The beautiful music of the wood
thrushes is worth waking up early to
hear
Fortunately for those who do not
choose to wake up, this bird sings all
day long.
Happily one of its best times is the
twilight hour, when 1t delights to pose
on low branch and sing its very heart
out.
Heart" is just a nice way of saving
"lungs.' The speckle- e-breasted bird
sings its prettiest at this time, placing
in between the main phrases more of the
harsh clicks and plain grunts than any
other time of the day.
The first time an admirer of thrush
music hears the bird at close range he
may be slightly disappointed.
All he had heard, hitherto, were the
cool. clear notes. silvery in character,
tremendously loud but so uttered as to
have clean, live character not COM
mon in bird music.
Now the fellow is heard to interlard
those bell-like notes with sharp grunts,
clacks and clicks. gutteral in the ex-
treme when they are not downright
ugly.
How does all this come about? Is
the wood thrush a musician in the
modern mode, who believes in athletic,
rather than melodious outlines?
The listener will not be able to make
up his mind, but in a short time his
ear will accept the harsh tonal par
tlcles, even come to feel that they make
the rest more beautiful, still.
It's the contrast which does it.
This facile musician seems to know
it, too. Watch him preen himself as
he clicks and clacks, then send forth
pure triolet which could be heard a
mile away If the world were absolutely
still.
1t is said that one of the early New
Orleans jazz musicians could play notes
on his horn which could be heard for
10 miles on still evenings.
The wood thrush doesn't Swing" his
music at all; he is 'long-haired" musi-
clan. pure and simple, more pure than
simple, singing the same today he did
yesterday.
sort of automatic musician, if you
will, but very wonderful one, worth
taking time out. if you live in the
suburbs, to know by sight and sound.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trdce1DeU.

Sure enough, at exactly 4:27 am,
April 81, the first wood thrush of 1899
sent his silvery notes down through the
trees.
This was week earlier than normal,
due to the-intermittently spring
in general.
He came from the east, this year, not
from the west, as in past springs. That
is, he evidently few in from Rock Creek
Park. rather than from the golf club
grounds to the west.
With his arrival, the bird chorus at
dawn sounded something like, at last
To date 1t had been rather a feeble
affair, compared with the real thing.
What was the matter with it? We
hoped that newcomers to the neigh
borhood since last summer would not
imagine for second that this morning
chorus was at its height.
They hadn't heard nothing yet" as
the saying had it; they had to wait .
few more days for the real thing.
They were waiting for the thrush!
NOW that he is here. we may expect
the chorus to grow bolder and louder,
day by day, until it reaches its peak
during the first two weeks of May.
Thereafter it remains loud until the
end OF the month, gradually tapering
of until the end of June.
May and June are the morning sere-
made months.
While there will be plenty of matin
music thereafter, it will not until next
year equal the rhapsody of May.
The flrst thrush was singing rather
softly, as If testing out his vocal strength
for the days to come.
He was about half block away, but
that. OF course, was no distance for a
thrush's carrying powers.
His notes came clearly through the
well-defined warble of the robins, lusty
fellows forever calling for rain. How
many robins there are this spring. They
have come to parts of the deep city
where they seldom came before. This
must be a good season for them" some
one said. Yes. and no. The good season
Tor them was last spring, of course. All
the thousands of robins in Washington
and vicinity now are old birds and last
springs youngsters, now grown into their
first real robin plumage
X X
1t is always interesting for the friend
OF birds to listen for the very first bird
each morning.
This means that he will have to re-
arrange his living schedule, but no doubt
he will be glad to do So
Getting up, at least waking up, at
4:3O-and earlier, as the season grows
means going to bed earlier, of course.

Dr.. leiserson

President Roosevelts appointment
of DR.. William M. Leiserson as a
member of the National Labor Rela-
tions Board is happy selection on
several grounds.
For more than a score of years in
the forefront of liberal thought on
labor relations and allied social prob
lens, DR.. Leiserson presumably will
bring to the much criticized Labor
Board not only his personal skill and
experience in this so controversial
field but the material prestige which
has fallen to him during his chair
manship of the National Mediation
Board, often cited as a model of gov
ernment intervention in the field of
labor relations
In the interests then of improved
functioning of the Labor Board the
appointment should be fortuitous.
Comparably, the decision to avoid
all the bitterness which loomed in
connection with anticipated efforts
to reappoint Donald Wakefield Smith
is not only politically wise move on
Mr.. RooSevelt's part but removes an
irritant from the C. I. GA. F. L.
feud and from current reasoned con-
sideration of amendments to the
Wagner Act.
At the same time it should be not
ed that the selection of DR.. Leiserson,
however highly qualified he may be,
is not in itself the full answer to all
complaints about the labor relations
law or even about its administration.
In this connection, it is obvious that
one man, a minority in a three-man
board, cannot assuredly effect a
change in policy or in thought of the
agency, that some of its disputed
viewpoints presumably will continue
as the measuring rod for the board
majority. And, of course, the ap-
pointment of a new board member,
or even of three new board members,
does not meet objections to the struc-
ture of the act itself.
Coupled with an honest and fair
revision of the law, however, the
nomination of DR.. Leiserson to the
administrative agency should mark
distinct step forward in pursuit of
improved labor relations.

