Quotes Lincoln's Reply
To Critics Of His Administration.
To the Editor of The Star

To the Editor of The Star.
During the dark days of 1862 a COM
pany of business men from the West
were calling upon President Lincoln at
the Executive Mansion. They were trou-
bled about the commissions omissions
and blind blunders of the administration.
For half an hour the President listened
patiently to their complaints and criti-
cisms. His reply, however, was disarm-
ing. 1t carries a thought which we'll
might be pondered by the critics, COM
planners and "snipers." of the present
administration:
"Gentlemen, suppose all the property
you were worth was in gold, and you
had put 1t in the hands of Blondin
(Charles Blondin, who in private life was
Jean Francois Gravelet, had first crossed
Niagara Falls on a wire tightrope in
1855. He repeated the feat in 1859 and
again In l860) to carry across the Nj
agara River on rope; would you shake
the cable, or keep shouting out to him
Blondin, stand up a little straighter-
Blondin, stoop a little more-go little
faster-lean little more to the north
lean little more to the south? No,
you would hold your breath as well as
your tongue, and keep your hands of
until he was safe over. The Government
is carrying an immense weight. Un-
told treasures are in their hands. They
are doing the best they can. Don't
badger them. Keep silence, and weu get
you safe across" LEONORA W. WOOD.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. Trdce1Deu.
Often they chase away other songsters

Often they chase away other songSters,
a habit which at times strikes some
observers as rather dog-in-the-
mangerish.
The males usually stick around all
winter long, while the females go South.
We do not believe that many of the
males go with them. Birds which have
been consistent in coming to yard and
which then disappear are probably not
gone South, but simply have taken up a
new winter abode in the neighborhood.
1t must not be forgotten that today
there are many, many times as many
persons feeding the wintering birds as
ever before.
This means that the competition for
the Knockers will at times be rather keen.
1t is not at all impossible that faithful
mockingbird will succumb to the blan-
dishments Of a neighbor.
This winter has been an unusually
good one for this species.
We have seen more of them in nearby
Maryland than ever before. Brookville
road in particular is full Of them.
Privately we have renamed this road
Mockingbird lane.
Moo Cow lane is another road name
which we hope to see adopted some time
When we came out to Maryland there
were COWS mooing in the distance. You
could hear them plainly early in the
morning.
Since there are many Implications of
street names in and around Washington,
the first essential in any remaining
scheme would seem to be to get rid of
the Implications.
Take Quincy street for instance. There
are already a couple Of Quincy streets in
the District
What shall we have. then. Quisling
street?
Well, hardly!
But Moo Cow lane would do nicely, it
seems TO us. even If strict alphabetical
order had to be sacrificed.
The mockingbird really deserves to be
classed with the bluejay when it comes
to real American independence and self
reliance.
While the latter is a quality which
most birds manifest in order to live,
somehow it seems as if the jays and
Knockers demonstrate it just a little
better than most.
There is no sight in small garden
more interesting than that of mocking-
bird flashing down from the vicinity of
its nest to chase away an approaching
cat or cog.
He is veritable bomb b-diver as he
flies directly at the intruder.
Often this flight is begun not higher
than six feet. The decline is straight as
an arrow to the enemy, which may not
stand more than foot high.
The bird tries to strike the animal in
the middle of its back, and only the
agility Of the four-legged creature pre-
vents perfect hit.

the politicians" The last years of his
life found him supporting co-opera-
ton with "the world capitalism of the
Anglo-Saxons" which he had feared
and hated in his youth. He died
March 6, 1880.
1t is logical that the newest Nazi
seagoing fortress should be named
for him, but it is interesting to
wonder what might have happened
If Won Tirpitz's visit to Washington
in 1902 had led to an understanding
among the powers exempting hu-
manity from first one World War and
now another. Such an arrangement
was not infeasible. 1t simply did
not come to pass, the more the pity.

MCLEAN, Va.

