so strange when it is considered
that his rate of pay is considerably
higher than that of the British tar.
The American gets "a dollar ev-
cry time we get shilling" is a
common expression among the ad-
miring British seamen. one of the
American sailors faEOrite ways of
showing his opulence is his habit of
always travelins first class on the
railroad which takes him from the
village up 20 the city, a trip of a
few miles. The extra cost is only a
few pence but the unheard idea of
a common sailor travelling first class
strikes the people as a startling and
audacious maneuver worthy the best

Thus we see as the result of most
careful scientific investigation how
valuable these birds are to our farm
erS and forrcstcrs and the Importance
of giving them all the protection we
possibly can. The old custom of re-
garding the Flicker as a game bird
was a great mistake and it is now
protected by law just as are the other
woodpeckers.

year, it is set forth, Sweden i'm
ported from the United States 10000
| tons of pig iron, while selling a great
quantity of her own product to Ger
many. Her pig iron sales to Germany
in two years, it is declared, have
amounted to 250,000 tons. In addition
to this it is asserted, she has shipped
to Germany $4,000 tons of ferro-sili-
con and ferro- manganese for harden
ing shells, together with large guam
titles of copper, zinc, manganese, sui
phur and other ores.
Another charge against Sweden
made in the report is that she has dis
criminated against the Allies in the
use of her railroads. Agricultural
machinery destined for Russia, the
report declares, has been held up for
months, Sweden eXacting from Rus
sia extraordinary bargains before de-
livery was permitted. Swcdens ac-
ton in holding within her ports a
large amount of merchant tonnage is
dealt with in the report, which de-
clarcs 100000 tons is lying idle.
The Allies, unable to froce Swedish
tonnage into the worlds trade routes,
now look to the United States for
help.

BIRDS OF SOUTH CAROLINA
(By Wilmer Stone, Sc. D., Curator,
Academy of Natural Sciences, of
Philadelphia.)
THE WOODPECK ERS.

Among the most interesting and
valuable of our wild birds are the
woodpeckcrs. They differ from all
other birds in their habit of aliGhting
against the upwrght trunk of tthc
tree, holding their body against the
bark with their legs, much as a boy
shining up a pole. They also re-
tain their hold by spreading the tail
and forcing the stiff points of the
feathers into the cracks of the bark
the feathers being adapted for just
this purpose.
Woo,'peckcrs arc ESQ peculiar in
their habit Of digging nest cavity
out Of the trunks OF dead trees, in
which their eggs are laid and their
young hatchcd. They usually have
more or less red on their heads. Some
k!nIS like the Flicker and the DoWny
woodpcckcrs have only crescent of
red across the bacG Of the head, while
the kcd-hcadcd and Pilcatcd wood
pcckcrs have the whole head or the
whole upper part Of it red. Their

that they make several quick strokes
with the wingsand then pause a mo-
ment before making another series Of
wing-bcats, the body falling trinc
and rising again with the next wing
stroke.
Woodpcckcrs are not tsong birds
and their cries are usually harsh and
unmusical. The cry Of the Rod-hcad
is q familiar sound and also his drum
ming or rattlinG on some hollow limb
or metal roof or tightening rod. The
Flicker has a loud call "Yarrup" and
succession of short rapid calls wiiich
are most frequently heard in the
spring when the birds are pairing.
Economically the woodpeckcrs are
most beneficial birds. They spend

much time digging into the tree
trunks wherever there are dccayed
spots and their long, sharp, chisscl-
like bills and slender flexible tongues
make it possible for them to dig out
| thousands Of boring larvae of beetles
and other insects which 90 great harm
to the trees.
Some wccdpeckcrS especially the
! Flicker are often seen on the ground
where they are busiiy engaged in
picking up ants poking their slender
tongues down the burrows in which
the ants live. As many as 5000 ants
! have been found IN Il single wool
| pcckcr's stomach. When we know
that ants are active in transporting
various plant lice from place to place,
where they make their nests, often
among the roots Of trees we readily
see what 4 menace they are to trees
and other plants for these plant lice
which the ants collect for the purpose
/ of feeding on the sweet Juice which
they cNudc, are among; the worst of
the insects destructive 20 plant life.
Other kinds of ants are themselves
directly destructive to ;rccs as they
, dig out their nests in the wood and in
this way kill the trees.
In the autumn wccdpcckors dcvour
large amounts Of wild fruit. berries
of the dogwool, tupclo, sassafras, etc,
as well as acornS and other seeds.
The Rcd-hcadeA woodpcckcr during
the berry season takes few raspbcr-
rics and cherries if gardens be handy
but the little damage that he does is
far more than Offset by the immense
good that he does as destroyer Of
insects.
The only woodpcckcr that is really
harmul is the Ici!ow-bcIicd sap
sucker, bird which occurs in South
Carolina only in the winter time. 1t
drills regular series of holes in the
bark of hickory and other trees from
which it eats the c0mbium or inner
layer Of the bark. IN the case Of
hickorics this is a serious matter as
is results in discoloring the wood, as
moisture leaks in through the holes
ana the value of the wood is thereby
very much deprecated. Otherwise
this bird is not injurious and it is
better to kill those individuals which
are actually caught in the act than
to wage war on all Of their kind, most
of whom never do any harm.

AUSTRIAN
SUSPECT
IS HELD

- ID. Klaric, an Austrian, 81, Is
the first man of his nationality
to be arrested in Tacoma on sus-
picion of being an alien enemy,
since President Wilson recon-
mended Tuesday that war be. de-
clared on Austria.
Klaric was stopped on a down
town street Wednesday by .Detec-.
tives Milone and Garberg,, after
1t had been reported that he was
openly criticising the u. S. for its
war policy .
The Austrian was commanded
to take the detectives to his room,
where a quantity of literature OF
a suspicious nature was found.
Most of the literature was in
the Austrian and German Ian
guage. Many war terms were
found in the papers, including
"barrage, tank" first line
trenches and other words
brought into use since the war
started.
Klaric declared that he was
studying English and that he was
using popular words in his course
of study.
He was turned over to Special
Agent Mccormick of the depart
ment of justice at noon.
