The Golden Text is: watch

you like men, be strong" q Cor
inthianS 1919.
Among the citations which
comprise the LeSson-Sermon is
the following from the Bible:
Put on the whole armour of
God, that We may be able to
stand against the Wiles of the
devil. Praying always with all
prayer and duplication in the
Spirit, and watching thereunto
with all perseverance and sup
pliaction for all saints" (EphaS-

The LeSson-Sermon also in
cludes the following passage

mankind of the foe in ambush?
Is the former one who sees the

By Charles E. Truce1DelI.

dawn his individual laughter, to which
human beings seem to experience vary
ing reactions.
I'VE like it.
"We have never seen him at our bird
shelf. Has any one seen him at one?
With best wishes, I am,
Sincerely yours, S. s. T."
1t Is not every one who has chance
to have an owl for neighbor.
OF all the birds, none is more talked Of
than the owl, and none so seldom seen.
Owls have occupied place in writing
all their own. Since ancient days, they
have been the veritable symbols of
wisdom
Fraternal bodies have adopted them as
pins"
The wise old owl" figures in legend
and popular song.
1t seems as if popular song writer's
turn instinctively to the theme of the
wise old OWL" with his chorus of who,
who, whoo?"
The owl, with his "ears," general shape
of head, and large, round, unblinking
eyes, seems very human in appearance.
His cry is heard generally at night,
and, as our correspondent says, pleases
some listeners, dispirits others.
1t is not strange that this bird of mys-
terry, with his unusual habits and odd
cry, should be looked upon by some as a
bird of Ill omen.
Yet looked at fairly, and listened to
properly, he is quite a bird" with in
teresting habits and a real bird per-
sonality.
An owl seems to demand name.
He is often driven into suburban yards
for shelter.
There he always is attacked at first by
the other birds, who inStinctively know
what a menace he is to their young.
Yet the screech owl-the usual one-is
not such william, when it comes to de-
stroying bird life.
He much prefers mice moles and va
rious Of the larger insects.
It Is only in the nesting season, when
he is hard pressed to find food for the
gaping mouths Of his young, that he
seeks out the fedglings in their nests.
Country estates, and next large sub
urban places, are most likely to have
owls, although they often are heard in
the night in suburban districts, and now
and then will be driven into suburban
yards
In little known but delightful novel,
"The Garden of Commuters Wife" by
Elizabeth" there is picture of fam
lily of owls seated on a stubby branch.
They all inched along the branch, until
the one on the end was pushed off. He
flew around and perched next to the
trunk, and SO the game continued, all
of them inching along the branch, push
ing of first one bird and then the next.
The novel is one which may be enjoyed
best by woman readers, perhaps, but the
| picture of the owl game is one which all
! bird lovers may relish.

Federal Secrets Bill

Pending before the Senate Judi
ciary Committee is a bill which
deserves the "close scrutiny which
Chairman Van Nuys has promised it
will receive. This is the so-called
"Government secrets" bill, proposed
by Attorney General Biddle as a
means of preventing divulgence Of
confidential Federal documents. 1t
would make it criminal offenSe for
any one "willfully and knowingly" to
furnish, communicate, divulge or
publish to any person, in whole or in
part, copies or the contents, sub
stance, purport, effect or meaning of
any file, instrument, letter, memo
randum, book, pamphlet, paper, doc
ument, manuscript, map, picture,
plan, record or other writing" which
has been declared by law or by de-
partmental ruling to be secret.
Department of Justice officials eX-
plain that it was their sole intention,
in asking for this legislation, to cor
rect a statutory deficiency which at
present precludes prosecution ,of a
Federal employe or any other person
who deliberately copies or divulgeS
documents which he knows to be
confidential. While existing law for
bids theft or destruction of such doc
uments, they point out, it is not
unlawful for Government employe,
for example, to copy and give out to
unauthorized persons private records
of the Civil Service Commission "a
recent case revealed the inadequacy
of the law in this respect), or for a
file clerk in the Department of JUS
tice to do the same with secret inves-
tigation reports or criminal files, or
for a stenographer to disclose vital
data in a Federal prosecution. Un-
doubtedly, employees so unworthy OF
trust as to engage in such dangerous
practices should be subject not only
to dismissal but to criminal prosecu-
tion.
But the difficulty in meeting this
problem lies in endeavoring to draw
up a statute which has enough teeth
to deal with such unusual cases as
those cited and, at the same time, Is

"WARRENTON, Va.

