AVIATORS' MASCOT

At an American Air Post in France.
From the G. q. down to "FuZ-
Zy," who would rather have stood court
martial, no one wanted to leave "Jazz'
behind. So there was no end Of indig-
nation when the order arrived at a Ger
tain American port that no animals

claim exemption from remaining in

he was no earthly use. But Jazz" did
go aboard the transport, and later an
English railway train, then another
ship and finally French train until
he arrived with the squadron at Ameri-
cas- biggest air post in France. There
saw him today. appreciatively licking
devoted "Fuzzys" hand.
"Jaxx" 10 Mascot Goat.
1t is not difficult to guess that Jazz"
which may or may not be his real
name. is the mascot OF TX" squadron
whom pilots and mechanics alike ac-
cepted as talisman for good AT some
training camp back home. This office
he had performed with exceptional
skill from the day Fuzzy" had permit
ted him to butt In" at the mechanics
mess.
Fuzzy" and some OF his pals slipped
the goat into sack and laid him down
among the cold storage meat and when
the time came helped to load the ship,
taking care that the sack of live goat
did not get into the refrigerator. When

was opened and Jazz crawled out
blinking.
Even then Fuzzy" was cautious. For
the first days he did not permit the
animal to promenade Unfortunately,
but subjected to repeating scrubbings,
following with perfume, toilet water
and talcum powder. So when jazz"
was rbally discovered he smelt, but
more like a barber shop than goat.
The ships officers appreciated the joke
and so did every one else and soon
Jazz" became a favorite on deck. Re-
peatedly shampooed and perfumed,
wearing a life preserver. he moved
about like good sailor. But there
were less joyful days ahead Of him.
He did not exactly set foot on Eng
lish soil like his friends. He went
ashore at an unmentionable port in a
kit bag. In this he lay with the other
bags, surrounded by n screen OF men.
Jazz" was uncomfortable and said so
in his goat way. but before he had ut
tered a full syllable his friends set up
a cheer which drowned his voice.
This happened again and again. The
first time British transport officers at
the port politely disregarded the Amer
leans demonstrations, but after the
third time one OF them exclaimed
Extraordinary! these Americans.
Wonderful spirit"
And little later when the men burst
into an excessively loud hurrah to an

British colonel came over to inquire of

State Fuel Administrator
Denies Report Of Surplus

Helena, Feb. State Fuel Admin
istrator Swindlehurst is wondering
where the Great Falls jobbers will find
that surplus coal for shipment to
North Dakota and Washington. that
they have advised the national fuel
administration is available. Figures
he obtained from the mines and the
railroads show that instead of Montana
having a surplus, 1t annually produced
100000 tons less of coal than are re-
quired for its own needs.
The word was sent to Washington by
the jobbers that the Bear Creek field
alone could export 1900 tons Of coal
daily. The records show that the
average daily production Of the Bear
Creek mines last year was only 1850
tons. For the week ending January
&c, the Bear Creek mines shipped ia
Montana points 11.700 tons of coal.

Argentina Plans Break
With Germany for Sure

Buenos Aires, Feb. President
1rigoyen had long conference today
with the ministers of war and foreign
relations in regard to the sinking of
the Argentine steamship Ministro r.
riendo. 1t was officially announced
that no reply had been received from
the military attaches in Berlin and
Vienna who have been recalled, but
the extremely long conferences and
the absolute reserve of all officials
concerned leads to the belief in po-
litical circles that the government has
news which compels grave delibera-
ton.
1t is believed by persons who have
exceptional means of ascertaining the
trend of political affairs that the Ar
gentine government this time Is plan
ming an actual breaking of relations
with Germany, but they believe that
the necessary preliminaries in the
cabinet and the congress will occupy
about a month.

ExoNERATE HERO !
FOR MAIL Theft
One Of Wars ROmances Ends
With Trial in High
Court of Paris

Paris, Feb 2.--One of the STIR
ring romances OF the war had melan-
choly ending in one Of the criminal
courts of Paris a few days ago, when
Pierre Giraud, one Of the heroes Of
Charleroi. was sentenced to five years
imprisonment for purloining letters
containing money and valuables to the
amount OF more than 100000 frances.
The execution of the sentence was sus-
pended on the recommendation Of the
jury.
Giraud, under military age, enlisted
at the outbreak Of the war and was in
the disaster at Charleroi. Hit by an
explosive bullet. he lay on the field
three days and three nights before he
was picked up by a Belgian manufac-
turer who went over the field with a
motor car seeking for overlooked
wounded.
In Love With Nurse.
Taken to n hospital in Charleroi. he
was nursed by the daughter Of the man
who saved him. Later she aided
him to escape. Helping him into one
of the collins. provided for the dead
of the hospital, she got him into the
morgue, where he remained ten hours
before chance was found to'transfer
him In wheelbarrow to the home of
the girls father.
His hiding place was discovered
through a denunciation, but Giraud es-
capped on crutches before the Germans
could get him. and, after various vicis-
situdes, reached the frontier of Holland
| from whence he returned to France by
way Of England. His nurse followed
him and their adventure developed
into a marriage as soon as Giraud's
wound was healed.

we have had considerable measles,
pected in a camp of this size, and
the death rate is not considered very
high OF course, we have lost some
men, but that could only be expected.
Two men of my command have died
from pneumonia, ad one from a
ruptured blood vessel.
THE statistics from all the di-
vision camps show that ours is an
average camp, if not a little above.
So you may say to the people that
their sons are being well cared for
and we are all working to SO train
ourselves mentally, physically and
spiritually as to be able to meet the
Germans and to overcome them.
"Of course, we have hardships,
but war is a hard game, and for one
to play the game well, he must be
seasoned and so hardened that he
can endure punishment, and be skill
ed that he will be able to Guido his
enemy 1t is not sympathy that we
desire, but it is good, old, whole
some encouragement. We want to
know that the people of Arkansas
are backing us, not in sentimental
way, much, but backing us whole
heartedly and giving us encourage
ment so that we may meet the
hardships cheerfully and master
them"
Arkansas has about 1000 troops
at Camp Beauregard, and it is graft
flying to the relatives of these men
to know the conditions there are not
so bad as has been reported in some
quarters.
One way in which many citizens
of Arkansas may assist in the con-
servation of resources is to aid in
the campaign for the prevention of
the great economic waste due to the
slaughter of great quantities of live
stock by the railroads.
Officials statistics by the railroads
show that during the year 1916. the
railroads of Arkansas killed more
that half a million dollars worth of
SUCK, IlCluulllS tHOuSu meat dHiifldlS
to feed an army of 433,300 soldiers
for one week.
During the year, there were killed
in Arkansas a total of 1852 ami
mails, including S75 horses and mules,
5000 cattle, 1910 hogs, and 327
sheep and goats. The cattle weighed
100000 pounds, and were worth
1857 900; the hogs weighed 1,096,500
pounds and were worth $175.0 900:
the sheep and goats weighed 65,400
pounds, and were worth $4,000.
This made a total of 1921 800 pounds
valued at approximately $544,000.
Much of this waste is due to care
lessness in permitting stock to run
at large 1t is impossible for rail
way men to avoid striking all the
animals, and when they are given
the limit of the right of way, and
more stringent stock laws are neces-
sary to remedy the evil, and greater
cooperation on the part of the
people.