BoIiviu's Dictator

The dictatorial coup of President
German Busch in Bolivia came as
distinct surprise at a moment when
Bolivia was believed to be turning
toward liberalism from the military
regime which had ruled that country
since July, 1887. 1t came almost on
the eve Of popular elections under
the constitution adopted last year,
elections which are now indefinitely
postponed.
bolivia thus joined the ranks of
the Latin American relationships,
outside which stand now only Mexico,
Colombia, Argentina and Chile. 1t
is type of dictatorship which is as
much a traditional part of Latin
American governmental practice as
is the secret ballot in the United
StateS-the rule of a "caudillo" or
leader"
Although first news of the coup
was confused with reference to new
"totalitarian" government at La Paz
An error deriving from the state
ment that Busch was assuming the
"totality of powers'-there is reason
to believe that the Bolivian Presi-
dent, instead of moving into the
Fascist camp has struck now at Nazi-
Fascist penetration just as he struck
a year ago at Communist, anarchist
and Bolshevist organizations.
In assuming his new powers
Colonel Busch expressed adherence
for both extreme Leftist and extreme
Rightist agitation which he sees
threatening to split the country, and
deplored Nazi and Fascist tendencies
which are not acceptable to this
country"
The Presidents reference to eco
nomic emergency in Bolivia is far
from clear, however. in the absence
of evidence in Washington that
Bolivia is doing worse now than at
any other time since the end Of the
ChacO war. The war left Bolivia
with her currency shrunken to
tenth of its pre-war value and a
shortage of labor which has crippled
industry. These conditions have
persisted since 1885, but they have
not grown worse so far as known
here.
Colonel Busch has abolished Con-
gress, suspended constitutional guar
antees and declared a financial and
political dictatorship avowedly for
the purpose of enabling the country
to resume its normal development by
marshaling the country behind his
strong leadership, but he has not yet
indicated what steps he plans to take
toward that objective nor how soon
the promised elections will be held.
Meanwhile Bolivia takes it calmly
as an experience she has often gone
through.

annual roll call, but one which
merely hibernates until some great
calamity befalls section of the pop
ulation, when highly efficient relief
forces are thrown into the field and
everything is solved.
The picture is far from the true
one. This year, the thirty-f1fth
under the national society's present
charter, marks the completion of
three-quarters of a century of con-
stant progress and ever broadening
scope of the International Red Cross.
From its work of relieving suffering
and misery due to war, the field of
the organization has spread grad
ually but steadily. It's role in rescue
and rehabilitation work resulting
from war and other major disasters
is known to every child. But perhaps
its greatest work is one which is de-
cidedly of secondary nature-its in
f1uence upon the health and welfare
policies OF the country.
An example of this lies in the ap-
peal of the Surgeon General of the
Public Health Service to the dele
gates now in convention to take the
lead in building up the health of the
country as a whole. Hard battles
have been faced before, and the
primary purpose of the Red Cross is
rather far removed from public
health work, but the Surgeon General
knew, as every other American
knows, that he could count upon it
for assistance. This specific instance
is accepted by the Red Cross as a
"major responsibility" Such re-
sponsibilities are commonplace in
the organization. Every American
knows it and stands ready to lend his
support.

