The NaM Command de- clared that German forces, driving toward Moscow, have crossed the Bere2ina River, graveyard of Ma poleon's ill-fated venture in Im- perial Russia, and it is evident an other great battle is raging with heavy losses being inflicted on the Russians.

 Between four and five hundred thousand Red Army troops are en- gagged in a battle which the Germans claim has already yielded 100000 Soviet prisoners. The German Com mand said, due to the violence of the fighting, Russian casualties ex- ceeded the number of prisoners taken.

A Blunt Warming

Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau pulled no punches in his dis
cussion of the dangers of imitation
and the ways in which it can be
prevented when he spoke before the
Advertising Club of Boston on Tues
day might.
With more candor than has
characterized the remarks OF other
officials, he addressed himself di-
rectly-and bluntly-to the farmers
and to labor, two groups whose
political spokesmen have conducted
themselves as though they were be-
yond the reach of economic laws.
Attacking the efforts of the farm
bloc to prevent release of crop
surpluses which have been accumu-
lated over period Of years, Mr..
Morgenthau warned that these
selfish tactics, while undoubtedly
capable of raising farm prices now
by creating an artificial scarcity,
would prove disastrous to the farmer
in the long run. And, in the case of
wages, he also served notice on labor
leaders that it is sheer folly" on

PERRY PLACE.

Dear Sir:
"I am venturing to send part of
letter from lady greatly interested in
your articles and lover of birds, to
whom ! mail daily your clippings.
"She is in Massachusetts and would
very greatly appreciate word of reply
in your column.
Thanking you cordially, in her name

Every truly yours, J. G. P"
From Whitman, Mass, the following:
Here is a problem for Mr.. Tracewell.
THE birds have been coming to my
bird bath very happily this summer, and
I so enjoyed them. One big robin espe-
cially was so entertaining. He just de-
lighted in his bath, and fun in the water.
He wanted the bath well filled so that
he might dive.
Then the other day eight or nine little
sparrows were all around the bath.
Many birds besides these-thrush,
blue jay, catbird, etc.-have enjoyed it.
Now a great number of bees have
folk have been driven away.
The bees just line up around the
bath, apparently they drink, swim and
cavort to their delight-but not to mine.
"A neighbor keeps bees and I am
wondering if I have to sacrifice my
pleasure in the birds for the disagreeable
company of the bees, although they do
not attempt to sting me.
Anything I put in the water to drive
away the bees would hurt the birds.
suppose must just give it up"
Oliver Perry Medsger has written Of
bees:
The honey bee (Apis mellifica) needs
no description. 1t probably has been
more studied, written about and talked
Of than any other insect.
1T is a native of Europe and Asia.
but has been domesticated the world
over
Not very thoroughly don1esticated.
however, for the call OF the wild Is
strong in them, and many a fine swarm
goes of to the woods.
This insect is worthy Of careful study,
and If we do not have the opportunity
of observing hive, we can at least
watch them as they go from flower to
flower collecting nectar and pollen"
There is good hint there for our
correspondent.
II the bees drive away the birds for a
time, study the bees.
They, too, are most interesting in their
way, although it may not be the birds
way.
The nature student should take ad-
vantage Of every opportunity offered, no
matter how it comes.

