frightens the songsters.
There may appear to be no reason
why 1t should make them afraid, but
that really has nothing to do with 1t; II
it frightens them, that Is all that is
necessary.
1t will keep them away just as we'll as
II 1t were hawk.
Any unusual object, which was not
there before, may be the offender in any
given case.
Look over the layout, and be sure that
nothing unusual is left around.
Especially make sure that the new
object is not in a shape which bird life
might no like; we thought afterwards
that the piece of suet was somewhat in
the shape of a mouse. Now birds fear
mice, and many humans will understand
that.
Suet, as a bird food, is somewhat over
rated. 1t has its uses, especially in ex-
tremely cold weather. But the number
Of species which cares for 1t is small, at
the best.
1t will attract both dogs and starlings,
neither of which is among the desir-
ables at small feeding stations in the
winter
There is nothing starting likes better
than suet unless it be bread. A dough-
nut is fine for these birds, if you like
starlings and many persons do, despite
all the hue and cry against them
During the recent warm spell the
starlings thought it was spring, and
who could blame them They began their
springtime whistlng. These whistles are
in three levels, one of them exactly re-
sembling a small boy whistling to his
pal down the street The others are
lower pitched, but equally as pleasant
to the human ear. Few birds have
softer whistles than the starting. There
is little doubt that many persons hear
these whistles and have no idea in the
world from which bird they come. If
the hearer happens to be a person who
is professional startling hater, he would
not admit startling could make such
a pleasant sound even if it were proved
to him.
we nuDP OOugnnut on wire
thinking some of the smaller birds might
like it.
Starlings found it.
In few minutes they had picked II
completely through, so that it fell into
the yard
What great hub-bub there was then
among the dozen starlings present!
They fought and wrangled over the
doughnut until it was entirely gone,
which was not long, for starlings are
both greedy and efficient.
Winter bands of these birds furnish
honest amusement in any garden, pro-
vided the audience sees with an open
mind. That is what We are called upon
to do at play, isn't it?
If we were to attend a theater with
the preconceived idea that all the play
ers in the play were frauds, the action
untrue to life, and the dialog silly. we
would not get much from it.
Let us be sure that we are true to our
selves and to our feathered actors in
the amusing play in the garden called
Feeding the Winter Birds"

Burdiu: British Blitz

It was the proud boast or the
German Army in its lightning thrust
through the Low Countries and
France last spring that victory was
due, not to new weapons, but to a
hitherto unheard Of team work be-
tween all branches of the service.
Competent observers, including prom
inent American military experts,
went so far as to say that, by this
novel synchronization, the Germans
had evolved what amounted to a
virtually new art of war.
Yet nothing that the Germans
have accomplished could be tech
nically finer than the feat performed
by the British in their current storm
ing of Bardia, the Italian stronghold
in Eastern Libya. So formidable were
the Italian defenSeS of steel, con-
crete and barbed wire, that the Brit
ish high command at first intimated
that Bardia would be masked and
reduced by slow siege in order to
dNUlu lIlS 1ooo VI ll1t "4llSll iVo Se1P-
ture by assault would presumably
involve.
Now, however, Bardia has been
taken by a three-day assault in
which the British Army, Navy and
air force operated in perfect unison.
Every weapon, from the flfteen-lnch
guns of battleships and monitors to
bayonets and hand grenadeS, played
it's proper role. Rolling salvoes from
the fleet pulverized harbor forts and
tore down cliffs hiding masked bat
teries. Bombers Shuttled ceaSeleSSly
overhead at their deadly work. Long
lines of tanks roared triumphantly
across barbedwire entanglements
and over trenches which artillery
barrages had reduced to flaming
rubbish. The defenders seem to have
resisted creditably, but their best
efforts were vain, and the number
of prisoners taken by the British in
dicates that most Italian units sur
rendered when further fighting be-
came hopeless. Thereby, a picked
rear guard of some $4,000 men has
ceased to exist.
This shattering blow can hardly
fail to have momentouS conse-
ouences. Already, Marshal Graziani
is estimated to have lost at least
$4,000 out of the 250000 troops which
he possessed in Libya when the Brit
ish began their counterdrive. Cut off
as the marshal is from home by the
iron ring of the British naval block
ade, his losses of men and materiel
cannot be replaced, while Britain
can replenish her North African
army at will. 1t will be interesting to
see what effect these repeated
disasters will have upon the native
troops which form a considerable
percentage of Grazianis forces.
Libya has been an Italian colony less
than thirty years, and was subdued
only after much fighting with the
natives in which the most ruthless
methods we're employed. With the
British fleet and land forces pushing
westward, and the Royal Air Force
ranging over Libya far and wide, it
may well be that we shall soon wit
ness the first installment of Church
Ills warning that Italy's colonial en-
pire would be torn to shreds and
patches"

