HOMING PIGEONS USEFUL
IN TRAGIC MOMENTS

LONDON, April 11.-Instances in
which homing pigeons that have been
carefully trained have been the means
of saving life and of bringing assis-
lance in case of urgent need are cited
by the authorities as warnings against
careless shooting of the birds
Captain Thomas Crisp, who died at
the wheel of his vessel under fire from
a German submarine, lived long enough
to send a message by pigeon and the
crew eventually were saved.
The Cordova daily times., 1918-04-11

On another occasion hydroairplane
got into difficulties in stormy weather
and it was feared all lives would be
lost. A pigeon was sent out with
message for help and, in face of a
fierce wind, the bird managed to make
its way home. 1t died from exhaus-
ton on arrival but it's message had
been delivered, help was sent and the
crew saved

Induction Method Appeals to
Those Who Can No Longer.
Enlist in Army

Various counties continue to volun-
tarily induct men into the national
army. Cass county this week sent
three men to Fort Leavenworth for
service in the land division Of the
signal corps and five to Ft. Riley,
Kans., for service in the medical Of
ficers' training school. Nelson sent
one man to Ft. Leavenworth; Ransom
county IL men to Vancouver barracks,
for the engineer corps, and Towner
county one man to Camp Sewer,
Greenville, S. c., for enlistment as q
bricklayer.
The period allotted for the first
draft expires Feb. 10, after which date
any registrant not held for service
may be voluntarily inducted into any
branch of the service for which he is
best fitted. The Burleigh county
board has passed on physical examin-
alton more than enough men to supply
the % registrants due on its first
draft. Advices received Thursday are
to the effect that counties which sent
men to Camp Stevens, Ore, on the
five per cent call made early this year
will receive credit for such men on
the first draft. aBurleigh county is
thus credited with 1S.

ADG11RAl GEQ. RATEY

Washington, D. c., Feb. S.-With
the total abandonment of heatless
Mondays throughout the states south
of Virginia today, fuel administration
officials were hopeful the continued
warm weather and improvement in
railroad traffic would permit relaxa-
ton of the order all over the United
States after next Monday.
AS Saturday will be observed gen.
orally as a half holiday, and as next
Tuesday is Lincoln's anniversary there
will be three and one-half day shut
down. Officials believe this will go
far toward relieving the situation.
The original program called for the
last heatless day on March 25.
The states affected are North and
South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana.
It was announced also that in all
other states in which the order is
operative fuel may be purchased on
future Mondays to heat and light lofts
and workshops occupied by members
of the International Allied Garment
Workers union.

Washington, D. c., Feb. S.-Favor-
able report on the war department s
bill amending the selective draft law
to- require registration of men as they
reach 21 years and basing quotas on
the number of men in class one in
stead Of on state populations, was
unanimously ordered today by the SEN
ate military committee.
The proposal to exempt men as they
reach 81 years if they have not been
drafted, which was opposed by Pro.

not included in the bill. ..
An amendment proposed by Senat:r
New of Indiana to require registra-

also was rejected.

Another bill favorably reported,
which affects the draft, would author.

DRAFT R0ARD HAS
BUSY WEEK; ONLY
.28 MEN TO DODGE

I'lrleigh county has only % more
men to send to Camp Dodge to com.
plete its first quota. Doubts as to
whether the county would receive
credit for IS men recently sent to
Camp Stevens have been dispelled.
The local board headquarters, post
office building, is busy place these
days. The board is engaged in hold.
ing physical examinations. These
commenced Tuesday morning and that
day and Wednesday So men were Civ.
en- this test Thursdays number has
not been announced, but it will run in
the neighborhood of 40. The report
will be made tomorrow, and the diff
ferent candidates for the army will be
told of their success. 1t is stated that
the number found deficient for various
physical troubles will run in the neigh
borhood of Is per cent.
No official notice has yet been re.
cetved concerning the entrainment Of
the balance of the Burleigh quota for
Camp Dodge, and for this reason it is
possible Burleigh county may not be
asked for her deferred quota on the
c3rd, as stated in the press dispatch
es a few days ago. There are but %
men to be sent from this county, the
county having just received credit for
IS men sent to Camp Stevens in De-
cember.
Examinations will be further held
on the 9th, 18th and 14th. The daily
grind for DR.. Stackhouse, examining
physician in chief, and his associates,
Sheriff French, Auditor Flaherty, and
G.. B. Allen, is from 9 a. M. to mid
night.
In addition to the local examina-
tions, SO of Burleigh county regis
trants will take their physical examin-
alton before advisory boards scattered
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

American soldiers, as their trans
port, the Tuscania,s wounded mortally
BY a German torpedo, frank beneath
the waves, faced death l. eroically. To
N'e'r calm behaviorland skillful work
of British destroyers and trawlers is
due the fact that all but 1O1 of the
passengers and crew were saved. or

that many were members of the crew,
The bodies of a. of the missing
American soldiers already have been
washed upon the coast of northern
Ireland. Positive Identification, how
ever, is believed remote, reports say,
because the tags the soldiers wore
had not been provided with numbers
or other information. All will be
buried in one grave.

When the Tuscania was struck by

diers went calmly to their posts. AS

German guns were ssilenced when they
attempted to reply, American gun
ners succeeded in dispensing large
body of German batteries, and inflict.

German efforts against the French
lines at Verdun and in Alsace are
growing stronger. Infantry attacks
have taken the place of raids, but the
latest German attempts were repulsed
with loss by the French northeast of
Verdun. Small raids and the usual
artillery actions have occurred on the
British front.
In Italy the artillery activity has