Dear Sir.
I'VE always read and enjoy your inter-
esting columns, as we are all bird lovers
and spend many happy hours watching
different birds feed at our feeding shelf,
which is securely fastened outside one
of the windows of our inclosed back
porch, so we can place fresh water and
food at all times by Just raising the
window.
Although we are fond of many of the
birds, our favorite is Billie, our pet
mockingbird. He is beautiful light
gray bird with white in his wings and
tail and he is wonderful singer. He
has stayed with us for six Or seven
years. Each spring he goes South. then
comes back with his mate. They raise
two families in our rose trellis. Each
fall his family goes South, but Billie
stays with us all winter, and in the
mornings when our light goes on in the
kitchen he chirps and flies to tree
nearby.
I'VE feed him raisins, suet, doughnuts
and apples. He is king and ruler in our
yard.
~
Last year he was i'll, must have had
flu. He sneezed and shivered so we felt
sorry for him and I gave him some
medicine. He disappeared February %.
1941, and we thought something had
happened to him, but no doubt he
stayed South all summer until he became
L l. -, Ill, x.,;tl !,
us. full of pep, and we are glad to see
him.
When we call Billie he knows we are
calling to him. He turns his head and
chirps every time We say his name.
When two or more bluejays or sew
eral starlings come near his feeding
shelf he gives loud, shrill call and con-
tinues to make this sound until one OF
us comes to the window and the other
birds fly away.
Then he is perfectly contented.
He also makes this same call when
he sees cat or dog in our yard, but he
isn't the least bit afraid of us.
I'VE often stand at the window talking
to him and each afternoon when we are
in the living room listening to the radio,
Billie. too, seems to enjoy the programs,
as he sits in the shrubs as near the
window nearest the radio as he can, and
II 1t is possible for a bird to express
pleasure, Billie surely seems to do it and
to enjoy seeing US or hearing us call his
name.
Hoping many other readers have pet
bird which gives them as much happiness
as our Billie,
Sincerely. II. z. B."
Mockingbirds seem a great deal more
personal than most species.
They come impartially to city and
suburban yards and make themselves

Bonds and Psychology

Now that there seems to be an &C
celebrating trend away from pre-Pearl
Harbor defense psychology and to-
ward an aggressive, fighting attitude
of all-out offense against the enemy,
1t is time for a revival of proposals
to change the name of Defense bonds
to something more descriptive of
Americas wartime frame of mind.
Some time ago, when the Treasury
was beginning to receive such sug-
gested names as War Bonds" and
Victory Bonds" President Roosevelt
indicated at a press conference that
while the remaining plan had some
merit, the original name for these
securities had become so firmly fixed
in the public mind that a change in
designation might result in con-
fusion. But might it not be argued,
with equal logic, that it would be un-
wise to change from defense pro-
gram to war program because the
public might be confused?
AS a matter of fact, the time has
arrived to shake from the public mind
all remnants of any flxation which
savors of outmoded Maginot Line
concepts of waging war against an
offense- minded Axis combination.
Static strategy so far has netted the
democracies nothing but disaster
after disaster AS President RooSe-
velt said yesterday in his lease-lend
report, "the war can only be won by
contact with the enemies, and by
attack upon them. The offensive
that the United Nations must and
will drive into the heart of the Axis
will take the entire strength that we
possess"
A change Of mind Is what is needed

Martial Law?

Has martial law supplanted civil
authority in Washington? District
officials and local residents are pom
dering this question as result of
the sudden and unheralded closing
of Van Ness street, near the Bureau
of Standards, "by order of the Sec
retary of War" The closing of this
important link between Connecticut
avenue and Reno road-a move
which vigorous opposition by the citi-
zens and by the Commissioners had
frustrated In times paSt-WaS ac-
complished by the simple eXpedieht
of placing signs at each end of the
closed section. There we're no public
hearings. There was no advance an
nouncement. There was not even
a formal notice to the Commissioners,
who, by act of Congress, have held
jurisdiction over the road In fact,
the first word that District officials
received of this astounding move
came from newspaper reporters.
DR.. Lyman j. Briggs. director OF
the Bureau of Standards, said yes
terday that the decision to close the
street" was made by Brig. Gen. Al
bert L. Cox, who recently was ap-
pointed provost marshal for the Dis
trict. DR.. Briggs has made numerous
efforts in the past to have the street
closed, on the ground that it might
facilitate sabotage attempts on the
bureaus laboratories. But it has
been pointed out that the bureau
could forestall sabotage just as we'll
by erecting fences along both sides
of the street.
In view of the record Of opposition
by the citizens, by District authorities
and by members of Congress, the un-
explained action by Gen. Cox is baf-
fling, to say the least. Ordinarily a
provost marshal exercises such dras-
tic authority only when martial law
has been declared in a community,
or when some great emergency re-
quires immediate action. So far as
District officials know, the reasons
for closing Van Ness street are no
more compelling now than they were
when DR.. Briggs first began his cam
paign to achieve that goal several
years ago. And if Provost Marshal
Cox has authority arbitrarily to close
Van Ness street, he presumably also
has the authority to close Pennsyl-
vania avenue or F street, without re-
gard to what the citizens of Washing
ton, or the Commissioners or Con-
gress may think about it. 1t is hard
to believe, however, that military rule
has superseded congressional and ad-
ministrative authority in the District
of Columbia. Washington is entitled
to full and prompt explanation of
Gen. Cox's "decision' to act without
so much as extending the Commis-
sioners the courtesy of notification

