Paris, Feb. 24—Bird life along the battle ‘front appears to have been little disturbed ' by the continual thundering of the guns. Birds dis- appeared from the war zone after the Battie of the Marne, and some natur- alists attributed their migration to the din of war. They came back again, however, and little by little accustom- ed themselves to the noise of explo- sives and even find an advantage in being close to the conflict where their is ample nourishment around the sol- diers’ quarters. Doves and wild pig- eons are the most abundant, while there are many cuckoos, thrushes, crows, magpies and jays. Starlings arc very common, nesting in trees as close as they find them in trenches. Mon- sieur Louis Rousseau, a well known ornithologist, has discovered that the war has changed the character of these birds and made them thrifty. He has found their nests in the holes of dead oaks, With a provision of bread- cerumbs stored away prudently under- neath. Doves fly about between the two lines, paying no attention to the bursting shrapnel; and one of them appear to be afraid on either aerc- planes, observation balloons, or dir- rigibles. Balloons Make Buzzards Inquisitive, H Buzzards are everywhere along the front, and they seem to find parti cular amusement in circling around the observation balloons. Monsieur Rosseau finds game very abundant in the section of the front where he is, due partly to the sup- pression of shooting since the war ! began, but mostly, he thinks, to the invasion which drove game ahead of it toward the Marne Deer and sta: are very numerous in spirte of a great deal of poaching on the part of the peasants. On the other hand, rabits are very rare. Wild boa are seen in places they were never known to frequent; a litter of wolves was found in a ditch beside the road near which territorials were digging a trench, and [ two others were found in aban- doned trench 1,500 yards o from any stream. Polecats, martins, and | weasels have almost entirely disap- peared their places taken by rats and mice. an BREAKS A COLD ~IN A FEW HOURS stops nasty discharge or nose running, relieves sick headache, dullness, fev- erishness, sore throat, sneezing, sore- ness and stiffness.

Last night, in a let- ter ringing with determination, he made clear that he would go to war with Germany and Austria = rather than surrender the inalienable rights of American citizens to traverse the high se: The president placed honor expedien and showed that determined upon no halfway m —President above his answer to those members of his party who were expected to call upon him today and endeavor to persuade him to yield to the clamor that international law be to the extent of telling Ameriean citizens that they have no right to travel on merchant ships armed for defense. This ringing letter was written to Senator Stone, Chairman of the Com- mittee on Foreign Relations and giv- en to the press by the White Hou late in the evening. The president received a note from Senator Stone setting forth ‘the critical aspect of affairs in congress with respect to the armed merchantmen question. Tn his response, phrased in with a thrill to them, the president placed national honor above political or any other expediency, and declar- ed that he intended to insist that the rights of Americans on the high seas be preserved without abrdigment. War Befor The president’s letter leaves no doubt that he would be willing to go to war with Germany and Austria to uphold that principle of internation- al law which makes the high as free and assures safety for the lives of non-combatant Delligerents. He is willing to war with the House of tives, no matter what its effect may be upon his political fortunes, as well with the Central Powers, if need be, no matter what its effect may be up- on the future of the United States.. But more important, the president’s Dishonor. ultimatum to the Governments of Germany and Austria that they must not carry out their armed merchant- men order at the expense of the lives of American citizens. If they do so the United States will join in the great European contest; that is obvio from what the president tells the Chairman of the Senate Committec on Foreign Relations. President’s Letter. The president’s letter follows: The White House, Washington, Feb. 24, 1916 My Dear Senator—I very warmly appreciate your kind and of today and feel that it an equally frank reply. You are right in assuming shall do everything in my keep the Unitel States out of war I think the country will feel no un- easiness about my course in that re- spect. Through many anxious months I have striven for that object, amidst difficulties more manifold than can have been apparent upon the surface, and so far I have succeeded. I do not doubt that I shall continue to succeed. The course which the tral European powers have announc- ed their intentions of following in the future with regard to undersea war- fare seems for the threaten insuperable obstacles, but its apparent meaning is so manifestly in- consistent with explicit assurances re cently given up by those power: regar vessels on the high seas that I .must believe that explanations will present- ly ensue which will put a aspect upon it. We have had no rea- calls for their fidelity to their that we shall have none in the future Our Duty is Clear. But in any event our duty is clear. No nation, no group of nations, the right while war is in progress to alter or di all nations gation of have agreed upon in miti- the horrors and suffering and if the clear rights of can citizens should ever un- Lappily be abridged or denied by such action we should, it seems to me, have in honor no choice as to at our own course should be. Yor my part, I cannot consent to any abridgment of the rights of Amer- jcan citizens in any respect. The honor and self respect of the nation is involved. We covet peace, and shall preserve it at any cost but the loss of honor. To forbid our people to exercise their rights for fear we might be called upon to vindicate them would be a deep humiliation indeed. Tt would be an implicit, all but an cxplicit, acquiescence in the violation of the rights of mankind everywhere, and of whatever nation or allegiance. It would be a deliberate abdication of our hitherto proud position as spokesmen, even amidst the turmoil of war, for the law and the right. It would make everything this gov- ernment has attempted, and every- thing that it has achieved during this terrible struggle of nations meaning- less and futile. Principle First 1t is important to reflect that if in this instance we allowed expediency to take the place of principle, the door would inevitably be opened to still further concessions. Once accept a single abatement of right, and many other humiliations would cer- tainly follow, and the whole finc fabric of international law might crumble under our hands piece by picce.
