F CAIRO. April 3.-Rolled back in

Of standards has been much more
pronounced. When the Japanese
Army first invaded China, 1T was
generally acknowledged to be a
clean army, In the sense of dis
cipline and honesty. Today, the
japanese army of occupation is no.
toriously turbulent and corrupt.
Some well-yersed students of Far
Eastern affairs think it might be
very difficult for any Japanese gov
ernment to withdraw its army from
China, even though it should seem
politically advisable, so great is the
vested interest" the army has in in
definite occupation. 1t is we'll known
that supplies for the forces of Chang
Kai-shek have been smuggled whole

neSe control, through the bribed
acquiescence of the local Japanese
authorities.
Information is Scant concerning
the conduct of the Italian occupa-
ton forces in the Balkans and
elsewhere; but there is no reason to
believe it is superior to the Germans.
Thus, whether in Europe or in China,
the same ihsidious forces are at work
which, throughout the ages, have
been one of the nemeses of con-
uuerors.

being particularly emphasized by the
United States.
America invites the vessels of free
nations to avail themselves of our armed
protection in sea regions whose release
or immunity from German violence is
deemed to be vital. to the menaced peace
and to the legitimate interests of the
peoples OF this hemisphere.
. Aresort for Justification of departure
from the express rules of international
law, some Of these being professedly
Illogical and the complete structure
faulty, to pure law in an endeavor to
rescue civilization, does not warrant an
assumption that our Government Is
posing as a custos morum Of the earth.
Our social duty as member of the
society Of nations perfectly comedies
with a nations absolute duty of self
preservation and, in the existing crisis
these duties so merge that the supreme
interest Of America is to prevent the
dissolution OF that society by Germany,
the alternative of which would be the
exaltation of force instead of law in
Europe and Asia, the vanishing of inde-
pendent nations in those continents, and
the abolition of the United States Con-
stitution so that military regime might
command the total material-power and
man-force of the land to oppose in
stantly and continuously the constant
danger Of invasion and subjugation.
Failure of the Government and people
to fulfill Americas -voidable interna-
tional duty would suggest a devotion by
the United States Of justice and liberty

long after the juncos in 4 group have
flown up into shrubbery.
Juncos, as most birds, like heavily
sh1lbbed yard Certainly on, Of the
best ways to attract birds at any season
of the year is to have plenty of shrubs,
and to permit them to grow as tall as
they will. This often makes a messy
looking yard, 1t must be admitted, but
1t is one which the birds love.
- -
The junco is favorite OF most people
because of its appearance.
Truly, there is no prettier small bird
than this. And its time of appearance,
in the cold, assures it a particular well
come
Aside from its beauty, there is some
thing else which makes the snowbird
merit the acclaim of mankind. 1t Is
one Of the great seed eaters, and in this
way helps to keep the countryside free
from many inimical weeds.
More than so per cent of It's food is
weed seeds. The rest is the worst type
OF harmful insects, including many
caterpillars.
The birds are not known TO harm
either grain or fruit
Hence they help agriculture, and do
not hinder it in any way. For this they
are among our best protected species.
This is something they highly deserve.
There are few birds which do more for
man.
The juncos nest is made OF dried
grasses, lined with feathers, hair and
fur, when these are available.
1t is placed on the ground, usually
under grasses or weeds, or tree roots
which grow so as to permit this Some
times the nest is put in a rock crevice.
Four or five eggs are laid. They are
either white, or green white, spotted
with brown.
The birds range is from Alaska to
Florida.
The scientific name Of "junco" comes
from the Latin word for seed.
Today the name "junco" is widely used
but when the colonists first came to this
country the bird was called "snowbird ~
usage WHICH SJlll Is very popular.
Certainly persons who are only mildly
interested in the birds prefer SNOW
bird" as do children. 1t is. after all. a
real descriptive name, for it is remark
able how few of these birds are almost
sure to appear in every yard when there
is snow. Sometimes they even fiv
down few hours before a snow, and
thus are considered by some observers
to be real natural weather forecasters.
In the mountains. where it breeds.
the snowbird becomes very wild, but
hereabouts 1t is friendly enough. al
though it keeps just bit Of its wildness
by its habit of flying into shrubbery
every time there is the slightest noise
from the house.
Autumn is the time to begin to watch
Tor 1t. Now it will come in focks.
whereas in winter. after the snow has
fallen, it is likely to be seen only q few

Axis Army Morale

1t is a historical commonplace
that one of the Severest tests to
(which an army can be exposed is
when it is quartered in prolonged
occupation of enemy territory. Abuse
of power usually tends to appear,
corrupt practices spread and the gen.
'eral morale of the conquerors ulH-
rnately is sapped. "a.
For long time evidence has
been seeping out of occupied Europe
that the German forces cautioned
,throughout this vast region are being
affected by this seemingly inevitable
.process. Though much Of this in
formation may be exaggerated or
earbled by propaganda, enough re-
mains to show rather clearly that all
Is not well with the German occupa-
.tional troops.
When the German armies made
their sensational sweep across the
Low Countries and France, almost
q year and half ago, even their
.bitterest enemies had to admit that
their conduct was exemplary and
Their general attitude extremely cor
rect. Individual looting by soldiers
and bribe taking by officers was al
most unheard Of, and was promptly
and severely punished wherever it
took place. The stripping of those
unhappy countries, especially by the
use of special currencies, was a
methodical official policy which did
not benefit the army individually
and hence involved no lowering of
professional standards. T.
Today, however, matters are very
different Abuse of power by in
dividuals for their own profit and
dishonesty by officers are seemingly
frequent. There is likewise chronic
friction between the army, the Nazi
party formations, such as the S. S.
or Black Guards, and the Gestapo
or secret police. This promotes con-
fusion, causes inefaciency and helps
to lower morale.
A partial explanation of this down.
ward trend may lie in the fact that,
while the original invaders we're
hrst-line troops, the subsequent
forces of occupation were, and are
largely reserve formations, which
had neither the fanatical spirit nor
the rigid discipline of shock troops.
These reservists, older men with
families and civilian interests, nat
'urally chafe at long absences from
shome in hostile lands, In such a
atrying environment they cannot be
expected to live up to exacting
standards.
- An interesting parallel can be
drawn between current trends in the
German armies of occupation in
Europe and the Japanese forces in
China. who have been there an
