with her j stood there and watch
ed her. Just then she pushed them
all of the nest and il was funny
to see them scamper around on the
lawn all in a row behind their
mother. First. she took all Of
them up 20 our porch railing and
had them all jump. They Tapped
their wings as best they could. Soon
the mother bird took them to our
porch roof and had them fly to
tree near the house Then she
took thsm to their nest again and
had them practice flying from
there Until they could fly almost as
well as she could one day they all
flew south with their mother.

SLANG TOO MUCH FOR SPIES
American Ambulance Driver Succeeds

ton to Friend

At gathering of Princeton grad.
yates and undergraduates in New
York one of the snappiest little sto-
ries of the war was related by a
Princeton graduate just returned from
ambulance service in France. 1t had
to do with the difficulty in outwitting
German espionage in Belgium, and how
1t was managed through the medium of
unrecognized language.
Four months ago. the narrator said
the system of espionage had been about
seven stratas deep. Spies watched the
Belgians, spies in the ranks watched
the German officers, spies watched the
spies who were watching anybody and
it became apparent that anyone who
might sneeZe would be duly reported
in Berlin.
