hearted, when our country and
homes are at stake. Just re-
member Pearl Harbor and Ba-
taan, and the rapings and muir
ders of Hong Kong and Marking,
and let the Japs go chatter their
indignation into the ears of their
pagan gods.
There is just one thing which
could mar allied jubilation over
this great event. That would be
if Japan should use this as pre-
text for duplicating Russia and
making war on the Soviet at a
moment when Hitler is about to
fling his full force against the
Reds in eastern Europe. TokyO's
this great event. That would be
long hesitation in identifying the
attacking planes warranted
speculation on this point.
On the whole this is grand
day for Allied arms, because the
blow has been struck at a mo-
ment when it can do a vast
amount of good to morale IN the
United Nations and much dam
age to the Axis powers, 1t gives
further evidence that we are as
Stunning the initiative-a matter
of vital moment-and it demon
strates that we can get at the en-
envy despite his isolation and de-
lenses.
The effect in Europe is likely
TO be profound. For example,
it was only yesterday that a
French friend told me his people
had been much depressed by
Japanese vlCtorleS-a fact which
couldn't strengthen their Cour-
age to withstand Hltlcr'S de-
mands. This bombing may re-
verse that feeling.
Look where you will, and this
feat Will be working for the AL
lies. 1t is calculated to Stiffen
Turkeys back as Hitler tries to
bully that strategic nation into
allowing him passage into the
Middle East. 1t will bring hope
to countries like Yugoslavia
where the gallant people are
battling against determination
of their race. 1t will encourage
Greece, where the Axis forces
are imposing mass starvation in
order to feed their own bellies.
And so the good will spread.
There is just one thing more
which certainly must be men
toned in connection with this
demonstration of rapidly grow
ing strength. That Is the state
ment by Donald Nelson, chair
man OF the War Production
Board, that the United States has
passed the turning point in
war production and that the out
put of the United Nations now
exceeds that of the Axis.
What more could we ask for a
good week end?

THIS AND THAT
BY Charles Z. Trdce1peu,

Too white and slaring articles are not
liked by birds. Sometimes the failure OF
q bird bath to attract the songsters Is
due to the bowl being much too white.
In time, after algae have grown on 1t, the
birds will patronize it.
Dull reds, such as terra Gotta, are liked
by most OF the songsters.
White foods, II too white, are often
snubbed
Cottage cheese. for instance, when
placed in feeding station. will often
frighten the birds. They will not come
near at all. although hungry and cold.
We have tried this experiment several
times, always with the same results.
small mound of cottage cheese, placed in
thriving feeder well stocked with seeds
and grains, did not draw another bird
that day. But when the offending article
was removed, the songsters returned
Immediately.
There always should be few auxiliary
offerings for the birds, in addition to
the regular feeding stations or places.
One of the best of these is the coconut
shell, followed out, and strung through
with long wire. Wire is essential, be-
cause squirrels will bite through cord
or rope.
We would advise any one who wants
a coconut feeder to secure a coconut at
once, because the supply is none too
good at this time.
After the contents are removed the
opening is cut out SO that there Is a
sort of bottom and top, the latter making
canopy over the bottom.
This permits putting in quite good
amount of seed without it falling out.
Small birds can fly in bodily, and larger
ones can stand on the edge
Squirrels can poke in their heads. The
fun comes in placing the shell at the
end OF a wire at least 10 inches long,
and preferably we'll to one side Of any
supports. This puts the squirrels on
their mettle in getting at the food, The
various ways each squirrel solves this
problem are something to watch.
Another way of feeding birds is to
string peanuts on a cord and put it in
tree or shrub, so that the birds must
pull them of.
Another method is to hollow out q
section of branch one about two inches
in diameter, and fill it with melted suet
in which seeds and grains have been
poured Then the stick is hung In a
tree or shrub.
Suet in any form is acceptable. 1t
may be nailed to tree, in the hunk, or
ground up and placed with the seeds.
Some persons prefer to put it in wire
or wicker basket. It must be remem-
bered that wandering dogs often carry
suet away If they can get at it.
OF all the tables for the autumn and
winter birds. the best still remains the
good earth Food sprinkled on the ground
is found and eaten by most birds. And
| this sort of feeding station costs nothing.
Even a downtown sidewalk will do.

