the four neutrals who will not fight

On* morning in April I heard thei

in the viney 'd below me. Going
down here, I saw a pair of bluebirds;

perching on the wires end posts in ait
angry and excited frame of mind.
Some of their movements and gestures
suggested that they were scrapping.
"But why should bluebirds and
robins scrap?" I asked myself. I had
never seen them do such a thing, so 1
began looking about for a common
enemy and expected to Had a cat
skulking in a ditch there or may be a
snake. But 1 could find neither; still
the excited and accusing voices kept it
up. Then 1 chanced to see some dry
grass and weed stalks hanging down
from a grape post which were splintered
and broken at the top. I found
that the robins were building a nest
there in a ragged depression on the
top of the poet and that a foot and
a half lower down the blue birds had
preempted a downy woodpecker's old
hole and were building nest there.
The fracus was explained; neither
pair of birds wanted the other such
near neighbors. Each looked upon
the post as its own. I saw that the
robins had made a bad choice?no
cover or screen of any kind. The.
first old crow that flew over in egging J
time would see the nest and rifle it j
promptly. I wish I could have told
the mother robin of the dangerous
site of her nest. A week or ten days
later I saw her brooding her eggs in
apparent security but not long afterwards
I found her gone and her nest
empty and torn; but as I put my
hand on the post, out wen the mother
bluebirds. The crows and jays
could not reach her, and she was
right in claiming the post as lone
suited to her needs. Birds haye their

Second Lieut. U. 8. Oruat, of tM t
ordnance reserve corps, paid a i
friendly call upon First Lieut, Rob- (
ert B. Lee, of the second Ptoaeor ,
Infantry, at the letter's teat. Lisatenant
Grant la a grandson add .
namesake of the great Union goner' .
al, ad Lieutenant Lee la a great ,
nephew and namesake of the' Con- '
federate ehieftan. |
Lieutenant Grant received his j
commission in the. ordnance eorpa y
only a few days ago. He came here (
last September as a private m the ,
One Hundred and Seoond Ammunl- j
tion train, and was later made a ,
corporal. He is one of the most (
popular men in his company and ,
has applied himself so well that he (
won a commission as the result of ]
a special examination. He -will y
probably be assigned to duty in a
government laboratory ot munitions
plant, because of his knowledge of
chemistry. Lieutenant Lee graduated
from the officers' training
school at Fort Myer last summer,
and was sent to Camp Meade, Md..
and transferred here about a month
ago.
The meeting between the two
young officers with the illustrious
names was arranged by Lieut. Col.
Franklin W. Ward, adjutant of the
i wemy-sevenin division. He tola
Lieutenant Grant it would be a 1
graceful thing for him to do, to call i
on Lieutonant Lee and welcome ]
him. to Camp Wadsworth. Lieuten- ]
ant Grant hesitated a moment, for ]
for he is a modest chap, but accept- <
ed the suggestion and went over Sun- <
day morning to pay the call. 1
Lieutenant Lee gave him a
hearty welcome. "Come right in." <
he said cordially. "I had heard of
you and intended to look you up."
The two young officers chatted on
general subjects for several minutes.
There was no reference to j
the meeting between the other
Grant and the other Lee at Appromat
to* more than 50 years ago, and
if either had that even in his
thoughts he gave no sign. It was *
just a friendly conversation between ?
two young officers of the American v
army of today. I
"I am glad to have met you, t
said Lieutenant Grant as he afose 0
to go "and I wish you the best of 1
luck." *
"The same to you," replied Lieu- Jj
