KULTUR DISCIPLINE
EVEN AMONG BABOONS
A Perfect Military Camp Estab-
lished When Jungle Ami
mails Are Busy Feeding

The baboons Of Africa probably have
the best military regulations OF any OF
the animals. SAYS the Youths Compan-
ion. While they are feeding in dam
gerous place, they set sentrles on every
side-big wise. veteran balloons that
sit perfectly quiet and keep a vigiant
watch At sharp bark of warning
from one Of these outposts. every ape
ceases his occupation: even the babies
hush their cries on the instant. At an
other bark all may resume work or
play. or again, the second note may
carry n different message; then the
leader gives a norder. and all retreat
rapidly to the denser part of the forest.
When travelling, these creatures have
both a front and rear guard. Half
dozen powerful apes scout well in front
of the main body, now inspecting the
woods from the ground. now climbing
to the tops of the tallest trees. If the
traveller comes upon a tribe of balloons
he usually sees only one of the scouts,
who bares his teeth savagely, barks once
and Is gone. Farther away the hunter
may observe the whipping Of branches
as the rest of the tribe retreat so rapidly
that no man can overtake them Should
the observer happen upon the rear guard
he will observe that they behave differ
emily from the scouts. Not silent or
cautious, they constantly give quick,
sharp commands. now angrily chidlng
some tagging youngster or giving another
n slap and a bite.
As far as we know, the baboons are the
only apes or other animals that post a
sentry at night. Commonly, they sleep
i'm caves among the cliffs, and when all
have retired to rest you may be sure that
one of their number will be wide awake,
sitting on some exposed rock or other
point of vantage from which he can see
in every direction. Not even the leop-
ard, the most determined foe of the ba-
boon, dares attack them at night, unless
he can surprise and kill the sentry. When
attacked they will fight in defense of
their families until the last man" is
