named Grove, and this in itself was
very unusual in the way of ornitho-
logical marriages. Perhaps to make
the ceremony all the more beautiful
they were pronounced man and wife
by the Rev. Canon Peacock, as the
organist, Patrick Rook, softly
played the sympathetic strains of
"Traumerei."
This may seem a remarkable CO.
incidence Of names, but when we
consider later match at Edin-
burgh, Scotland, it seems to be far
surpassed in this particular. In this
famous wedding we find that the
bride is named Miss Henrietta
Peacock, while the groom has the
more unusual name of Robin Spar
row, which is a clever combination
Of two names that really sound
cutie appropriate when thus used.
But his best man, Philip Hawk,
proves to be an enemy of Both
Pobiu and Sparrow in an ornitholog-
scal way, although he was in reality
the bridegroom's bosom friend. Miss
Larkins was Miss Peacock's brides
maid, while Rev. Mr.. Daw per-
formed the ceremony in a most ef-
fective manner, assisted by John
Grow. the church clerk, who read
Part Of the marriage lines. By a
remarkable coincidence the sexton's
name happened to be Raven and the

Cites the Elephant

Cites the Elephant
1.-THE animal that eats any Of
these has less endurance and a
shorter life than any other" he
said. "Ths pig is one, but humans
are not pigs, or shouldn't be. The
strongest and mildest animal we
have to-day Is the elephant, one Of
the frugivora.' He lives to be two
hundred or more years old. He does
so by eating grasses, twigs, shoots
and anything available Of the veee-
table food variety. The sea tortoise,
another animal OF great age, pre-
serves his life by total abstinence
from other than marine vegetation.
1.-THE horse is VI the frugivora'
type and Is the strongest animal In
proportion to his size wa have. He
lives a comparatively long life if
act abused.
Birds which eat wholly Of seeds
and cereals live to great age. The
parrot is an example"
On the other hand, the doctor
claims that tho earnivorous type Of
animal. notably felines. lives a abort
and ferocious life.

"The diet question is the funda-
mental question for every man,

If unfavoYable material Is put into
the stomach it will disarrange the

quantity Of nutritive material ak
pressed to the greatest degree of
perfection is in the vegetable form
of diet" commented the doctor.
"But what about thick, luscious,
tender beefsteak, we'll Drowned and
attractively served?" the doctor was
asked.
"That is an acquired habit" he
explained. without this and the
salt, pepper, butter and other sea-
soning the human being would gag
on beefsteak. There is dangerous

To the Laboratory
"But what about milk? asked ..se
reporter, argumentatively.
This question brought action
from the physician. 1t led to the
small neutrality-suspicious., probably
one of the most unusual of either
kitchens or laboratories in New
York City or the United States. The
average conception of a laboratory
is room cluttered with parapherr.-
liza hanging from tho walls. mazes
Of test tubes, batteries Of mortars
and pestles, graduate glasses and
oven more mysterious eurlicues Of
glass tubing which lead to tunnels

was none Of this in the West Fifty
eighth Street laboratory.
The laboratory was as simple as
a vegetable diet.
A shelf contained a short row Of
highly polished aluminium cups and
pan or two. A sink Of shining
white enamel was lonesome for lack
Of the customary trappings. The
remainder was simplicity, so much
so that the mental picture hours

be tar safer because, unless the
cow Is fresh during the few months
OF spring and summer, her milk is
unwholesome and unnatural. A
large part Of the year the cow is
giving milk under artificial condi-
tions.
"The greatest evidence Of the
bad effect Of animal milk on chill
dren is the heavy death rate of
those In infancy. This mortality
is conceded to be excessive. Last
year $4,000 children died in the
City Of New York. The child NOR
tality within the fifth year is es-
timated at 40 per cent. There
isn't anything so essential as diet
for infants. Their main diet is
cows milk. This animal milk is diff
ficult to digest. A piece of bread
is far more digestible. When chill
dren are i'll no one knows what is
the matter with them. They have
internal fevers and other ills. The
real cause, l believe, is excessive

Make It at Home
"The physician denied any inten-
tion Of entering the synthetic milk
business. He stated, however, that
the manufacture of synthetic milk
Is within reach Of every housewife

sary is q food grinder, a filter cloth

Wrapping the cereal mass in the

"The cow is portable milk

the result is milk" said the doctor

"but our experiments and research

hand, he pointed out the Alaskan
dog, which lives entirely on meat

Officials of the ShefYield Dairy

milk producing companies In New

proposition of the hundreds Of cows

"Our cows are still doing business

was Informed, "and their milk con-

will have to refer you to some ex-

because the German admiral had a
clearly worked-out plan of battle, clev-
erly conceived and containing an ele-
ment of surprise, whereas Jellicoe had
no very definite plan and was strongly
committed to a policy of taking nc
chances. Commander Gill character
ICES the German tactics as an
Offensive defensive" and the British
as cautious offensive" The initia-
tive was thus left with the weaker
fleet, and this reversal of ordinary con-
ditions precluded a decisive action,
since it remained always within the
power Of the weaker antagonist to
withdraw when it suited him.
On this point Commander Gill says
justly:
with the German offensive de-
fensive' pitted against the British
cautious offensive it would have
taken some stroke of fortune to bring
the forces together in decisive battle.
History has taught-no matter what
the weapons may be, whether sailing

safely crossed the tail OF the British
line in the few hours Of darkness,
fighting occasionally with tho British
rear guard light forces.
Tactically, therefore, the honors at
Jutland went to the Germans. Scheer
made better use Of an inferior feet
than Jellicoe did OF a superior one.
The British commander was, Of course,
hampered by Admiralty orders and
strategic considerations. He was tied
down to the Cautious offensive" He
fulfilled his instructions scrupulously,
and since the German feet headed for
home the British claimed a victory.
Commander Gill naturally dissents
from the view, expressed by Mr.. Bal
four and others, that Great Britain de-
rived from the indecisive action off Jut-
land all the benefits which could have
been derived from a real victory. Jut-
land, it is clear, didn't alter the imme-
diate military or naval situation. The
Germans still controlled the Baltic and
were still able to maintain the U-boat
war, which, in fact, became much more
Of peril to the British in 1917 than
it was in 1915. Allied naval effort had
to be painfully intensified. In many
ways a Trafalgar in the North Sea
would have vastly relieved the Allied
military situation in the summer of
1916.
Yet in a sense which neither the
Germans nor the Allies then perceived
the draw off Jutland was fatal to Ger
many. If the German feet had been
destroyed Germany would never have
been in a position in January, 1917, to
renew unrestricted submarine warfare.
She would have fought the war out on
the Continent and would not have
forced the United States to become a
to put her on even terms with the AL
lies; and that the Allies could have
won the war in 1918 Or 1919 without
American aid is a rash assumption. In
the broadest strategical aspect Germany
probably would have been better off if
Scheer had lost the high seas feet in
stead of bringing it back to port. But
since he couldn't know that, his "of-
fensive- defensive" against the much
stronger British feet must remain a
highly creditable achievement in naval
tactics.
