CARRIER PIGEONS ARE
 SERVED TO DIPLOMATS

LONDON.-The most expensive pigeon pie which perhaps has ever been served anywhere was enjoyed by members of the Allied diplomatic colony in Jassy last spring.
 One February afternoon one of the Allied ministers received a crate of fine pigeons. There was no mark to indicate the sender. The pigeons were killed and cooked that evening, and a number of the minister's col leagues, including American Minister Vopicka, had their fill of pigeon pie.
 A week later, a delayed telegram reached the minister who had been host at the dinner. It was from high military officer of his govern ment, directing him as to the dis posal of ''very valuable consign- ment" of carrier pigeons which had been sent him after a long course of training and which were designed to take an important part in certain highly confidential nego, ations then pending

EASTERN EDITOR TELLS OF DO|NGS
 AT METROPOLIS
Editor of Eastern Paper Writes of Stirring Times and Events In
 the East.

The following letter was received recently by Nenanaite from John M. Siddall, editor of the American Magazine, and tells of the happen
 ings in New York city at this time:
 We have been having quite ex- citing times in New York lately. Every other day there have been parades, and when there wasn't parade Ga real honest-to-God sched- uled one) the inhabitants got one up on their own account. Every other person you meet on the street is either in khaki or blue-and the blue is now steadily changing to white, with the advent of hot wealth CT. And this doesn't exclude the women either. A number of them are driving cars for the Women's Service League, doing a kind of messenger service, and I can tell you they look pretty smart in their uniforms. l guess your wife would like to see them. The enthusiasm for the war is high-that's the reason for the parades. And you get corralled on the street and you find yourself buying Thrift Stamps wholesale or giving to the Red Cross or the Salvation Army fund for the soldiers, etc. tell you the feeling Is wonderful. Slackers, conscien- tious objectors, and pro-G Germans are given short shrift these days. And the war spirit is fostered by the presence of British and French wounded soldiers, Australian Tom mics. Many of these men have been talking in the streets and from the steps of the big public buildings, urg- ing recruiting, urging the giving of funds for various war oranizations. urging thrift. And the very latest thing we are now urged to do is to obey the aerial raid warnings Yes, we've come to that The sin ,ing of twelve ships in home waters has brought the war right to Dur shores. And is confidently expected that air raids will be attempted. Already the fiat has gone forth that lights be extinguished in the buildings. confined to the rear of stores, etc. Now New York is dark at night. Sirens have been established that will warn people of an approaching raid and then there will be a mad rush for the cellars. So you see life is pretty exciting in these parts"

THE SOLDIERS CHANCES

Great as the danger and large as the losses in the aggregate, the in- dividual soldier has plenty of chanc- es of coming out of the war un. scathed, or at least not badly in- jured
 Based on the mortality statistics of the Allied armies, a soldiers chances are as follows: :":
 Forty-nine chances of recovering home to one chance of being killed.
 Forty-nine chances frecoverinp from wounds to one chance of dying from them.
 One chance in 800 of losing a limb.
 Will live five years longer because of physical training, is freer from disease in the army than in civil life, and has better medical care at the front than at home.
 In other wars from 10 to 15 mer died from disease to 1 from bullets Tn this war, l man dies from disease to every 10 from bullets.
 For those of our fighting men who do not escape scathless, the govern ment under the soldier and sailor in surance law gives protection to tho wounded and their dependents ant to the families and dependents o. those who make the supreme sacri flee for their country.

