legislation which the revenue bill was designed to offset. Mr. Mann quotes figures to show that four states-NeW York, H. lihois, Pennsylvania and Masaachu- setts-were paying more income and corporation tax than the forty-four other states com bined.

are enlarging their store. They have
 built on an upper story which is now
 we'll along toward completion and this will enable them to get several thou sand additional square feet of fcor surface. New elevators are now being installed and the whole interior Of the store will undergo marked changes in the very near future De- partments will be located in new po- s1t1ons and many of them will be gtv- en additional space. All this means a great deal of extra labor and expense in moving goods and the firm is very anxious to reduce stocks as much as possible before the shifting process begins. Therefore, they announce this remodeling sale and invite their cus- toners to come and benefit themselves by securing high grade merchandise at less than usual price and help the firm by the reduction of stock. All departments will offer special bar gains at this sale. Remember that the store does not open until o'clock and closes at 6 Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays; at 12 Fridays

 The department announces that Charles w. Leet has been commits stoned postmaster at Chester, Conn.,, and James E. Cuff has been commits stoned postmaster at Danbury both from June 2S, for a term of four year.
 Former Representative Jeremiah Donovan of Connecticut is in Wash
 ington but he says that he knows nothing about his contested election
 case against Representative E. J.. Hill. He says he has not kept in
 touch with the matter and has not sought information concerning it. He does not know what the elections committee of the house will recom-
 mend and does not seem to be both
 ering about it.
 s. w. Veterans Widows Bill.
 Senator Brandegee and Mclean of
 Connecticut voted against displacing
 the Spanish war veterans widows
 pension bill in the senate, when it was proposed to take up the agricultural appropriation bill instead, but the lat ter measure was taken up.
 Senator Mclean has presented
 memorials of Local No. 50, Order of Railway Conductors, and of Charter
 Oak lodge, No. 2S5, Locomotive Fire
 men and Enginemen, of Hartford,
 Conn.,, remonstrating against compul-
 sorry arbitration oE railroad matters,
 which were referred to the commit tee on interstate commerce.
 He also presented a petition of the Women's Relief Corps of Connecti- cut, praying for the enactment of leg islation to increase the pensions granted to widows of veterans of the Civil war, which was referred to the committee on pensions.
 Wilbur w. Bill, a native of Chap lin, Conn.,, and a real soldier of for tune by reason of wide travel and ad- venture, died here at the family resi- dence yesterday, aged seventy-three. He went west at sixteen years of age and had many adventures with Indi- ans, and fighting forest fires and hunt ing gold. He built a part of the Northern Pacific railroad, was ap- pointed deputy consul at Melbourne, Australia, in 1893, while living in Chi cago; took a shipload of provisions from Australia to Manila for Admiral Dewey's fleet in 1898, brought trans port of disabled soldiers and sailors back to the United States shortly aft erwards; returned to Melbourne by the European route, thus going around the world; resigned his con- sular position in 1902; went to- tho Transvaal near the close of the Boer war and engaged in business there for seven years; travelled extensively throughout Africa, and finally settled down here in 1909, bought some su- burban property and developed it. His widow, whom he married in Australia survives him, as do two of his broth CTS, John G. Bill of Willimantic and Arthur G. Bill of Danielson Conn. MT. Bills remains were buried in Pros oect Hill cemetery here.

