be made since March has gone into liqui-
dation-is in a bankrupt state and not
able to pay mill on the dollar. Into the
discard go all the reverberatory ap-
peals which Senator Hitchcock has en-
ployed his voice to express. The tomtom
he has beaten is in strips and gives back
no further sound. For Senator Hitch
ing becoming an anti-ratificationist is
an acknowledgment that he has been
engaged in pushing a fraud.
1t is not credible that the Senator
from Nebraska will care, when he thinks
further on the matter, to present himself
as an eater Of all his words He will not
take the responsibility of defeating both
the peace treaty and the covenant simply
because the antiquities Of the covenant
are removed and it is made honestly clear
that this country is not to surrender it's
liberty of action.
He knows as we'll as any one that the
proposed reservations leave untouched
al the affirmative good of the covenant
scheme; that with the reservations, quite
as much as without them, an interna-
tional debating council will be estab-
lished and commissions appointed whose
functionings may habituste the world to
the practice Of concert Of action.
The last arrow thus drawn from the
quiver of opposition is dull of point and
broken of shaft 1t will frighten no one.
Moreover, it is likely there is enough
vitality left in the league of peace idea,
however much it has been buffeted by
the ineptitudes of it's pretended cham
pions, to prevent forty Democratic Sena-
tors becoming open treaty killers.

Sparrow Instinct
To the Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In Madison Square Park SUNDAY af
ternoon a flock Of English sparrows were
feeding or one OF the lawns, when an auto
mobile tire blew out on Fifth Avenue You
know this sound is remarkably like that of
shotgun. The sparrows took fight at
once and did not alight until they had
reached the extreme end of the park
This struck me as an unusual instance of
the persistence Of inherited instinct in birds
1t has probably been twenty-five or more
generations since the ancestors of these par
ticular sparrows learned to fear the sound
of a gun-and yet they were off like n shot
at the report; did not hesitate the fraction
of a second
Birds in natural state do not fear cx.
plosvc sounds. 1t is not until they have
connected such sounds with bodily harm that
they learn to fee instantly when they hear
them. That these sparrows in the park, who
were born in the neighborhood and who never
saw or heard real shotgun, should have
mistaken the sound of the blow out for tha,
of gun, and acted accordingly. was really
unusual. CASTNER BROWDER

She dwelt among us seven days
Upon a Harlem street,
A maid whose pies were none to praise,
And very few to eat.
A Polack by a kitchen sink

Could fairer be than that?
She drew her pay; we do not know
What caused her animus;
But she has fed away, and, oh,

Perhaps Mrs. Wilson, when she read to
the President the other day, read "A set Of
books from the citizens Of Genoa" one of
the gifts Mr.. Wilson received when he was
in Italy. But what books we're they? The
author deserves what advertisement and
honor may come to him from such thing
New-York tribune., 1919-10-08

1t would be just our luck, we imagine,
that if Mrs. Wilson should read to the
President from one Of our collections of
Imperishablc Idyls, the story would say.
"Mr. Wilson was fascinated by the verses,
from book containing them, which Mrs.
Wilson read to him over and over again
