 The house wren came Friday to Pecl<'s corner a day or two ahead Of time. It usually comes early in April when the winter wrens leave for Canada. The listener wonders that so tiny a bird pours forth jubilant a song. It has been stated that mill lioEs of insects from the garden find their way into the tireless bills of these wrens for they feed wholly upon them. Last week on the wooded hillside north of Huntington lane a flock of twenty hluebirds were seen flying in and out a large heap of un- derbrush, sometimes every one would disappear under its cover, then reap pear. Robins were lowering over p1owed ground near searching success fully for worms. Peep frogs were heard Sunday evening.

Springfield cma.s.) Republican.

Tn the most nomentous hour of our history since the Civil war. the na- tion's chosen leader has made the fate fu1 decision which duty and honor i'm poses. and congress and the people will give him loyal support. Tt is no half-hearted war for which he calls; he rightly sees that having gone so far there can be no compromise. Amer ica must help win the war and the more speedily the better. But never was a message couched in terms revealing a more earnest and sincere love of peace. The people of the south have learned to see in Abraham Lin coin their true friend: time will come when the German people vii see that in all the world they have no better friend than Woodrow Wilson.
 Even today, if it is allowed to cir culate in Germany, it will evoke a thrill comparable to that stirred by the voice of the Russian people. This great address, so restrained in tone so humane in sentiment, yet is af1ame with militant democracy: it sounds a new battlecrv for freedom to oppress- ed races and to people still in the me- dieval bondage of autocratic govern ment.

The New York HeroId.

In respect to MT. Wilson's decIara- ton that the war is not aimed at the German people, we think he had d lurking suspicion that they would quickly cast off thei" kings and princes if they saw a strong democratic power ready to shield them against their ene- mics, while they set thei@ house in order. We are absolutely certain that during the war no change in the form of government the Germans have is possible.
