PASSENGER PIGEONS SEEN.
A Flock Of 200 Reported by q Famous
Pennsylvania Wolf Hunter.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Siy:
take pleasure In sending you herewith
an extract from letter in regard 20
passenger pigeons which I have Just re-
ce!ved from C. ". Dickinson. the IA
nous wolf hunter OF northern Pennsyl-
vania, who has been spending the past
few years with his daughter in Con-
cord, Mass
In the fore part OF September, 1918,
as wa were going TO our war garden,
We saw flock of about 200 beautiful
passenger pigeons. There Is not "a pos
sible chance for us TO be mistaken about
these birds. for the sky was clear, the
sun shone bright and the birds passed
within $50 feet OF us. SO we had a fair
view OF them
The country there is practically
level and all cleared. so we could see
these birds a long distance They flew
IN n northerly direction until they were
nearly out OF our range OF vision. when
they circled 10 the left and came back
on the northwest side Of us and about
the same distance from us as they were
when they passed AZ first. but on the
opposite side. and We could plainly see
lHe WTlte OI lIe mems ana tUo
red breasts of the toms. These birds
are Il uniform color except The red and
white breasts OF the toms and hens.
when these birds are making a flight
they fly as steady as wild geese or
ducks They do not wabble or criss-
cross, but go straight ahead unless
something frightens them. Then. too.
they have the long pointed tail
"Of course there are rare exceptions
as to color. During our time we saw
ton or twelve spotted birds. Some OF
them are about white. During the latter
part OF the sos we saw a snow white
passenger pigeon ten or twelve different
times. We have photographs in our
memory of the passenger pigeon in all
stages that are as plain as the most
skilled photographer could have pro-
duced In a lifetime.
I'VE have seen billions of these birds
We have caught over 1000 dozen with
nets and We have shot thousands OF
them When a small boy We caugh;
hundreds of them In quail traps so TAX
ing our experience into consIdera tior
we think we ought 20 be able 10 tell a
flock OF passenger pigeons to-day, for
our memory Is good even II we are
growing old"

Our World War Trade.

Our war trade has put the world
so deeply into our debt that 1t must
take years to .extinguish 1t. In the
forty-eight months following 1914, the
year Germany broke the peace of
Europe, our exports exceeded our i'm
ports by more than fifteen billions
of dollars. For some OF this stupen-
dous buying our foreign customers
paid us with our own securities which
had been held abroad. For some they
paid US in. gold. For some they paid
US with their own securities; for
some with credits borrowed from our
own Government. Yet, with all the
means which our foreign customers
employed to make trade settlements
with US, it is astounding that the
thing ever could have been done.
1t is only by comparison with the
past that we can comprehend what a
thing was done when we sold abroad
more than six billions of goods in
1917 and again in 1918, buying from
! abroad In each OF those years an
average Of three billions Of dollars !;
when we sold more than five and a
half billions OF dollars in 1916, buy
Ing two and third billions of dol.
lars; when we sold more than three
and half billions Of dollars in 1915,
| buying more than one and three
quarter billions of dollars.
Only three years before the war
our exports had never yet touched
the figures Of two billions. Ten years
before the war they were not bill
ion and half. Twenty years be-
fore the war they were well under
one billion.
But what can make the comparison
more vivid than the war purchases
from us OF Canada, with q smaller
population than the State of New
York? To set forth the magnitude Of
the buying which Canada did in this
country, It is not enough to point out
that in both 1917 and 1913 that coun-
try bought more from us than from
all South America and Asia put To-
gether bought from US not far from
what all South America, Asia and
Oceania put together bought from US.
Canada bought from us In the cnl-
endar year Of 1917 Ss2S,919,971.
Canada bought from us In the cal.
endar year just closed SSS6, S4s,501
Think Of such purchases by Canada
with a population of scarcely more
than eight millions. when In 1895 the
whole world was not buying as much
from us In a year! Think Of Canada's
owing US on trade balance S413,O00,'
600 in 1917, S435, 100000 In 1918
when year after year within the dec
ade preceding the war We had lower
trade balances than that against the
combined countries of the globe!
Ten years ago our tmde balance
against the whole world was only
S253,677.OOO. The next year 1t wal
only 1903, 900. In the year of the
outbreak Of the war, 1914, It was only
1925, $50 900.
Look at our foreign trade figures
from another angle! In each OF tn
years OF 1917 and 1918 the hundred,
OF millions of population of the who'll,
world bought from us an average o
, six billions of dollsrs, but tho elgh

Mr.. Secretary BAKER forbade them

in this instance overlooks tho rather
material fact that the Congress OF the
United States consists of a Senate and
House OF Representatives. and that
therefore all members OF both bodies
are Congressman. When they are to
be classified as to the body to which
they belong they should be severally
designated, at least In official papers
