sPARROWs' NESTS IN A SHIP
Attracted by Grain and Not at All At
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 q
dry dock, situated in the middle of a
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 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.

Observation-Disclosures


Swinemunde-at least, they were no
better. Along the sides Of the rooms
were long shelves or benches. and
every three feet were boards set In
grooves. The shelves were what we
had to sleep on, and the boards in the
grooves divided them up so that only
a certain number of men could use
each bench.
The following morning we nearly
dropped dead when the Huns pulled
in large wagon full Of clothing. We
thought we never would have any
thing to wear but our underclothes.
They issued to each man pair of
trousers, thin model, thin coat
about like the seersucker coats some
people wear in the summer, an over
coat about as warm as If it had been
made Of cigarette papers, skull cap
and pair of shoes. which were a

punish the nations that have commit
ted the most terrible crimes known to
modern times, at least, by making the
people of these nations work only that
they may pay.
Among the saddest sights to be
found in the battle areas of Europe
today is the lonely grave, the little
cross that stands by itself and marks
the spot where a soldier met death by
a stray shell. There were many, many
thousands of these seen along the
sides of the thousand miles of road
ways / covered in Belgium and north
ern France, and in very many cases
they marked the spot where German
shell had caught transport driver as
ne guided his truck to or from the
front. The boys who lie in these lone
ly graves were heroic American boys,
heroic French boys, heroic British
boys, and they have paid the great
price that the Boche might not de-
stroy the freedom of the world. They
gave their all, and whatever the Boche
may be made to pay will be small In
comparison with this sacrifice.
Near what was the city of Noyon
one may see striking comparison be-
tween the methods of the Boche and
those of the nations that have been
fighting the Germans. Here lie buried
side by side both French and German
soldiers. Around each cemetery the
French have built fence. Over each
French grave flies a French flag, and
on each German grave green boughs
have been placed by the French. Such

treatment for the German dead only
emphasizes the need that Germany
pay for the dissertation of the graves
of the allied soldiers committed by her
troops in France.
Further Display Of Impudence.
Just at the edge Of the little French
city of st. Mihiel, held by the Ger
mans for four years and retaken by
the American troops late last summer,
is a German cemetery that stands as
an insult to the French people. Here
are buried large number of German
officers. In this cemetery the German
government erected a magnificent
marble shaft commemorative the valor
of these German officers, and over the
graves stand elaborate marble and
granite monuments erected to the
memory Of these German officers.
These monuments have been erected
on what has always been French soil,
and they stand there as one of the
greatest pieces of impudence commit
ted by the German nation In this war.
This is but another Of the many,
many incidents that add to the seri-
BUSINESS of the crimes committed by
the Boche, and for which he should
pay.
A very considerable portion Of the
soil OF Belgium and northern France
is today given over to the graves Of
soldiers Of the allies, and these sol
der boys would not be dead, these
graves would not be there, millions of
homes would not today be in mourn
ing, had not a selfish people started a
war for the purposes of conquest and
loot; a war conducted with all the
wantonness and cruelty of savages.
Why should they not pay, and pay,
and pay, until they find that an un-
holy war, such as they waged, is the
most Improbable business in which
man can engage?

that might is right.
/ realized the tragic interest Of
America in these graves as walked
over the hilltop at Guillimont farm,
near the village of Bony, and found
there two large cemeteries in which
American dead lie buried. realized
it anew as Gen. Henry Rawlinson,
commanding the Fourth British army,
recounted to me the incidents of that
battle in which American troops made
the first break in the Hindenburg line,
and when he told me of the wonderful
gallantry Of those American boys, "the
most gallant troops that ever fought
on battlefield
Today more than 1000 Of those gal
liant American boys are buried in sol
der graves on that battlefield, and lit
tie wooden crosses mark their resting
places.
Severe Lesson for Germany.
German money cannot pay for those
lives, but that spirit of greed, Of wan
tonness, OF selfish ambition, that pro:
duced the senseless, needless war in
which they died. must be crushed, and
it can be crushed only by making the
German pay, and pay, and pay, until
he has learned that might is not right
and that war for the purposes Of con-
quest and domination is not profitable.
An American regiment, to which i
had belonged some years ago, and in
which were enrolled many personal
friends, had fought on that field. AS
walked beside the. long rows Of
wooden crosses, and knew that some
of them marked the resting places Of
my friends, felt, as any other Ameri-
can would have felt under the same
conditions, that Germany. must pay in
order that Germany should learn that
might is not right.
am sure that every father, every
mother, every brother, every sister,
every relative and friend of those
American boys who are buried on Eu-
ropean battlefelds will feel that Ger
many must pay and pay heavily for
the desolation she has caused through
out the world.
There is on the Somme battlefelds,
not far from what once was the beau
tiful little city Of Peronne, soldiers
cemetery in which British troops are
buried. On each little wooden cross
had been painted the name Of the sol
der buried beneath it, as well as the
letter of his company and the number
of his battalion. In the onrush of the
Huns last March this cemetery was
taken, and the wanton cruelty Of the
Boche is nowise better illustrated than
by the fact that he went through that
cemetery and painted out the names
Of these British dead.
Should Pay 20 the Limit
Should the Boche not pay for such
dastardly work as that? Should he
not pay for attempting to deprive the
relatives and friends of those British
soldiers Of knowing their final resting
place, even though, thanks to the Brit
fish graves commission, the attempt
will not be successful He must pay
the penalty just as any other criminal
must pay the penalty for his crimes.

Homes Help Community.

A wealthy Englishman once said
that q good home was an institution
for civilizing community, and in
stead Of surrounding his own home by
a high hedge, like many in the vicin-
ity, he built about it an open fence,
SO that whoever passed, rich or poor,
might enjoy the beauty Of house and
lawn and garden. 1t is good thing
for the girls of today who are to be
the home makers of tomorrow, to
grow up with the idea that the home
owes something to the community.