I OF the different days and finally Wis
iting the field again for the 9TH time
in order to correct any mistakes | had
my complete census Of 3S species, 80
male birds or a total bird population
OF $780, From this figure that the
total bird population of the town OF
Bennington on the LIST Of June is about
$1,000.
Such census as this is taken every
year at the same time by many obser-
vers throughout the U. S. Another
census is taken about Xmas time. On
ly one day is occupied in completing
it and every bird seen is counted.
This census gives the number OF birds
wintering in the U. S.
We have now learned three import
ant things: LIST, what the birds eat;
End, how much an individual bird eats;
3rd, how many birds there are. From
these facts we are able to learn
many things and among them are
1st what birds are beneficial and
what harmful; End In what sections
of the country the birds are most num-
erous; Ord, the most important of all
just how valuable in dollars and
cents the bird population is to us.
1t is impossible in q short paper to
go into detailed account OF the value
of each species bat in a general way
can show you what ever present guard
ians of our safety the birds are.
From early morning until dark the
swallows and swilts are continually
on the wing sweeping the insects out
of the air. On nearly every tree sits
fly catcher ready to dart out and
snap up any insect that passes by.
The warblers, ouckcos, kinglets and
vireos are swarming in the tree tops
searching out any insect life among
the branches and leaves and while the
woodpeckers, nuthatches and creepers
go diligently over the trunks and larg-
er branches picking up every egg or
grub that threatens the life of the
trees. Among the bushes and on the
ground are the sparrows, grackles,
crows, thrashers and dozen other
species picking up seeds and injurious
insects. Even with all this there Is
more for all night long the owls, night
hawks and whippoorwills carry on the
work OF destruction to injurious ami
mails A certain German, Hans Van
Berlepsch, has made a study of how to
attract birds by the use Of feeding sta
tons and nesting boxes 1t has been
such a success that the German Gov
eminent has already put up 10000 of
these nestboxes in one forest-kow-
ing that the birds attracted there will
protect the timber.
So as Ernest Harold Baynes
says, making all allowance for num-
Der of birds whose good deeds are off.
set by bad ones and for few that are
positively harmful we shall see that
we have working for us great army
of feathered worlImen--many of whom
work for us 800 days in the year with
out wages and without even the neces-
sity of supervision. And when we
think that these worllmen never loaf,
never ask for a vacation and never go
on q strike, 1t would seem that there
should be, among all intelligent peo-
! PIE, the keenest competition for their
services"

A few words concerning the diet OF
the Crow will not be amiss lot IL Is
we'll known what q useless and de-
structive bird the crow is. The great
est harm the crows do is pulling the
newly sprouted corn, but they may be
stopped from doing this by tarring the
seed which not only saves the corn
but forces the crows 10 turn their at
teutioh to insects. May beetles, June
bugs and others OF the same family
constitute the principal food OF the
crow during the spring and early sum
mer and are fed to the young in i'm
mense quantities. During August
grasshoppers form the leading article
of diet. On the whole the crow does
more good than harm at least when
ordinary precautions are taken to pro-
tect the newly planted corn against
its depredations.
have shown you how it is possible
10 learn upon what each species OF
bird feeds. In like manner we are
able to find out how much an indiyidu-
al bird will eat in one day. Now If we
can count the number OF birds in the
L. S. we shall be able to tell very ac-
curateiy lust how valuable the bird
population is to us, What! Count the
birdsl" you say. why that is impos-
sible" Yet it has been done and 1t is
thought to be a fairly accurate census.
II may interest You to hear how such
census is taken and as ! am one OF
the census-takers | will tell you the
method used.
In the first place it has been learned
that nesting birds do not wander far
from their nests, Il is further known
that while the female bird is on the
nest the male is near by.
The counting is done upon a tract
of land that, if possible, represents
within its borders the average condi-
tons of the neighborhood in the pro
portions Of woodland, plowed land,
meadow, etc II should not be less
than 40 acres nor more than 80 and
should include the farm buildings, with
the usual shade trees and orchard.
The tract should be accurately de
scribed so that it may be used in fu-
ture years and comparisons made in
regard to the bird population of differ
ent years. Only birds nesting in the
area are counted. Birds visiting there
for feeding are not counted.
In counting, begin at daylight some
morning the last of May or the LIST
week of June and zigzag back and
forth across the area noting every
male bird. AT that season of the year
every male bird should be in full song
and easily counted. The census OF
one day is checked and revised by sew
eral days of further work in order to
insure accuracy.
Last summer visited the area upon
different mornings with these re
