GIRL SCOUTS TO RAISE
CARRIER PIGEONS.

The Red Rose troop, Girl
Scouts Of Cordele, is another order
that is thoroughly wide awake and
abreast of the times, and will contri-
butte their bit" They are going to
undertake a new and special work
for our soldiers. General Pershing
has written our government to send
him carrier pigeons. If every girl
scout will feed and rear a pair of
carrier pigeons and breed from them
more little couples OF pigeons to- send
our government, she will be furnish
ing swift little messengers to carry
notes and maps with exact position
of the enemy's guns from the battle
lines to the generals in command. In
France these pigeons are bred in lofts
behind the firing lines. An aviator
takes them away from their loft and
carries them with him on his fight.
When he has spied out the enemy's
position he ties a tiny note or map
to a pigeons leg and releases it. 1t
flies back home to it's loft and brings
it's message to the soldiers waiting
at their guns. In this way one little
bird does the work of man and a
machine, and will probably mean the
saving of hundreds of human lives.
Usually pair of pigeons are releas-
ed together, for pigeons are love birds
and will not leave their mates, but
flying together they return home with
remarkable rapidity. They can travel
great distances. During military OPP
erations they are expected to go only
from ten to sixty or seventy miles,
or to communicate between parties
Of men cut off by the enemy. The
following is an extract from a letter
from an officer in France written to
the National President, Girl Scouts:
Get your girl Scouts to rear carrier
pigeons for us. Our pigeons here
have a travelling loft and after it has
stayed ten to fifteen days in one spot
they will go back to it, The travelling
loft is like an omnibus painted black
and white so they can see it from a
distance. We use these pigeons even
to call for barrage fire when we are
attacked suddenly"
