167 IN MARCH

IN n the subject of. litera-
VI ture the East Oregonian
will confess to parti-
ality for news stories like the
United Press report yesterday
telling of the destruction of 167
German airplanes thus far in
March.
The evil days have overtaken
the U-boat, while the German
factories must be kept working
overtime to supply the places
of the machines the allied forc-
es are destroying. In recent
days the German air fleets have
been coming down like showers
of meteors, while British de-
stroyers and patrol boats are
taking good account of the SUBJ
marines. This character of
reading seems to be coming in

THE USEFUL SPARROW.
One Pair XIII $500 CaterpillaFs
Weekly in Feeding Their Young.

A protest against wholesale sparrow
slaughter is justified on purely econ
omic grounds. II has been calculated
from careful observation that pair
of sparrows during the period of feed
ing their young destroy about $500
week, besides other in
sects.
The iavages of those caterpillars
would have been more serious than
those OF the sparrow family which fed
on them. IT was. in fact, proved that
the small bird clubs so common
during part of the last century, did
more harm than good.

A Chance Now for Free Poland.
From the London Spectator.

It may be said by the doubters that
rs Poland was unable to defend herself
IN the Eighteenth century, there is little
likelihood Of her being able to do SO in
the future. But there IS no reason to as
sumo that a fatal weakness is inherent
in the Polish character. Poland was
broken up by her neighbors because she
had the worst constitution ever devised
by man. The nobility m~onopolized politi-
cal power, the peasantry were serfs. and
there was no large middle class to give
cohesion to the social fabric. Even In
Poland's death throes the mobiles de-
clined to accord equal rights to the peas
ants. though the abortive constitution of
1871 promised them reforms. Kosciuszko,
fresh from America. astonished and dis
tressed his fellow mobiles by calling upon
the ~peasantry to rise in defense Of their
native land. and with these i'll armed
countrymen he gained a victory over
the Russians before he was overwhelmed
by numbers. Until 1863 the alien con-
querors were able, with no small success,
to play off the Polish p%easantry against
their old oppressors. the mobiles. 1t is
hardly surprising that a nation thus
sharply divided should ave succumbed
for the time. But the abolition of serf-I
dom and the rise of modern industry
have transformed the situation. and the
1esolute efforts of the Polish nationalist

The Poison.

When peace has come, that boon
elating. and battle flags are furled, I
hope there'll be an end of hating
throughout this warsick world. Let
us get mad. II things demand 1t, and
raise a rumpus great; but anger. as I
understand 1t. Is different from hate. II
I am injured by my neighbor. I lie in
wait for him: his swaybacked carcass
l belabor. and end him limb from
limb: but when our little scrap is ended
we are good friends n more. and he,
with s~portsmaship that's splendid,
slides dow my cellar door. We have
no time for foolish hating. we have to
do u chores. that we may both main
tain III rating for credit at the stores.
It's hat that keeps the world un-
settled. and makes peace efforts vain;
a lot of kings. stalled and melted,
have hatred on the brain. They don't
get busy cultivating or pruning grow
ing things: they sit around their throne
rooms hating and cussing other kings.
One reason why I hope the Teuton may
meet a crushing fate is that he's al
ways at US shootin' his talk of DEATH
less hate. And vainly will the Teut
endeavor U friendship to regain. un-i
til he cuts out hate forever. and shows
he's safe and sane.

That the British naval men have not

any confidence in the honor of the men

less warfare against them was shown
plainly enough by the elaborate precau-
tions taken by Admiral Tyrwhitt while
receiving the first flotilla of German
submarines to be surrendered. He elimi-
mated all possibilities either OF injury to
his own vessels and their crews or of
losing by a last piece of characteristic
trickery and desperation the prizes that
were coming at last into his hands.
Instead, the British admiral met the
undersea boats with a force of British,
ships of overwhelming strength. and he
compelled the German crews to remain
