Board. No foreign vessel can be char
tered TO an American citizen without
the Shipping Boards approval. After
charter has been approved no devia-
tons from the terms of charter are
permitted without the approval Of the
board. Severe penalties are provided
for any violation.
The Shipping Board already has a
chartering committee, with Offices in
New York This committee has been at
work for nearly year, but. in cnforc-
ing it's orders. it has had TO rely on
pressure asserted through the control
Of bunker licenses. However, it is now
given direct authority. backed up by
effective criminal penalties.
The chartering regulations issued to-
day do not cover vessels on the Great
Lakes. or inland canals or rivers, or
vessels engaged in the coastwise trade.

Was Moving Forward
Under a Violent Fire

General Charles Sibille's death is
told as follows:
"Contributed to the success Of the
Battle OF Rozelieures in usefully di-
recting operations of his brigade
and giving all the example Of cour-
age and sangfroid; killed before
Seicheprey at the moment he was
der violent FIRE, to examine the po-
sition of St. Baysant, which he had
received orders to attack"
General ]. B. Albert Moussy, com
mander Of an infantry brigade, is
cited:
Gave the best example in going
forward bravely at the critical mo-
ment of an action, with an officer
and his staff. in front Of the artil-
lery and infantry lines, gathering
his men to the attack. throwing the
enemy back and regaining. at the
head of his forces, some. trenches
momentarily lost"
General des Valliercs, commander
OF division recently engaged. is
cited:
enlarged in August, 1917, with his
division TO execute hcult attack.
He executed it we'll and conquered
his detectives. In the course of re-
cent lighting, attacked by very So
perior forces and surrounded on one
of his TANKS, ne held well and re-
pulsed all attacks, going to the scene
in full battle, coordinating the ac-
ton Of troops engaged and exalt-
ing the courage Of all and their con-
fdence by his presence and his per-
sonal action
Much space might be filed with sim
liar citations OF rot only generals, but
those of the lesser poilu leaders. Blu.
the foregoing serve to amply illustrate
why the word "poilu" stands also for
bravery.

She .disliked most cordially q certain

BIRDS AND THEIR TOES
How the Art Of Standing Began
Birds That Perch and Those
That Run.

That Hun.
And let us note that the art OF
standing began with birds. Frogs sit,
and as far as | know every reptile, be
it lizard, crocodile, alligator or tor.
tose, lays its body on the ground
when not actually carrying it. And
these have each four fat legs Con
trast the flamingo, which. having on
ly two. and those like willow wands,
tucks upon one of them and sleeps
poised high on the other, like tulip
on its stem.
Note also that one toe has been al
together discarded by birds as super
fluous. The germ, or bud. must be
there, for the Dorking fowl has pro
duced a fifth toe under some influ'
ence of the poultry yard, but no nat
ural bird has more than four.
Except in swifts, which never perch,
but cling to rocks and walls, one is
turned backward. and by cunning
contrvance the act Of bending the
leg draws them all automatically to-
gether. So hen closes its toes at
every step it takes, as if 1t grasped
something and of course when it set
tlss down on its roost they grasp that
tight and hold it fast till morning
But to birds that do not perch this
mechanism is only an circumference
SO many of them. like the plovers
abolish the hind toe entirely, @ad the
prince of all two legged runners, the
ostrich has got rid OF one Of the front
toes also, retaining only two.
