apparent ease and to fire their tor
pedoes and shells with such deadly
effect in waters more than 500 miles
west of Trinidad naturally is q mat
ter Of grave concern.
The question that logically follows
is this: II enemy submarines can
operate successfully 500 miles west
of our bases guarding the Caribbean
Sea, what is to prevent them from
pushing TOO miles farther west
ward-to the Panama Canal? Sub
marines, even under the most favor
able conditions, probably could not
make an effective attack on the
Canal itself, but, If they are able to
cruise in the adjacent waters, they
undoubtedly could cause considerable
damage to our warships protecting
the waterway and to our supply ships
passing through it.
1t is evident that this new menace
must be dealt with promptly. The
raids indicate the necessity for in
tensified air patrol of the whole area,
for constant vigilance by surface
craft and, perhaps, for additional
mining operations-assuming that
some mine fields already have been
laid in the gateways to the Carib-
bean.

THIS AND THAT
BY Charles Z. Trace,ceH.

Several years ago . feeding station In
q neighborhood was unusual.
Today there are 80 many persons In
terested in this sport that no one hnds
1t novel.
This means that the birds have q
great many more places to 60 to hnd
food, and no one can expect them to
do anything else than to take advantage
of the profusion offered them.
The background birds, Is we have so
often called them, are English sparrows.
Even In the suburbs there are many
of them. Now these finches love to
fly around In bands. Where one goes.
the rest will follow, as q sort of merry
game. Few birds get more sheer enjoy
ment out of living.
- -
These sparrows. by suddenly leaving
a station and streaking 1t across yards
to some other well-stocked tray, set
the pace for all the other birds.
We have watched this more than
once. and feel sure that the other birds,
knowing how wise and canny the spar
rows are, figure out to themselves that
II the sparrows are visiting the Jones

they had better 60 over. too.
Another reason why birds sometimes
fail to appear at q given station is the

The predator may not be visible to
the human eye, that Is true. Birds,
however, have ways all their own of
detecting him.
The blue jays often warn the smaller
birds Of the hawks. II there has been .
particularly outlandish screaming for
q few moments by the jays. followed by
q total disappearance Of all bird life,
the chances are that the big blue birds
were giving warning to their small
friends.
Sometimes q dead bird will scare them
away.
It is always good plan to look around
after the disappearance OF the feeders.
Occasionally q bit Of paper, blown
over beneath q station, viii frighten
them.
Any new food in the tray. especially
If it is white, will frighten most of our
wild birds. no matter how familiar they
may be with the place.

the best Of good WILL scared scores OF
birds away from one thriving station.
All in all, there are many reasons why
birds suddenly will desert yard Small
boys with air rifles and proving cats
sometimes are responsible.
The thing to do is to try to determine
the cause. and to correct it.
Following that. there Is nothing to
do but keep the station veil stocked, and
wait results. Hunger Is q powerful
motive. In such . world as this. 1t will
bring 'em back, In time.

have disappeared down the mouth
of this great war.
Lithuania and her Baltic neigh
bors, Latvia and Estonia, present a
peculiar problem because they lost
their freedom not to Germany but
to Russia, which annexed them in
1910. Russia now is our ally. But
the American Government eighteen
months ago stated emphatically and
precisely its view that the Baltic
countries loss of independence was
illegal and announced its refusal to
recognize any change in their SOW
ereignty. The American Govern
ment adheres to that point of view,
and the American people, desiring
fair play and dedicated to the propo-
sition that nations have the right to
arrange their own affairs, support
the Governments point of view.

