Nor is Nature reflecting her colors alone in this early spring bird. It would seem as though she had tuned the voice of the Bluebird to be in keeping with; tlhe soft air olf spring. From, the orchard or the wood lot across the field comes the mellcw, soft, warbling of the male, fitting so. well with this gentle season, We nevcr weary of the song of the Bluebird. What a grating note lt would be on the air had the bird a harsh chatter or a strident scream! The Bluebird is true thrush He belongs to a very musical family, for the thrushes are among our most gifted songsters. But whcreas it will be April, or even May. before the Hermit ‘Ilhrusb. the Word Thrush, or the Veery ar- rive from the south, the Bluebird. the brightest in piummage of ali the family, is with us as curly i as March. There may be sncw still upon thc ground: there yet may |be a blizzard. Still, this gentle, richly-colored, sweet-voiced thrirh ; has returned - cne of our earliest spring birds. l Not only is the Bluebird the most colorful of tlhe thrushes, but o-f all this refined family he alone is the exception in nesting habits. All the other tlhrushes build carefully ccnstructed new in well-chosen sites. generally in the woodlands. The Bluebird seeks out a hollow limb or some cranny in a fence-post. and dorp down below the entrance a grassy nest is built and the act of blue eggs is laid. (Strange that a Blur-bird should lrty blue eggs when those oi’ most hole-dwellers are white). And this gives you a little hint as to haw you may make a friend of this llfilqlle nester. A bird box. espec- ially one which is constructed along natural llncs to appear like a hal- low limb cr built of rough slabs. will tempt the Bluebird to Iingcr near your garden or in your orch- ard, and raise hi: family. You will then have riot only the pleasure of rich, warbling szng. but your gar- den will be rid of many insect pests, as Bluebirds are insect- eaters.

Unity (By G. E. POWELL) (Canadian Press Correspondent) CADCITITA, India, April 6—iCP) —Efforts by the viceroy. 140ml Linlithgow. to persuade Hindus and Moslems to co-operate in the ad- ministration of India so far have met with no response. The breach between the two largest groups in this huge, sub-continent remains as wide as ever. The British aim for India is ack- nowledged to be ultimate Dominion status. As an immediate step 10rd Linlithgow offered to include a small number of political leaders in the governor-gcnezaks Kitincil But neither the chiefs of Congress nor of the Mosfcm League, with the biggest following in the respec- tive groups, have shown willing- ness to accept this gesture. M. K. Gandhi nut. the Congress this way after an inter- view with the viceroy: "The vital difference between the Coiigrcss demand and the viccroys offer cou- sisis in the fact that the vicero_v‘s offer contemplates final determin- ation of India's destiny by the British government; the Congnzss contemplates England accepting the position that the time has come when India must be allowed to dc- termine her own constitution and status. When this is done the ones- tlons oi’ defence, minorities. Princes and European interests will be au- tomatically dixolved." Moslems Opposed Congress proposes a constituent assembly. Sordar Vailabbhai Patel, Gandhi's right-hand man, said an assembly consisting not of dcle- gates directly elegtcd by the peo- ple but of the present members oi’ the central and ‘glviiicial legis- latures would meet the pnrtys demand. But the Moslem league and the Liberals lejard a con- stituent assembly on those lines as hzzpracticable and undesirable. ‘The latter urze "a smail confer- ence oi’ 150 m" “ers elected by re- cognized orgcfi ions" to settle the constitution after the war. The Moslem League says it will put for- ward concrete proposals "when the British government and other par- ties are seriously and earnestly ready to tackle the question of the future constitution and show read- iness to set up suitable machinery." It professes itself not fully satis- fied with the viccroys latest pro- nouncement and asks that Britain review the constitutional problem afresh. All Jinnah, leader of the Moslem League. proeaims that India is two nations, Hindu and Moslem. A con- stituent assemblv elected by the il- literate and caste-ridden masses. he says, would be entirely under the influence of the Congress leaders. who would use it to abolish the India States. stifle opposition. and create “a great Hindu nation." He deildes Gandhi's sugzestion that an impartial tribunal should decide communal issues. Nor is Moslem India prepared to accept the final arbitrwlcnt of Great Britain. Attempts to impose un- qualified western democracy on India must cease. Efforts to arrange a meeting be- tween Jinnah and Pandit Jawa- harlai Nehru. left wing Congress leader, to settle their political dif- ferences. broke down Moves by the Moslem premiers} of Bengal and the Punjab to‘ broaden the basis of their min-t istries are regarded as hopeful symptoms of greater political co- operation. Both premiers tend to be independent of Jinnah. The Na- tional Liberal Federation suppozts the move for broader ministries, hoping it will eventually find favor hi the eyes of Congress. Provincial governors have taken over the administration in seven provinces ln which Congress min- lsiries r Mined —Orissa, Bihnr, the United Provinces, the Central Pro- vinces, Bombov.

April 5—(CP) — For lwLll combatants, the situation w- day is vastly different from that alter more than six months of the l" r=t Great. War. Then, Germany had secured possession of Belgium, unzl a great slice of northern France, The Allies had had all the worst of it in the first exchange of the war. They had only been saved by the miracle of the Marne. That victory still left them the task of driving the invader out of France and Belgium, They were in no condition of undertake such a Job. They had lost 600.000 men-i in the first six months‘ fightin . includ- ling the flower of the Bri ish army | and a very high percentage of it! l officers. Reserves of munitions w!!! exhausted. Everything pointed to the neces- sity for patience. while the poten- tial strength of the Allies was be- ing developed. But the urge to take offensive action to drive out the invader. and in order to assist Rus- sia. was rresistibie, It resulted in fritteriiig away strength almost as fast. as it could be developed. In the present war, neither side has as yet Suffered appreciable losses. The German Atmy indeed is at its full strength. For that rea- son its leaders may feel an urge to =tuke the offensive before the Allies _ attain their maximum power. But the urge implies risk failure. For the French Army is in- tact, at lull strength and has the assistance of the pnvserftil and growing British contingent. German Army Tradition To what degree is the risk of fail- ure stiil pri=<ent in the German military mind? After having fought for four years with skill and gallantry. the German army in 1918 was decisive- ly beaten in tlle field -and by troops who for the most part were almost as exhusted as their ad- vwsaries.

The tradition of invinci- biiiiy, established by a century of victories. was too valuable to be lost. The legend, of course. was eagerly accepted by the Nazis in support of their doctrines. The Allies have now to face the new German army. swollen to its maximum size. and impregnated with this belief in its lnvincibility‘. Whether some of its leaders and older men conceal secret. doubts. one cannot say. One may suspect, however, that doubts exist which would cause the leaders to shrink frotn etitorprises which might prove I l] Lady l, i l lliisucccssftil. even if not ciefinitell" diszlstrotis. For there are signs of new spirit of caution. This element of caution may "make it all the more difficult to defeat this new Germany army. _If the Germans attack, the A1- lles are in a strong position to unect thcni and to counter-attack. But it is premature tor open offensive operations How far can the Allies be trust. ed to endure patientiy a war of nerves? The French temperament, them to OIIG might think, would fool the strain ‘ more acutely. But the French. by ' liiriny and bitter experiences, have learned to treat the hardships and inconveniences of war philosophic- ally. The British, on the other hand, ,rcscnt disturbances of normal life. They appear at their vlery best when sufferings and hardships reach a stage which call out the latent qualities of the race —it.s "mt. bull-dog tenacity. arid saving. sense of humor.
