MISS CLEO HoBSoN OF LOS AN
GELES WRITES ON THE
HAGAN RECITAL.

Editor Colorado Statesman
Though l am not fully restored to
health vet | could not resist the temp
tation of going to hear Miss Helen r..
Hagan in her piano recital at the
Zion A. NJ E. Church, Sept 3rd, and
being q lover of music as well as
student in the art of piano playing, l
feel it duty to say. a word on this
member of our race, who besides be
ing a wonderful artist is credit to
the American nation. | have heard
many artists of the piano, including
such masters as Paderewskl, Holt
man. etc. and in my humble opinion
think Miss Hagan not only ranks with
them, but merits everything of the
press comments. Unaffected and ap-
parently void of that nervousness
which seems to attach TO most per-
formers, she goes about her WORK
with comparative ease, and apart from
her training evinces an original eX-
preston which finds great apprecia-
ton in her audience.
Denver musicians-teachers ana
pupils-should not fail to hear this
pianist, as her performance will lend
inspiration to intending artists, offer
encouragement to- musical aspirants,
and strengthen the propaganda of uni
versal democracy for which our coun-
try is now giving her best and most,
as in her being selected as one of the
Miss Hagan is helping to suppress
and abolish the wrongs we have been
subjected to as race by her talent.
Thanking you, Editor.
Yours very truly,

BIRDS ARE VALUED
Carrier Pigeons Do Excellent
Service for Army.
Many Now Being Trained at the Uni
Verslty Of Wisconsin Under the
Direction Of the Government
Made Splendid Record.

Carrier pigeons for the army are
now being trained at the University of
Wisconsin, and special experiments
with the birds are being carried on
under the direction of the government.
This new war work has been taken
up under the direction of Prof. L. ].
Cole, head of the department of ex-
perimental breeding.
Twenty-Five young pigeons have
been received from the signal corps
for use in flying Investigations, and
II old birds for breeding purposes
have been donated by a Cleveland
pigeon fancier.
Lieut.. w. l.. Butler of the central
department of the signal corps at Chi
cago and Maj Frank Griffin of the
Washington office were at the univer-
sity recently making arrangements for
the work.
A warning not to shoot pigeons has
been issued by the bureau of infOrma-
tion at Washington on account of the
large number of homing pigeons which
are being trained in various parts of
the country. Now that the training is
also being carried on in Wisconsin, the
people of that state are being warned
not to shoot pigeons, and If any bird
is found bearing the label ~. S. A.
o. 49," the mark borne by all govern
ment pigeons, it should be reported to
the chief signal officer at Washington.
In the present war homing pigeons
play a large part in the carrying Of
important messages, because they can
fly home when telephones, telegraph
and wireless have been destroyed, and
are rarely hit by gunfire.
The process of training a pigeon for
military purposes consists in first TAX
ing it about 1000 yards from home and
loosing it so that it can fly back; then
the distance is increased and the di-
rection changed as the training pro-
crosses.
The average speed of a homing
pigeon is from l 400 TO LOO yards
minute, although many make much
higher speed than this. Important
messages in the army are usually sent
by two birds in orderto insure safe
delivery and but few messages are lost.
A small aluminium container is

messages, or else the bits of paper are
tied directly on the legs.
Stories are recorded daily in the
war of life-saving feats accomplished
by homing pigeons. A crew of a YES
sci struck by submarine recently had
just time to free a homing pigeon be-
fore the ship sunk. Although the bird
was wounded by shots from the Ger
man submarine, it flew to another
craft II miles away and saved the
lives of the men fioundering about in
the water
Men are in great demand in the
homing pigeon operator branch of the
signal service. No man of draft age
can be inducted into this service, but
there is call for men below twenty
one and over thirty years of age for
this work.

In Germany iron is so scarce thaf

distribution of war honors. At least,
such a condition is strongly indicated
by souvenir from a battlefield that
has been received in this country. 1t