Wants Permanent Employees
Protected Against Arbitrary Removal.
To the Editor of The Star:


Thousands of permanent civil service
employees have been transferred from
Washington to various distant cities Just
about as the slaves were sold down the
river" before the Civil War. This whole
sale removal of employees was ordered
to make room for temporary employees
who will be here for the duration Of
the war and then return to their homes
Many temporary employees return home
almost Immediately because Of the high
cost Of living in Washington. The ma
jority Of the permanent employees had
bought homes here in order to live at q
reasonable cost and now they are COM
PEELED to move to other cities and start
paying high rents. Many OF the perma-
nent employees have children in school.
The majority Of the temporary employees
are single people.
Why not start night shift Of en-
ployes to gain office space and build
dormitories for the army OF single en-
ployes and thus avoid forcing the re-
moval Of permanent employees at high
cost to the employees themselves and to
the Government? ONE WHO KNOWS.

Parasite Plan

The great parasite controversy still
RACES in Washington, with the para
sites on the defensive. They are, of
course, not we'll organized-nobody
wants the position and notoriety OF
chief parasite-but they fight back
under cover, determined to hold their
positions at all costs.
Vigorously on the side Of the Wash
ington parasites is the vast majority
of people In other localities threat
ened by invasion in case they lose.
These folk have enough parasites Of
their own. A better plan, perhaps,
would be for Uncle Sam to establish
a parasite reservation out West, and
not be selfish in limiting its inhabi-
tants to Washingtonians. Let them
come from everywhere, and let the
space be ample to accommodate
hotdes of cigarette moochers, dinner
check fumblers and relatives who
drop In unlimited for the week end.
There let them live of each other,
and, In the ensuing battle royal, may
the best parasite win.

Caribbean Menace

The attack by Axis submarines on

the Dutch West Indies has implica-

that damage was inflicted on vital
oil supplies in the Western Hemi-

of blows from waters in the vicinity
Of Aruba, Dutch island of the coast
of Venezuela, the U-boats had to

"FOXHALL ROAD.


Dear sir:
Maybe you can tell me what Is the
matter with my bird feeding stations
have two, out In the yard, separated
as much as possible They are Allied with
the best seed, including nice fat sun
flower seed. ....
"Yet at times I have no birds at all
Whereas several weeks ago had scores
OF songbirds, including cardinals and
jays, today as look out my window
there is not bird In sight.
"Is it something that am failing to
do? Or do need new foods? Do they
grow tired of the same old things day
after day7 This last has appealed to
me as q possible explanation. since the
falling OF in attendance has been more
or less gradual. Maybe birds are just
like we are. they want something new
all the time.
II would appreciate any possible sug-
gestions from you, and know you have
had wide experience in these matters,
and that you are not afraid to answer
the apparently silly question, as I am
afraid this one Is. send 1t to you
nevertheless, in the hope that you can
help me get back my birds.
Sincerely yours, E. L. S."
Birds are not automatic.
They are creatures Of free will, within
their limitations.
They have as much right as any other
living creature to come or not to come
where food is put out, just as 1t pleases
them.
Sometimes We believe this plain fact
Is overlooked.
The songsters which please US with
their pretty songs and feathers and
habits are living their own lives In
their own way.
They are under no sort Of regimenta-
ton.
No one can holler "complacency" at
them and expect them to roll over and
look Inundated.
The birds Just wouldn't know what
you were talking about!
- +
No, our wild birds are pretty much
their own masters.
Even after they have come to winter
garden for long time, they have q
right not to come whenever 1t 50 suits
them.
1t is only natural for them, now and
then, not to want to come, for some
strictly birdy reason.
One Of these undoubtedly Is wanderlust.
They like to hy, nothing better. In
doing so, they must have an urge. now
and then. to fly over to Baltimore, or
out in the deep forest. or maybe out
to Hagerstown, where the almanac Is
made.
Surely, no owner of q feeding station
(or an automobile) would begrudge them.
-
Another reason birds sometimes seem
to desert the well-stocked larder Is the
spread of bird feeding activities.

