way to the easement, with the aid of
two ropes which spanned his room,
they came to him, lighting on his
wrists and hands and clamoring for
the seeds and crumbs which he was
wont to feed them. Indeed, little Bob
Moran soon learned the. pretty lingo
of every feathered tribe that camped
in the garden. He could sound the
pan pipe of the robin, the fairy flute
of the oriole, the noisy guitar Of the
bObOlink and the little pfccolo of the
song sparrow. Many of these dear
friends of his came into the room and
explored the rubber tree and sang in
its branches. A colony of barn swal-
lows lived under the caves of the old
weathered shed on the far side of the
garden. There were many windows,
each with saucy head looking out
of 1t. Suddenly half a dozen of these
merry people would rush into the air
and fill 1t with their frolic. They were
like lot of laughing schoolboys skat-
ing over invisible hills and hollows.
With a pair of field glasses, which
Mrs. Croker had loaned to him, Bob
Moran had learned the nest habits of
the whole summer colony In that Won
derful garden. All day he sat by the
open window with his work, an. air
gun at his side. The robins would
shout a warning to Bob when cat
strolled into that little paradise. Then
he would drop his brushes, seize his
gun sand presently its missile would
go whizzing through the air, straight
against the side of the cat, who, feel
ing the sting of it, would bound
through the flower beds and leap over
the fence to avoid further punish
ment. Bob had also made an electric
searchlight out of his fathers old
hunting jack and, when those red
breasted policemen sounded their
alarm at night he was out Of bed in a
jiffy and sweeping the tree tops with
broom of light, the jack ON his
forehead. If he discovered q pair of
eyes, the singing missiles flew toward
them in the light stream until the in
truder was dislodged Indeed, he was
like shepherd of old, keeping the
wolves from his flock. It was the
parish priest who first called him the
Shepherd of the Birds.
Just opposite his window was the
stub of an old pine partly covered
with Virginia creeper. Near the top

TO HOLD PRO-GERMAN MEETS
Sessions Alleged for Purpose of Pro-

PrO-German meetings planned for
The near future in a number of cit
les in the East and Middle West will
be closely watched by the American
Legion, according to national head
Quarters of the ex-serviee mems or

it Is understood, will be held for the
purpose of protesting against the re-
ported presence of negro colonial
troops in the French army of occu-
patton, despite the fact that the troops
IN question were withdrawn many
months ago.
Cities in which the meetings are
scheduled are Milwaukee, Omaha,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Louisville.
Chicago, Cleveland and fSew York. 1t
Is understood that Dr.. Edmund Won
Mach, who was rebuffed at Washing
ton, D. G., in an effort to enlist the
aid of F. w. Galbrafth, .Jr., Legion ma
tional commander, in the project, and
George Sylvester Vierick, notorious
Boche magazine editor, are among the
hyphenated Americans who are spon-
soring the movement.
A bulletin from Legion national
headquarters, warning state head
quarters to watch for an attempt to
revive German propaganda and to ere.
ate sentiment in America hostile ia
the allies, has been sent out, and
steps have been taken by national Off
Gals to influence the Department OF
Justice to prohibit the meetings.
"A recurrence of German propa
sanda activity in this country is some
thing the Legion has been watching
for for some time," said Lemue

to a movement of this kind will com.

LEGION MEN HIT BY RULING
National Judge Advocate Decides or.
aanization officer Ineligible If
Holding Public Office.

A decision of far-reaching inpo--
tance as affecting the participation in
politics of men holding office in the
American Legion has just been hand
ed down by Robert A. Adams, ma
tional judge advocate of the Legion, in
response to an inquiry from the Inter-
Post COUNCIL of Los Angeles, Cal.
AT it's annual election held gin De-
cember a Los Angeles post elected
Claiming Toilette as commander for
1921. a short time afterwards Fol-
lette was appointed justice of the
peace by the board of supervisors Of
Los Angeles county.
The question arose whether, in view
Of the fact that Toilette had been ap-
pointed to an Office which, In It's ma
ture, except in the matter of filling
vacancies, is an elective, salaried pub
lie office, he was eligible to serve as
an officer of the Legion.
In his official ruling, the national
judge advocate says:
This being salaried, elective pub
lie Office, it is my opinion that the
method of filling vacancy is not es-
sential in determining the eligibility
of a Legionaire holding such Office.
The office is elective, although the case
with which we deal is that of an APP
pointment.
"'rhe purpose of the constitutional
provision is. of course, to prevent, so
far as possible, the use by member
of the Legion of his Legion member
ship in furthering a political career
Consequently, the effect of an ap-
pointment is In no wise dissimilar
from an election, and it Is my opinion
that the incumbent is, by the accept
ance of his Office, rendered ineligible
for the office of the American Legion"
1t is believed that many Legion
members, appointed to political offices
will be affected by this ruling.
