Anniversary

twenty-five years ago today the
United States entered the first World
War. 1t was the expressed purpose
of the American people at that time
to preserve and to maintain the
democratic way of life for themselves
and for their friendly neighbors.
Under the leadership of President
Woodrow Wilson, they labored and
fought until the enemy, beaten in
the field, applied for an armistice
on November II, 1918, No fewer than
50,51O soldiers paid for the achieve
ment "the last full measure of devo-
ton" They died that others might
be free. And their sacrifice was not
In vain. 1t proved the spiritual ideal
ism of nation pledged to the sacred
integrity OF the individual in the face
OF aggression.
Now the United States once more
Is engaged in the ancient struggle
for liberty and peace. Day by day
since December 7 last there has
grown in the hearts of millions of
Americans the instinct of a great
cr"""de. The unfinished work Of a

Urges General Display of Flag
As Stimulus to Public Morale.

To the Editor OF The Star:
There is something that should be done
to stimulate the morale of visitors to
Washington and quicken the spirit of the
teeming thousands who are working here
long hours to help win the war. And if
it is done the idea will spread like magic
over the whole country.
More than parades of soldiers or bands
OF music, Washington needs to fly an
adequate number of national flags At
present the show of bunting is woefully
deficient. Sunday visitors have to. look
for the flag to find it, and are likely to
be disappointed if they look where it
would seem most reasonable for it to be.
The State Department Building, for
example, displays no flag on Sundays.
And so with the magnificent white
marble palaces devoted to national and
international organizations of the
highest character nearby. On Sundays,
when the greatest number of visitors
come to Washington, these buildings
stand without the noble colors which
are so full of meaning to the mind and
heart of every American. On week.
days there are more flags flown from
private buildings than there were before
we entered the war, but, judging from

THIS AND THAT
By Charles +. Trncet1eH.

Here was something he could eat, in
the drifts of snow, and yet he would not
eat 1t.
Maybe he wasn't sufficiently hungry
yet.
We saw him next morning, with the
sun on him. a splendid sight, as he
Topped his wings and tail while perched
on branch of a tree.
He was going through all the motions
Of taking bath-a bath in air, as far
as we could see.
1t may be that he had taken a snow
bath before we saw him, and was nos
drying himself In approved bird fashion
A mockingbird, looking very largo,
came and ate some crumbs.
There was just one squirrel present
during the day. The other 10 were
somewhere in the trees, refusing to come
down until the snow had stopped falling.
There was q woodpecker at the suet
on the fence. He was a red-bellied
woodpecker, and ate away while swinging
to the suet cage.
In the meantime. what a sight the
shrubs and evergreens presented!
The all-day rain OF the day before
had softened their branches, so that
when the heavy snow struck them, they
bent over at once, and were held down
by the heavy fall.
No doubt the presence Of the first
start OF spring sap had taken some of
the starch out Of them, too.
At any rate, there they lay, with little
chance OF any one doing anything about
1t until the thaw came naturally.
1t was a sad sight, so many shrubs
down in such summary fashion, and so
many great branches OF trees down, too
At first the birds seemed bewildeYed
at the lack Of branches.
Soon, however, they got their bearings,
and took to perching on snow as If
they had always done 1t.
A songbird Is a wonderful thing in
many ways, but In none more than its
ability to perch even on soft snow with
out making dent in it.
They came TO the feeding station in
the rhododendrons by the window, upon
which they perched before they hoped
into the feeder.
There was not fake OF snow moved
by the small claws.
Only the robin seemed to have any
difficulty. He was dumbfounded by what
he found. Down South, he probably
was thinking, We never had anything
like this!
He wasn't used to getting his food on
the ground. His food, he seemed to be
saying. comes from beneath the ground.
How could fellow pick things Of the
ground? 1t must come from below, TO be
real food worthy OF q robin, SIR.
Evening star., 1942-04-06
Are robins dumb?

Are robins dumb?
This is the question many householders
are asking, following the recent deep
snow.
They put out food, and in many cases
the right food, for the sustenance OF the
robins in the snow, but the big birds
mostly refused to eat.
We will never forget one fine fellow in
the storm.
He was having difficulty with his navi-
cation, sinking in up to his rusty breast,
but managed to come to the bird feeding
station.
Scores of birds were there, eating seed
and grin.
Not a grain or a seed would the robin
touch, which was no wonder, since nor
mally they are not eaters Of such things.
The sad part of it came, however.
when the bird refused to touch special
foods which had been put out for him
nearby.
He even turned up his bill at them!
Ground beef, bread and milk, and rails
ins, approved robin foods during snow
storms, were there in plenty.
He refused them all.
At. the same time. he seemed to be
looking around for something more.
Cake we did not have, so could not put
out any for him.
Yes, robins are very fond of cake
Once he few down TO the pile Of meat.
He looked at 1t, then few out, and sat
all huddled up on branch of a lilac
which had been bent double to the
ground.
Shortly he flew directly over the robin
food" but kept on his way.
Several times during the storm we saw
him, looking very hungry and miserable.
Once he went over to the food again,
but this time some starlings there drove
him. away.
At another time he went to the feed
ing station by the garage, where many
birds were eating. He seemed to peck at
the seeds and grains.
The last we saw of him that day was
in strip of grass still protruding by the
east side Of the garage. Here the over
hang had protected the ground from the
snow.
Probably the bird was seeking its
favorite food there We hope he found it,
The householder should not weary Of
doing good in the snow.
Probably all robins are not so obdurate
as this.
II little bread and milk, or bread
soaked in water or fat, with some ground
beef, II available, and raisins. are put out
for the robins, these birds will be helped
AS our own specimen acted, he must be
accused Of being dumb.

Welcome Visitor

No one could be a more welcome
visitor to Washington than Ezequiel
Padilla, Mexico's Foreign Minister
and one Of our best Good Neigh
bors," who is here on an official visit
to this country. The formal enter
tainment extended him by officials
OF this Government during his stay
is only token of the deep apprecia-
tion shared by the peoples Of all the
Americas for his invaluable services
in the cause of inter american soli-
darity.
Generally recognized as one of the
greatest orators in the Spanish Ian
guage and as one Of the most effec-
tive exponents of practical co-opera-
tion among the Americas for the
good Of all, DR.. Padilla virtually
"stole the show" at the January con-
ference OF American Foreign Minis
ters in Rio de Janeiro by his rea-
soned, yet impassioned appeals for
hemisphere unity. He was one of
the leaders in achieving a unanimous
agreement recommending the sever
ance of diplomatic relations with the
Axis. He amply demonstrated dur
ing that conference that he has both
the vision to see the desperate need
for unified action to preserve free
dom in the Western Hemisphere, and
the genius for giving expression to
that vision in moving words.
While DR.. Padilla has not entered
into detailed public discussion of the
purposes of his mission here, he has
made it clear that he hopes to find
a solution for outstanding problems
in the way of the most effective CO.
operation between Mexico and the
United States in their joint war and
defense effort. Certainly no stone
should be left unturned in efforts to
intensity such cooperation. This
country needs in its war program the
benefits of increased production Of
strategic materials in Mexico, and
Mexico needs our economic assist
ance in developing such production
to the fullest. In this and other
fields, agreements may be reached
as a result Of DR.. Padilla's visit here
that will carry forward to a new peak
Of practical achievement the ideal Of
collaboration between Good Neigh
Dor" nations.
