THE PIGEON

One of the things that Pershing found out in France was that of all the means relied upon for intercommunication in the war zone-telephone, wireless, airplanes, semaphore, rockets, messengers, the pigeon has proved the most dependable, the surest and most reliable, and is accounted by the French the only means of maintaining a liaison between forces under fire and the only one that can be used under all condi- tions. Telephone lines may be destroyed. visual signals obscured by the smoke and fire, runners killed or wounded, airplanes shot down, but under all conditions the little bird, with its almost invisible body, its swift wings, its keen eye, its retentive memory and indomitable will to home, will find it's way and carry its message home ninety-eight times out of a hundred. lime and time again it has brought relief to forces cut off from other cooperating forces and it's help in the aerial service has been found to be indispensable. Numerous are the cases where these feathered messengers have saved many lives.

THE LOST PROVINCES

Gertrude Atherton of the Vigilantes surely voices a national desire when she declares that America would rather per sonally restore Alsace-Lorraine to France than to cross the Rhine. This feeling has grown to be a passion with both the young and the old of this nation who have studied history and who have that priceless gift ot sentiment in their makeup. In no finer way, they believe, can we pay our debt to France than to restore the lost provinces. Writing along this line, Mrs. Atherton says:
 It is to be hoped that the exigencies of war will permit our men to restore, alone and unaided, Alsace-Lorraine to France. l happen to know this ambition possesses the minds of thousands of our young officers and soldiers, and when our army Is once more a unit, perhaps General Foch will withdraw his own troops from the southeast and enable us to pay our everlasting debt to France Not even the inevitable victory over Germany for which our millions in men and our billions in money are indis- pensable, would give the enlightened DOT ton of this republic such profound and spiritual satisfaction as the established fact that American troops alone had driven the Hun from the soil of fAlsace-Lorraine, made AlsaceL orraine the special gift of the United States to France.
 Tn course of time, if the war goes on long enough-for our once indifferent people now think and talk of little else than the war-this passionate wish will possess the United States from end to end; and if we failed or were not permitted to pay our great historic debt in this concrete fashion to the nation whose brave and ardent sol diers came to our rescue in our darkest hour, we should feel in our new hour of victory that the best was lacking. War IS a gross business. Let us put soul into it if we can.

COUNTY COUNCILS
 OF DEFENSE FORMED

The state council of defense has talk en steps looking to the organization of county councils of defense, as pro vided by the act creating the state council. The board of supervisors of each of the fourteen counties has been invited to furnish list of fourteen names of citizens of their respective counties whose known patriotism and abilities would make them desirable members of these county councils.
 From this list of names submitted the state council will select seven, who are to constitute the county council The law provides that county councils may consist of from three to seven members, and either the chairman on the board of supervisors or a member of the board shall be chairman oI the county council
 The plans of the state council pro vide a further subdivision of the work by the organization by the county councils of community councils. Wherever it is considered advisable, these community councils will be es' tablished, 10 work under the super vision of the county councils.
 It Is expected that the boards Of supervisors will have their reports in the hands of the secretary of the state council before the meeting of the eN- ecutiye committee of the state counci- which will be called by Chairman Ad- dams about August 1.