Count BerchtoId

Among the peoples Of the English
speaking nations Count Leopold
Berchtold, whose death at 79 has
been reported from Sopron in Hun
gary, long has been regarded as "the
man who started the First World
War" and thus indirectly was to
blame for the second. This verdict
on the Foreign Minister of the Aus
trian-Hungarian Empire from Feb
ruary II, 1912, to January 13, 1915,
probably is justified by consideration
not so much OF what he did but
rather OF what he did not DO. One
continental school of thought, repre-
sented by Prince Bernhard Won Bue-
low, finds him guilty of frivolous
incapacity"; another. including Pro-
fessor Alfred Francis Pribram of the
University of Vienna, blames him for
weakness and indecision." These
admittedly are negative sins" which
would be regarded as inconsequential
in a character of less lofty position.
In q diplomat, however, they were
faults altogether deplorable.
The fruitage of his failings is set
forth by Professor Harry Elmer
Barnes in History and Social In
telligence" as follows: I'm briefly
summarizing the Austrian action and
policy from June 2S to August /, 1t
Is necessary to keep clearly In mind
that though Berchtold, as Foreign
Secretary. was formally responsible
for the negotiations. he was but a
ngurehead. szilassy, Hammer and
Hotxendorf have made It most evi-
dent that he was generally
dominated By the war party
and By sympathetic OF docile subor-

"StreomIininq" Education

A plan for merging the senior year
OF high school with the freshman
year Of college has been proposed by
commission representing the Ma
tional Education Association as a
necessary wartime measure. The
purpose of the suggestion is one of
adjustment of academic arrange
ments in line with legislation pro-
viding for the drafting Of 18-year -old
boys. Some "streamlining" Of exist
ing schedules is imperative in the
interest of economy Of teaching,
more realistic curriculums and the
most effective use of curtailed oppor-
tunities for study and research. High
school courses must be abridged. col
lege requirements must be lowered.
These are the conclusions of a group
including university presidents and
deans, superintendents of public
schools. instructors. officials Of edu-
cational organizations and other
authorities.
To what extent the plan can be
made to work remains question. It
is stipulated by the commission that
1t is intended to apply only to the
period Of the prevailing national
emergency. That means that 1t is
recognized as an expedient to which
the association probably would not
be willing to lend its support under
normal conditions. Proposals to
speed up" education hitherto have
been looked upon with disfavor be-
cause undisturbed leisure generally
has been appreciated as q prerequi-
site Of cultural progress. The teach

ing profession opposes cutting cor
ners" unless compelling reason can
be shown for the trimming.
Such motive certainly is manifest
now. The ever-increasing demand
for human material in the current
struggle is for the most part a de-
mand for youth. II young people
are to be educated at all, 1t is obvious
that there must be practical conces-
sions to the circumstances in which
they find themselves. The civiliza-
ton for which America is fighting is
a civilization based on the democracy
OF learning. It must be preserved
IN that character, If it Is to be pre-
served at all. Yet to that very end
1t would seem necessary to eliminate
waste Of every sort from the aca-
demic system. If the association
plan is found faulty during the first
few months of its trial. it can be
altered or dispensed with entirely.

UneentIemonIy and Illegal

November was a field day for the
japanese radio in its attempt to
break all records in the height OF
something or other. On that date
a shocked Toxic protested to the
world that the landing OF American
forces In Africa was illegal. It also
regretted to state, more in sorrow
than in anger, that General Eisen-
hower's appeal to Frenchmen to join
up and resist the Axis was a most
ungentlemanly act.
These are some of the harsheSt
words yet from the land of legality
and gentility since its government
discovered that it was legal to invade
China and attack Pearl Harbor, with
no declaration of war, and gentle
manly to torture and murder cap
tives. Yet it is most kind Of the Jap
radio to call our attention to these
deficiencies, and at least give us q
chance to reform. Do we, perhaps,
owe 1t to the legal gentlemen in
Nippon to ask our own Supreme
Court If we were correct in invading
Africa, and to get out If the answer
Is mo-? Shall we put 1t up to Emily
Post whether General Eisenhower
was socially gauche in his appeal and
recall him If he was? Or shall we

bonds.
@. Which are the stronger compare
lively, large or small animals?-B. N.

dinate ofacials in the Foreign once.
- : Thoroughly at the mercy Of the
war party, and not reluctantly so,
Berchtold drew up q letter to the
Kaiser signed by the aged Austrian
Emperor, Franz Josef, stressing the
fact that unless vigorous action was
taken against Serbia there was little
hope that the Austrian Empire could
be kept intact. This was delivered
on July S."
OF course, neither Count Berchtold
nor any other person Of Importance
in Vienna desired a general Euro
pean war. They simply did not real
lie that their proposed punitive ex-
pedition against the Serbs would
involve Russia, Great Britain and
eventually the United States in a
universal conflict which would be
renewed after rs years. DIR. George
Peabody Gooch Of Cambridge In his
Recent Revelations on European
Diplomacy" discusses the ultimatum
to Serbia as "a gamblers throw"
which the Austrians believed would
"offer the best chance of escape from
a terrible danger which was certain
to increase and which challenged the
existence of Austria as a great
power"
Those who made that decision
were mistaken and they paid for
their error in terms of the destruc-
ton Of their country, but it would
be unfair to accuse them Of willfully
plotting global catastrophe. Count
Berchtold in 1919 epitomized his own
case in the words. IT do not know
why I have been held up as a sort
OF modern Machiavelli. I have a
perfectly clear conscience. It is i'm
possible to Ak responsibility for the
war on any particular person. It was
the result Of variety of circum-
stances and conditions into which
Europe had drifted."

