Raising Pigeons for War.

From the Portland Oreg0nian.
War promises to change the industry
OF raising squads" to the production
OF full-fedged birds which even the
refinements of modern communication
have not wholly superseded. The fact
that breeders OF homing pigeons on
the Pacific coast are now engaged in
producing these necessities shows how
manifold are the needs of an army.
In addition to the birds themselves,
trainers have been required for them,
and these have been enlisted in a special
branch Of the Signal Corps. The carrier
pigeon Is employed at points where
communication between the front line
trench and the rear must be maintained
at all costs. The telephone and able
wireless are employed whenever posi-

Smiling Pat" in his last battle, en-
countered nine German airplanes at a
height of 10000 feet. He engaged
four of them and does not hesitate TO
admit that he thought his time nao

brought his big machine down to s.ooo

height a bullet fired from one of the
Huns airships struck the daring lieu-

British Have Borne Burden.

There is another element to be con-
sidered. Up to the end of the active
stage of the Verdun fighting the bur-
den of the war and the weight of the
great losses were borne by the
French. But since that moment it has
been the British who have paid the
higher costs. British casualties last
year were above a million, while the
French lost in their one great strug-
gle. which turned out so badly, Nj
velle's assault on the Aisne and the
subsequent counter offensive of the
@0-'---"~- y, the Chemin -des-Dames.
in which the French won. rather less
thah $50 900 and probably not much
more than another 10000 in the
other fighting of the year.
Thus. with smaller army to begin
with. having displayed lack o< a~-
erry last year in applying the draft,
although this consideration is con-
ceivably open to question. having lost
1850. 900 in casualties in two years out
of an army smaller than the French.
and having. somewhat recklessla, yet,
in part, necessarily, scattered their
divisions in the colonies and side

with little but local reserves. in linn
tied numbers. when the Germans at
tackled them in March.

Factors Favoring Allies.

By contrast, certain factors have been
made use of which must materially re-
duce the chances of any great initial
German success. The first is the allied
decision in favor of single command
and the second is the presence Of the
allied strategic reserve within reach of
the danger point. 1t is well to recall
exactly what happened two months ago
to appreciate the meaning of these new
factors.
French and British general stats BE-

Germans Can Strike Again.

Beyond all question the German can
strike again with little less than one
hundred divisions. many of them appear
ing in the campaign for the first time.
Certainly some of the divisions used in
March have been repaired and sent to
quiet sectors, just as our American
troops have been sent to similar sectors.
and the divisions released have been
brought to Picardy. AS for guns and
munitions. the German has had time
to make good his expenditure OF muni-
tions. replace worn-out guns and is
bound to be just as dangerous on the
artillery side as he was when he at
tackled before.
There is another aspect to be con-
sidered. The Germans are now less than
ten miles from Amiens and even in their
secondary attack at the Lys. which
opened on April 9. when the Portuguese
divisions were routed, the advance was
to depth of more than ten miles. We're
the Germans as successful in their next
attack before Amiens as they were at
Armentieres. Amiens would go and with
1t some of the most important lines OF
communication left to the allies. or
course, If there were anything like the
progress made in the attack of March Il
the British and French would be sep
arated and the British rolled back to the
north.

LIVE STOCK HANDLERS
AWAIT EASTERN WORD

live stock handlers at the stock yards,
who went on strike yesterday. re-
manned in session until after mid
night this morning in expectation of
an answer from eastern officials of
the Union Stock Yards and Transit
Company to their demands for $15 a
month increase in wages. Efforts at
mediation had resulted in a submis-
sion to eastern officials of the mems
demands. After adjourning until later
today the men said they had been
notified the engineers and f1remen's
unions would join them when called
upon.
Clerks, superintendents and others
were trying today to handle the $4,000
hogs. 1i.o6o cattle and 5000 sheep
Congestion at tha stock yards was
not yet serious. It was reported. but
some degree Of interference with the
nations meat supply was looked for
II the strike were not settled within
few days. 1t appeared that by to-
morrow or Saturday the volume of
live stock on hand might be too large
for the volunteer workers to handle
without serious interference with
buying and selling. Practically no
loading OF stock for shipment was GO
ing on today.
It was expected Washington would
