purge" in 1884, Won Papen is said
to have escaped with his life only
through the intervention OF Won
Hindenburg. The latter, shortly be-
fore his death, appointed Won Papen
Minister to Vienna. In that post he
is credited by the Germans with paw
ing the way for the annexation Of
Austria.
Although the relations between
Hitler and Won Papen have been
strained at times, the Fuehrer is
known to admire Won Papen's Pc
culiar talents. His appointment as
ambassador for special service" in
Turkey took place at time when
the Berlin Rome axis was seeking to
compete with the London-Paris alli-
ance in the wooing of Turkey-with
covetous eyes of the contestants on
the strategic Dardanelles. Won Pa
pens wooing was not so successful,
however, and now he appears to be
falling rapidly into disfavor with the
Turks. Life seems to be Just one
trouble after another for Herr Won
Papen.

Dewey's Youth Held No
Bar to Presidency.

To the Editor of The Star:
The statements are often heard that
Mr. Dewey, while very bright and
capable man, is too young and mex
perienced in national affairs to be Presi-
dent.
1t may be said in reply to these state
ments that we have had few Presi-
dents who had little experience in ma
tional affairs before attaining that office,
and yet they did fairly well. AS a matter
Of fact, experience without brains is of
little profit to any one, and there are
many people who learn nothing from
experience.
Whatever lack of experience Mr..
Dewey may have had in national affairs
there can be no question Of his thorough
Americanism and profoundly patriotic
and loyal attachment to our form OF
government and American way Of life.
Furthermore, should he become Presi-
dent it may be believed with confidence
that he will be faithful to his pre-elec-
ton promises, and to the platform upon
which he is elected, and that he will
scrupulously observe the oath he takes
to preserve. protect and defend the Con-
stitution of the United States, and that
he would never advise the Congress to
enact laws regardless of doubts as to
their constitutionality.

The Fleet Command

A routine" series of changes in the
high command of the Navy will bring
to the important post of commander
In chief of the fleet doughty seadog
from rural Texas, the colorful Navy
veteran, Admiral James o. Richard
son. Acting Secretary of the Navy
Edison announced yesterday that
Admiral Richardson, now in charge
OF the Battle Force, will take over
the fleet command on January 6.
His four-star pennant will be raised
aboard the flagship Pennsylvania.
At the same time Admiral Claude
c. Bloch, whose term as fleet COM
mander is about to expire, will take
over the Navy's vital Pacific outpost,
the Fourteenth Naval District head
quarters at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Succeeding Admiral Richardson in
the Battle Force assignment will be
Vice Admiral Charles P. Snyder, who
will become a full admiral. Rear
Admiral William S. Pye will move
into the Battle Force vacancy, with
the rank of vice admiral; Rear
Admiral Ralston S. Holmes will sue
ceed Admiral Pye as commander of
destroyers and Captain Milo F.
Draemel, now commandant of the
Naval Academy, will become COM
mander of Destroyer Flotilla No. /
Of the Battle Force.
Admiral Richardson will assume
supreme command of the greatest
fleet in American naval history at a
time OF grave world stress. He is not
the type of man to be bewildered at
the authority and the tremendous
responsibility which will devolve upon
him. Associates of Admiral Richard
son have never known him to become
bewildered at anything. That is one
of the reasons why he. has risen
steadily through the ranks from
ensign, just out of Annapolis, to the
highest sea command in the Navy.
His selection for the fleet appoint
ment was natural one and is an
honor we'll deserved His long and
distinguished service in many diff
cult assignments has marked him
as an officer thoroughly qualified to
command Americas revivified fleet
on today's trouble-beset oceans.

