DON'T SHOOT PIGEONS

Pigeons may be an excellent substi-
tute for beef, but they should not be
killed Unfortunately. Hunters es-
pecially are urged not to shoot these
birds in the air, for they may be hon.
ing pigeons being trained in many
parts of the country by the Signal
Corps of the United States Army to
carry messages across the battle
fields.
The pigeon section of the Signal
Corps buys mature homers having
satisfactory pedigrees, breeds them
and trains the young birds, as the
homing instinct of the old birds is al
ready established and can not be
changed. Only the young birds thus
trained can be used for military COM
munications They are one of the
surest means of conveying word across
the battlefields. Persons desiring to
furnish the War Department with
homing pigeons should apply TO the
chief Signal Corps officer of the near
est contonment.

To Hold Conference over Raise

Chairman Chamberlain, Of the Sen

from a vacation today, was TO see Sec
refarv Baker early as TO draft extern
sion plans.
Bakers program already presented
IN Chairman Dent, of the House Com
mittee. is understood TO contemplate
a request from Congress for an extern
sion from Is or 20 years up to 80 or
sc wears. Providing the lower limit
is set at 10, there will likely be de-
termined effort in Congress TO make 1t
%. AS for the upper limit, it appears
there will be an effort TO extend 1t to
AT least 40, though it is by no means
certain that Congress finally Will do
other than what the War Department
asks. The sole announcement from
Secretary Baker on the subject is that
his proposal does not run from ~ 10
40 and that he will present his plan
10 Congress next week, so that the
committees can start work before the
full membership returns.

MINERS NOW WORK
ON FUNERAL DAYS

In the anthracite fields the practice
that has been in vogue for many years
of suspending work on the day of the
funeral of a fellow workman has been
stopped by agreement between opera
tors and miners during the progress
of the war. Instead of the usual prac-
tice the miners will select a commit
tee of six to represent them, and the
company is to pay the days wages of
the six absentees.
In addition to this the companies
agree to pay TO the nearest heirs the
sum of $3.50 over and above the COM
pensation provided by law. This ac-
ton has been taken in order that
there shall be no falling off of produc-
ton at a time when the country's
welfare depends upon coal production.

Catarrah is a local disease, greatly in

Medicine is taken internally and acts
through the blood on the mucuous sur

Medicine was prescribed by one of the
best physicians in this country for
years. 1t is composed of some of the
best tonics known, combined with
some of the best blood purifiers. The

POLLUTED FRANCE.

The Huns are at their old, familiar
work In their forced retreat from
the Marine they have repeated the or
gies of devastation and pollution with
which they celebrated their retreat
from the Somme last year. Nothing,
not even personal treachery and
cruelty inflicted by the Huns in IN
fair fight, seems 10 make such an i'm
preston on the American troops as
the evidence OF vandalism they find
everywhere on their advance.
A recent dispatch tells OF character
fstic conditions found in Chateau
Thierry:
These houses were magnihcently
furnished. the walls hung with costly
tapestries and admirable pictures. To-
day there is nothing that has not been
destroyed The tapestries have been
hacked 10 pieces, the pictures slit from
corner to corner. the leather and other
chair coverings have been ripped and
all the delicate marqueterie and the ir-
replacable examples OF craftsmanship
Of past centuries have been smashed.
There is not a mirror which has
not been broken. and the glass and
china flung at them lie in fragments
before them.
THE costly carpets have been soil
ed and rent in every possible way and
inkpots flung at the silken papers on
the walls. This vengeful fury has
been carried even to the extent of
smashing nurseries and doll houses.
The fashion in which beds and
rooms have been defiled is difficult OF
description II would seem the work
OF lunatics."
The Americans i'm France now know
more clearly than ever what they are
fighting for. They have long heard
of such wickedness and bestiality, but
now they have seen il with their own
eyes. They realize that they are lit
orally lighting to redeem polluted
France from the clutches of barbar-
ism. and lighting no less to save their
own country and all the civilized
world from the same fate.

FRENCH AND SPANISH.

With the disappearance of German
from our institutions of learning, and
with the close association with the
French which our foreign expedition
entails. has come a tremendous boom
in the study of French. At home as
well as abroad. civilians as well as sol
diers are pouring over French phrase
books and grammars. People who
used TO know a little French years
ago are getting out their old text
books or borrowing charming French
stories from the libraries.
Hand in hand with this study should
go the study of Spanish. For several
years before the war our trade with
South America and our mutual under
standing with its people had been
Quickened From now on. our inter-
course with our southern neighbors
will be greatly increased. We need to
know their language
The knowledge of French will great

ATTACKS
OF SUBMARINES
IN NORTH SEA
English Seamen Tell Stories of Mar
row Escapes by Vessels from I'm
dersea Murderers-Even Sailing
Ships Sometimes Best Submarines
in Fight for Existence.
-W.S.S.-
(By Associated Press


London, April 30 (By mail)-In the
weekly return showing the number OF
British merchant vessels attacked by
submarines occurs the phrase British
merchant vessel unsuccessfully at
tackled" The admiralty records show
that hidden away in that phrase is
many a story of gallant seamanship.
During the month from March 10
TO April Is of this year 60 British
vessels were attacked unsuccessfully
by U-boats.
The submarine which attacks de-
fensively armed merchantmen has no
longer "sure thing" During the
past month there were several cases
in which even two U-boats were un-.
successful in an attack on a single
steamar. There are several cases,
also, in which the steamer completely
turned the tables on the German and
sent him to the bottom instead.
Even sailing ships frequently give
a good account of themselves against
the submarine, although in the ma
ture Of things they are much less easy
to maneuver than a ship with steam
POWER. The following is one such case
reported to the admiralty:
"A sailing ship was proceeding leis-
urely on her course when the lookout
sighted a submarine on the starboard
quarter. She lay quiet until the u
boat came within range, and then
opened fire. The gun crew knew their
business, for they soon found the tar
get, and out of thirteen shots eight
! direct hits were scored. The U-boat
which had been vainly twisting and
! turning to get out Of range, sudden
ly went down by the bows, and hel
stern stood clear Of the water fol-
nearly half minute. Then she divet
perpendicularly, and came up agar
at an angle of thirty degrees above
the water. For a short space Of time
she remained in this position and ther
! disappeared like stone"
Early one afternoon the captain Of
a steamer in ballast saw the track OF
a torpedo coming direct for his ship
BY "A quick swing he succeeded II
avoiding it. Then the U-boat came ou'

oi the water and opened fire, one OF
his shells piercing the deck and
wrecking the second cooks cabin. The
steamer replied valiantly and the en-
counter continued for four hours, the
st ,amer going at top speed all the
tine and keeping the submarine dead
artern. A shot from the steamer
struck the submarine amidships but
failed to do sufficient injury to force
the German to discontinue the action.
But after four hours, the steamer got
a shell appeared to burst close to the
U-boat's PROV, after which the enemy
quit the chase.
In another attack, which was sue
cessfully beaten off, the merchant
mans eunners were handicapped ow-
ing to the deck giving away under the
gun early in the action. Every time
the gun kicked the platform under 1t
jumped The man who was sighting
it was injured, but the crew continued
firing and eventually forced the sub
marine to discontinue the action. One
of the first shots from the submarine
broke the wireless aerials of the ship
but the wireless operator repaired the
damage under fire and got message
through to the nearest British de-
strOYers.
