Coost Guard Transfer

In view OF the grave emergency
which the United States faces in the
Krowing threat Of Axis aggression,
and the need for mobilizing our
maximum sea power to assure an
uninterrupted flow Of war materials
10 Great Britain, the transfer of the
Coast Guard to the Navy, effected by
the President in an executive order
announced on Monday, is a logical
move. With q fleet of some 29O ships,
exclusive Of picket boats and small
auxiliaries, and a personnel OF ap-
proximately $4,000 officers and en-
listed men, the Coast Guard will
constitute q valuable reinforcement
70 the Navy in maintaining the free
dom Of the seas.
Like the Navy, of which it is now a
part, the Coast Guard inherits a
uroud tradition of service to the Ma
ton. During the World War, it be-
came temporarily part Of the Navy.
The cutter Tampa, on escort duty
between Gibraltar and Great Britain.
vas sunk on September 26, 1918, by
the German submarine U-53. The
Tampa went down with its entire
complement of more than 100 men.
With the exception of the Cyclops,
whose disappearance still remains
one Of the unsolved mysteries of the
sea, this was the largest single loss
sustained by the Navy in the World
VaY.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E, Trdce1pell,

This bird is common to Europe, Asia
and North America. 1t breeds in the
Far North. In this hemisphere, Alaska
and Labrador are the chosen breeding
grounds.
Polar explorers found this bird once
they had gone past the Esquimo villages.
The bunting eats various weed seeds
and even grasses, when he can get
nothing else. Sometimes, when hard
pushed for something to eat, he will
consume eggs Of various locusts.
John Burroughs says of the snow-
flake:
"The only one of our winter birds that
really seems part OF the winter, that
seems to be born Of the whirling snow,
and to be happiest when storms drive
thickeSt and cOldest, is the snow bunt-
ing. the real snoWbird with plumage
copied from the fields where the drifts
hide all but the tops of the tallest
weeds, large spaces Of pure white touched
here and there with black and gray and
brown.
ats twittering call and chirrup, COM
Ing out of the white obscurity, is the
sweetest and happiest of all winter
sounds. 1t is like the laughter of chill
dren. The fox hunter hears 1t on the
snowy hills, the farmer hears it when
he goes to fodder his cattle from the
distant stack, the country schoOlboy
hears it as he breaks his way through
the drifts toward the school. 1t is ever
voice of good cheer and contentment."
At little distance, the snow bunting,
or snowflake, seems pure white.
The head and breast are white, barely
touched with faint brown.
The wings and back are black, streaked
with brown.
The feet are black.
1t probably would mix very we'll with
the juncos, which We more commonly
call snowbird in these parts.
Only recently we have seen flock Of
at least two dozen juncos. This flock
has been in the back yard several times,
mixed with various sparrows.
The Lapland longspur has very little
if any white on it. The male, at breed
ing time, is marked with black on its
head and down the breast so that it
somewhat resembles the male toUhee.
Not all snow buntings are as long as
eight inches. Many are not more than
six and one-half to seven inches in
length.
Experts say that if year is to be a
snow bunting year." the first few birds
are followed by large flocks. and that
these spread out in search of the weed
seeds the birds love.
There is not much likelihood that this
will be a snowflake year hereabouts, but
since there is possibility, those persons
interested in the various phases of bird
life should be on the watch for them.
Fortunately, this is not a difficult one
to identify, since it is so different from
the other birds which winter here.

Another Task Force

In the process of developing for
this country the special task forces
that have been so essential to quick
success in modern warfare, the Army
is turning its attention to forming
a battalion of mountain infantry
at Fort Lewis, Washington, where
the lofty slopes of Mount Rainier
are easily accessible for initial train
ing.
This new battalion, in time, will
become a full regiment. Bearing in
mind the rapid expansion of the
original parachute company, 1t seems
a foregone conclusion that the Army
is planning to build a much larger
force of mountain trained infantry,
a force possibly comparable in size
to a division with its full compile
ment of supporting arms.
As a nucleus for the supporting
services the Army could draw upon
it's five mountain or pack" field
artillery battalions, at least one Of
which has been in existence many
years. Perhaps that is what the War
Department has In mind, for another
of these seasoned units is stationed
at Fort Lewis and no doubt will be
used to help train the new infantry
men in the rigors of mountain ma
neuvering. In addition to this ar
tillery, the several detachments of
ski and snowshoe troops already in
training might be merged into the
ranks of the mountain infantry.
The need of troops with special
equipment and training for noun
tain warfare was revealed early in
the first World War. Bearing these
lessons in mind, Germany took steps
to organize special mountain forces
as soon as it began rebuilding its
military machine. The Polish and
particularly the Norwegian cam
paign demonstrated their value in
q pinch. It is now known that Ger

Coast Guards Hawaiian district,
under Navy orders. In recent
months, Coast Guard cutters have
been taking part in the Atlantic pa
troll and working with the Navy on
other assignments. Though in
peacetime its principal duties are
the saving of lives, enforcement Of
the customs and other laws, and
the policing of the coastal waters,
the Coast Guard is military service.
Its officers and men are we'll
equipped for their new duties, since
their training, in many respects, has
been similar to that of the Navy's
personnel.
In addition to it's fleet Of cutters,
the Coast Guard has shore stations
capable of rendering valuable service
in patrolling beaches and coastal
areas in time of war. It also main
tains an efficient and extensive COM
munications system. This, too, should
be useful to the Navy.
