Quotes EYEWITNESS Account
OF Lincoln at Fort Stevens.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Enoch Aquila Chase has done the
cause of history a service in challenging
what you are pleased to call historic
legends about Lincoln at Fort Stevens"
Many of the oldtimers in Washington
may remember Newton A. Strait. Some
Of them tell me that he was truthful
man, a patient scholar, and q correct
writer. In 1903 he published book en-
titled Alphabetical List of Battles:
1754-l900; Compiled from OfIicial Rec
ords." In this very rare work Geissued
in 1910, is to be found what is perhaps
the only eyewitness account of Presi-
dent Lincoln's visit to Fort Stevens. It
is Mr.. Straits own personal recollec-
ton, and, therefore. is historic. As it
probably has never been published out
side Of this book, you may care to pre-
serve 1t In your columns.

ing seen President Lincoln and Secre-
tary Stanton, accompanied by = military
officer unknown to him, at Fort Stevens

"TAKOMA PARK.

Dear Sir:
Recently in the woods near my house
I have seen a pair of pure white squir-
rels. They are quite tame ana come to
the yard to eat and play.
Il had never before seen a white
squirrel and wonder if they are COM
mon in this part of the country. I have
seen plenty of black, red and gray In
these woods
Il am interested in your column and
read it every day.
Sincerely, c. N"
The albno squirrel is not common
here or any place else.
Albinos among birds too are rare.
1t is said that there are never at any
one time more than dozen albno rob-
ins, for instance, in the entire United
States.
Black, or melanistic, forms Of the
squirrel are more common.
Places at which these are often seen
are Arlington National Cemetery, the
grounds of the E. V. Brown School on
Connecticut avenue and the Sligo terri
tory.
No matter what his color. Americas S
squirrel is an interesting animal.
He is returning now to bird feeding
stations in operation throughout the
suburban communities.
Wherever birds are fed by man, there
also is his friend. the squirrel.
He must think he is a bird" too, and
he is, no doubt of that.
He is on the go from morning to
sunflower seed with as much gusto as
any songster.
While it is impossible to look upon
the gray squirrel, the common one here
abouts, as a singer, he has variety of
! noises.
One of these is a grating, quarrel
words as crek. crek, crek, crek, which
rather we'll states 1t.
The rodent makes this noise when he
is angry or dispeased in any way.
He must be a somewhat ouarrelsome
animal, because he makes 1t all day
/ long.
Often he hurls it, as sort Of impre-
cation. against man, the so-called lord
of creation.

New Defense Plants

That the expansion in production
facilities caused by the armament
program will change, in important
particulars, both the pattern and
structure of American industry has
long been evident. In the November
issue of the Survey of Current Busi-
ness, published by the Department OF
Commerce, John D. Wilson estimates
that the expenditures for new manu-
featuring facilities in the United
States this year will amount to ap-
proximately $4,000, 100000, or more
than a third of the total for the en-
tire decade from 1880 to 1910. OF
the 1941 outlay, about four-fifths
will represent expenditures for de-
fense plants.
Geographically, the new plants are
widely distributed. New England,
the East, and the Great Lakes area
regions which in the past have been
the most heavily industrialized-
have received so far more than three
fifths of the funds allocated for de-
fense factories. These sections, how
ever, will have a smaller percentage
of the new plants than their share
of the country's pre-war manufacr
turing facilities. Though expendi-
lures In the South, the Rocky Noun

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. TrdcetDeH.

1t is one OF the saddest of all forest
sounds.
No one who has heard it will be will
ing to believe that any other animal in
sorrow can exceed it in sheer despair.
1t has a number Of other sounds for
special occasions, but when it rs In
danger, itself, it makes no noise, but
merely runs frantically seeking a way
of escape.
1t is an odd fact, how high in trees
squirrels build their summer nests,
where the young are born and live the
first three months of their lives.
No doubt squirrels have no fear OF
falling, or of their babies falling. 1t is
not often that this happens, except in
summer storms.
Two years ago we found baby SPUR
rel on the ground.
The mother was peering down from
the nest, some 30 feet above.
The ground and leaves were dripping
with the thunderstorm just past.
The baby was about inches long,
with its odd tail about the same length.
It seemed dead, but was still warm, so
we put 1t in the crotch of the tree, about
six feet from the ground, and retired
indoors to see what would happen
1t happened quickly.
Almost before you could turn around
the mother squirrel had come down the
trunk and seized the baby in her mouth.
She carried 1t to high limb, about 10
feet below the nest.
Here she put the baby down. and
licked it all over. no doubt to warm it up
Then, satisfied that it was breathing
she took it in her mouth again and
carried it to the nest.
Recently We stated here that the door
of a man-made winter squirrel house
should be six inches square.
This is a bit too large.
A squirrel architect has shown US Just