J. Fred EssorY

As Washington correspondent Of
the Baltimore Sun for almost thirty
years. Fred Essary's name was per-
haps better known in Baltimore and
in Maryland than in Washington.
But Mr.. Essary himself was best
known in Washington. For during
his long period of service here he
was a distinguished leader of the
Washington corps of correspond
ents, a real member of the working
press" and a gentleman who made
and kept friends. Few members of
his craft have been held in such high
esteem by their fellows or by the
members of Washington's official
families-and he knew many genera
tions of them Intimately.
AS an active newspaperman he was
on the front line Of the news through
four epochal decades. As a youngster
he covered the Wright brothers air.
plane flight at Kittyhawk; later, in
Washington, he sent one of the first
wireless newspaper dispatches from
the Capital, having discovered
through reportorial ingenuity that
this was the only way he could clear
the story of Taft's inaugural from
snow-bound city. And, for more than
a quarter of century, almost every
important Washington story ap-
peared in the Sun under his by-line.
When he retired from active duty
last November because of i'll health,
he told a reporter that he would have
time leiSurely to contemplate some of
the incidents Of an eventful life
without having to rush to meet a
deadline. That contemplation must
have brought him the deep salts
faction of one who knows he has
completed an assignment with honor
and with the love and respect of
those who knew him.

Criticizes Senator Byrd's Attitude
Toward Mead -Ramspeck Bill.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Senator Byrd of Virginia has built up
reputation as watchdog of the
Treasury and the taxpayers friend. He
took the lead in the Senate in opposing
and repeating the Congressional Civil
Service Pension. But it would appear in
that fight that the Senator had one eye
on the Treasury and the poor taxpayers,
and the other on securing votes, because
he made no effort to defeat or repeal the
Mead-Ramspeck bill as a whole He
only attacked that part of the bill that
permitted Senators and Congressman to
retire under the Civil Service Pension
plan.
The purpose Of the Mead d-Ramspeck
bill was to increase pensions to all Civil
Service employees, especially those in the
high salary brackets, and to permit many
other Government employees to retire
under the Civil Service Pension plan
An official of the Civil Service Com
mission. estimating the increase of the
Mead -Ramspeck bill. said: The estimate
now on the basis of the membership as
of June 80. 1941, is s155 925 300, making
the cost of H. R. 3487 the Mead-Ram-
speck bilD sl9,00O,0O0 more than the

A Name Prompts Memories

When news was received in Wash
ington yesterday that the latest and
largest Nazi battleship had been
sighted, apparently heading into &C
ton in the North Atlantic, the minds
of at least a few local residents must
have gone back to an event of forty
years ago. The name of the most
recent addition to Hitler's fleet re-
calls a spectacle which certain
oldsters cannot have forgotten.
On February %, 1902, the veteran
survivors of another age could tell
their younger neighbors, there came
to the Capital of the United States
as a welcome guest His Royal High
ness Prince Henry of Prussia, brother
of the Emperor William II. He was
met at the old Pennsylvania Railroad
Station, Sixth and B streets. by Sec
retary Of State John Hay, represent
ing President Theodore Roosevelt
In the ensuing procession up the
Avenue to the White House, the
second carriage was occupied by Sec
retary of the Navy John D. Long
and the Secretary of State for the
Imperial German Navy, Vice Admiral
Alfred Won Tirpitz.
The latter already was famous
character. Born at Kustrin in 1849,
he had entered the PruSsian naval
service at sixteen. Probably the
greatest German student of marine
history and strategy, he was desig-
mated chief Of staff of the supreme
naval command in 1892. The fight
ing craft he subsequently constructed
were intended for effective use. HE
felt the building of a fleet to be a
necessity and no luxury, since it
made Germany a more acceptable
ally and helped to create sort of
balance of power at sea-"
But Won Tirpitz throughout his
whole career remained a pacifist Of
a kind at heart. He never asked for
war and always believed that war
could only interrupt Germany's rise"
His ultimate aim was a rapproche-
ment with Britain based on parallel
power on the water as we'll as on the
land. In 1914, he was for avoiding
the threatened war at all costs" but
"his advice was hardly listened to by

wherever the old ideas of defensive
warfare linger. We need to change
from defense production to war pro-
duction, from defense schedules to
war schedules, from defense strategy
to total war strategy. A change in
name from Defense bonds to War
bonds or Victory bonds or some SINH
larly appropriate appellation would
be highly effective in producing the
complete recaSting Of attitude and
thought so necessary in this critical
hour
