DANIELS SENDS

The telegram received last night
from Secretary Daniels says;
Ships, ships and more ships is the
call of the hour. We must have them
to carry our armies to Europe and to
keep our troops and our allies sup
piled with food and munitions. Gen
eral Pershing calls for a bridge of
ships across the Atlantic and that is
what We are bending every effort to
furnish him. We must have more
ships to win the war. We must have
them for the great merchant marine
that will carry Americas commerce
under the American flag to all the
worlds ports after the war.
every vessel that is turned out in
this country counts toward the defeat
of Germany. Every worker in a ship
yard can feel that he is doing a part
toward winning this struggle only less
important than that of the men or
our warships or in the trenches. Let
Americans who are not called for mil

PIGEONS
At DEvES FOR
DUTY IN ARMY
Birds Will Be Used to Garry
Messages at American
Front in France.

Camp Devens. Feb. 1S-Seventy-ive
OF the finest breed of carrier pigeons
will be indicted into service at this
cantonment this week. The new quar-
tiers, large roomy coop, has been
completed and occupies a position in
the rear of divisional headquarters
The birds which will be brought to
Camp Devens will be the pick of the
trained racing pigeons from New
England's finest coops, Lieutenant
Robert Milne of A Ocean street, Dor
chester, one of the most expert and
best known pigeon breeders of the
country, has been placed in charge of
the work of training the birds for war
work.
Under the plan the birds will be
kept in the coop for one month Dur
ing this time they will be allowed to
perch on an extended Shelf, enclosed
by wire netting. In this time the
birds, following their wonderful in
stinct in this regard, will make
close study of the landscape so that
they will know its every identifying
mark.
Meanwhile the roof of the coop will
be painted in the colors of the signal
flags. With these, too, the birds will
familiarize themselves.
At the end of one month the birds
will be freed for the first time. As
they return to the coop they will be
tried on longer flights, and eventually
they will be trained in making flights
of 25 and so miles.

The carrier pigeon is at its best at
the age of six years. For this reason
young birds are being sought. By
the time they are trained they will
at the height of their worth as mes
/ sengers in No Mans Land.
| The peculiar instincts of the pigeon
have never been accounted for. Mere
| ly instinct is the answer to their
adaptabilities for messenger work.
| They are a most sensitive and yet in
telligent type of bird.
| Despite their sensitiveness, however,
it is said that at the front they ac-
lcustom themselves to the noise of the
heavy artillery fire and the screaming
of the shells better than the horse or
mule.
Before being sent into the smoke
of battle the birds are given a trial
near the front line trenches, just as
soldiers are. They are then provided
with respirators which, made of alu
minum and attached to their leg, does
not impede the bird in its flight, but
in case of gas attacks protects it from
the nauseating fumes.
Experiments will be conducted
throughout the country from now on.
AS in everything else Uncle Sam,
with very good reason. expects to
eventually surpass all other countries
in this work. Even little Belgium,
the home of the carrier pigeon, will
finally be surpassed, say Uncle Sans
ieutenants.
Some day in the not far distant fu-
ture these birds will be carrying our
messages over the battle lines of Eu-
rope at the rate of more than a mile
la minute.

chairman of the local committee

Cross organization in Italy A Bel

THE small nations, overwhelmed
by the barbarian, have stronger faith
than ever" he said. This is an ex-
ample to us. To these little nations
have come in aid the great nations in
an outpouring of high idealism of
| justice: The American Red Cross
represents the spirit of humanity
that animates the entire American
people. 1t has given immediate aid
their homes. It works throughout
Italy in harmony with the country's
institutions. 1t intensifies the bonds
of solidarity and sympathy between
the two countries. Out of the awful
| struggle a good has come. Nations
understand each other, draw nearer
together, and strengthen their friendly
relations. The American Red Cross
and the italian Red Cross will work
together in a holy mission of giving

WHO WROTE THEIR
NATIONAL ANTHEM?

The authorship of the British ma
tional anthem furnishes one of those
evergreen subjects of dispute which
delight the soul of individuals whose
joy it is to write letters to the press,
observes a British newspaper.
Probably there will also be con-
f1icting evidences of the question, but
the common opinion now is that Hen
ry Carey, who died in October, 1743,
was the author.
At any rate, Carey sang the song
as his own composition at a dinner
party in CornhilI, while shortly after
wards he approached a publisher with
the manuscript.
1t was not at once accepted, and
seems to have been first sung in pub
lie in 1745-two years after Carey's
death.
