EW YORK.—We are quite cer tain that there is a chipping sparrow out our way which didn't stand still long enough to be count ed. but at any Stuffed Bird Cult rate Roger Peterson’s Count Tory Peter son's national To 5,750,000,000 bird count of 5.750.000,000 receives respectful, even admiring attention, and no challenges or quibbles about it. Concurrently the National Audu bon society, of which Mr. Peterson Is educational director, begins a drive for the protection of birds and other wild life in defense areas. At the age of 26, Mr. Peterson proved that bird lore can be made to yield a lot more than mere bird seed. That was in 1934, when he published his hook. "Field Guide to the Birds." As bird hooks go it was a best-seller, warmly praised not only by the somewhat eso teric cult of bird-fanciers, but by a much wider public, which appreciated its clarity and sim plicity. There came ether edi tions and then his "Field Guide Io II ih S Ilf till- West." anil Ills "Junior Hook of Binis." of IMS. All in all, Mr. Peterson’s books and magazine articles were so successful that he has had plen ty of time to count birds—even live billions of them. ' & DREW PEARfON W £ ROBERT ALLEN Washington, D. C. NAZI SABOTAGE The man to watch in Europe to day—next to Hitler—is a suave and charming diplomat in Turkey named Franz von Papen. It is al ways a significant omen when Hitler sends Von Papen to a country, It means he has dire and potent in- tentions regarding that area. It was Von Papen who went to Austria as ambassador to soften it in preparation for tlie Nazi oc cupation. It was Von Papen who 26 years ago tried to do the same thing here. And now. with weath er getting cold in Russia and Hitler running lower and lower on oil, a Nazi squeeze on Turkey becomes almost inevitable. To prepare for it. Ambassador Von Papen has been working overtime in Turkey. Almost forgotten is Von Pnpen's attempt to soften and sabotage the United States during the last war. But his operations here indicate the lengths to which he may go in Tur- key to bring that country into the Axis. In 1915, Von Papen was German military attache in Washington when Count Johann von Bernstorff returned from England with a satchel containing $150/100.000 in German treasury notes. Von Papen, then in Mexico City, hurried north, and immediately I began organizing a network of spies. Invasion Via Canada. After selecting his agents care fully, Von Papen laid the following plans: No. 1. To invade Canada tnrough British Columbia with the aid of German warships in the Pacific and German reservists in the United States. This plan was vetoed by Von Bernstorff. No. 2. To blow up the Welland canal, This scheme likewise was abandoned, because the canal was too well guarded. No. 3. To blow up Canadian rail- roads in an effort to prevent trans portation of Japanese troops through Canada. (The Japanese were fighting with the Allies.) No. 4. To blow up the Internation al bridge at Vanceboro, Maine. This was accomplished through an agent named Werner Horn. Von Papen was so industrious and unscrupulous that he over-reached himself, and Wilson demanded his recall. But when he reached home, both he and Bernstorff were award ed decorations, and both promoted. Subsequently, Von Papen became chancellor of Germany and he took part in the conspiracies which brought Hitler into power. He not only writes but illustrates his books, having emerged from the New York Art Students' league as a highly qualified decorative artist. He is known as the best American authority on field identification of birds. Mr. Peterson had an adventure at the convention of the society at Cape May last year, which, so far as we can learn, was not picked up by the news hawks at the time, It seems a group of ornithologists. Pe terson included, got up at 4 30 to clock a scheduled hawk migration.
