Soma of the Birds.

Gagged chaffinches are celebrated for their eagerness to compete with one another in singing. They deliver their songs alternately until one is exhaust ed and unable to take up his turn He is vanquished. So excited do the birds become that it occasionally happens that one of the competitors drops down dead. The originating and directive causes of the particular song of differ ent kinds of birds is not understood. But it is we'll known that they have a great gift of imitation. Parrots, piping crows, ravens and other such birds arc familiar instances. while little birds. such as bullfnches. can be trained to whistle the melodies which human be ings have invented.-EXchange

Lamar and Relative of Kaiser sentenc-
 ed In Spy Case.
 Captain Franz von Rintelen, the leu ton agent and reputed relative of the kaiser, was sentenced fn New York by Federal Judge Cushman to serve one year in the Mercer county penitentiary at Trenton, N. J., after his conviction of plotting to prevent the exportation of war munitions to the allies.
 Similar sentences were imposed upon David Lamar, the notorious impersona- tor, and. Henry B. Martin, the Wash ington lobbyist, who were convicted of complicity in the scheme. Lamar's sen tence is to go into effect at the expira- ton of a two year term he is now serv- ing in Atlanta federal prison for i'm personating Representative A. Mitchell Palmer.
 Because of Von Rintelen's rank as captain lieutenant in the imperial Ger man navy he will ask the attorney general to change the place of his inn prisonment to a military internment camp, where he may be treated as prisoner of war.

 Work.

The Connecticut Committee of Foud Supply has accepted all offer of service in the bigger crops" campaign made by Edgar J. Marston of 24 Broad street, New York, who has volunteered the use of his automobile and his own services three days each week for work in Connecticut under the committees direction. MT. Marston made his offer to Governor Marcus H. Holcomb, de- cIaring that, because of having frac- tured his knee and broken bone in his foot, he is unable to pass medical examination for military service, but said he was anxious to serve the state in any capacity in which he was need- ed, suggesting that he would be glad to work in the food supply campaign without compensation. The letter was turned over by the governor to the food supply committee, and MT. Marston was informed that his services could be used to advantage, and his offer was accepted with appreciation.

FRENCH REFUSE
 FIERCE ASSAULTS
Hold All Champagne Gains
 Against Grown Prince.

Fighting in the west again has sub sided considerably. The French and British are contenting themselves with consolidating the ground gained in the past week. The Germans are still hit ting back furiously against the French, without, however, making any great impression.
 The French took 1000 prisoners in their latest advance in the Champagne. Twenty-e1ght officers were among them. Considerable losses'' were in- fitcted on the Teutons, Paris reports. when the crown prince tried vainly in three separate counter blows to regain his former positions
 Unofficial figures sent by front cor respondents and credited to "headquar- ters" give the German losses in killed, wounded and missing on the French front alone since Saturday at 15,00O. The French now hold the dominating points of the Moronvilliers heights and are a half mile from the town of that name. They are making slow but steady headway toward forcing, leu ton withdrawal from the whole front between Auberive and Rheims.
 British headquarters reported only successful raids northeast of Epehey and east of Bullecourt. The German war office announced the repulse of all French and British assaults and the capture of more than 24O prisoners on the French front.
 Reports from the Rome war office in d1cated slackening of the Italian of fensiye. It was stated, however, that Austrian counter attacks were beaten off with heavy losses.
