The Professor Learned That One Cannot Be an Ornithol- ogist and a Sweetheart, Too. BY MICHAEL SAUNDERS. HEN Robert Manning caught sight of Cynthia in the garden, he grinned irrepressibly. She was prcbably wait- ing for Frederick ‘Thompson. _ Prof. Frederick Thomp- son! Since last week, when Rob- ert had quarreled with Cynthia, she had become very. very much inter- ested in the pro- fessor. Undoubt- edly she had been overwhelmed by Thompson’s collec- tion of B. S, M. S. and Ph. D., Robert snickered to him- self. At any rate, ‘Thompson certain- ly had not im- pressed her with his _collection of stuffed birds. The professor was a scientist o(‘ birds—an ornithologist. He was sim- ply wild about the “dear feathered folk.” But Robert was sure that Cynthia did not care a whoop about | them. What she wanted was a man— a real representative of the stronger | sex. Some one who could love her— somebody like Robert Manning. | Robert solemnly erased the smile | from his face, adjusted his tie, and| walked out into the garden. | “Waiting for some one?” he asked | casually. “You know very well for whom I'm waiting,” Cynthia said coldly. “And in case you don't know it three is a crowd.” | Robert gazed about in mock sprt-}v ousness. “Where's the third person?” he asked innocently. | “For your information, I expect Fred any minute now.” “Fred? Oh, has it come to that? Has Prof. Frederick Thompson given you the right to be so familiar with his_name?” | She drew herself up haughtily, her cheeks flushing. “It's none of your business, Mr. Manning, jr. but, for your edification, Fred proposed to me | last night.” “And, of course, you accepted him— degrees, birds and all.” “He is coming for my answer to- day. And, my dear fairy godfather, | it is going to be yes!™ “I don't think he will come at all| today,” Robert said unperturbed. “As| a matter of fact. I think he has thrown you over for somebody else.” She sniffed disdainfully. “Yes, my dear,” he went on. “he has turned you down for Trochilus colubris.” | “And who, may I ask, is this so- | and-so? “What, my dear!” he exclaimed in mock surprise. “You don't know Trochilus colubris? What colossal ignorance! She is the one the prof has been searching for all his life. When he heard she was residing | temporarily in this neighborhood, | what do you think he went and did? He startted out today in the firm re- | golve to hunt her down—she who had{ eluded him for so many years.” i “Hunt her down?” asked Cynthia, | puzzled. “Yes, mingbird, Robert smiled The ruby-throated hum- alias Trochilus colubris. The professor has gone in search of a | little boy who refused to tolerate a, bird, leaving you here so tempting.” “I don't believe 1w “Time will tell, my dear.” And so they waited. The sun began to slant its rays into their faces before Cyn- thia, her lips quiv- ering, started for the gate. “Whither goest thou, my little bird?” he queried. “Bob Manning, 4 if you say another word, I'll scream!” she shouted, almost in tears. He gathered her into his arms and kissed her, She struggled to free herself —at first. But after the third kiss, she gave up with a sigh. She did love him, even though he was a fool, a boor, & nitwit, a nincompoop, and the man she hated. Robert did not mind the names, because she kissed him after each one. In fact, he was waiting for the fourth “I hate you!” when they were interrupted. It was Cynthia who saw the professor over Robert’s shoulder. She uttered an embarrassed “Oh!” But Prof. Frederick Thompson was staring at them with unseeing eyes. He was the picture of dejection and SOrTow. “I couldn't find a one” nounced mournfully. “Too bad,” Robert said calmly. “But there's still a chance of finding one if you start out now. As I have heard down at her. he an- it. the ruby-throated hummingbird is | seen at dusk.” “Do you really think so?” the pro- fessor asked eagerly. “I'm sure of it. But you had better start out now. The sun is already setting.” “Yes, yes, of course,” Thompson said hastily. He tipped his hat po- litely, and hurriedly left. Cynthia's gaze followed the pro- fessor. “The dried-up fossil!” she said angrily. “He didn't even