Won Popen's Troubles

Another noteworthy episode in the
amazing career of Franz Won Papen
appears to be in the making. Adolf
Hitler's so-called diplomatic "trou-
ble-shooter" is up to his old tricks
again as trouble-maker according
to the Turkish press. Dispatches from
Ankara say that the Turkish gov
ernment may demand recall of the
suave Nazi envoy on the ground that
he has been trying to stir up war
between Turkey and Russia. Won
Papen is accused specifically of cir
culating an article from a Moscow
newspaper excoriating Turkish news
papers.
The world knows that Won Papen's
public record is replete with "inci-
dents" Call him trouble shooter or
trouble-maker, certain it is that he
has a habit of getting into and out of
trouble with ease-and of spreading
trouble with just as little effort. AS a
young captain he was assigned to the
German Embassy here in the role of
military attache. When less than a
year later the World War broke out,
Captain Won Papen proceeded to get
into trouble with the neutral United
States in big way-with the CO.
operation of his colleague, Captain
Richard Boy-Ed, German naval at
tache. An outbreak of espionage and
sabotage in this country caused
suspicion to be directed at the Ger
man Embassy, but nothing tangible
was turned up against the Embassy
or any of its staff until the British
intercepted some suspicious docu-
ments signed "Papen" and a letter
from the Austrian Ambassador, DR..
Constantine Dumba, referring to
plans for sabotage in the United
States. One of the Won Papen papers
referred to the "idiotic Yankees"
DR.. Dumba and Captains Won Papen
and Boy-Ed quickly became persona
non grata with the United States, and
all three were recalled-the latter
two after the State Department had
charged them with improper activi-
ties in military and naval matters" !"
Upon his return to Germany Won
Papen went into action with the
army and was promoted to major.
After the war he resigned his COM
mission and turned to a new field
of municipalities. He served in the
Prussian Diet, became active among
anti-socialists and early in 1882 was
appointed chancellor by his old
friend, President Won Hindenburg.
Although Won Papen had criticized
extremists In the Nazi movement,
Hitler made him vice chancellor.

An Inadequate Answer

BY way of answering President
Roosevelt's charge that Ohio is re-
sponsible for its own relief troubles,
Governor John w. Bricker says that
"if the President and his valuable
secretary were as interested in hu-
man welfare as they are in trying
to discredit Republicans and in get
ting votes, they would pay to the
aged of Ohio the $1,300,000 which
is owed them" That, perhaps, would
be passable as retort in political
stumping tour, but it is no answer
to the point Mr.. Roosevelt was
making.
In the first place. the 81 100000 to
which Governor Bricker refers was
properly withheld and should not
be restored. The decision to with
hold the money followed upon a
convincing showing that Governor
Bricker's Democratic predecessor
was seriously abusing the Social Sc
curity machinery in the State to
further his own political interests
and his fiat refusal to come to Wash
ington to answer the complaints
that had been made against him.
To restore the money now could
have no other effect than to en-
courage similar abuses in other
States. So long as the Federal Gov
ernment is contributing to the re-
lief of the needy in the several
States it has right and duty to
insist upon the observance of GER
tain uniform rules of conduct on the
part of the State authorities. To
remit the penalty imposed on Ohio
would simply be first step toward
the breaking down of the reasonable
standards which have been imposed.
Secondly, all the evidence indicates
that the crises which have developed
in certain Ohio cities are the result
primarily of the deliberate refusal
of the Legislature to appropriate
sufficient relief funds on its own
account or to enact legislation which
would empower the cities to raise the
necessary funds. It may be, Of
course, that Governor Bricker was
not responsible for the action Of the
Legislature and that he correctly
believes no useful purpose could be
served by calling that body into spe-
cial session, but he will have scant
chance of convincing any one that
the blame for the condition that now
exists can be passed on to Wash
ington.

