OF INTEREST TO
OUR BIRD LOVERS

/. Freeman F. Burr of this city. bird
lover, hands the Journal the follow
ing, saying: TO many in this neigh
borhood who are interested in the
birds, the following notes compiled
by f. H. Forbush. state ornithologist
OF Massachusetts, under date Of
March Is. may offer some encourage
ment, since the conditions as regard
ing birds are about the same in that
state as in Maine:"
There have been signs of bird mi j.
grafton from Florida to Eastport,
Maine, but in the Middle States the
spring movement is regarded as
about two weeks behind time If
spring birds seem scarce, let not the
watcher be discouraged. From
South Carolina to New Jersey the
birds are coming. Many bluebirds
have already left the south and are
now in the middle states. In Mary
land en- the 18th juneos were re-
ported in great focks. bluebirds were
more abundant locally than at any
time in the observers experience;
fox sparrows were seen in small
focks, tree sparrows and song spar
rows were very abundant, red
winged blackbirds were moving
north in large flocks at great
heights; purple graclzles had ap-
peared and a few Canada geese were
flying northward. On the same day
fox sparrows. grackles and red
winged blackbirds arrived in large
numbers on the coast Of northern
New Jersey. Some of these birds
may be in New England now"

THE STORY OF
TOM SKEYHILL

There are many lecturers, but only
one Tom Skeyh;n. OF him the late
Theodore Roosevelt said: Il am
prouder TO be on the platform with
Tom Skeyhiil than with any other
man living. He is the greatest SOL
der speaker in the world"
So impressed was President VIII
son with -Skeyhii"s natchless elo.
Quence that at the conclusion Of one
Of his speeches, the President arose
and saiuted the young orator
Al the age Of eighteen, Tom Skey-
hill vas an unknown country lad in
a small village in Australia. When
war broke out, he promptly enlisted
Travelled 5000 miles to the battle
fields OF Europe, fought on four bat
tie fronts through the blooiiest
struggle Of the war was twice des-
perateiy wounded and was invaded
home blind and helpless.
AS q soldier he had more hair
breadth escapes from death and has
undergone more thrilling experien-
ces than the most notorious charac-
ters in fiction
Skeyhill's urguenchable spirit
would not allow him to keep still
He literally fired Australia with the
torch Of his impassioned eloquence,
and his success vas sensational.
Coming to America to speak in the
interests Of the war loans, he fairly
ripped New York up the back, night
after night packing the famous Car
negie Hall from floor to ceiling
Since then he has spoken in ali the
big cities packing the largest audi
forums. He has been featured as a
star Of stars with Wilson, Taft,
Roosevelt and other prominent
speakers. After coming to this coun-
try his sight was miraculously re-
stored by American surgeons.
Tom Skeyhill saw the war as a
poet. He saw its grandeur. it's won
der, it's beauty and it's awe but not
its horror. and never is his story