Bee" in 1901 thousands of readers have

been brought to greater appreciation
of these insects.
This is 400-page book, but the type
pages are very small, as has been the
custom in most of the translations OF
Maeterlinck's works.
This is a poetic consideration of bees,
rather than scientific, and is helpful thus
In overcoming prejudices about the
creature.
We wonder if our correspondents bird
bath is placed where pollen can fall on it?
In that case the bees are merely after
the pollen which is all over the edges OF
the bath and even floating on the water.
After the insects have gathered all
the pollen they will go away of their own
accord.
But bees do need water.
George Rendl in his The Way of a
Bee" translated from the German and
published in this country by Henry Holt
& Company in 1888, has this to say On
the subject:
THE nurses need water to make the
brood milk, the larvae-food, and water
must be fetched.
There is water and to spare outside.
'It spouts tinkling and clear as silver
into trough before the farm.
The bees need only to set themselves
here to dip their tongues in the glistening
flood and they can bring back all they
want And yet no one of them sucks
from this wealth of water, the spring is
too cold
They seek it in the little sun-Warmed
pools.
There is one, however, among the
throng of water-seekers that, despite the
wind, flies little way over the moor.
"On the edge of a ditch lies a block of
salt, lost or thrown away by some
shepherd.
The bee takes its fill of spicy, salted
water.
They bring water enough for what Is
needed, no more and no less"
And again: "The honey has turned
thick and hard. and the bees cannot
melt it, nor suck it with their trunks.
They bring water and pour it upon the
honey and then, when it is thinned,
suck deep into its sweetness"
Herr Rendl Zone wonders where he is
now ends his work with the following
paragraphs:
The sun god no longer rises from his
fastness. He has given life to every
creature, to all growing things, to all that
walks the earth or flies in the air above.
Now it is his will that they shall be
tested by dangers, enemies and trials
the weak shall perish. and only the
strong shall live through this time of
hardship. The snowflakes whirl"
Whether these words were prophetic or
not We are not sure, but certainly they
tell us why bees need water. And
They seek it in little sun-warmed
pools"
Was there ever better description OF
bird bath than that?

generally anticipated, wants a SUBJ
stantial increase in personnel. Since
1t has been estimated that at least
300 additional men would be needed
to restore the ratio between police
and population which existed a dec
ade ago, the request of Acting Super
intendent Kelly for $50 new officers
seems modest. The police force was
sadly neglected during the past ten
years at appropriation time. 1t will
take long strides forward to make
up lost motion. The proposal to
split the present eleventh precinct
into two parts by erecting a new
station house in the rapidly growing
Benning section is a sound one. 1t
is too much to expect one precinct
command to patrol efficiently the
nearly eighteen square miles of ter
ritory now composing the eleventh
precinct.
The Fire Department seeks twenty
three additional men, eighteen of
whom would form new truck COM
pany to be installed in the No. 10

Fort Totten Park and a new fire

The motorist, already suffering
severely under the ministrations Of
tax collectors and policemen with

now and then driver in that county
notices a cadaver on the road, and
stops to see what he can do about it.
While he opens the door to get out,
10 and behold the body disappears
rapidly, possibly into thick bushes at
the roadside, with most uncorpselike
vigor. The driver, of course, has
heard of the zombies of Haiti, who
continue to move around in daze
after death, but the Fairfax carcass
is far too elusive and swift for a
mere zombie, and the phenomenon
vaguely disquiets him. Not that he
really wants a perfectly strange dead
body, but he is subconsciously dis
turbed that it does not remain
parked, which it should, according to
Newton's laws and even Einsteins, it
Is believed.
The county authorities, however,
do not hold the opinion that either

Protests Quality and Price
OF Milk and Cream.


To the Editor of The Star:
I am a newcomer to Washington and
never before have addressed letter to
newspaper, but my amaZement at the
things Washingtonians allow to be put
over" on them needs an outlet. The
straw that has broken my reserve is the
current rise in milk prices. In the first
place, I have lived in no less than 10
different communities in my lifetime and
in not one have ever seen the poor milk
and cream that masquerade as grade
A" here. In my last home in New Jersey.
the cream on the top of ordinary pas
tuerized grade A milk could be, and
was, used as coffee cream. Coffee
cream" had to be diluted to be used as
such and could be whipped with no
effort at all.
I was utterly amazed on settling here
to see the weak watered stuff the leading
dairies offer here. And now we are told
we must pay 1c a quart more! And-it
doesn't stop there. Pints of milk, in at
least one instance know of, have gone
to 9c-making rise of &c quart! And
coffee cream has gone from 15c for one
half pint to 16c, making rise of &c
quart.
