92.4 Cents of Every
 Sl Goes for War

WASHINGTON, Oct. - Presi- dent Roosevelt in a report to Congress disclosed that 92,4 cents of every dollar the govern ment spends in the present fiscal year will go to the war effort.
 Non-War activities get only 5,2 cents.
 Interest on the public debt re- quires 2.4 cents.
 The President requested the re. port from Budget Director liar old D. Smith "to provide a fact ual background for informed pub ';c opinion and the question of expenditures for military purposes.
 Many individuals and two spec al congressional committees lave urged reduction in these non-miliary expenditures in re- cent months.

Second Front
Hanson w. Baldwin

Operations that are srategically desirable are not always strategcally possible Therc be no doubt that within the next few weeks the opening of second front on the continent of Europe would be very desirable strategcay. But the shipping short age, supply difficulties inadequatey trained troops in sufficient numbers; the great strength of the German Notifications along the coast of Europe and the great size of the Axis armies which permit large garrisons in western Europe despite the heavy concentrations in Russia would make the establishment in the future another permanent land front in Eu- rope very very hazardous - indeed, more of a des- perate gamble than practical military operation.
 This situation will change with time, but there is little time Russias need for diversion is great Therefore increasingly intensive bombing operations coupled with large-Scale commando raids by forces of division or more are indicated immediately with the objective the eventual seizure of beachhead and the extension of that beachhead into second front next spring or if the opportunity permits-sooner.

Military Advisers Opposed


 Roosevelt's chief stumbling block, however, has been his own hillary and naval advisers, especially Admiral Leahy. Al though they have not been op- posed to a Second Front in cer- tain other areas, they have been very much opposed to the kind of second front which would sat isfy Stalin, namely in France or Northern Europe, where it would be a direct threat to Ger many. The occupation of Dakar or French West Africa apparent ly would not satisfy Stalin.
 But the opposition of certain high U. S. Army-Navy officers to a European front has been very strong indeed. There the matter rests, which is why Stalin has brought the matter so frankly and vigorously out into the open through Willkie and the Asso- ciated Press.
 What the Russians have made very clear, and what most people do not realize, is that it is not merely a matter of munitions - vital though that is-but also question of keeping the Russian people alive. Russia has now lost her granaries, and millions this winter with suffer or starve. Rus sia has also lost her coal deposits and is completely cut off from her oil-While U. s. oil compan- ies and U. s. government agen- cies have dickered and trittered away priceless months trying to decide whether Russia should be given closed-down Texas oil re- finerieS-all because the big oil companies wanted to be paid royalties (even though they nev- CT took out patents in Russia).
 Naturally, because of all this, morale is not too good in Russia. And the Willkie- -Stalin state ments are relatively mild com pared with the sentiment of the Russian people. This is what re- turning Ambassador Standley doubtless will report to the White House, and this is one of the big factors to be considered regarding a Second Front IN EUROPE.
 For Stalin has his military leaders to contend with, too.

Copenhagen AfIome

Fire Of mysterious origin is re-
ported to have reduced to ashes at
least one-quarter of Copenhagen.
If the news received from Stock
holm by way Of Rome be true, city
of great beauty and distinctive cul-
tural significance has been injured
perhaps irreparably. Further in
formation, especially concerning
what portions Of the Danish cap
ital have been burned, will be
awaited anxiously.
But Copenhagen has passed
through similar periods Of trial on
other occasions and not perished
utterly because of them. The city
was founded in the twelfth century
under the sponsorship Of Absalon,
Bishop Of Roskilde. It became the
residence and administrative center
OF King Christopher the Bavarian in
1443. Christian w, brave warrior
and a generous patron Of industry
and commerce, encouraged the de-
velopment of the Kristianshavn

bread, but Of course, milk gives more
food value.
Another good thing d piece Of cake,