The latest system for the treat ment of wounds known as the Car rel system, has been adopted in the Commission hospital with very grati- flying results to both the surgeons and their patients. The system was introduced by very eminent French surgeon, Major Alexis Carrel, of the French army, and is now used the Allied military hospitals with wonderful results. Dr. Carrel came over to this country and was for some time attached to the Rocke- feller Institute of Medical Research, where he demonstrated the working of the system to American surgeons with the result that it was adopted by our government. Dr. de la Vergne who is assisting Dr. David More in the hospital work in this division for the A. E. C., has had the ad- vantage of personally going over the working of the new system with Dr. Carrel at the Rockefeller Institute in New York, and was also present when the demonstrations were made by Dr. Carrel.
 The Carrel system consists of the installation of a solution of hypo- chlorite of soda continuously into the wound while in the process of heal ing. A main rubber tube with sev- eral smaller tubes attached and leading into the different parts of the wound is strapped to the in- jured part and a solution of chlorite of soda is injected to the injured parts every two hours, and when the wound is regularly dressed, every twenty-four hours, there is absolutely no pus found. The new system al lows of the healing of the wound without infection, does away with all the unpleasant features and re- suits such as fever, the gathering nf nfo o1S chn valescence and almost entirely elim- mates pain, swelling and bad odors. The new economic method of dress ing in use in all of the Allied mili- tary hospitals has been adopted in the Commission hospital The long bandanges in use heretofore and which took up much of the surgeons time, is now discarded altogether and towel is used instead to form the covering over the dressing, the ends being held together by clothes pins, instead of safety-pins, as here tofore.
 Besides being of much economic value the work of the surgeon is made much easier and takes up much less of his time. The unfastening
 of the clothes pins lays the affected part bare and the treatment of the
 wound being completed, the ends of the towel are brought together and i fastned as before. The value of such a system in a hospital with a large number of patients is incal- culable.

When Comparison
 Is OdiOus

It is unfair to the memory of the French revolutionists, bloody and cruel as they were, to compare them and their deeds and misdeeds to the Bolshevik reign of terror in Russia In the first place the French revo- lutionists brooked no outside interference with their affairs They kept the French borders inviolate and actually won one of the decisive battles of the world at Nalmy where the Prussians went down to defeat at their hands They shed much blood; innocent blood, and they committed many wild and useless crimes, but in the main they struck and wrought for freedom and the right to govern themselves. The Bol- shevik are merely hired agents of Prussia and they have betrayed their country and their cause to the most autocratc ruler upon the earth today Again, in the reign of ter TOT in France which lasted few months more than year, and which the world has always heretofore referred to with a shud der as the most terrible orgy of blood ex- perienced by any nation not engaged in open warfare, only about two thousand and one hundred persons were executed by the red revolutionists, and of this number about one thousand were killed in the first year of the terror and the other thousand in the last two wild months of the terror. But the Bolshevik demons are killing nearly thou sand persons a week in Russia and have been at it for the past twelve weeks. In the time of the French terror all persons were accorded some kind of a trial. In the Bolshevik terror any form of trial Is un- known Assassination in its most terrible form walks the streets and skulks in houses and haunts prisons and devastates the road side and field and forest. Multiply the cruelty and lust and blood and plunder and grossness and wrong and depravity and bloodthirstineSs of the French terror one thousand and the total of this sum would not begin to represent that nonsrous thing of the Bolshevik in Russia. And in the matter of patriotism and struggle for free dom there can be no comparison at all be- tween the actors in these terrible dramas. The French revolutionists killed for free France; the Bolshevik are throttling Rus sia for greater German autocracy.

Behind the BattLe Line

Of the utmost importance to the indus trial life of the Warren district IS the effort of the Bisbee-Douglas community labor board to secure the consent of the district draft board at Tucson to exempt on indus trial grounds miners and muckers actively employed in the production of copper. Fol lowing the sending of message to the dis trict board outlining the scarcity of labor in the Warren district, the community board conferred Thursday with Julius Krut tschnitt, industrial advisor for the district board. As result Mr. Kruttschnitt bore back to Tucson signed statement from the community board members, supported by signed statement of w. R. Ashurst, United States employment agent at Doug las, that there are all too few skilled crafts men and miners to perform the necessary labor of the district
 It Is the hope of the community board that this representation will have the result of causing the district board to scrutinize each questionnaire coming before it more carefully than otherwise would be the case. and to exempt the men necessary for the production of copper here and in other parts of the state under its jurisdiction.
 Hardly less important than this step was the tentative appointment by the commun- ity board of two women members whose function it shall be to place women work CTS in the less essential industries, reliev- ing men and placing them in a position
