Unusual Race of Wild Geese

OHuSudI NdCt OF Wild Geese
An unusual race of wild geese is
said to exist in British Columbia
and southeastern Alaska. They are
known locally as white checked
geese and resemble the well-known
Canada goose in many respects, be-
ing approximately the same size
but much darker in plumage. They
also differ from other goose spe-
cies in that they are reluctant to
migrate south in the fall and many
remain to spend their entire life in
the northern range.

all over the world have spoken Mr..
Roosevelt's language of coercive gov
ernment. 1t is not liberalism to break
down the powers Of the judiciary and
concentrate all powers in the executive
without venturing to submit such
the form Of concrete amendments to
the Constitution of the United States.
Recent surveys have shown that,
while Mr.. Roosevelt retains his per
sonal popularity. his policies are not so
we'll favored. Maybe the American
people are beginning to feel about the
President as he does about Senator
George, so that they can sincerely say:
God bless you, Franklin, let's be
friends, but we don't speak the same

Chamberlain government and indorses

Britain came near putting him In
Jail when he defended conscientious
objectors in wartime. Then they
thought better of it and knighted him.
His book, The Great Illusion" pub
hshed in 1910, was an elaborate pres@
entation Of war as losing business
1t was prophetic in its precise state-
ment of the economic and social bankt
ruptcy following great war. Tha
powers soon gave him a laboratory
demonstration Of the truth of his arr
gument and they couldn't say he didn't
warn them. His book had been trans4
lated into virtually every known LAM
guage, including Undu, Martini and
Tamil.
In his youth he was a cowboy IN
the West and reporter on several
American papers, including the ST
Louis Globe-Democrat. When he wa4
a buckaroo, it is a certainty that no1
body ever called him Shorty" He il

country, sometimes with great prest
cience, as. years ago, he foreshsdowed
the deeping Of the rural-urban issuS
and the problems which would arisS
when We no longer could shove bach

40 books, mainly in the field Of eco1

he became editor of the Paris edition
Of the London Daily Mail and, in the
ensuing years, gained eminence a. aI

it would not surprise political prophets
here il he were to take advantage OF a
similar quiet gathering to comment"
on the Maryland situation. 1t was
recalled that he slipped Unexpectedly
away from Washington one afternoon
several years ago and dropped in"
informally at the Oxon Hill home of
his able and distinguished Under Sec
retary of State, Sumner Welles, to
foregather with group OF prominent

with the fires of Spanish civil strife
and with extensive military maneuvers
starting in the Reich today. the echo
pf whose rumbling tanks and march,

tary may have to say is expected to be
Of broad, worldwide application. not
aimed at the European situation in
particular although it doubtless will
have bearing on events there and
be interpreted partly in that light.
But the Far East also, will come in for
an equal degree of consideration, it is
believed, in the Secretary's renewed
enunciation of Americas foreign policy.
While the State Department has

another cloud has appeared in the sky
little farther south on the Latin

the Government won an outsta nding
victory in the United States Circuit
Court Of Appeals in New York the other
day. will again be presented for review
to the Supreme Court Of the United
States. The tax involves the estate
of the late Viscount William Waldorf

I 1919. Real estate in New York City
worth about $4,000, 900 having been
transferred In trust to the Farmers
Loan and Trust Co, Of New York, by
Lord Astor a few months before his
death, for the benefit Of his two sons
and their children, the Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue held this was done
to avoid the American estate tax and
levied q tax of approximately $ll .000,-
900 on it. which with interest amounted
to about $4,000 900. After the exc
cutors brought suit to recover with
Judgment in their favor rendered by
United States District Judge Caffey,
the Government appealed being repre-
sented by William Stanley, assistant
to the Attorney General. The estate
was represented by John w. Davis.
The Government won its case and
again in trial before = jury last year,
with Mr. Stanley and Mr.. Davis once
more the respective representatives.
Some interesting sidelights on the
prolonged and sensational Astor tax
court battle are afforded by the evi-
dence in the case. Such importance
did it assume that, in addition to de-
positions taken in England by the
executor of the estate Of . number Of
prominent Englishmen, one OF them.
Lord Josiah Stamp. former member
of the British Cabinet and an out
standing authority on tax matters, was
brought to the United States TO testify
at the trial. The purpose of this
testimony was to convince the jury
that Lord Astors reason for making
the transfer was not so much to avoid
the American estate tax As to avoid
a threatened British capital levy. In
heriting an estate reputed to have
been about 100000 900. he took the
title of Viscount Astor of Hever upon
being knighted by King George V in
