GREAT WAR WORK OF PIGEONS
ON BATTLEFIELDS AND THE SEA

specked with blood, it's tail feathers
shot away, and one of it's wings wound
eo. The commanding officer read the
message, the destroyer was rushed at
Iull speed to the place indicated. and
witnln three-quarters of an hour from
the time that the pigeon was sent off,
the officers and crew Of the patrol were
picheu up where they clung to the
wreckage.
Spy With Pigeons.
An American at Liege, In writing of
the German advance, told this Incl
dent:
AS | returned to the city, walking
along the River Meuse, 1 saw one who.
obllvious Of war and it's alarms. was
dangling his legs over the water and
peacefully fishing. The battle in the
air, which he must have witnessed.
had not moved him. The certainty that
the Germans were only a few miles
away had not concerned him. He
smoked MS pipe and placidly cast his
line. 1t was soothing to overstrained
nerves TO see that chap, but it was
only a few hours later that I learned
German spy had been arrested as he
posed as fisherman, with a creel full
OF carrier pigeons"
Another story reads:
II the cOWl, habit and tonsure that
mark the monk a young man told his
oeads aboard the train bound for Ant
"erp. And a woman, hardly more
than girl, kept her eyes fastened on
the man of prayers. She studied on
the devotion with which his fingers
sllpped from decade to decade of the
long, well-worn rosary that hung from
the clncture about his waist. But, al
though his lips appeared to move in
humble supplication, the woman saw
that he had failed to kiss the cross.
Inc lapse was significant.
Spy! the girl hisSed into the face
OF the alleged ascetic. In an instant
two guards had seized the man and
rushed him down the train corridor.
Ihe woman examined the small wicker
basket behind in the seat Lifting the
lid, she found three pigeons
Get German Pigeons.
A news dispatch briefly summarized
such find thus:
A German trawler was captured by
British warship near the Orkney
islands to the north of Scotland. She
is believed to have been engaged in
spying, as carrier pigeons were found
on board"
Reference has already been made to
the number Of messages carried back
to the French lines by carrier pigeons
in the defense of Verdun. A pigeon
captured by the French conveyed this
information:
The rolling fire of the enemy with
guns of the heaviest caliber is such
that sectors S., c., and II. are to
great extent leveled. The garrison, in
Guiding that of sector ", is disorgan-
lied completely. Some of it has been
obliged to fall back on the Eighty-third
and Ninety-eighth regiments, which
also had to retire.
Sector V. (von Raun's) was sub
jected to such fire that its observation
post was put out of order. All sorties
are being bombarded and one is occu-
pied constantly in replacing them.
"The battalion asks its immediate

BRECHT."
carrier pigeons tell headquarters of
the progress of battle. Here is a
typical report when the French army
fought along the Aisne:
ut Immediately appeared that the
destruction Of the German defense
had been accomplished with as much
success as could be hoped for in so
dlmcult country. By 7:3O a. m. we
learned by carrier pigeon and other
means that the Chateau de la Motto on
the French left near Allemant had
been carried, and that at the center
Malmalson Fort was taken. At 8 :45
Allemant village had been occupied,
the prisoners numbered a thousand,
ana the French assault troops were ad-
vancing across the central plateau to-
Ward VaudessOn and Mont Parnasse
quarry. At 80 the news was that
they were at the north of Hill 173, the
further spur Of Malmaison plateau,
and in quarry 22O yards west Of the
fort BY 2:45 p. m. the villages Of
ChavlgnOn and VaudessOn, with sew
eral neighboring quarries lying on the
northern edge Of the Aisne hills, had
been occupied. Chavignon was the
furthest point contemplated in the
plan and represented an advance Of
one and one-half miles made in the
face of the best remaining troops OF
the German empire"
Aided by camoufIage.
While many carrier pigeons changed
their habits of spiraling, finding 1T a
dangerous practice and learned to fly
back and then forward at an altitude
comparatively low, camoufiage aided
birds considerably in getting back to
their loft carrying with them messages
from troops in front. At Fort VauX,
princes army had special group of
men shooting down carrier pigeons as
they left the fort.
And another story Of Verdun. 1t
was at ThiaumOnt, sixteen times
! taken, lost and retaken. Wireless and
telephones had long ceased to exist.
No human being could cross the ter
rain. The commandant was In des-
perate need of communicating with
the rear. Suddenly the glasses re-
vealed a dog, crouching on its belly,
crawling through the flashes, and in
a moment Of temporary lull leaping
forward. On it's back was a pannier.
Nearer and nearer the dog came, and
prayers were involuntarily offered as
| the beast flattened out here and there
| in the debris for shelter. Another lull
and the dog leaped forward and at
last it scampered into ThiaumOnt with
the pigeons safe in the pannier. On
the dogs collar was this message :
"We relieve you by attack on Froid-
terre, 8 p. M"
"Stop the German battery on our
left Here are the elements for point.
| ing was the written message Of the
commandant sent back by one Of the
pigeons. Another momentary lull and
the pigeon IS released. Dog and pig
con. faithful and distinguished friends
Of man, have done their work to save
J civilization.
