Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON W. BURGESS.

who is Butcher the shrike2"
asked Peter Rabbit.
Hes new to the Old Orchard"
replied Skinner, and you probably
haven't noticed him. I've often seen
him in the South. There he Is now
on the tiptop of that tree over
yonder."
Peter and Johnny Chuck looked
eagerly They saw q bird who at
first glance appeared not unlike
Mocker the Mockingbird. He was
dressed wholly In black, gray and
white. When he turned his head
they saw black stripe across the
side of his face and that the tip
of his bill was hooked. These were
enough to make them forget that
otherwise he was like Mocker. While
they were looking at him he few
down into the grass and picked up
q grasshopper Then for some dis
tance he few with steady, even
night only little above the ground,
suddenly shooting up and returning
to the perch where they had first
seen him. There he ate the grass
hopper and resumed his watch for
something else to catch.
He certainly has wonderful eyes,"
said Skinner admiringly. He must
have seen that grasshopper way over
there in the grass before he started
after it, for he flew straight down
He doesn't waste time and energy
hunting aimleSsly. He sits on high
perch and watches until he sees
something he wants. Many times
I've seen him sitting on top of a
telegraph pole. I understand that
Bully the English Sparrow has be-
come terribly nervous since the
arrival Of Butcher. He Is particu-
larly fond Of English Sparrows. L
presume it was one Of Bully's chill
dren you saw in the thorn tree,
Peter. For my part. 1 hope he'll
frighten Bully into leaving the Old
Orchard. 1t would be a good thing
for the rest of U.S."
But I don't understand why he
fastens his victims on those long
thorns," said Peter.
For two reasons" replied SKIM
mer. When he catches more grass
hoppers and insects than he can
eat he sticks them on those thorns
so that later he may be sure of a
good meal If 1t happens there are no
more to be caught when he is
hungry. Mice, Sparrows and things
too big for him to swallow he sticks
on the thorns so that he can pull
them to pieces easier. You see, his
feet and claws are not big enough
to hold them while he tears them
to pieces with his hooked bill"
Does he kill many birds?" asked
Peter.
Not many replied Skinner,
"and most of those are English
Sparrows He is a good deal like
Killy the Sparrow Hawk in this re-
spect. Hello! Now what's hap
pened?"

Britain Will Declare War On Three Nations
Finland, Hungary Rumania Will Hear Ultimatunl,
 Probably By Tomorrow; Didn't Answer Britain

that they called for & reply not later than today"
 It was indicated strongly that tho government had no hope Of reeelv- Ing favorable replies from tho coun- tries concerned, Cast Lots With NaSls
 The feeling was that Finland, as well as Hungary and Rumania, had now cast Its lot irrctfievably with Germany and against tho Allies and that any hope of alienating them lay with the future.
 Radio Vlcily reported from Hel- Ankt that Finland had sent sri' tain . note rejecting the ultimatum'
 Britain had sought energetlcally to induce Finland, especially, to stop fighting Russia, holding that any reason 1t hAd had to aid Ger many in order to regain territory 1t lost to Russia in the winter war of l93e- le4o, had now ceased to ex. iSt.
 Russia had long sought & British declaration Of war against Finland and was understood to have mace it plain that it would regard such n declaration . valuable assurance Of unstinting British support of the Anglo. Russian alliance.
 Diplomatic quarters expressed be: lief that q British declaration oi the existence of & state Of war with Finland Hungary and Rumania was imminent.
 Authoritative informants would say only that new phases" Of the situation would be reached # Bri- tain failed to get favorable replies Ey midnight.
 They pointed out that at present Britain had no diplomatic relations with Finland, Hungary and Ru" mania. which are warning on Rus gla, and said that any further de. terioration from this position would probably constitute situation In which Britain as RuAsla'S ally would be involved against them.
 Sent Through U. S.
 The notes to the three countries were sent through the United States ministers at Helsinki, Budapest and Bucharest.
 It was pointed out that the situa- ton as regards Bulgaria was dif- ferent from that of the others be- cause though German troops occu- pied 1t, 1t was not warning on Rus gia.
 There has been speculation in diplomatic quarters on the intrinsic effect of 8 British declaration against Rumania, especially.
 Rusda in the early stage of the Russo German war bombed Ru- mania heavily, but the German ad- vance in the south deprived 1t of air bases within effective range.
 At Rostov, the Russians are 400 miles from the nearest point in Ru- mania. British Cyprus is 500 miles from the Rumanian southeast coast.
