LONDON. May transportation Of
the ancient black witch sort is coming
back into its own as a result Of the
war. BOT only England but all the
other European countries report the
same condition--that wherever men are
facing death they incline to watch lit
tie signs and omens, and this spirit
quickly spreads through their families.
All units leaving for the front have
some Kind OF q pet or mascot, usually
n eat or dog, and the lives of those
pets are guarded with extreme care.
IA Australian artillery battalion which
got into action early in the Dardanclles
campaign had black cat which made
its fist appearance during the bat
talon $ first engagement. Men ON every
side OF the uait were killed. but not a
casualty occurred among those pro.
tectpd by the cat. Thereafter the com
handing officer kept the cat in his
quarters and each day sent his orderly
eut with the eat while it had its air
ing.
There Wc4e uo chances taken Of the
mascot getting into danger. for when
ever thc orderly sailed forth on the
constitutional the officer made him tie
Ia string around its neck to prevent it
running away. The jokes that were
passed 10y other units upon the orderly
leading the eat may well bc imagined.
The battalion was later moved to the
Somme and on June 20 discovered that
the mascot had got into a house which
was under heavy fire One shell was
seen to burst directlr over the building

iously put on the left shoe and sock
before touching the right.
Another superstition common among
the fighting forces is that b. rubbing
spilled wine or spirits back of the ears
it brings good luck 1t is believed that
this sign spread among the British
forces through contact with the French,
who believe in the omen religiously.
Just before the start Of raid or dash
over the parapct the English forces
are served with a ration Of wmsley or
brandy, and i'll every ease the men
quietly gather around the one
who pours out the stimulants, holding
their hands under the jug to catch
the drip and rubbing the little they
catch back Of their ears.
In nearly every British newspaper
may be seen advertisements Of lucky
omens. One especially popular is an
imitation of q little Mohammcdan head
supposed to be a replica of pocket
piece carried by an Amaze who went
through uncanny dangers on Gallipoh
and in Egypt without a scratch. One
company has secured a patent on this
crazy looking little image, and from all
reports is making q fortune on its sale.
Besides these images the men going to
France usually carry a piece of coal
