men told me the other day of the
~ excitement caused among q flock
of crows by the appearance of
big navy dirigibe that flew over the park
Black James Crow is bold and a mighty
wise bird and he is afraid of nothing
feathered that flies. I've seen flock drive
hawk for miles, calling him names, dart
ing at his back bluffng him with dire
threats of vengeance. But the dirigible
was new one and the crows kept at a very
respectful distance. The size of the monster
with its terrible whirrng wings was some
thing new and menacing in the crow world
He called the clan, however, and they flew
after 1t cawing, making the woods ring with
the alarm signal.
| have seen the pigeons flying in terror
from an aeropane over the city and no
doubt many of the migrating birds on their

such terrible buzzing noise and fly so
swiftly. For the crows, I'm willing to bet
their observers will sight the humans in

Thousands of birds are on their way
from the South and every day now we are
apt to see an old friend returned or make
a new acquaintance among birds heretofore
unobserved.
Many people think they must go to the
country to see birds; but, as a matter of
fact, you will a greater variety in our
city parks than you will in the country. On
their migratons they fly over our cities
and, looking down on the open spaces of
Central Park, or even OH city squares, they

of our regular summer residents build
homes in Central Park, and Bronx Park is
peopled in spring and summer with hun
dreds of feathered folk who find abundant
bugs and seeds there to supply their table.

Say Civil Service
Board Merely is a
Postoffice Adjunct

Washington, Sept. 6.-Upon his re-
tirement TODAY from the civil service
commission, Charles M. Galloway is
sued, statement declaring that he
and Herman w. Craven, the repub-
lican member of the commission, were
"ousted" because they "were not will
ing that the commission should be a
mere adjunct to the postoffice depart
ment and subservient to it, especially
with reference to examinations for
presidential postmasters."
Galloway and Craven were asked
to resign just before President Will
son returned to the peace conference
in March. The letters were said to
have contained no reason for the re-
quest, but it was said at the White
House that it was the presidents
purpose to re-organize the commits
sion. Martin A. Morrison, of Indiana
and George R. Wales Of Vermont, were
appointed new members of the COM
mission.

II Feet in Height,
Found i'm Michigan

Jackson, Mich, Sept. 6.-What
is thought to be the body of a
prehistoric man, II feet in
length, was found buried in the
yard Of "a jackson policeman
while excavating work was being
done there Friday.
The body, it is said, by physic-
ians who examined it, is in
perfect state of preservation,
even to the hair on the head and
the teeth which show no signs of
decay. The physicians gave it
as their opinion that the body
was genuine.
The spot where the body was
was found was occupied till
few years ago by a large
mound Of earth, it was said, and
specimens of petrified animal
and vegetable matter have been
found there, supporting the
prehistoric man theory.
The legs of the body are six
feet long; the arms four. The
head is round with a face nearly
flat, while the skin is tightly
drawn and resembles brown
leather. A stake, ,a'otted, protrud-
ed from the chest of the body
which appeared mummified.

the South organize for the purpose
of furnishing credits to Europe, to
create a market for 100000 bales
of export cotton to be available
from this years crop. Senator
Bankhead, democrat of Alabama, is
sued a statement tonight saying the

With foreign leads approaching ten
billions, he said, the government
would have to leave the problem to
private enterprises in the south.
The European countries are not

said, adding that it was clear to him
that if distressing conditions were to
be avoided, "it is necessary for the
south to organize strong, well dl-
rected movement to supply European
nations with credits in terms Of dol
lars" so that they can pay without
excessive premiums due to high ex-
change rates for cotton shipped to
them. Action, he said, must be TAX

ARE ON LARGE SCALE
Between $17,000,O00 and S2O,0OO. 900
OF Goods Illegally Cross Bor-
der Annually, Charges DR..
p. 3. Altendorf.

New York, Sept. 6.-Between ST.
100000 and $20,000,O0O worth of
goods are struggled annually across
the Mexican border, more than one
fourth of which are arms, and am
munition, according to a statement
here today by the National Associa-
ton for the Protection of American
Rights in Mexico, quoting DR.. P. B.
Altendorf, former member of the
United States military intelligence
department, as authority.
Responsibility for the "deviltries"
of Villa and other bandits was placed
by Altendorf at the door of Ameri-
can manufacturers of arms and am
munition, who "work hand in hand
with the smugglers.' incidentally,
he declared, a renegade American
was responsible for the attack on
American troops at Carrizal in June.
1916, when two American officers and
10 men were killed, and % wounded.
DR.. Altendorf said that the Mexicans
who made the attack were short of
ammunition at the time but obtained
supplies through the renegade, who,
he claimed. struggled $165,00O worth
across the border prior to the attack
Villa smuggles over so per cent of
his munitions" DIR. Altendorf said.
off that part of his supplies were cut
off, he would be forced out for he
could hardly keep Going on the 40 per
cent he buys from Carranzistas
Doesn't it look as if responsibility
for Villas devilitries came pretty
close to the American manufacturers
and dealers who supply the so per
cent? And, as the Carranzistas are
worse. if that be possible, than the
Villistas, and as they in common
with other bandits down there, must
now also depend entirely upon
smuggling for supplies, does not the
whole Mexican situation create a
somewhat embarrassing question of
ethics for these same manufacturers
and dealers ?"
Shipped as Drugs.
The renegade American mentioned
by DR.. Altendorf was said by him
to be an agent Of Mexican Consul
Cara at Brownsville, Texas, and also
to be a confidential envoy of Car
rama while at one time he acted for
Won Eckhardt, the German ambassa-
dor to Mexico City, who was in
volved in the scheme for an attack on
the United States bv Mexico and
Japan. This man is declared to
have bought $4,000 worth Of nickel
in August, 1917, to prevent it falling
into the hands of the Americans.
DR.. Altendorf said that there was
one big drug store in Brownsville,
which received shipments of am
munition in boxes marked drugs"
and that another dodge resorted to
by the smugglers was to conceal am
munition in water melons so as to
get it past the customs officials.
CASUALLY" he said, "it does not seem
worth while to take so much trouble.
for there are such long stretches of
unguarded territory that nothing
much but laziness need drive SNUG
gler to take such risks"
AS an evidence that at present
Villa is rather hard pressed, DR..
Altendorf declared that in March Of
the present year, the bandits wife
pawned her jewelry in San Antonio
for $4,000, and used the money to
pick up bargain in ammunition.