Return to Sanity

Beginning in the middle of the
nineteenth century, painting and
sculpture, followed by architecture,
"revolted" against traditional stand
ards. The invention of the camera
is supposed to have been responsible
for the flight from classic ideals.
Perhaps political conditions were to
blame in some part. Be the explana-
ton what it may, the era of esthetic
anarchism now appears to be closing.
Peyton Boswell, writing in the Art
Digest, declares: Social protest has
been taking terrific beating at
recent national ANIMALS Its
race is run Artists are finding
it increasingly hard to hide behind
the skirts of prevalent fads in sub
ject matter"
The public, it might be added, is
equally weary of repetitious radical
ism in method. During recent years
it has been demonstrated that re-
bellion itself may become so much
OF fashion that people tire of it.
The original experimentalists were
inferior craftsmen; their inability to
see truly and to sketch accurately
has been initiated by their followers
until visitors to the galleries have
begun to complain. Too many little
Cezannes have spoiled the great
Cezanne. Similarly, the disciples of
Gauguin, Van Gogh, Matisse, Picasso
and the rest have destroyed their
idols.
Propaganda in painting and sculp-
ture also has had it's day. The social
protest theme has been rendered
hackneyed by too much insistence.
Mr.. Boswell illustrates the prevailing
reaction by his comment upon "the
shop-worn Eternal City" by Peter
Blume, one of eighteen hundred and
seventy-seven canvases rejected by
the Corcoran Biennial jury. Friends
OF the artist jumped to the conclu-
sion that the work was barred be-
cause it is "a bilious-green carica-
ture Of Mussolini," "a vivid protest
against Fascism." In sober fact, it
simply did not merit space in the
show. Neither as a picture nor as
preachment did 1t appeal to the
jurors. The director Of the Corcoran
and its trustees had no more to do

Letters to the Editor
Writes in Defense
OF Grover Bergdoll.

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t is gratifying that Capt. J. S. Cot
trell's comments upon the Grover Berg
doll case have been given Nationwide
publicity. Hitherto, the intelligent Sec
ton of the American public has silently
suffered publicity seeking individuals
to represent us as Nation of bar
barians. The Cottrell statement should
be extremely helpful. He points out
that "Bergdoll was highly intelligent
and had physical courage
he had demonstrated it Germany
was one country he wouldn't fight
against. He had been brought
up in German household, nurtured by
mother who had been born in the
fatherlano and wanted her son to
love it,
If we gauge Bergdoll's attitude with
the Germany of today as a measuring
stick our conclusions will be valueless.
In 1918 Germany was still a country
Of lofty tradition. Her rulers were men
OF dignity and probity. Her citizens
were conspicuously honest.
1t is only fair to assume that had the
Germany of that day been the Germany
of Hitler, the young man would have
felt absolved from German allegiance.
Germanys decline was signaled by her
flooding the world with worthless cur
rency purchased by her friends in re-
lance upon German honor. Now she
indulges, shamelessly, in grand and
petty larceny. She robs banks of in
vaded countries and picks the pockets
OF destitute men, women and children,
even stripping coats from the backs of
shivering mothers herding their hungry
children upon the docks of the North
country where all decency is not dead.
The facts of today should not affect
our judgment of Bergdoll in 1918. He
should have been exempted from the
draft. The injustice of permitting
man to accumulate wealth in country
and allowing his children to reap the
benefit accfuing from his American
residence without assuming the duties
attaching to those of identical birth
but different blood, could have been
rectif1ed in proper fashion by the
conflScation of the American-earned
wealth.
The action of a congressional COM
mittee seeking to impose new penalties
upon Bergdoll for an offense committed
score OF years ago betrays an ignor-
ance of our Constitution far exceeding
that of the average rookie Washington
policeman. He knows the illegality of
ex poste facto laws
wish to take this opportunity Of
commencing you for the fine attitude
you have taken In support OF the for
eign policy of our President.

Star Commended for
Parole Conference COverage.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
On behalf of this board desire to
convey to you our deep appreciation and
gratitude for the coverage and position
given to the National Parole Conference
held in the Nations Capital the fore part
of this week. The success Of parole
depends in large measure upon a cam
paign of education which will result in
a demand on the part of the public for
a scientific approach to the problem,
coupled together with competent, trained
and adequate personnel, as well as COM
plete independence of action. Primarily
this was the objective of the President
when he requested the Attorney General
to call the recent conference. Your con-
tribution In this regard was most helpful.

Let Not the Tide

Oh, let me sing while once again my
breath
Quickens on radiant mornings near
the sea
Where sunshine banishes the thought
of death,
Awakens rapture, sets the spirit free.
When little ripples pluck the .pebbly
shore
With subtle music, let my soul rejoice
To heed their song, refusing to explore
The morrow, or to hear sterner voice.
Let not the tide with solemn undertone
Distract my heart. I shall not try
today
To read its mystic life into my own,
Nor let it bear my shining mood away.
I know not what the tides, the years
are bringing,
But Heaven has made this sea-blue
day for singing.

Flowers of Spring.

Flowers Of Spring.
No more we sing
OF gentle spring
In metaphors prolific;
For be it known,
The world has grown
A lot more scientific
Than when of yore
We would explore
The realms of fancy gaily
For fragile flowers
In balmy bowers,
Bright and fresh blooming daily.
One quite forgets
The violets
And earlier arbutus
That erstwhile we
Would hail with glee
When coyly they'd salute us.
We talk in terms
Abstruse of germs
That lie in wait to kill us,
The only thing
We sing in spring
Just now, is the bacillus.