uled eventually to be improved with
an overpass and clover leaf which
will definitely eliminate congestion
and permit diversion of some of the
streams of traffic which now converge
between the outlet bridge of Tidal
Basin and the entrance of the Bu-
reau of Engraving. Building a SIM
pie clover leaf at this time would not
be substitute for the overpass, but,
to large extent, it would serve as
part of the final project and in
the meantime would contribute to
greater safety and smoother traffic
movement at this point.

On on Old Sun DiuI

From the eternal silences old Time
Creepeth with even and relentless pace;
Laying a shadowy finger for a space
Upon this storm-stained dial, with Its
rhyme
Half hidden by the garden dust and
CRIME.
But, when the sungod giveth place
To Hesperus, none on this brass may
trace
Times flight, nor mark the warning
words sublimel
Might is the tomb of Timel" We put
aside
The restless energies OF the bright day,
To steep the soul in the slow-drifting tide
OF sleep! We with the fading sunlighs
stray
Into the darkness and without guide
Till Dawn upon lifes dial points the
way!

Study of Alcohol

For the past three years the Ameri-
can Association for the Advancement
of Science has been making a new
sort of attack on the alcohol problem.
The program has been calculated
effort to find out just how the drug
affects the human system, why it is
habit-forming, how it permeates the
tissues, what effects it has on them.
This body OF knowledge Is essen
tial to any practical program of re-
form. In the past the whole subject
has been clouded by emotionalism.

Wants Critics of Britain
To Get Together"
To the Editor Of The Sta,

To the Editor Of The Star:
I, too, would like to congratulate The
Star on its fairmindedness in affording
Senator Wheeler time on its National
Radio Forum to air his interventioniSt
proposals for negotiated peace" This
attitude of The Star would appear to
controvert Secretary Ickes thesis re-
garding the unfairness of certain sec
tions of the press. In view of the we'll
known editorial policy of The Star, sup
porting logical efforts for the defense
of the United States by giving the ut
most aid to Britain, the generosity Of
this newspaper reminds me of the IA
nous statement attributed to Voltaire
about defending to the death the right
of free speech for those who disagree
with us.
But I must also most heartily con-
gratulate The Star for its powerful edi-
torial on the following day, tearing Sem
ator Wheelers speech to tatters and ex-
posing its foolish fallacies and its monu-
mental naivete.
What I liked least about Senator
Wheeler's talk was its rabble-rousing
references to tories over here and roy
atty over there. What a laugh! I ven-
ture to say that this is the first time that
the present occupant of the White House
has ever been called tory.
1t seems to me that the critics of Brit
ain should get together. The way they
pull in opposite directions is making them
slightly ridiculous. On the one hand we
hear people like Senator Wheeler re-
ferring to royalty and ruling classes. And
on the other hand we hear people crying
democracy in England is finished" and
that the Socialists will proceed to take
charge without further ado. The only
conclusion to be drawn is that Britain's
middle ground of democracy must be in
pretty good shape to merit such attacks
from both extremes. A READER.

Advocates Establishing
International Police Court.

To the Editor of The Star:
never was in favor of a League of
Nations, but I am convinced that an
international police court, with the
proper backing, is what the world needs
When England wins this war with or
without our man force, the British En-
pire and the United States must keep
armed to the teeth and together consti-
tute a world court. Then if any nation
grows obstreperouS, the court can call
it to order and have the means to compel
it to behave.
What would the city of New York de-
generate into, if for only one week the
police force were to be withdrawn? If
that is the case in this most enlightened
country in the world, what about other
countries who do not respect truth,
kindness or decency?
II England and the United States
come together with an adequate armed
force and institute an international
police court, it will solve the question of
preserving law and order among nations.
At least, why not give it trial?

Let us hope that our people will escape
the horrors of war. We learn little by
experience. A score of years ago, we
sought to make the world safe for
democracy and succeeded in making it
unsafe. Plunging into the bloody waters
of the present foreign conflict would
amount to madness.
