Revenge Root
 Of War Talk. Is Charge
By DAVID M. CHURCH international News Service Staff Cor
 reSIlOudent


 London, Sept. 1.-Hope for re- yense is partly responsible for the fear of war which is sweeping F,I1- rope. according to Sir William Suth- Duchy of Lancaster.
 IT IS necessary to arouse through out Europe and America a vigorous op1Elon against war" Sir William said.
 How shall we account for the pre- valence of this talk of new wars?"
 Tt is par1tly due to hopes for re- Venge. Having recovered from the first stage of defeat and martial 1hu- initiation, some peoples are looking forward to a military dawn that will replace defeat by victory. They talk eternIal' natures into whisperings and secret preparations.
 T have information, for example, from a friend in Germany that in his district a small body of men have started a voluntary organization for war, in which each man engages to get twenty others. Each of these in turn collect another twenty
 International fears account for much also-fears justified and fears groundless. They always have. in the clash of national ambitions and competitive armaments. and more than ever now. People who gained their freedom in the war are afraid it wiM be taken from them. Ma tions which have enlarged their boundaries consider they must have increased forces to maintain them.
 Thus it is that you have in Flu rope greater armies than in 1914; when, all the time, it is more workers to make good the losses of the war that are needed.
 The unique concentration of scien- tltlc and engineering ability on de- structive implements of war during the years of fighting has produced It's harvest sand the very existence of this cstOT tah1ouSeSs a. talk of and an interest in, war.
 'As to the spirit of the people, that is a different matter. If the British people were attacked or Tous- ed by what they considered sufficient and just cause they would show as strong a, spirit at any period. What we want now is that this spirit of British freedom should make its influence felt in dispersing these gathering clouds of doubt and hints of war It can do it.

I know one person who had a red nose for years before he discovered that his spec tacles were causing it. The cure came. in that case, by making changes every other day between spectacles and eyeglasses. In this in- stance the circulation was impeded by the weight over the bridge of the nose.

 Forgive me for troubling you so much, best wisheS.-R. M." I have given nearly the whole of your letter because there is so much of good common sense in it.

SIGNIFICANT VOCAL DEFECTS


 An authority on voice culture states that the most important course in ed- ucation is that of cultivatinE the voice. Confirming this, is the fact that voice culture has now become a subsidiary course to numerous other courses in University curriculum. Pub lie speaking courses must also be in- c1ude elocution to perfect the voice training. It is not enough to train the voice to sing, but separate study is expected so the speaking voice will be equally well developed. A course in elocution is required in many business courses that are given in the colleges. Chief among these is the social secretaria1 course, as it is argued: What use is an efficient secretary if she is constantly offend ing good breedeng by uncontrolled vocal defects? % At one of the col leges it is claimed that many course in vocal training has been the cause of rapid advancement in busi- ness.
 This same authority claims that. as a nation, we speak with tensed jaw, which in turn causes a closed throat. Consequently our voices are pitched too low; however. that does not i'm ply that our voices are sJubdued. It means that we are inclined to be throaty and slur together all our sounds. This authority also states that the jaw hinges of most of us are

FAIR RAID" BABIES
 TEMPER UNCERTAIN
Some Incorrigible-Others Are Timid-PrenataI In- fuence Asserting Itself.

London, Sept IA future popula- ton which will have a number of ab- normal citizens threatens London as the result of the German air raids.
 ':Air raid babies"-children born under the stress of Zeppelin and aero plane raids-are now reaching the school age and are coming under ob servation.
 The London County Council educa- tional authorities are finding them selves faced with a problem with these children. Although no tab ulated figures are available concern ing lair raid babies," it is stated that the nervous systems of these children are unstable, their temper is uncer- tain, and the number of difficult children is great. Precocity is strongly developed in these abnormal children and a peculiar trait is that almost all have uniformly tapering fingers.
 In one class of 34 afraid children all have staring eyes, as though awaiting some great catastrophe.
 Many of these children are found to be incorrigible and have a spirit which constantly causes difficulties for their teachers.
 It is reported that a few of the children appear to suffer from con- stant fear and timidity.

