Soidiers' Pets.

BILLY" the baboon mascot of the
first body of South African troops to
arrive in this country is not the only
ape luck bringer in the British army.
Many of the regiments who took part
in the South African War brought
home balloons as pets, some being very
big, yet quite tame
The Fourteenth Hussars brought
home pet monkey which they had
caught in a trap baited with bits of
bread and treacle; while the East
Yorkshire Regiment brought home
"Jacko" pet baboon which they found
one morning in a bread wagon where
1t had climbed during the night to
get something to eat.
Several of the Australian regiments
have kangaroos as pets, which were
taken on active service in Egypt and
the Dardanelles, according to Messrs.
Gale and Polden's interesting book,
'RegimentaI Pets"
made pets of, among them being huge
elephants, which are used to draw the
big guns of the heavy artillery
Nearly all the regiments belonging
to Wales are allowed to have a pet
goat to march at their head For
presented goats to the Welsh regi-
ments, the animals being regarded
with great pride. Their horns are US
ually decorated with massive silver
mounts, while on special occasions
handsome coats are worn.
Perhaps the most curious pair of
pets belonging to a British regiment
are the gnus, or, as are better known,
w1ldebeestes, which were brought
home to England with the South
Wales Borderers from South Africa,
they were caught when only few
weeks old on the weld, and when they
grew big and strong their massive
horns were tipped with handsome sill
yer ornaments, and they were trained
to march at the head of the regiment
on parade, naturally attracting a great
deal of curiosity and interest.
Among the prettiest pets in the army
are the antelopes of the Royal Warick-
shire Regiment, which are led at the
head of the battalion by long white
RIBBONS attached to beautiful silver
collars.-Tit-Bits

GREATERF FORT
BILL DELAYED
Pending Decision on Pre-
paredness, Fort Enlarge
ment is Sidetracked.

Greater Fort Bliss will not be nos
sible until the final decision is reached
by congress upon the plan to make the
army much larger than it is at the
present time.
The military committee has been ad-
vised from Washington that the Smith
Sheppard bill charging Fort Bliss to
be q brigade post will not be acted
upon at this time as the future plans of
the army are unsettled because Of the
delay in acting upon the preparedness
plans now in congress.
Until it is decided what the size of
the new army will be, no definite
plans will be made as to the enlarge
ment Of present army posts, including
Fort Bliss. The Fort Bliss bill carries
an appropriation for $1,461,95O for the
enlargement Of the local post. this
estimate having been prepared BY the
quartermaster corps recently, after an
officer had come here from Washing
ton and gone over the situation.
Both congressman W. f. Smith. who
originally introduced. the bill, and sem
ator Sheppard. who introduced it in
the senate, are confident that the
measure will become a law as soon as
the present army legislation passes and
the size of the army has been definite
