AME RIcAN ENPEDIT1ONARY
ARMY. Sept. 5.-Any soldier knows that
luck is a better protector than tin hat
as a gas mask. So every soldier gets
a mascot. Some Of the mascots with
the first American army have had esper-
ience and have proved that they can
bring luck.
For instance. there Is Jimmy the ant
eater. who belongs to the marines.
Jimmy was at Vera Cruz and the Amer
leans took the city. Later he stopped
off at Hayti and in consequence the
rebels were defeated by the interven-
ing forces. He is said to be the only
ant eater in the, world who has been
through two campaigns.
Army life has broadened Jimmy. He
has learned to eat frogs and hardtack
and flies and pie and beetles apd corned
beef AS a matter of fact. Jimmy Will
eat almost anything but ants. or course
he will not refuse a morsel simply be-
cause ants are in it. but he no longer
finds any satisfaction in making an en-
tire meal out of the pesky insects. Pos
sibly he feels that to maintain his old
standard Of living would reflect upon
the hospitality OF the marines
The marines are equally tacttul.
Jimmy remains by courtesy an ant eater
and is always SO termed when exhibited
to visitors.
He has TWO tricks. He will squeak
if his tail is pulled ever. ever so gently
and he will demoliSh and put out burn
ing cigars or cigarettes. The latter
trick Is his f;Ivrritc. He stamps out
the glowing tobacco with his forepaws
and tears III. cigar or cigarette to
pieces.
The stunt is no longer universally
popular The marine who dropped hum
dred-franc note by mistake just in front

OUR SAMMES STRONG FOR MASCOTS TO .
PROTECT THEM FROM THE TEUT0N PERIL

Of Jimmy says that teaching tricks TO
ant-eaters is oil foolishncss.
However, Jimmy has picked up few
stunts on his own account. 1t Is not
thought probable that any marine ever
encouraged him in his habit OF biting
enlisted men of the regular army and
reserve officers. There is belief that
Jimmy works on broad general prin-
ciples. and many marines fear that
they will no longer be immune from
his teeth when the distinctive forest
green Of their organization is aban-
doned for the conventional khaki Of
the rest OF the army.
Sam. the lion cub which belongs to
one Of the infantry regiments. is less
particular. He will bite anybody. He
has no affection even for his master.
It is feared that he may not be pleas
ant playmate when he attains full
growth. but then he will be ready to
be sicked over the top at the Germans
Dogs are the most common of regi-
mental or company mascots. The ma
jority joined the army over here. but
one or two have records. OF honorable
service. Bravo. for instance. comes Of
famous family Of army dogs. His
father before him was doughboy.
Bravo doubles as mascot and rat catch
'er. He Is an excellent ratter. but that
came from his mother She was. how
ever. a navy dog and her namc is not
often mentioned.
The local dogs who are acting as
mascotS are almost entirely volunteers.
They try to make UP what they lack in
breeding by an excess Of zeal, but it
must be admitted that there are still q
number Of English words which puzzle
them.
Soldiers have taken great pains to drill
the geese in some villages. Their old
formations were executed raggedly. But
II is one thing to instruct a goose and
another to make a pal Of him, Geese
may have served to save Rome but they
will hold no responsible position In the
American army.
