Sparrows.

The white throated and white crown
ed sparrows may be told by their
names. The fox sparrow is the larger,
bright, rufous streaks and big spots or
breast. The song sparrow is about the
size of an English sparrow, but with a
longer tail, streaks and large spot on
breast. The chipping and field spar
rows are smaller, with no spots on
breast. The former has lines on head;
the latter is rufous and sings very
sweetly.

Russ Leader Supports
American ar Aims

Special Cable to The Washington Herald
Petrograd (via London), April 23.-'HThe
Russian masses whom represent in the
provisional government recently estab-
lished fully indorse President Wilson'S
war aims.
Provided the President was speaking
not as a diplomat, but as the mouth
piece Of the American people when. in
bis peace note In December, he pro-
claimed desire for peace without VIC
tory and a re-establishment of European
governments along lines of racial de-
velopment. the world will find the Rus
sian soldiers. Russian sailors and Rus
sian workmen lined up solidly behind
him I'm his desire to free the German
people.
Our aim is not to infict penalties
that would be provocative of future
strife. The Russian people are not
against proper indemnities, but they are
determined that improper punitive exac-
tions must not be imposed"
These first authoritative statements of
the exact attitude Of Russian soldiers and
workmen, who now admittedly control
the policies Of the government were
made today by A. Kerensky, minister
of justice y
He declared that the telegram sent to
him by New York Socialists urging
against a separate peace was gratuitous
and unnecessary, for the Russian masses
are inspired with a profound enthusia sm
to continue their consistently defensive
war to a finish.

NATIONAL POTATO DAY"
FOR INCREASE IN CROP

a nauonal potato day" is urged by
Capt. g. NJ. Won Schrader, of the Missouri
State committee of the Navy League of
the United States, to meet the world
shortage Of the potato crop. Capt. Won
Schrader, former naval officer has pur-
chased a farm in Missouri. After careful
investigation OF conditions, he said:
The necessity of increasing the food
supply In our country is evidenced by the
appeal OF the government to the farmers
to Increase their crops. To bring the
present war to a successful issue, the
necessity of food is as important as am
munition and fighting men. No greater
aid can be given by the people at large
to our country nor more patriotic deeds
accomplished, than to assist in correcting
this deficit.
''The potato is one of the greatest sta
pies of life. Owing to their high price,
the average farmer has been forced to
decrease his acreage, being unable to buy
seed. selling today in the neighborhood
Of 50 bushel. To assist the farmer in
procuring this seed, I propose to have a
national potato day, on which everybody
in the country will donate either potatoes
or money. Let the poor man or the child
give one potato and the rich man a hun
dred bushels-each according to his
means"

German Glass Bullets
Resented by Russia

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
Petrograd. April 23.-Today's war Of
fee announcement says that the Ger
mans on the northern part OF the Rus
sian front have been using glass bullets
for the first time. This discovery has
caused widespread resentment among the
Russ troops, tempered somewhat by the
belief that 1t reveals a German shortage
OF metals which is ominous.
The glass bullet is something entirely
new in warfare, and Russian surgeons
are apprehensive they will not be able
to deal with 1t effectively. They think II
will cause Thousands Of amputations that
are not now necessary. While there is
no express prohibition of glass bullets
In The Hague conventions. they are clear
ly in controventIon of the spirit of
civilized warfare
There has been no evidence Of glass
bullets being used on the western front,
but II the German shortage of metals is
as serious as the Russian general stan
believes they will show themselves there
ahorfly

DR.. James B. Eastman, professor of
surgery at Indiana University, Blooming
ton, Ind. who has just reached the United
States after having been in charge Of
Reserve Hospital, No. 8. at Vienna, for
eight months,
Danger of internal troubles gave Aus
trian authorities much concern as far
back as early in February, the time he
left Vienna, said DIR. Eastman, who is
at the Park Avenue Hotel Residents Of
Vienna freely declared to him that Kaiser
wilhelm had refrained from attending
the funeral of Emperor Franz Joseph
because II was feared that his presence
might cause an outbreak of violence,
''Dr. Sabosky, member of the German
Austro- Hungarian food commission, which
meets every week in Berlin or Vienna,
told me in January that he believed food
conditions had reached their lowest ebb
and would improve" DIR. Eastman con-
tinued. Il know of no actual case of
starvation or semi-starvation. though
children and babies have suffered severely
from the lack of eggs and milk. Only
hirty-two eggs a day were allowed my
hospital of 500 beds"
The Washington herald., 1917-04-24

There has been a violent hare-up OF
resentment over the continued German
torpedoing OF Belgian relief ships and OF
hospital ships, calminat ting in the British
announcement that hereafter hospital
ships will be without special marks Of
Identity, and will each bear certain
quota of German wounded; SO that the
German submarine commander, II he
sinks them. will be drowning his own kin.
The story last week about the new
"fat-rendering process" of the Germans,
meaning that human bodies are now sent
to a huge factory where the fats. oils and
acids are extracted from them, have been
discredited, despite the circumstantiality
Of the first reports. The State Depart
ment has definite reports, however, that
the Germans are utilizing human bones
for fertilizer. The details of this thing,
however, are so revolving that officials
have no present plan of making them
public. ..
An American surgeon returning from
Germany. D. James B. Eastman, is frank
in saying he believes the Teutonic en-
pires will be able to survive their present
food crisis; that the situation is not so
bad as It has been painted.
