Poilus More Ignorant
Than Yankee Soldiers

Lieut.. Col. Jean Fabry, rapporteur
TO the army commission Of the cham
Der of deputies. has contributed
rather sensational article TO Intran-
sigeant upon iIliteracy In the French
army.
Upon an average, only two out of
ten Of seven hundred recruits of TWEEN
ty years of age, just received by two
French infantry regiments. could be
classed as educated In the ordinary
sense Of the word. OF the remaining
eight, five upon an average knew how
to read and write a little; two were
able to spell with great difficulty and
to write llleglbly. while the eighth was
totally illiterate.
In order to show that these figures
which are even more depressing than
our American mentality tests at the
time of the war, are fairly representa-
tive, Colonel Fabry points out that
these recruits came from 81 different
departments, mostly from the highly
developed northeastern districts They
were drawn from all classes of occu-
patton, but mostly from agriculture.
A very large proportion of them
had no idea where the treaty OF peace
was signed and nearly all were I'M
able TO say who made the laws of the
CONTRIBUTING Age.

The Ireland forgeries, as related In

most notorious in English literature
and include the supposed manuscripts
Of such important plays as king Lear"
and Hamlet" and the pretended dis
covery OF an entirely new Shake
Spearean play called 'Vortlgern and

These forgeries, which deceived
many OF the most eminent men of the

when II is known that the perpetrator
was boy barely eighteen years old.
Sheridan paid 81 800 for the rights to
produce "yortigern and Rowcna" and
agreed TO share equally the profits
from It's production with young Ireland.

Bird Life in Ecuador

Ecuador is richer In bird life than
any other country of equal extent In
the world. approximately 1900 species
of birds having been recorded from Il,
or about one-third the bird life of
South America and one-tenth the bird
life Of the whole world, according to
DR.. Frank NJ. Chapman. curator OF
birds In the American Museum of Nat
uTal History, who recently lectured on
Ecuador at the New York botanical;
Garden.
Doctor Chapman. for the last ten
years, has been conducting. on behalf
of the American museum. field re
searches throughout the Andes Of
South America TO determine the origin
of bird life In his lecture he dealt
with his recent explorations 10 Ecua-
dor, which country, In company with
George X. Cherrie, he visited In the
summer of 1922.
The wealth Of the avlfauna In Ecua
dor is due not only to the diversity Of
the country AT sea level but more par.
ticulary to the development Of life
zones In the Andes from sea level TO
snow line In addition to the tropical
or basal zone, there exist subtropical.
temperate and paramo zones. each one
of which has species peculiar TO itself
a Journey, therefore, from sea level to
snow line In measure epltomizes one
from the equator TO the pole.
Among the interesting discoveries by
Doctor Chapman and his associates
was the presence on the coast of Euca
dor In mid-July of large numbers OF
North American shore birds-curlews,
plovers, etc, the breeding grounds Of
which are north OF the Arctic circle. II
was found that these were on-breed-
Ing birds, and the fact that they CON
tinued TO remain in Eucador long after
their associates had migrated 10 the
north is evidence In support of the
theory that migration from winter TO
summer quarters Is prompted primarily
by the desire to find a nesting ground.