Neutral RIGHTS

In well-considered and carefully
worded restatement of neutral rights
of trade, the United States has re-
quested the British government to
conduct it's export blockade of Ger
many in such way as not to injure
the interests of the United States
and its nationals.
The note is not a protest-for no
charge of violation of international
law is made-but anticipates the pos
sibility of cases arising wherein the
principle of free ships make free
goods" may be violated, to the ma
terial injury of Americans.
Because of it's polite but straight
forward tone, the note significantly
is in sharp contrast with the blunt
and highly legalistic communications
sent to the British government on the
order in council of March II, 1915,
which established the total blockade
of Germany in the first World War.
Secretary of State Hull restated in
the American note to Britain the
principles for which this Govern
ment, when neutral, always has stood
in wartime-that belligerents are en-
titled to enforce blockades, and to
exercise the right of visit and search,
but may not enlarge their rights over
neutral vessels or otherwise penalize
neutrals for their legitimate activ-
tiles, one of which is the importation
of goods from a belligerent.
But the real basis of the note is
not merely the neutral duty of press
ing all belligerents equally for the
respect of neutral rights. 1t is to pro-
tect in practical way the source of
a number of articles of commerce
which are important to Americans
and of which Germany is the sole
supplier - manufactured Specialties
of one sort or another; to protect
the rights of Americans who have
already paid for or are obligated for
goods purchased in Germany, and
to provide a basis in the record for
claims later if Americans suffer dam
age from the enforcement of the
export blockade.

Proposes Drastic Action
By United States.
BIZ Thomas r. Henry.

proposes DrAStiC ACtlOn
BY United States.
To the Editor Of The Star:
It would seem that most of the trouble
in the world today is due to the fact
that few nations have shown principle
or the courage of their convictions, and
none has shown both for many a long
year. And that goes for the United
States.
Japan, Italy, Germany and Russia are
ranging the world, stealing everything
not screwed down, numbering nations
and their citizens, all in violation of
numerous treaties, international law and
the most elementary decencies, with no
nation doing anything effective about It..
For instance, the sequel to the bomb
ing of the Panay can be imagined had
Grover Cleveland or Theodore Roosevelt
been then President.
It would seem the United States should
set the world an example. All treaties
with the countries named should be
abrogated and their diplomatic and con-
sular agents sent home, on the ground
that no statement or agreement by them
can be relied upon. All nationals Of such
countries should be deported, all travel,
all commerce, all communication by
mail, wire or wireless should be stopped.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles r. Trdcetoell.

wall, with never the slightest suggestion
Of the screech about 1t.
ANY name which would have denoted
lament. apprehension, or incidentally .
severe chill, would have been appropri-
ate; in fact, the name shivering owl, by
which the bird Is commonly known in
the South, has the advantage Of being
doubly significant, since the shivering
notes gives superstitious folk the 'shiv-
ers' also"
DR.. william Finely, in the same book,
tells Of the food of the barn owl, as
follows:
1.-THE owl is not particular about what
he eats. He puts his feet on his game
to hold it, then tears it to pieces with
his hooked beak, swallowing the entire
animal, meat, bones, fur and all.
In the stomach, the nutritious por-
tions are absorbed and the indigestible
matter is formed into round pellets and
disgorged.
About the owls roost or near its home,
one may often find these pellets in great
numbers. A scientist, by examining
these, can tell exactly what the bird has
been eating. He can also get a careful
estimate of the size and number of the
owls meals.
"The best known record we have con-
corning the food Of the barn owl is that
which was made from pair that occu-
pied one of the towers of the Smith
sonian Institution Building at Wash
ington.
= "Dr. A. K. Fisher, who is our greatest
authority on the food of hawks and owls,
examined 200 pellets from this pair of
birds
These showed total of 454 skulls
There were 225 meadow mice, pine
mice, Ito house mice, 20 rats, jumping
mice, 20 shrews, star-nosed mole and
vesper sparrow"
DR.. Fisher is quoted as follows con-
cerning the screech owls food:
THE little screech owl is well known
throughout the greater part of the
United States. With the exception of
the burrowing owl, it feeds more ex-
tensively on insects than any of the
other owls.
1T is also a diligent mouser. OF 254
stomachs examined, birds were found in
about IS per cent.
Most of the birds destroyed by this
owl are killed either in severe winter
weather or during the breeding season,
when it has hard work to feed its young.
LAS nearly three-fourths of the owls
food consists of injurious mammals and
insects, and only about one-seventh of
birds "a large proportion of which are
destructive English sparrows) there is nc
question that this little owl should be
carefully protected"
1t is perhaps needless to say that this
column does not agree either with the
ornithologist's structure on the English
sparrow or with our correspondents
feelings as to the screech owls cries
Coming to be more realized every yea,
are the services of the English sparrows
as insect and weed seed eaters. Cries
of owls are unique, interesting and mu-
steal, properly listened to.