Bird Seed Led To
 Bird Surgery And Success For Woman

Miss Virginia Pope Is the only wo- man bird surgeon in the world in her early teens she developed a pas sion fer sketching birds and coloring them in all their gay pumage.l Later as travelling saleswoman for a drug concern, Miss Pope handled bird mama. The successful sale or the seed kind1ed her ever growing inter est in birds and finally turned her to mending wings and legs of over 800 birds in her hospital today.
 .'It seems birds have fitted through every occupation I ever undertooK, remarks Miss Pope When l was only 16 became apprenticed to a mill liner and loved it-aH but the cruel use of birds for trimming. It made me cry remember when l re- ceived my first salary how I begged a man to sell me a picture of West Point for four dollars when it was worth eight-just because had birds in it.
 'sThen when I took up window dressing I always felt the display So hosts Of paper swallows were all ways flying in the window Even while I worked on McCunough's De- tective staff and when I was under studying in Shakespearian roles in Buffalo-those were the days when Julia Marlowe made her first bow I longed to be with birds once In Boston I happened to pass the bird department III "a ldTSS sure "iS1 C iAA0 birds hung in the worst draught and the cages were unkept. It just made me take off my hat and coat and get to work rearranging."
 For twenty years now Miss Pope has studied and prescribed for sick birds She dresses in stiff white cam brio, and goes out on "calls."
 Tn my treatment of birds, she human. I hypnotize birds; they lie so still on my hand It's just an understanding of the human side ot their nature. It's like a doctor pres cribing for a human being. The doc. tor says: T advise you to go South Yet just to go South may not be the best advice. So I don't just fix a bird up and let it go at that. l take his blood system and the general con dition that is peculiar, to each indl- vidual bird into consideration.
 After ar operation and the bird is convalescent I treat it as one would a human being after any tlness- pamper it, amtlse it. l have china dolls for the parrots to play with and a dinner bell. One polly washes his doll every night and dries it with cheese cloth.''
 Miss Pope has varied class of pa- tients-canaries, bullhnches. parrots, parrakeets, cockatoos, macaws, pen nants, mules, and tribe of others. Incidentally, she houses Princess slender bill cockatoo. And there are as many diseases as there are piping voices in this bird hospital Broken legs and intestinal trouble, chalk feet and penum monia, dislocations and tu- nor, asthma and cysts on the eye many are convalescents from all these diseases under Miss Pope's care.
 -.sI never put bird under an anaes- thetic when I operate. Birds do not come to, as easily as humans. It re. qufres bit of patience, too, to set 8 broken leg, for instance of a parrot It is a strong bird and requires three people to perform the operation

fired, or if he did hear it, did not realize its significance. It was not until he arrived at Police headquar- ters that he made the startling dis covery that two of his passengers were missing, and that the solitary occupants of his car was in urgent need of medical aid.
 Inspector Holden was rushed to the New York Hospital where an opera tion was immediately performed. Late last night it was announced that he was out of danger, barring the possibility of blood-poisoning, as the bullet had struck a rib and failed to penetrate any of the vital organs.
 In statement given out to the press last night the wounded man explained the circumstances or the shooting and expressed confidence that his escaped prisoners would soon be recaptured.
 Although had never seen the woman ibefore,'' he said, "and have no idea who she is, there isn't any doubt that she is a dangerous professional crook, I thought at first, when I ar rested the pair, that she might be an innocent victim of circumstances one of the empty-headed. butterfly patrons of the Broadway resorts who had been attracted by the magnetic
 
