Temporarily at least, Mexico and the border troubles have dropped out of the public eye, but not from the watchful eye of the army. Colonel Arnold, aeronautical officer, announces that' the Mexican border will be patrolled daily from the Gulf to the Pacific by aeroplane: ite the protestations of the MexicAn gov ernment, it i evidently considered no time to relax the border patrol which we have conducted for years. For many vears maintenance of this border patrel against our troubled Southern neighbor has been one of the schools of the soldiers where Ameri- can army men found practice in ap- proximate war conditions. If our air- men are down there now merely for exercise; the border patrol is again serving its purpose as a -training ground, and in any event these “eyes of the army” will be a better protec- jtion than ever against sudden bandit raids that mave more than once in- tensified the Jexican situation near- Iy to the breaking point.

Nature is the great puzzle- tor man—the spirit which swept over the face of the waters before man was. and which created the mountain and the microbe, and decorated the pea- cock and the diatom with the same painstaking care, made the little round hills with its ie plows. and with them distributed the boulders, while the elements ground the rocks into sand and the wind-eddies formed it into beaches, deserts and dunes. and carried to them the sedges and beach- plums which hoid the sandhills in vlace and make a breeding place for birds and rodents. A million tens fo sand, cone-shaped and clad with pine trees, forms one of the eternal hills of which we read, and no sclentist has been able to tell how this pure sand was so svmetrieally piled up between the mountain ranges; and it will re- main a puzzle for geologists to work out for ages to come. What do you suppose birds pick up snake skins for to line their nests? Is it likely that they are a menace to in- sects which infest the nest as spear- mint is to ants; or a menace to some larger foe, as is the scarecrow In the cornfield? The owl niaces the cast- skin of the snake in its nest whenever it can get one; and 50 does the purple finch and the white-eved vireo. either of which must look gueer flying with a foot or two of snake skin tralling behind them. since both are about the size of a sparrow. In these small nests the snake skin is rather a conspicuous object, and there seems mo-doubt the arrangement of it is designed to- be protective. There is no doubt -bird nests differ greatly in their structure, but the lining material Is usually se lected with care. We are told all through life that our conditions are what we make them: but most of us arc aware that most of them are what the other fellow makes them. Because of fthe war and the profligacy with which the government put out momey, and the rampageousness of the contractors for coining money, and the passion ex- cited in evervonc else to make money, there is in this country an incipient state of anarchy among the people. Who are getting to feel that any. gov- ernment which canmat protect - its peopic from the wolves of finance and the foxes of trade is not worth hav- ing. Justice needs to check the free- dom which ensiaves the other fel- low. & What a fine thing the farm Is to run to in summer, and to run away from when the Jand is_ice-hound and the winds are bleak! The real farmer cannot get off the farm any better than we can get off our hobby. He looks at a rhapsodist very much as a doz 100ks at a_squirrsl—something to chase out of sight. The antique and estery working attractions—the poe- try inspiring vistas — do not interest him, since potatoes and onions and corn grubbed frem the -soil and sold for so much a bushel are his depend. ence. The farm cries so loudly to kim o met busy and keep busy, that he doesn’t get the charm which makes the sons of leisure sing while he works. and wipes away the sweat. Animals have keen ears, birds have far-seeing eyes: insects have keen scenting -powert A dog can hear the footsteps: of anoghier dog one hun- dred feet away when he cannot see him; and a bird can see an insect one- thirty-second of an inch in size five hundred feet away: and swallows fiying fifty miles an hour see and catch the midges in the air as they go: and the tiny red ants which in- fest the pantry can scent sour milk as a hound scents a fox. I am not sure that birds and insects do not have methods of communication something like our Marconi system of wireless telegraphy, since they have means of getting together at certain hours of the day and night. without any siz- nal man ean diseern or discover. We have much. to learn from the tiny reatures associated with us. The city folks are hearing the call of the herry patch, and the bovs and girls with baskets and pails are making their way te bayberry and sumac land to gather hlueberries and hueckieberries in all parts of New England. The ber- ry field is a breezy, mosquito, snake, spider and worm infested place, where ¥he ‘pleasire of aromatic odors Is offser by the persistence of the little stinging Insects; but the berry plckers have a merry time. and if they do net All their pails, fill their stemachs, and have adventure senough to talk about and laugh over for a vear. Of ail the parties, the berryii party Is the oldest, and most satisfyin since winter pies are a pleasing reminder of the oldest summer outing. Fow people realize how birds are to nesting places.

