CARRIER PIGEONS
KILLED BY HUNTERS

Complaints have been made to the
pigeon section of the Signal Corps
that carrier pigeons of the racing
homer type, being trained through
out the United States for communica-
tion service with the American army,
have been shot by persons on hunt
ing expeditions.
Because of the important part car
rier and homing pigeons are playing
in the war, and the need for their
breeding and development in this
country, the war department has con-
siderably expanded the pigeon sec
tion of the Signal Corps. Homing
pigeons constitute one of the most
effective means of communication in
the army.
Any pigeon in the air may be a
carrier pigeon flying from a loft un-
der government supervision. It's de-
struction may be serious loss to
the American army Anyone coming
into possession of pigeons labeled
"U. S. AS indicating they are
being trained for army purposes, is
requested to report the fact at once
to the office of the Chief Signal Of
ficer, Land Division, Washington,

EVERY HEN SOLD
MEANS FOOD LOSS

Portland, Ore, Feb. 25.-W. B.
Aver, federal food administrator for
Oregon, has issued the following
statement, to which he directs the
attention of all farmers, poultrymen,
wholesale and commission men, and
retail dealers who sell supplies to
hotels, restaurants or other public
eating places in this state:
The United States Food Admin
istration states that every hen which
is sold before the first of May repre-
sents a food loss to the nation of
about 80 eggs. The total loss of eggs
represented by the customary selling
of hens between February and May
is about 12,500,000 dozen. The
value of these eggs is about 80 per
cent of what hen is worth, so that
this prohibition against the sale of
hens and pullets is not a loss to the
farmer, but an actual gain. There
fore, no licensee shall, between Feb
ruary II and April 80, 1918, pur-
chase, ship, sell or negotiate the sale
of any live or freshly killed hens or
pullets. Farmers should not kill
them, and people should not buy
them.
AS this prohibition applies only
to licensees, it does not prevent the
producer or the unlicensed dealer
from selling his stock. have, there
fore, set a price of not to exceed "a
cents for live hens and pullets, and
2S cents for dressed, and the same
shall not retail for more than 80
cents, and the same cannot be sold
Ey any licensee, and, as before an
nounced, any dealer selling supplies
to hotels, restaurants or other public
eating places must be licensed. There
is no restriction on the killing or the
sale of roosters or cockerels, or other
poultry.
Fully appreciating that the sup
ply of poultry would become insuffi-
cient for ordinary needs, except for
the stock now held in cold storage,
am compelled to recognize the price
for this stock in other markets, and
if poultry is to be retained here for
consumption and not to be shipped
out of the state, a reasonable price
must be assured. l have assurances
from number of cold storage plants
that they will not charge over 80
cents per pound, and such cold stor-
age stock cannot be retailed for over
80 cents, and any prices in excess of
these will be considered unfair and

do not succeed in debating all the

do not succeed in debating all the
terms Of peace:
Germany, her territory unscathed
by the present war, will have in
large measuer recovered from its ef-
fects, while, with her continental en-
emies SO bitterly ravished by the
wars sweep, the process of regenera-
tion will scarcely have gotten well
under way. The mobilization of her
man power and that of her allies will
place an army Of 100000 men,
all German-trained and German
equipped, under the German COM
Dland, to be thrown against one
fourth of that force in Europe. This
time the struggle will be short.
There will be no miscalculation, no
Marne, no Verdum
Then will the real German aim
not Hamburg-Bagdad, but Calais
Bagdad-be achieved; and out of the
apparent downfall of the present war
will spring the world power of which
the Pan-Germanic League has been
dreaming since 1870, and of which
Bernhard wrote in 1872.
Gardiner concludes that America
must carry on the war to a successful
conclusion, namely, the defeat of
Germany. He declares this nation is
in the war for self-defense, and that
there can be no permanent peace un-
less the German military power and
the German aim of conquest and do
minion be destroyed.
Otherwise, he says, the peace will
not be peace, but merely truce,
and all the sacrifices of life and
treasure will have been in vain.

GERMANY'S DEMAND
AS TERMS OF PEACE

One of the terms of peace which
Germany will insist on will be, IN
case of a negotiated peace, the restor-
alton of her African colonies, or in
case of victory, the surrender to her
not only of the colonies which she
possessed previous to August, 1914,
but those of England, France and
Belgium as we'll, writes j. B. w.
Gardiner in Worlds Work. This, in
deed, is already being openly advo-
Gated in the German press. The col
onial troops, it is argued, have
proved their great value in this war
in two ways. First, they have been
a material addition to the forces in
Europe, and have given an excellent
account of themselves on the Euro
pean battlefield. Secondly, they can
be made thoroughly competent to de-
fend their own land against any at
tacks to which future war might sub
ject them.
In at least one of the German pa
pers commenting on the plan of mo-
bilizing Africa, it was openly stated
without effort at concealment that
the basic idea was a preparation for
the next war
The question of population is also
inextricably entwined about the re-
duction of Germany's allies, econom-
ically at least, to the status of Ger
man vassals. Germany has seen to
it that financially she controls their
destinies.
This subservience to German domi-
nation is, in the case of Turkey in
particular, in every sense absolute.
This the kaiser has carefully and
skillfully contrived to bring about,
since Turkey is the most important
link in the German chain of influ-
ence. 1t is not merely because the
longer section of the Bagdad railway
runs through the Turkish empire.
The most potent element is the Turk
ish population-25, 100000 people
almost half as large as that of Ger
Place this population under
German rule for twenty-five years,
permit Germany to mobilize and train
and control its latent resources, and
we shall at the end of that period see
a military force of more than 3,0O0,-
900 men-perhaps, indeed, double
that number-fully equipped and
ready to be thrown into new battle
Of Europe. The completion of the
railroads between the Taurus noun
tains and the Persian frontier
which roads have already been under
for some years-will
make the problem Of the transporta-
lion of these troops to any European
.heater one of simple solution.
We may, then, sum up the situa-
lion as it will exist twenty years after
The close of the present war some
what as follows, provided the allies
