SPARROWS' NESTS IN A SHIP
Attracted by Grain and Not at All AZ.
fected by Noise, Birds Make
Home There.

A large tramp steamer had been
towed into northeast coast port for
repairs. After having discharged her
cargo of grain, she was placed in a
dry dock, situated in the middle of
large ship-repairing establishment,
with all the usual accompaniment of
noise from pneumatic hammers, steam
whistles, shouting of men, and other
noises common to all such works.
The grain, of which there Is always
a good deal left about after the holds
are swept up, attracted the sparrows
in large numbers, and, as If guided by
instinct, they commenced to build
nests in various parts of the ship.
Undeterred by the noise or by the
constant going and coming of the
,workmen, they reared their broods
before the repairs were completed,
and the vessel sailed. This is believed
to be unique case, for although the
sparrow is a bold bird, it needed some
pluck to undertake home building in
such circumstances. The workmen adj
mired the pluck of these boisterous,
cheeky birds, and watched the proceed
ings to the flight of the young birds
with great interest.

GERMANY STILL SEEKING
TO DOMINATE COMMERCE

Boston, Mass, Dec. 30.-Germany's
wartime plans for after-the-war COM
mercial supremacy were described by
A. Mitchell Palmer, Alien Property
Custodian, today at luncheon of the
Boston Chamber of Commerce.
Palmer told of what has been ac-
complished by the United States in
wedding out Germany's hold on Amer
ica's commercial interests, and de-
clared for decree of absolute di-
vorce between German capital and
American industry"
Before this country's entrance into
the war, he said, most of the great
American-owned industrial establish
ments were spy centers, "filled with
agents Of Germany, long plotting
against the safety Of the United
States.
"They are a part of the great Ger
man plan for the military and com.
mercial domination of the world" he
continued 81 hope to be able to say
when peace is finally declared that
there is no longer any influential Ger
man interests in this country; that
every particle of German ownership
in our industries have been wiped out.
"The sale of Gcrman-owned or con-
trolled business in this country is
one of the most important battles in
the commercial war that Germany has
planned. With all German interest in
this country eliminated, the American
business man still has a fight on his
hands. have it from German sources
that Germany's plan for commercial
aggression, once the treaty of peace
is ratified, has been prepared with
such minute detail that no market in
the world has been left untouched"
Palmer said there can be no ques-
ton of the legality of the policy of
the Alien Property Custodian to con-
tinue to sell and liquidate enemy
owned businesses in the United States.