made for the water routes of the
country to provide cheap" trans
portation, the Kansas Senator con-
tends that what actually is taking
place is the subsidization of a form
of carriage that basically is more ex-
pensive than that furnished either
on rails or highways and that has
as its principal beneficiaries indus
trial corporations hauling their own
goods.
If the water carriers were required
to meet the same test Of necessity.
and convenience" applied by law to
rail and motor lines, Senator Reed
told the National Industrial Traffic
League, in recent speech, it would
operate to reduce the surplus Of
commercial transportation facilities"
now existing-a step he believes is
necessary for the benefit of the trans
portation structure as a whole.
Any attempt to translate into
action Senator Reeds plan undoubt-
edly would encounter vigorous oppo-
sition, but it raises anew a subject
which has received something less
than proper consideration in the past.
Conceding that the inland water
ways have their place in the national
scheme, there still is a question as to
the economic soundness of a system
under which one transportation
agency has the backing of the public
treasury, while a private competitor
from which it takes business-sees a
good share of it's income go for taxes.
Congress is preparing to grapple
with the transportation issue after
the first of the year, and no better
opportunity could be found to go into
subsidies generally. Railroads long
have complained that they are dis
criminated against by the financial
aid given their rivals, and the subject
is one on which light we'll might be

"EAsr FALLS CHURCH, VA.

Dear Sir:
with all your new and interesting
articles dealing with birds, turtles and
nsh, I wonder that no one has mem
toned the owl, Of which there are one
or two in the nearby woods. Although
they seem comparatively quiet during
the daytime, they have awakened me
nightly by their screams.
"These are the species known as the
screech owl and, despite my deafness,
he seems to emit q continuous shrek or
scream which can compare only to the
screams Of human in distress, pierc-
ing and continued series OF calls, which
I interpret to be q call to his mate.
4H&4
I'VE have threatened to hunt him down
and shoot him, but have been persuaded
by neighbors to let him live, since he is
q we'll known destroyer Of mice, vefinin
and other Objectionable pests.
However, during the early spring,
there was q partially dismembered bird
found near the scene Of his haunt, and
while he was suspicioned we never actu-
ally knew whether he had attacked the
bird.
Personally. I am opposed to killing
him, since my motto is Live and let
live but I do wish he would suggest q
relief from his nightly serenade.
"All of the other birds are behaving
beautifully, and recently the titmouse,
chickadee and nuthatches are again
prominent at the feeding stations, the
blue jays conduct being unusually good
since his return. All is quiet except the
owl. Sincerely yours, o. c."
The screech owl is q common perma-
nent resident hereabouts, sometimes OBJ
served In the city.
Other owls of this vicinity are the barn
owl, listed as an uncommon permanent
resident; the American long-eared owl:
the barred owl; saw-whet owl, great
horned owl and snowy owf. Some Of
these are accidental visitors only.
The screech owl roasted in the old
Agricultural Department grounds at one
Lie Ud1A OWA A4OoVCA IA WAC WV
ers of the Smithsonian Institution Build
ing. The towers were used as winter
roosting places, and the heat from the
building induced the birds to nest in
fall and winter.
The screech owl is about 10 inches
long making it one Of the smallest OF
the owl family: this contrasts with the
18 inches of the barn owl.
Other common names for the screech
owl are little horned owl, gray owl, red
owl, little dukelet, mottled owl, shiver-
ing owl.
These names give some real informa-
ton about the creature.
George GLADDEN., writing in Birds Of
America" has this to say about the cry
of the bird:
lone wonders how the man who named
this bird the 'screech owl would feel
about q real screech, and how he would
describe it.
For the birds characteristic cry is a
singularly mournful and plaintive little

resulted in only a bare subsistence, with