Desires All Cadets
To Share in Competitive.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
think 1t should be brought to the
attention Of the public that DR.. Frank
w. Ballou. superintendent Of schools.
has proposed bill that would permit
only one company of cadets from each
school to participate in the competitive
at Grifiith Stadium every year.
This would not only have bad effect
on the morale of the cadets, to whom
the competitive is the high point OF
the cadet year, but also would disappoint
thousands Of parents who look forward
to seeing their boys march in the COM
petitive.
In these times, when every one Is
interested in national defense. the Cadet
Corps provides valuable military train
ing and an interesting sample OF the
training given our soldiers.
Although you no doubt receive many
letters on more pertinent subjects,
hope you will publish this, As 1t is of
vital interest to the $4,000 cadets en-
rolled in the Washington High Schools
and their parents.

Lithuania today is not free but en-

Watts 'Hope'

modernism Lnere SLlll must De
many persons who. caring for un-
violated.beauty. remember with graf
itude the representation of Hope"
by George Frederic Watts in the Tate
Gallery in London. It has been
a popular subject deservedly. The
artist claimed a world audience for
1t when he declared: II want to
make people think. My intention
has not been so much to paint pic
lures that will charm the eye as to
suggest great thoughts that will ap-
peal to the imagination and the
heart and kindle all that is best and
noblest in humanity"
1t Is close to thirty-eight years
since Mr.. Watts died. but his words
have a vaster meaning now than
ever they did during the relatively
quiet times in which he lived and
labored. So. too. his masterpiece Is
possessed Of more compelling conno-
tations In the present cataclysmic
period Of human experience. Hope"
Gilbert Chesterton explains, is
something for which there is
neither speech nor language" A yis-
itor to the exhibition hall in which
1t hangs. the same gifted interpreter
continues. finds himself before "a
dim canvas" predominantly dark
and misty blue and green in its
colors. A bowed. stricken and
blinded figure. seated on the sphere
with her broken Tyre. is bending her
ear to catch what music she may
from the last remaining string"
Obviously. "she cannot see the star
shining above her. One by one the
sweet notes OF music have been taken
from her. but still she sits. bowed
but not broken, plucking with tender
fingers whatever melody she may
from the last string"
The symbolism Of the work
prompts Mr.. Chesterton to argue:
There is something in man which
is always apparently on the eve of
disappearing, but never disappears,
an assurance which is always appar-
emily saying farewell and yet illim-
itably fingers, a string which Is
always stretched to swapping and yet
never snaps" The spectator sud-
denly knows q great moral fact:
that there never was an age OF as
surance. there never was an age Of
faith. Faith is always at a disad-
vantage; it is perpetually defeated
thing which survives all its con-
querors. The desperate modern talk
about dark days and reeling altars,
and the end Of Gods and angels, is
the oldest talk in the world"
Meanwhile, Hope" as Mr.. Watts
depicted her "is the thing that never
deserts men and yet always
threatens to desert them. Call
1t faith, call it vitality. call 1t the
will to live. call it the religion Of
tomorrow morning, call it the i'm

and vanity; it is the thing that ex-
plains why man survives all things
and why there is no such thing as
a pessimist. 1t cannot be found in
any dictionary or rewarded in any
commonwealth: there is only one
way In which 1t can even be noticed
and recognized. If there be any
where a man who has really lost It,
his face out Of a whole crowd Of
men will strike us like blow"
Both the artist and the author
are in their graves, but, by the provi-
dence of the undefeated Ruler of
the Universe. the one painted and
the other wrote for those who, in the
midst Of battle. are undiscouraged
in 1912.

Agrees With Criticism
OF Deferment Policies.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The Star is to be commended for its
recent fortnight and virile editorials on
matters affecting the American people
at war.
Notable is the editorial anent Draft
Gear Hershey and deferment for the
movie industry.
As The Star editorial puts it, Gen.
Hershey is opening the door to indis-
criminate deferment with determination
of indispensability resting on improper
shoulders. You may be sure there Is
nothing in that picture calculated to
boost morale. And hope the rank and
file of the movie industry will resent
the loss Of opportunity to serve the
country In other than civilian capacities.