STORIES OF THE WAR Red Terror in Budapest. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) What_were the last days of the “Red” Soviet republic in Budapest were fraught with such terrors. hun- ger, misery, uprooting of family ties, heart-breaking partings, flights, ar- rests and legal lootings that the ma- jority of Hungarians are praving that Such days may never come again. They lived like people caught in a burning house with the firemen squirt- ing ‘benzine on the only escape lad- er. One way out was possibly provided by the Czech and Rumainan armies, who, though national enemies of the Magyars, were hailed as saviors. The atmosphere was charged with fears and alarms worse than .those felt on any battle front. A conta- gious fear like that which prevails when an army is in route spread even to foreigners whose persons were comparatively safe from arrest ow- ing to the wishes of Bela Kun, the communist leader, and other minis- ters to save themselves from th gallows when the grand collapse should come. When fathers and sons fled the country to evade arrest or to join the counter-revolutionists, their = wives and mothers whispered at the parting “Let us hove we may meet in hap- pier_times.” When the correspondent of The As- sociated Press had occasion to ex- plain his_ nationality the listener, whether Red Guard, peasant, or civ- ilian. remarked with envy: “What a fortunate man you are, to bhe an American.” “He would invariably ask whether it would be possible to reach America and whether foreigners, former ene- mies, ‘would be permitted to land on her shores. Peasants, who refused to furnish food to Budapest or other| cities hecause they are hostile to communism and want shoes and clothes more than paper money, of. which they have plenty, gladly enough sold meals and suppiles to the cor- respondent on the strength of his American nationality. The eity of Budapest which a few weeks ago had a plentiful supply of eggs—people almost lived upon them and potatoes—is now without egss, because of the obstinacy of the peas- ants. A great many of the stores were closed for lack of goods to sell. or because they have been requisitioned by_the Soviet.

Many jewelers. however, stored their stocks under sidewalks or hid them in holes dug in their cel- lars in preference to trusting them to blockade runmers. Eagle Boats In the White Sea. (Correspondence of the Assotiated Press)—American Eagle boats now are operating on dispatch service in North Russian waters. Eagle Boats Nos. 1, 2 and 3, the first built of this type for the Amer- ican government, arrived in Archangel after a 6,200 mile run under their own Steam from the Atlantic seaboard and according to thier officers, have more than made good. Crews of the larger naval vessels are inclined to chaff the Eagle Boat men and call these craft the “tin lizzies” of the navy, but the officers of the Eagles are proud of their sea- worthiness and efficiency. - The Associated Press correspondent has just made a_trip from Archangel to Kem, across the White Sea. aboard the flagship of the little fiotilla. and in this 16-hour run, in stormy weath- er, the flagship and the No. 1 had ample opportunity to show their sea- worthiness. . ! In Archangel. at this season of the vear, the weather has beem. almost iropical, and the American officers, who had expected to find the aretic frigid_even in the eternal daylight | days of June, were confronted, instead, | with temperatures and sunshine that | made white duck the prescribed umi- form. Two hours out of Archangel. how- cver, at the enrance to the White Sea, the Eagles ran into a cold gale and snowstorm which set the light craft tossing and roling and forcea the crews quickly into their woolens and ilskins. However. the Eagles kept ploughing along to their course. and arrived in Kem harbor none the worse for one of the worst batterings they have vet received. With their two four-inch guns, one three-inch anti-aireraft gun. and ma- chine-gun antj-airplanc battery. the Eagles might be expected to give a £00d account of themselves, say the offcers, against submarines or any . above ‘the water craft of anything I near their size.

