The young bird has to learn how to
do things just as small boys and girls
do, although not exactly in the same
way.
One of the first lessons he learns is
how to fly. He really knows how to
do this, but needs practice until his
wings grow strong enough to carry him
through the air. Many young birds
begin this practice before they leave
the nest. have often seen nesting
beating and beating his wings without
stirring an inch from his tiny home.
You have heard perhaps that the
father and mother birds push their ba-
bies out of the nest. Do not believe
any such thing because it is not true.
| have seen many young birds leave
the nest of their own accord, but never
one pushed out Sometimes the moth
er may coax her children, but often
they fly out while the parents are
away finding food.
After the young bird leaves the
nest his father and mother follow and
feed him; for he does not yet know
how to feed himself. This is the next
lesson he has to learn. He must also
know where to sleep. and how to pro-
tect himself from all the other crea-
lures that want to catch him and eat
him. Then he must be able to sing,
and no doubt there are many other les
sons for him to learn that we do not
know about.
Once had good chance to watch
two young blue jays learn to get their
own living. After they left the nest

they lived in little grove, where I

the parents would hurry up with
grasshopper or some other insect to
stuff into the wide-open mouths. They
were fed choke-cherries too. These
little wild cherris grew on big tree
IN the grove.

the little ones were Matched.
The twins, who were quite as large
as their parents now.s did not try to
pull any of the fruit from the trees,
although it grew all about, and they
had often seen it done. They sat idIy

sible. The American Government has
done all II can to help us. 1t promised

plies necessary for the next two months
II Is to be hoped the allied governments
will assist us p-oportionately. The aid
Of the British Government In this re-
spect has not yet been effective. but In
few days from now we shall be able
to receive supplies by the Elbo. We
should be exceedingly grateful TO Great
Britain II she would make herself re-
sponsible for her allotted share OF 25 TO
20 per cent OF what We need for the
next three or four months. This as
sistance is absolutely necessary. and for
the moment the British Government is
the only one which can give It, The
British authorities have shown them
selves very favorably disposed toward
us In this respect II the measures
suggested are taken we certainly shall
save order and discipline in our cour-
try"
These views are interesting. as they
are In accord with those held by political
circles we'll qualified to Judge the situa-
ton In Central Europe. In military
quarters hopes are expressed that the
allies will not forget what a powerful
mission they have In their hands in the
combined air forces of the Entente. BY
means Of strong aerial concentration In
Austria and Bohemia the Magyars could
be held under such a threat as would
give pause TO any Bolshevist aspirations.

to sign the peace preliminaries.
"Bolshevist Hungary must be isolated
| This Is fairly easy. The frontiers OF
the three neighbors OF Hungary, that
is to say Bohemia, Rumania and Jugo-
Slavia, ought to be demarcated Inn
mediately. The territorial commissions
OF the Peace Conference have finished
their work and there Is no reason why
matters should not be settled at once
and the respective Governments In
formed accordingly. They would then
be sovereign in such and such regions,
and be responsible for order there.
Second. This ILLUMINATION Ia most
urgent at the points Of contact between
the Czecho-slovaEs. Rumanlans and
Jugo-Slavs, who completely surrounded
the Magyars and cut them completely
from Eastern Galic!a and Russia. In
this way the Bolshevist of the Ukraine
and Russia would be prevented from
the penetration of Hungary. Both Bo-
hemia and Rumania have sufficient
troops for this purpose.
Third. The Allies might point out i'm
nediately to the German-Austrian re-
public that all food supplies would stop

In Hungary and IL she does not break
OF relations which might possibly assist
the Bolshevist movement In Budapest
or favor it's spread In Austria.
Finally one can threaten the Mag
vars themselves with the refusal OF all
food supplies.
These would be provisional meas
ures, and l think they would be eff
fectual. All the neighboring states as
soon rs their frontiers were settled
would be interested in maintaining or
der and preventing any attempt at the
Bolshevtzation of their territory. Fur

Entente to make use OF for military ar

politicians whose plans in the war have
met with complete failure.
The complete Bolshevisation OF Gen.
trail Europe may be regarded as a real
menace. In Berlin, In Saxony and in
Bavaria Spartacism Is very dangerous.
In Budapest Magyar Bolshevism he's
triumphcd completely. In Vienna there

my opinion Poland also will not en-
tircly escape.
Thus bit by bit Bohemia, the most in
dustrial coGntry Of central Europe, is
becoming threatened with complete iso-
latton from all communication with
western Europe and all chance OF being
revictualled by the Allies Our working
glasses are numerous and they are not
TED. Those responsible for this war, the
Germans, Austrians and Magyars, see
to-day what the Peace Conference Is
preparing. and that It's decisions newt
ably win fall on those who provoked the
world war. From the point, OF view Of
territory Austria-Hungary and Turkey
VIII be broken UP and the oppressed peo-
pies liberated. From a financial and eco
non1ic point Of view the authors of the
war VIII be obliged to repair the dam
ages they have caused. Thus Justice
overtakes them.
TO escape these consequences they
cling to Bolshevism for salvation. They
tell themselves they have nothing to lose,
either from a territorial or social point
OK view, because they are already ruined
politically and economically
Hungary Is the most striking exam
pie OF this policy. Some time back
Count Karoiyi himself threatened the
Allies that Hungary would submit to a

not left intact To-day she is execut-

the Magyars always have done.