Dear Sir:
Every now and then we read some
thing about owls in This and That
Having one as neighbor, we thought
possibly he might be of interest.
"We first saw Oliver Owl one late sum-
mer evening. He was in the hollow of
an old aspen tree in the corner of our
yard.
1--WE were at supper, and the sun, going
down, sent cleaning lights on the green
leaves wet from an afternoon rain; there
had been wind, lightning and thunder
with that rain, and imagine Oliver had
sought protection in the hollow.
X 4 4
"Our attention was attracted by din
raised by the birds. A bird watcher just
has to investigate disturbance of that
nature.
81 went out to see.
There sat Oliver, surrounded. Irate
cardinals, blue jays, starlings, an oriole,
robins, a catbird and, of course, the
naturally unpleasant grackles.
They seemed to take turns diving at
him, some braver than others. At each
dive, he would duck down into the hol-
low; then up would come his head again.
II have always regretted walking
nearer the tree, as my approach seemed
to divert his attention, and a grackle
hit him glancing blow.
"At that he was off like a shot from q
gun-the others after him.
However, when they disappeared into
the tall trees across the street, he was
still in the lead.
1T was fall before we saw Oliver again.
"November's cold north wind had sent
him back to the aspen. Strange to say,
the birds who were still with us didn't
seem to mind him then-that is, didn't
mind him too much.
Il suppose the young had grown.
X y
"Oliver has been our neighbor to
watch and enjoy for three years. AS
spring comes on, he leaves. This fall we
eagerly watched for his return. He was
late, and it was not until Just before
Christmas that we realized he had come
back to town.
I'VE suppose the open fall was respon-
sible for his late return. Oliver is we'll
known on the street on which he lives
His drol face and funny ears appeal
particularly to children
"One small girl exclaimed, on seeing
him for the first time, He looks just like
little red fox And that little girl
knows her foxes.
His hollow in the aspen is about Is
feet up from the ground. He doesn't
seem in the least afraid of those who
watch him. On sunny days he sits quite
poised above his audience. Rain, wind
and fog send him into retreat, but by
evening he inches more into the open,
and after turning his head almost all the
way around in his search for good hunt
ing, he's off on his swift flight.
Before long we shall hear just before

japanese Roundup

In the light OF recent disclosures
regarding the existence Of a poten-
tial japanese fifth column on the
West Coast, President Roosevelt has
acted prudently in empowering the
Army to order any and all persons
from areas which it may see fit to
designate as military zones. The
presidential order will strengthen
greatly the hand of our counter
espionage forces, who heretofore
have been handicapped in dealing
with suspected spies and SaboteurS
hiding behind the cloak of American
citizenship. The Federal Bureau of
Investigation, with the aid of Army
and Navy intelligence officers and
local authorities, has succeeded in
rounding up hundreds of Axis aliens
in coastal and other vital areas, but
it has been worried by the fact that
some $1,000 American-born japanese
in California and thousands more in
Washington and Oregon enjoy all the
traditional rights of American citi-
zenship, yet many of them are known
to put loyalty to Japan above loyalty
to the United States. Under the
executive order it becomes possible
to move American citizens as well as
aliens from any danger spot.
The necessities of war require dras-
tic and seemingly harsh measures
that would be unthinkable in time of
peace. Pearl Harbor showed the
peril of being too solicitous of the
privileges of nationals of countries
which are sworn enemies of the
democratic nations. The Roberts re-
port disclosed that warnings from
Washington against use of anti
sabotage measures that might
alarm" the populace, in addition to
disaster. A joint proposal by naval
intelligence and the F. B. I. that Jap
anese consuls suspected of espionage
be arrested as unregistered foreign
agents was turned down as being too
drastic, the report revealed Now
that we are at war, it Is high time
that the fifth column problem be
handled without kid gloves.
That the situation on the Pacific
Coast is alarming was made plain by
State Attorney General Earl Warren
of California in testimony before the
Tolan Migration Committee Satur-
day at San Francisco. He pointed
out that some West Coast aircraft
factories are entirely surrounded by
Japanese occupied land and that
there has been suspicious increase
recently in japanese farming &C
tivity' on arid tracts in strategic
locations. F. B. I. raids have uncov-
cred stores of dynamite, guns, Japa-
nese uniforms, radios, cameras, bin
oculars and other equipment.
The emergency warrants prompt
and decisive action. Perhaps some
injustices will be done-but japanese
who really are loyal to America will
understand the necessity for moving
citizens as well as aliens from re-
Stricted zones,
