Text Appearing Before Image:
nd, who used to fly by wayof the Aisne and the mud lakes of Cham-pagne, now make a long round by sea anddo not touch land until they arrive off thecoast of Brittany. Snipe from Russia andPoland wing their way for sunny climes byway of the western coast of the Black Sea togain the Bosphorus, or else cross Greece andRoumania. German and Danish Snipe gosouth by way of Italy, and the Thrushesescape the shrapnel of the front in Franceby crossing Switzerland and making forItaly. The Wild Ducks of the easterncounties of England, which used to fly overthe North Sea, have also a horror of battles,and now fly north, then west, and then southagain, skirting the coast of Ireland.
