Gen. McManus now resumes his posi-
ton as director of troop movements.
When men arrive at Manhattan or Ho-
boken or Brooklyn, Gen. McManus de-
cides whether they shall be sent to
Camp Mills, Camp Merritt or else
where.
The staffs of these officers have
been working long hours every day
and many hours of the night handling
the returning troops. Though here
and there difficulties have arisen
through misunderstanding of privates
or minor officers still infused with the
rigidty of wartime regulations, these
difficulties have been smoothed out by
the commanding officers, and the mat
ter of meeting and greeting and han
ding the returning troops has been
done in the snloothest possible manner.

GooSEBoNE FoRECASTING
Prophet Thinks That Cold Weather
Will Last Well Into Spring.

l.. S. Sargent, Junction City, Kan,
has made his annual "gooScbone"
weather prophecy. 1t calls for steady
winter unvaried by periods Of milder
weather, and the low temperature will
last well into the spring. The breast
bone of the goose Is used in casting
the weather, the amount and location
of the dark coloring matter indicating
the period when winter weather may
be expected. Mr.. Sargent has been
keeping the goosebone weather records
for more than 80 years and claims for
the goosebone batting average of
1000 as a weather forecaster.

cicties.
Herbert c.. Hoover, as food admins
TRAITOR, had asked the American people
to protect the insect eating and mi.
gratory birds,
Increased acreage under cultivation
very naturally means more insects in
turn and the need of more birds to
combat them" says the Audubon So
cietieS' report. "Hence there has been
q still greater need for Audubon Serv-
ice, which Trough its many agencies
supplies Information and through its
wardens is protecting bird life"
Investigate Pelican.
II. Gilbert Pearson, executive head
of the association, at the request of
the food administration went to the
Southern Atlantic coast to investigate
complaint that the brown pelican was
destroying yalua bic food fish and there
fore should be eXterminated. His in.
vostigation in the pelican colonies from
Mexico to Key West showed the re.
ports libelled the pelican clan. He
says the $4,000 odd adult pelicans in
those colonies prey entirely on fish
that is not eaten by man and which
are destructive to the young of mar
ketabe species.
Another complaint was that the sea
gullS were despOling the sheep ranges
on the islands off the coast of Maine
An agent of the association investigat
ing the report found that on the con
trary the gulls were of material aid
in increasing vegetation.
The association was active in pre-
venting the destruction of the klamath
and Malhcur bird reservations in Ore
gon and California, which We're to have
been dsmanted and drained on the
plea that they were needed for farming
purposes. The birtbs which took refuge
there in the breeding season were
shown to he valuable cOnservators Of
grain and fruit, iustifying the use OF
the land as reserve.
Practical Use of Bird Life.
III. X. Job in charge of the depart
ment of applied ornithology, at his eH
perimcntal bird farm at Amaton, Conn.
made important Investigations showing
the practical use of bird life and dis
tributed his knowledge to landowners
through writings and lectures.
The work of the association will be
aided by the passage of the enabling
act of the migratory bird treaty, whicl
will afford means of protecting birds
on their way from the United States
to Canada. 1t is expected that the ACT
will become law now that world peace
will permit a more determined cam
paign in its favor.
Despite the distraction caused by the
war, the association has had healthy
growth in the fiscal year The move
ment to show the economic value OF
the work brought into the association
161 life members, large yearly in
crease. An addition of 10000 boys
and girls were enrolled in the C,-!9I
classes conducted throughout the ccun
try, work increased through the do
nations from the late Mrs. Rus >el,

