HoMERs IN GERMAN TRENCHES
Carrier Pigeons Convey Messages
When Other Communications Fail.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
BEHIND THE SOMME FRONT. Sep
tember 12.-Scattered along the Ger
man lines in France, but several miles
to the rear, Is succession of carrier
pigeon stations'' which form an ef-
fective link in the German scheme of
defense, and in times of extreme stress
can become well nigh invaluable. Espe-
cially is this the case when all other
means of communication from the
front trenches with the rear are de-
stroyed.
In the trenches are kept cages Of
trained pigeons. The birds are kept
constantly in practice so that in times
of emergency they will go without fall
to some station to give word of dis
aster that might have been telephoned
had not the telephone connection been
shot away or otherwise destroyed
The messages are written on tiny
pieces of paper, inclosed In thimble-
like aluminium containers, which 'are
attached to a leg OF the bird, and the
fliers are released. If longer messages
must be sent or maps have to be trans
mitted. these are inclosed in larger
container, which is attached to a sort
Of harness that can be put over the
birds head and fitted tight to its body

NEW YORK. September 25.-The cot

advance of to 16 points in response
to relatively firm cables. and reports
from Memphis that an authority there
placed the condition of the crop at
5S.3. compared with its report of 64s
last month There was considerable
scattered realizing and southern selling
at the advance under which prices eased
S or 6 points after the call, but COM
mission houses were good buyers. offer
ings from the south were smaller, and
prices held very steady toward the
middle of the morning, with Decem-
ber selling around 1917 and January

higher.
Futures opened firm; October, 1890;

The advance extended to 1927 for
December and 1854 for January dur
ing the middle of the morning or
about 20 to 26 points above the pre-
vious close and some 38 points above
the low level of Saturday. Wall street

ers on the advance, supposedly to
cover shorts. but the demand tapered
off toward midday. and there were
slight reactions under realizing.
