Platinum Is Absolutely

Germany now has its hands on the

Suggests Changing Birds

Is found largely in the severity of last
winter. The hardy English sparrows
remain the year around. even In our
colder states, but this time mary of
them were frozen. These sparrows
are sturdy fellows. notable for fighting

Does this show any general superb

And how would ii do to change the

Where Battle Win Be Fought
That viii Decide the War Is
Question World Is Now Askinc

The question as TO where and whom
| the deciding battle OF the present great
war will be fought is one which the
whole world is asking, says a wrlIer
In Philadelphia North American. TIL
battle OF the Somme, Verdun. the hat
tie of the Marne and the great drive
against the Hindenburg line were each
a great stride toward victory. but opIv
the future can tell just when and
where the deciding blow will be struck
And without such a blow, say the his
torians, no permanent peace can be
achieved. for wars of the past show
that the end is always brought about
by some gre; f, decisive victory.
Gettysburg was the deciding battle
of the Civil war. and Saratoga is con-
sidered as having been the critical fight
during the Revolution. One must.
however, go back some 2,4O7 years TO
find the first decisive battle of his
tory. which was fought at Marathon,
when the Athenians under Militades
defeated the PerSianS and preserved
free government.
Equally decisive was the victory of
the Syracusans over those same Athe-
mans some seventy ode years later
and since then there has been no war
in which some battle has not been def
nitely the deciding struggle. Oddly
enough, such battles are almost always
fought on land, for no matter how
great the victory at sea, it does not
seem as efficacious in ending war as
does such victory on land.
Thus, while the battle Of Trafalgar
in 1905 was the deciding naval battle
between France and England since il
destroyed Napoleon's hope of invading
Great Britain, it was not until Water
loo, some ten years later, that de-
cisive defeat was administered TO
Bonaparte by the allied armies of Rus