notice e” Robert smiled down at her. “Now, now, my dear, don't ‘be too harsh on the poor fellow. After all, he is an ornith—an ornith—well, birds} are his passion. And when I told him this morning that there was a rare bird in the vicinity, he naturally for- got all about you and—" “You told him!” Cynthia claimed. Robert nodded his head in exag- erated sheepishness. Cynthia lowered her eyelashes. “And isn’t there ome about?” she asked | demurely. “How should I know?” he de- manded, gloating. “But it produced ! excellent results, didn't it?” “I couldn’t live with a man like | that,” Cynthia agreed. “He'd be go- ing out nights after owls, or— or bats or something. Kiss me,” she ordered. And Robert did. (Copyright. 1935.) Tomorrow: Howe Bruess, “Aunt Jo,” by Floria tells of a bewildered stepmother in the house, Armed Truce in Europe (Continued Prom First Page.) no reality. The British foreign sec- | retary would like to persuade the Ger- ' man chancellor to subscribe to East- | ern and Danubian Locarnos as well | as the air Locarno in the West, to| consent to return to the League of | Nations and to reopen the question | of limitation of armaments. In re-| turn he can offer British support for | the German demand for parity of armaments. i The German chancellor, on the other hand, is resolved not to sub- scribe to an Eastern Locarno, which would tie Germany’s hands in the Baltic states and is unfavorably viewed by Germany's single friend among the nations, namely, Poland. In addition it would amount to a re- nunciation of the dearest of Hitler's dreams which is expansion for the Reich in the Russian Ukraine. Nor is he less ready to make a similar renunciation of his project for Austro-German union. As to return- ing to Geneva, since, aside from Po- land, Germany would be isolated at the League, that has no attractions. Germany has announced her il- legal but immutable army program; she is organizing her effectives and acquiring her materiel as fast as her limited financial resources will per- mit. In all probability her general staff would not consider her ready for war before 1938 or even 1940. But neither will any branch of the Ger- | man government consent to submit again to foreign control. The arma- ment restrictions of the treaty of Versailles are as dead as the repara- tions requirements. Reich Plans no Attack. Germany has not the slightest purpose to attack Britgin now or at any future time. She would like to lift the mortgage British power must have over her other purposes, there- fore, by abolishing British fear of German armaments. The whole strategy of the Reichsfuehrer, there- fore, must be to make every possible concession to English apprehension where that concerns domestic se- curity, and then count upon British public opinion to force the govern- ment to treat the German proposals seriously. In employing this strategy Hitler is manifestly playing for a change in British political control. He be- lieves Labor and the Liberals are coming back into power and together will again, as in 1929, throw over the Anglo-French Entente and undertake to play the old balance of power game between Berlin and Paris. He believes, also, that a great section of British public opinion, while ac- cepting the necessity of Anglo-French association, renounce any association with the Soviet Union and demand that France shall separate herself #rom Eastern responsibilities in return Bor British guarantees. All Hitler’s strategy, therefore, must be summed up in an effort to divide ‘Western Europe from Eastern, to persuade or beguile both the British and the PFrench into accepting his assurances for their own security at their respective frontiers and wash- ing their hands of all responsibility for what happens on the Baltic, the Danube or the Dnieper. Since the French, however, are resolved to keep their association with the Soviets, as well as their entente with the British, they will watch the Berlin conversa- tions with undisguised w‘m and i they either before or during see any prospect of agreement on ex- | THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO MISS FARRINGTON Y.W.C.

