"CHESAPEAKE STREET,

Dear Sir:
The tufted titmouse is such q fine
bird that wonder If there are any other
sorts Of titmice around here? I have at
tracted many birds to my feeding sta
tion, but so far have seen only the usual
titmouse hereabouts.
This is to me one of the most inter-
esting OF all birds. like the way it flies
into the station and then flies out with a
Sunflower seed. Occasionally the bird
remains on the tray, and, holding down
the seed with its toes, pecks it to pieces
Mostly it flies into shrub
1T seems to be scolding a lot, but I
guess that it is just the sort Of noise it
makes.
The crest probably is responsible for
the fact that they look rather peevish.
Il have kept a sharp lookout, but have
never seen any other kind of titmouse.
Very truly yours, c. v. S."
There is only one titmouse around
here, the tufted, but there are four
species in the country.
In addition to the tufted titmouse,
there is the black crested titmouse OF
the Southwest, and the bridled ttmouse,
which belongs to the same general re-
gion
In the mountains of the Pacific slope
there is fourth form, known as the
plain titmouse This one lacks the beau
tiful orange stomach of the tufted, and
the big black crest OF the crested tit
mouse.
In the South the tufted titmouse is
sometimes called the tomtit. This is a
carryover from England.
This bird Is the familiar one and Is
liked by all persons interested in birds
1t is year. -around bird in Washington
and vicinity There never will be enough
of them, however, so that not every gar
den will have one, by any means. 1t is
more generally seen in winter and spring
than any other time of year.
The black crested titmouse has a very
distinct black crest, which seems to push
forward over the head
1t is said to be fond OF pecans, which
it holds down with foot, while the shell
is broken by the bill
Like the tufted form, it eats all sorts
OF starchy seeds, such as that of the sun
flower
The bird has much the same sort Of
scolding cries as the form found around
here. This type Of cry does not mean
that the bird has churlish disposition
1t is just the cry which the good Lord
gave it. Man, alone, has been able to
run the gamut OF emotions The tit
mouse gives the same cry, whether it is
pleased or not.
The brindled titmouse is another
beauty, with strange black formation
circling the face 1t lives in the noun
tains Of New Mexico and Arizona.
The plain titmouse, so called. scarcely
would be taken for titmouse, if one
were to be seen hereabou 1t has a
slight crest, but this feather formation is
more on the order OF the brushed back

OF Danubian States and Peoples.
~ the Editor OF The Star:
The complexity of Central Europe
presents one of the problems which we
shall have to solve in order to achieve
satisfactory peace settlement It is
an area which constitutes the heart of
the German war effort and, therefore,
draws our attention even now.
The oath anniversary Of the collapse
of the Hapsburg empire offers an ap-
propriate opportunity for the examina-
ton Of the situation in the Danube
Basin, the place from which the First
World War spread to engulf the entire
globe and the region where Hitler fought
the preliminary battles OF this war.
What makes this area the powder keg
OF Europe? What solution are we to
offer to these people in order to intensity
their resistance to the Nazis? What
program will insure their maximum CO.
operation now, and what will prevent
another explosion later?
The major problem there is constituted
by the numerous nationalities living
intei mingled and still maintaining
even accentuating-their independent
cultures. Centuries Of oppression have
helped to instill fierce nationalistic feel
ings among these peoples. Now that
they have lost their Independence to

To the Editor Of The Star:
JunkeriSm or Prussianism. a combina-
ton of landlordism, militarism and in
duStrial control at their worst, is the
real power in Nazi Germany. It dates
back to the feudalism of the Middle Ages
that saddled Europe with an arrogant
aristocracy from whose proprietary privi-
leges are derived the monopoly breeding
systems of land tenure that have spread
to all parts of the earth.
More lebensraum, the main pretext on
which Germany started the destruction
now going on. means to the Junker caste
only more and bigger baronial estates,
more small farms to be turned into will
dernesses for the delectable sport OF
sticking wild pigs, more and bigger mines
and factories to be operated by labor
cowed to servility by forced disunity
The Axis new order" is mere camou-
flage for return to the old order of
the robber barons to put the earth in
control of an assortment of totalitarian
overlords.
There is no telling the ultimate cost
In dollars alone of the belated resistance
to this long planned assault on civiliza-
ton. With the end not in sight, billions
on billions, beyond the capacity of
Methuselah to count, already have been
spent. They quite eclipse the billions
added to the burden of production and
consumption by our New Deal benevo-
lences. including bonuses to absentee
landlords for production, and con-
version of host of actual and potential
cleaners of wealth into leaners on Gov
eminent bounty.
The bulk of this colossus of cost never
can be met. So, after victory, it would
be immeasurably better for the living
and coming generations to wipe the slate
clean for new start. But even with
that. devotees OF the Henry George
economic philosophy that had its origin
with the physiocrats of pre-revoluntion-
ary France, might well ask the world,
what price landlordism?"