yards, and often even into the city it

stopped and they alighted about 100 feet
from the Brightwood Hotel and crossed
the Seventh Street road in the rear Of
the fort. or near where the car barn is
now situated. They halted on small
knoll or rise of ground located on the
right and not quite abreast of the fort.
AS they were crossing the Seventh Street
road they were joined by an officer from
the fort with pair Of field glasses. with
which he swept the country until he evi-
IDENTIFY located the object sought. He
then handed the glasses to the Presi-
dent, at the same time pointing in the
direction that he desired him to look.
The glasses were in turn passed to Mr..
Stanton and to the unknown officer be-
fore mentioned.
The distinguished party had been
there but very short time before the
officer from the fort appeared anxious
to have them move from their exposed
position. The compiler was not near
enough to hear the conversation. but the
uneasiness of the officer to get them to
return was very plain, as shown bv his
gestures and movements He finally
rather abruptly took the glasses from
the Presidents hand and returned them
to the case, starting in the direction of
the carriage the party followed, but
rather reluctantly. believe Mr.. Stanton
accompanied the officer from the fort on
his return to the carriage, the President
and the other officer following.
The party passed within few feet
OF the compiler both in going and re-
turning to their carriage, and were in
full view during their entire stay. which
did not exceed thirty minutes. It was
afterwards learned that the anxiety of
the officer from the fort to get the party
TO less exposed position was on ac-
count of several shots having struck but
a short distance from where they were
standing. (p 1857"
Mr.. Strait, in his account of the battle
says that asst Surg. C. C. v. A. Craw-

tain region, and the States in the
grain belt are smaller, these sections
are improving their relative indus
trial position, as a result of the out
lays for production facilities.
A dispersal of defense plants has
two obvious advantages. First, it
reduces the possibility of a successful
attack, by air or other means, on our
industrial machine Second, after
the war, it will tend to decrease the
former geogra phical concentration of
industry, thus helping to maintain a
better economic balance between the
various regions of the United States.
Though political considerations
should never be permitted to govern
the location of defense plants, it is
to be hoped that the administration
will continue policy of wide dis
tribution, SC far as this can be done
without impeding the defense pro-
gram or violating the requirements
of military strategy.
The change in the relative indus
trialization of different regions has
made necessary substantial migra-
tion of workers, a movement that
has been under way for many months.
AS Mr.. Wilson points out, the location
of new defense plants clearly indi-
Gates that the migration is far from
its end. Since these population shifts
inevitably will have far-reaching eff
fects on our national economy. their
Implications merit careful study both
by the Government and the business
community.

Unfortunate Precedent

1t has been a wise practice on the
part Of the United States Govern
ment to diSclaim responsibility, in
It's relations with other powers, for
what is printed in the American
press. To accept responsibility, of
course, is Immediately contradictory
to the basic principles of free press.
In his public apology to Chile for
an article printed in the magazine
Time, President Roosevelt has gone
much further than mere castigation
OF an American publication for
printing matter which he regards as
offensive. For while it is perfectly
proper for the President to disagree,
and to disagree as violently as he
chooses, with what is printed by an
American publication, it becomes an
entirely different matter when he
apologies in the name of the United
States Government for the same
thing. More than once the State
Department. with perfect propriety,
has declined to accept the RESPONSE
bility implied in an apology to pro-
testing foreign powers, emphasizing
as legitimate excuse the freedom
OF the American press
One may understand the Presi-
dents personal sentiments over
publication of matter which makes
more difficult his efforts toward
strengthening the relations between
the United States and the Latin
American powers. But the danger Of
the Presidents precedent is that, to
be logically consistent, he must apol-
ogize for many other things printed
In Americas free press which an
tagonize our friends abroad, or else
see TO it that nothing Of that sort is
printed. And as he can do neither,
he has made more difficult the ap-
peasement of future protestants,
where failure to apologize might be
accepted as indicating agreement
with the offending publication.
