monty used for training these messen-
ger birds. They soon learn that when
this white flag is raised over their lofts
they are to stay away for exercise, and
when the flag comes down they may
return for their food. On some fields,
when the birds stray a considerable
distance from their loft, they are called
back by the rafting of a tin pan.
To help the pigeons recognize their
cotes the latter are painted In yellow
and white stripes. No matter where a
pigeon from Carruthers field is taken
thereafter or in what direction. it will
not alight on any building except its
own loft, which means. of course. that
wherever the pigeons go. the loft from
which they were trained goes with
them. 1t is only recently that the use
of pigeons as messengers has been at
tempted from airplanes. The birds
when used for this purpose are carried
in baskets in the fuselage and great
care must be exercised in releasing
them to prevent the propeller blades
from striking them The aviators or
balloonists who handle them also have
to be instructed in the manner In
which they release the birds for fight.
Dropping the birds at high attitudes
also requires special forms of training
for the birds and instruction for the
aviator.

Element in Certain Animals.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, March 19.-Discovery
by Prof. Rudolf Fischil of Prague of'a
new remedy for combating hemorrhage
is announced by the Journal OF the
Austrian Apothecarfes' Association. The
remedy is made from a hitherto un.
known element in the lung tissue OF
certain animals. 1t is a reddish brown
powder which dissolves in water into .
foaming. Shiny substance.
After a series of experiments with
animals 1t has been employed on hue
man beings. It is reported to stop
quickly the most dangerous hemOr-

kidneys and brain substance. and to b
especially valuable in the case of the
so-called haemophiles. persons whose
blood is deficient in coagulable elements
and for whom the slightest cut means
serious and possibly fatal hemorrhage.

ALLY COOPERATION

(Correspondeuce Of The Sunday Star
and the Chicago Daily News.)

(Correspondence Of The Sunday Star
and the Chicago Daily News)
MOSCOW, Russia. April 16.-How can
the allies use present-day Russia in
winning the world war? First, they
must decide whether the soviet gov
eminent is really power in RUSSIA
then, if such is the case. they must De-
gin immediate cooperation with 1t,
which could be done either with or
without actual official recognition.
Here are the soviet's reasons for ex-
pecting allied cooperation: President
Wilson, speaking with reference to
Japan's question whether in the event
that Russia signed a separate peace
with Germany the allies would con-
slider Russia neutral or an enemy, de-
clared that America continued to re-
gard Russia neither as neutral nor as
An enemy, but as an ally. The soviet
government feels that it has the sup
port of the majority Of the Russian
people Therefore, IL America contin-
ues to regard Russia as an ally she
should cooperate with her ally's gov
eminent.
Further, Germany. the allies enemy.
win probably soon again become soan;t the
AssSsseess
the soviet government as having SUM-
cient power to sign peace in the name
Of great Russia. The soviet has now
been in undisputed power for five
months without serious armed oppose
ton except in the Ukraine, where the
reactionary rada, mortgaged to Ger
many, is bolstered up by German dtvf-
sions. The soviet elements in the
Ukraine are conducting an active guer-
rilla warfare against the German and
rada troops. They retook Odessa. The
authority of the Russian soviet extends
from Petrograd to Vladivostok and
from Archangel to Baku. Only Ger
man or Japanese bayonets will prevent
this soviet power from lasting many
months more.
The soviet signed what all of Russia
considers q shameful and humilfating
peace and evacuated the ancient CAPT.
tai, and yet the soviet remains In pow
er. The soviet offers to undergo any
test the allies wish to suggest in order
to demonstrate its good faith. To US in

his renunciation of the throne for his
morganatic children and to make them