Pensacola AdmiroIs'

AS time and the tides of battle
clarity some of our thoughts on the
role Of battleships, as we'll as air
power, the Pensacola Admirals"
also are coming into their own.
Pensacola Admiral" is term coined
IN derogation OF the older officers
who earned their wings at Pensacola
merely as an added accomplishment,
after service In other branches of the
Navy. Those fine youngsters, the
f1ghting pilots, scorning anything
they see from cockpit, were not al
ways willing to admit Pensacola
Admirals" as blood brothers in an
exclusive fraternity.
Admiral King is pensacola Ad-
miral' who won his wings at the ripe
old age of 40. Now he has passed his
sixty fourth birthday, commander in
chief OF the Navy, too valuable man
in too valuable spot to be retired
by the calendar. And perhaps the
title Of Pensacola Admiral" ex-
plains why he has become, and re-
mains indefinitely, the Nays top
man. For before he learned to fly, he
had learned most Of the other things
that navy must do to win a war.
He knows the business, from the use
OF submarines, destroyers, cruisers,
battleships and striking task forces
to logistics, tactics and strategy. He
has been through the mill. Would he
have been as we'll qualified for COM
mand had his experience been con-
fined to aircraft alone?
Another Pensacola Admiral" is
the Navy's hero of the day-Vice Ad-
miral William Frederick Halsey, jr.,
commanding the naval forces in the
South Pacific. He earned his wings
at Pensacola thirty years after grad
uating from the academy. Standing
in the mud at Guadalcanal the other
day, speaking warm words of praise
for the Marines, he soliloquized on
the part that battleships will play
before the war is over in gaining
naval supremacy. "The man who
controls the sea will be the man who
wins the war" he said. And he
added, as if for emphasis, And I'm
an airman."
These Pensacola Admirals" are
airmen. But they are also sailors.
And If our Navy is winning battles
with Pensacola Admirals" on the
bridge, 1t is winning battles because
as airmen the Pensacola Admirals"
understand the part that other Navy
arms must play.
The younger pilots, who have spent
most of their Navy lives in the air,
are being rapidly advanced to higher
rank-as they deserve to be. The
time may come in the Navy when no
man can hope to be an admiral who
cannot add Pensacola" to his rank.
For our admirals must know air
ships. But they must know other
ships as well.

Dear Sir
II thought you and your readers
might be interested in my recent expert
ments with doughnut tied to string
Is combined gymnasium and food for
the birds.
This was q cake doughnut. believe
the other sort is called . raised dough-
nut. This one used was regular old
fashioned doughnut, with q hole in the
middle, sure enough, and 1t was through
this that the string was tied.
Then I hung the affair on an old
stake which had been left in some shrubs
near the house. was needing your
admonishment, you see, that the birds
should be lured close to window where
an observer could see them easily.
well, the birds skirted that doughnut
for days. Not one would come near.
They would fly over 1t, and beyond it,
and almost drop down to touch 1t. but
never once did a single one of them
sample it.
Perhaps If we had mockingbird in
the neighborhood it would not have
languished there on the stake so long.
But one day big bird alighted. 1t was
blue jay.
He perched right on top Of the dough-
nut, and then jabbed his bill into 1t,
taking out neat bites each time. After
about ten tabs. he got enough, and few
away. There was quite q bit of bare
doughnut showing, where the crust had
been cleaned away.
This, I thought, would attract other
birds, but not one came, although they
continued to fly near at times.
The next day the jay came back and
hacked out another section. Still the
smaller birds did not come, and l had
about given them up, when two English
sparrows flew down, looked the hanging
doughnut overland then few away.
"A chickadee came, to my great de-
light, but he, too, would have nothing to
do with it. Maybe I bought the wrong
sort of doughnut.
VERY truly yours. NJ B."
A&+
Doughnuts are best fed by breaking
them up 1t is seldom that they will go
begging, especially If there is mocking-
bird around. The doughnut is one OF his
favorite foods, and is an almost sure
fire attractor of this species.
We believe the color Of the outer crust
is the factor which kept the birds from
sampling our correspondents offering.
That is why it is best to break them up,
80 the birds can see the tempting inner
and lighter areas.
Birds are very color-conscious. They
do not like either bird feeding stations or
bird houses which are painted red, for
instance.
We have seen some very attractive
houses painted bright Chinese red and
have never seen bird go near them.
1t must never be forgotten than In
nature color plays great part. Perhaps
birds which see red" in this way think
they are seeing another species, such as
the cardinal.