GRAND JURY REPORTS ON TEN INDICTMENTS Three Charged With Murder in Montgomery—Trials Begin Thursday. Special Dispatch to The Star. | ROCKVILLE, Md. March 23—In ! its first report to the court since it | convened here Monday, the March grand jury for Montgomery County | yesterday returned 10 indictments. | One of the true bills charges three young colored men with the murder of another colored man, two charge forg- | ery, two larceny, two assault with a deadly weapon, one housebreaking and to kill. All of the cases have been docketed for trial at the term of Criminal street | | come from Folk dancing has been included as| larceny and one assault with intent ! terms unsatisfactory to themselves, | will take appropriate action. In such a situation a Talleyrand | or a Metternich would be hard put | to it to bring off anything worth while, and poor Sir John Simon is | Court which begins next Thursday. When arraigned before Judge Ham- mond Urner yesterday, Lee Wetzel and Caleb Hodge, the latter colored, en- tered pleas of guilty to charges of neither the one nor the other. On the contrary, he is an exceedingly ambitious and highly distrusted pub- lic official who is generally regarded as the weakest foreign secretary th British have had during the presen century, at least. Very successful as a barrister, he brought to the foreign of- fice the technique of the bar and has acted rather as if he had been “breifed” for various actions than ‘were he the advocate of any principles responding to his own convictions. During the days in Geneva when the League was wrestling with the Manchurian case it used to be said that from time to time Sir John forgot which side was his client and inad- vertently served the Japanese more usefully than any of their own ad- vocates. But it is the British foreign secretary’s personal ambition which may well play a big part in the Berlin conversations. Probably the most unpopular member of the un- popular national government, always excepting Prime Minister MacDonald himself, Sir John is in desperate need of a personal triumph and may be tempted to accept a German proposal, artfully designed to meet all the in- dividual British desires.. In sum, the real question about the Berlin conversations is whether they will result in a German victory, dis- closed in the production of a new feel- ing of distrust between Paris and London, or whether Sir John will stand fast to the general program agreed upon by MacDonald and Flandin in London. What an American audience has to recognize once for all, in the presence of the complicated maneuvers of Euro- pean diplomacy which are now in progress, is the fact that like such fiascos as the Disarmament Confer- ence, they are only of importance as they disclose the realities of the Euro- pean situation. They cannot have any positive result because before results could be achieved there would have to be a modification of the national pol- icies of the countries, whose states- men used to go to conferences and now indulge in conversations. Before they go to conversations—and the same used to be true when conferences were the chic international wear—na- tional statesmen are instructed what not to do and the results of the meet- ings are thus foreshadowed. League Dead as Mutton. As far as the present European sit- uation is concerned, the League of Nations is as dead as mutton. It has been thrust aside because the very assumptions upon which it was estab- lished have been proved unsound. No nation will engage the lives of its citi- zens or their prosperity to defend the security of another country save where its own interests are directly engaged. France will not seek to check Japa- nese aggression in Manchuria. Britain will not undertake to halt Germany in the Ukraine. But France will de- fend the independence of Austria at the Danube and Britain assures the security of Prance at the Rhine be- cause at these points these nations see their own interests at stake. In place of the League the French are trying to construct a system of alliances including all the countries large and small which threatened by German purposes. 1 i,!c the Ger- larceny and housebreaking and lar- ceny, respectively, and Elvin Jackson, colored, pleaded not guilty to an in- with intent to kill. Tariff Talk Held Vital to Parley | (Continued From First Page.) | to the harmful effects which were | bound to result from their enactment. ‘They warned that declining imports | would be followed by declining exports. | because the curtailed buying power of the nations affected by the tariff would force them to cut down their purchases of manufactured products in the United States. They emphasized that high tariffs brought considerable ill will and re- taliations which might prove very serious in the course of years. They even stressed a third danger; the flight of American factories to foreign lands in order to get over the tariff walls which those countries were certain to adopt as a counter move, and the re- sultant employment of foreign workers. All these arguments and the more resounding ones in behalf of interna- tional friendship and co-operation, | subtley voiced by the diplomatic rep resentatives of the Latin American na- tions which were to be the most affect- ed, were disregarded by the gentlemen at the Capitol. And the Hawley-Smoot tariff went into effect. The results, we all know. Inter- American trade is at its lowest. Some of the southern governments are earn- estly advocating the “Buy From Those Who Buy From Us” slogan. The United State is beginning to realize that a new trade deal is necessary. After listening to the repeated state- ments of President Roosevelt, Secre- tary of State Hull, Secretary of Com- merce Roper, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and other high administration officials in favor of a revival of inter- national trade, and after the frank and encouraging pronouncements they heard at Montevideo from the lips of Secretary Hull, the Latin Americans are expecting a radical departure from the commercial and especially from the tariff policies of the United States in the past few decades. Such expectations would naturally suffer a severe setback if the discus- sion of customs duties were barred from the forthcoming Pan-American Commercial Conference. (Copyright. 1935.) mans, naturally they are striving to prevent this new encirclement by di- viding the prospective allles. With characteristic lack of logic the British are trying to maintain an entente with time keep out of any responsibilities on the Danube or the Dnieper. Despite all the alarms and excur- sions of the present hour, the immedi- ate danger of war in Europe is slight in the extreme.