For days there have been pouring
back to our shores tens Of thousands
Of khaki heroes. Their tales of war
adventure have thrilled the hosts Of
civilian newspaper readers. In the
glumor of their heroism there has been
lost to sight the less romantic, yet
equally essential, work OF other
branches of military service, repre-
sentatives Of which have returned
with the warriors and have received
but scant attention. For instance,
lied up at the army piers in HOboken
are two former Ward liners, now the
hospital ships Comfort and Mercy.
Each brought back to port In one week
upward of 400 badly injured soldiers,
many of whom were such desperate
cases that operations were necessary
while the ships were breasting terrific
seas on the way home.
The coast liners have been convert
ed from all semblance, except in out
ward lines, to passenger ships. Each

Equipped as Hospital.
The Communicated ships have lost
the scores Of magnificent staterooms
that delighted peace-time passengers.
Most of them have been ripped out to
make way for berths for wounded
men. The dining rooms have been
converted into wards. Reading and
smoking rooms have been made into
laboratories, and operating rooms,
dressing rooms, instrument lockers,
diSnfecting chambers, steriliZing
quarters, bandsge storerooms, etc.
On each of the vessels Is a large
operating room on the promenade
deck, lighted with fully half hun
dred bulbs and equipped with six op-
Grating tables. Adjoining is smaller
room where minor operations are per-
formed.
Separate wards have been estab-
lshed for eye, ear and nose cases, for
surgical patients, contagious diseases
and for minor ailments.
The medical personnel Of each Of
the hospital ships, an aggregate Of for
ty for both, comprises expert special
lists who have volunteered for navy
service during the war and who have
been doing superb work in emergen-
cies on the sea.
Neither of the ships was originally
intended to transport wounded men
home. Both were sent to foreign wa

our fleets, TO be in readiness to re-
ceive wounded cases Immediately af-

To have lived through the great war
and not to know that it was going on
is the most unusual record of Mrs.
Berthe Spand0u, eishty-nine yeas old,
German by birth, now living i'll NeW
York. Her age kept her son from
telling her about the horrors of the in
vasion of Belgium and of the sinking
of the LuSitania. He didn't wish her
to worry and fret
But the day of the peace demon
straton made it impossible to keep
silent. The old lady heard the
whistles blowing and the crowds
cheering, and she demanded to know
what it was all about, When they
told her she raised her hands III Il ges'
ture of imprecation and said:
"Oh, if only | could get these two
hands on that kaiser!"
Oppressive Taxes.
Mrs. Spandau lived in Richen-
walde, which is little town Of about
1000 people. According to her de-
scription and that of her son it Is
much like the German towns that you
used to see on the stage in the days
before they were haniShcd from 1t.
There were carved wooden houses and
st0rkS and narrow streets and town
hall and a bclfry with a SWeet-toned
bell.
But this was not all. There were
ln
six children German taxes are moth
Ing to be laughed at. If you cannot
pay them an officer or an under offl'
Ger comes into the house ana
looks over all your things. If you
have two clocks, says Mrs. Spandau
or two tables or even two chairs, the
tax officers take one of them. IheS
hold them for q few days and then If
you still do not pay, the things are sold
Mt auction and you may be sent tC
prison.
If your children are not sent to
school, and it Is not always easy TO
do this when there is nothing for
them to eat, you or your husband may
We set to work for the govern
ment breaking stones or choppine
wood, and again you may be sent to
prison.
Not Happy Life.
Besides this, Mrs. Spandau said,
her husband was German soldier
Evidently, even in those days, a Ger
man soldier did not have happy life
Mrs. Spandau said he was in such
fear of the government that he made
her promise, before he died, that none
of his five sons would ever wear the
gray uniform. They never did, Sol
Spandau explained, though there Is
nephew wearing the United States uni
form over in France.
Mrs. Spandau was disgusted by the
kaiser's flight to Holland. She asks
what have the kaiser and his six sons
done that they draw salary of 60OO,'
600 marks from the day they are
born, while other babies have to work
for their living. And who pays for
all the richness but the German peo
Pile?
"No one" said Mr.. Spandau, the
son, "has been more patriotic than die
mutter. She says that she Is sorry
that her sons are all too old to &C
and that her grandchildren are all
daughters.