Pillage in Smyrn: { (Correspondence of The Assoclated Press)—The Greek Army of Occupa- tion which landed at Smyrma a few months ago murdered and pillaged the Turks, according to a letter published Ly Marmaduke Pickthall a well- known writer of eastern affairs. The writer of the letter was described by Mr. Picktball as “the reliable corre- spondent” bur his identity was not disclosed. The writer asserts that when the Greek army landed at Smyrna, Turk- ish troops had been ordered by the Turkish authorities to remain in their barracks and that they did so: but that the G ks broke inte places where Turkish officers were collected and shot down all who would net shout “Long live Venizelos.” Many were thus shot down, according to the writer. The writer adds: “The governmor of Smyrna was dragged along the wharf and carried abo: a Greek ship. Iiis wife was wounded and his house looted. The Turkish chief of staff was bayoneted in the face and thrown into hold of the Greek cattle ship among the ani- mals. The senior doctor of the Tur] ish army corps was murdered and | his body mutilated. Fingers of Turk- ish women and men who wore rings were cut off wholesale. Houses were lpoted. women robbed of all their Jewels. “This was supposed to be an abso- lutely peaceful oecupation in the in- terests of law and order. Greece had not even beem at war with Turkey.

Reports from Great Britain, formerly the world's chief coal ex- porter, "indicate that her exportation of coal in the year ending with June are but one-half that of 'the year pre- ceding the war, while our own coal exports have meantime increased over 25 per cent, making the United States for 1918 a close second to Great Britain, with a prospect that our total fiscal year just opening will materially exceed that of Great Bri- tain. 3 Coal exports from Great PBritain, according to a statement by the Na- tional City Bank of New York, have fallen from 73,400,000 tons in 1913 to approximately ' 37,000,000 tons in the iwelve months ending with Jume 1919, while our own exports which were a little over 19,000,000 tons in the fiseal year 1914 were nearly 15,000,000 in the tiscal year 1918. Figures showing quantity eof coal entering international trade in the year prior to the war, as compiled by the bank. show a grand total of the about 1§0.000.000 tons, of which Great | Britain_supplied 74,000,600 tons; Ger- many 35.000,000; 000,000; Belgium 6,000,000 000.000° South Africa 000,000, and (anada about 2,000,000 each. of coal averaged prior to the war about 70,000,000 tons per annum, but iatest advices from that country show that the steady reduetion of output which has characterized the war pe- ried, and especially the very recent and British exports Australiz vears, indicate that the total produc- | be lttle | tion from her mines will more than hernormal home consump- tion. and that at the best “the eoal controller”, aceording to the Lendon Economist of June 21st. “eannot as- sure us of more than 23,000.000 tons of coal for export for the 12 months beginning with July 16, 1319”, while as above indicated. the total for the year ending with 'July was but about one-half that of the vear preceding the war. Meaniime Germany, whieh ranked next to Great Britain, as a ewal ex- porter prior to the war, loses by the peace treaty, a considerable percent- age of her cosl area, and according to recent reporis frém that country, will probably show a fall off of 50,000,000 fops per annum in her production, and as her total surplus for export- ation prior to the war was but about 35,000,000 tons. it is apparent that she will have, aside from that whieh she must supply te France, littie for ex- portation. The other coal exporting countries, after ' considering = Great Britain, Germany and the United States, are Beigium, whose annual export of coal amounted to about §,- 000,000 tons Japan _about 4,000,000 tohs: South Africa, Canada and Aus- tralia, a couple miilion tons each. These figures of the fall off of more than one-half in the British power ef coal exportation, the elimination of Germany #s & coal exporter. (except | to France). and the extremely small quantity swhich any other eountry of the world. other tham the Unjted States will take jts place at the head of the lits of coa) exporting countries in the fiscal year upon which it is now entering remain permanently the world’s great coal exporter.