One slice would not deprive any fam
lily. but it would mean . big thing for o
lone robin In his time Of need.
Raisins have been suggested for early
robin food, and they may be tried: most
Of the birds prefer the seeded rsisins.
Usually the seeded types are larger and
tuicer. II the raisfns one has are hard,
they should be steamed before being put
out for the birds. It goes without saying
that they should be brought down to q
normal temperature before being put
out.
A shallow pan Of water might be placed
In the grass for the robins.
All of these foods and the pan Of
water are best placed on the lawn at q
fairly good distance from the feeding
stations.
Not that the robins will harm the other
birds, or chase them away from their
food, but simply because there will not
be As much chance that these others
will try to take the food put out for
the early robin.
A robin pudding" may be tried.
This pudding Is composed Of equal
parts Of ground suet and beef.
This mixture also will appeal to star
lings and English sparrows, and to ali
other birds which like suet.
It also will make hit with wandering
dogs, 20 some pains must be taken to
protect it from them.
Such . dish will be gobbled up In
about two seconds by any dog worth his
salt.
He will smack his lips and look around

Much Of the prosperity of the cap
ital traced back to the so-called
Royal Law Of 1866, under which ab-
solute sovereignty was conferred
upon King Frederick III. A long
line Of monarchs qualified to merit
such a trust followed him, each con-
tributing something of his own to
the progress Of the nation and its
principal community. Christian v
widened streets and stimulated do
mestic architecture. Christian VI
established the Royal Scientific So
ciety, and Frederick v founded the
Academy Of Art. Costly fires in 1928,
1795. 1901, 1907 and 1884 served
merely to provide opportunities for
reconstruction on a grander and
more notably beautiful scale. While
Paris and London were little better
than vast slurns, Copenhagen de-
served the title Athens Of the

buildings for war ofdces, the damage by

Should such removal be made arbitrarily,

"OAK LANE.

Dear Sir:
II recently established feeding sta
ton, and have received . great deal Of
delight out Of 1t, but friend Of mine
SpoilS oil the fun by telling me that
when the robins come they will chast
all the other birds away.
"Is this true7. I do not know much
about birds, and 20 could not refute his
claim OF harm from the robins, but I
like the robins and do not like to think
Of them as mean birds.
Kindly let me know II, In your opinion,
the robins will chase away my other
birds. They would have quite . time Of
it with the jays. am sure, for those
big babies are not going to be chased by
anything. A hawk came in our yard last
week, but when 1t saw the jays and heard
the yelping they put up. 1t new sway as
II the very devil were after 1t.
IT cannot bring myself to believe that
the robins will be able to do much with
the jays, even II they are ~ belligerent
Is my friend says. but still they might
run away the chickadees and titmice and
the other small b1rdS.
II would appreciate your authorita-
tive statement about this matter.
Sincerely yours, e. K. NJ"
II our correspondent never has any
thing to worry about more than the
possibilities Of robins chasing other birds
away from feeding stations he will be q
most fortunate person.
Robins are soft-billed birds. and do
not come near bird-feeding stations.
Even II they did. they would not chase
any Of the other species.
Robins are among our finest birds.
They will be here shortly, now. Some
times the earliest arrivals come In Feb
ruary.
As q matter Of fact, this has been such
. "nutty" season, meteorologically
speaking (there's . mouthful for you)
that we would not be surprised to see
the early robins come In almost any
day, now.
We suspect that our correspondence
friend was merely trying to kid" him.
when he said robins would chase other
birds away.
There are few finer birds than Amer
ica's robin, with Its fine upstanding hab-
its, its merry warble and its all-around
good conduct, including minding its own
business.
No other songster has anything to fear
from the robins.
In eating habits, particularly, the
robins have ways Of their own, which
seldom conflict with other birds.
They eat fruits and angleworms, and
do not 60 In much for seeds or grains.
The construction Of their bills pre-
cludes them eating hard foods Of any
kind.
That is why they prefer worms. While
their bill structure Is not really soft. 1t
is not firm enough to enable them to