 But the fact that she carried a gun, and didn't hesitate to use it, has sat- isfied me that she wasn't of that class. Otherwise respectable young women who frequent those places don't carry firearms with them. Her behavior leaves no doubt that she was one of Raym ond's gang of swindlers ana blackmailers. Although she has got away for the time being, I carry a 5.+a head, and I expect to have no diff fculty in tracking her down as soon as I am on my feet again. I am as confident of finding her as I am of landing Raym ond. If either of them imagines that they have made per manent getaway they are going to find that they are sadly mistaken be- fore very long,
 Nearly twelve months had elapsed since Inspector Holden had made that confident prediction. but he had not yet succeeded in finding either of the fugitives.
 Now, however, it looked as though b queer freak of Fate was about to put him On the track of one of them at last. For at this very moment the long arm of coincidence was drag ging him uptown to pass Judgment on the "1Ovely apartment Whlcn ms wife had discovered.
 And separated from that apartment by only few feet of hall space was the cozy bat in which the nyst erious and long-sought t'woman in the case'' baked cherry pies and other appetiz- ing culinary connections for her adoring husband.

Dear Doctor:
 'sHae been troubled for sometime with a bad breath. My teeth are in a perfect condition but I am troubled with mucous in my throat. I am also subject to constipation. Kindly advise me rat I should do as am very upset over my condition. Am 70 years o1d.-Mrs. J.
 Yesterday we gave an article on tonsfls that are chronica1ly inflamed and furnish cheesy deposits. Such tonsils may be a cause of the bad odor of the breath as they are very offen- sive.
 Are your tonsils in good condition? :? The mucous in your throat shows that you have a catarrhal condition of the mussous membrane and there may be some decomposition from that. I would suggest that you go to a nose specialist. We have recent ly given several papers on constipa- tion. If you will send me stamped, addressed envelope, through the pa- per, I will send the information to you.

LIBRARY CALCULATES
 GOOD POPULAR MUSIC

The library committee in a New England town recently has been buy ing popular music foR the local pub lie library. This is a decided innova- ton and it is hoped that it will stamp put a fondness among the young peo- pie for the cheaper grades of music oy supplying the better song and dance music and directing attention to that type of music sometimes referred to as the melody song.
 That the popular music of today is far in advance of that of a few years ago is the opinion of many authorities Some of it contains subtleties of har- Inony and rhythm that would not have been enjoyed by the public of yester- day. Although the mass of music which annually sweep over the coun- try is of only passing interest each phase of 1t leaves it's mark some deeper than others. but all contribut- ing to the formation of the national character of American music. Art will eventually emanate from the street, the theatre, the dance hall and the sentimental song. A nations hopes, ambitions and conditions are reflected in it's popular music.

Both Prisoners Make Their Escape,
 Leaving Victim Unconscious.

Police Inspector John Holden was seriously, although not mortaIry. wounded yesterday by a bullet fired from the gun of a desperate woman who, with her companion, a notor- fous confidence man, was being taken to police headquarters under arrest by the p1ucky official. The shooting occurred in broad daylight, and al- most before the eyes of hundreds of people, but both of the prisoners managed to make their escape from the taxicab in which they were rid ing with their captor, and are still at large.
 The identity of the woman who fired the shot is at present unknown to the police, but there is no doubt about the the man. He is known at headquarters as "Velvet" Raymond, and has the reputation of being one of the most adroit and suave swind- lers and blackmailers who has ever been photographed for the Rogues' Gallery. Of late he has been con- fining his activitis to the jazz tea" resorts, where his polished manners, good looks, and familiarity with the latest dance steps are said to have won him many victims among the foolish women of wealth and social position who are drawnto such places by desire for 8 taste of Bohemia ''
 Entering the Cafe DArtagnan, yes- terday afternoon. with the idea Of looking the place over, Inspector Holden observed Raymond sitting with an attractive young woman at a small table in a secluded corner or the resort. Knowing that the fellow was wanted at headquarters Tor a big sw1ndlng case, the inspector, who was alone, walked over to him and told him quietly that he was under arrest Holden did not recognize Raym ond's companion, but thinking that she might be a. member Of the swindling gang. he told her that she would nave to come along, too
 The couple made To attempt at re- sistance at first, and their behavior was so mild that the police official did not think it necessary to go to the trouble of summonfng aid. He did take the usual precaution of searching the mans pockets to make sure that he carried no concealed weapons, but unfortunately. he care lessly neglected to give the same at tent1on to the woman From her ap- pearance he took it for granted that she was not the kind who would make any trouble.
