A good deal has been written
about the various animals that took
part in the war, especially the dogs.
/ That is quite right, for they we're
very brave indeed. But this story
z is going to be about some other
soldiers that helped our victory
along, in the air and under the
water.
First let us hear about Cher Ami,
soldier pigeon that saved the
lost batilion and is the only bird
in the American army wearing the
Distinguished Service Cross. Cher
Ami lost his left leg and a part OF
the plumage from his breast in
action. ~ tz
The "Lost Batilion" was cut off
I in the ~Argonne forest, and no one
knew where it was. A message was
tied to Cher Ami's left leg and he
was tossed into the air. Small as
he is, he did not escape the eyes OF
the Germans. for he was often fired
at during his journey. One bullet
carried away his feathers and
another took his left leg below the
joint, but he reached the American
lines with the message still hanging
to his bleeding limb.
Airman Took Supplies.
When the message was received
and the airmen knew WHEREBY to
find their unfortunate companions,
they were able to 60 to their re-
lief with ammunition and supplies.
Thus the lost batilion was saved
: by a tiny grey and white carrier
Cher Ami recenely returned to
the United States There he is to
spend the rest of his days in COM
fort, knowing nothing but the
tenderest care. General Pershing
gave orders that he was to come
back to America in first-class
stateroom, but on shipboard the
little fellow became lonesome for
someone who could talk pigeon
English so he, was returned to the
pigeon-coop where he had for COM
panions 100 birds which were cap
tured from the enemy. -
I forgot to tell you that Cher
Ami means in French, dear friend y
Billie and Queenie.
Now for the strange soldiers who
helped to fight the enemy under

Dumb Soldiers and Sailors
Who Helped Win the
World War

the sea; Billie and Queenie are Cal
ifornia sea lions and they served
with the British navy. When the
war ended these remarkable sailors
had about completed their course
of training as submarine chasers.
When U-boats were near the sea-
lions would go directly to the spot.
Red wooden floats which they wore
were attached to their necks bobbed
along on the top of the water, and,
guided by these. the sailors aimed
their depth bombs.
If you have watched the sea lions
at the zoo or in a circus you know
how they can be trained, but who
would ever have thought of making
soldiers OF them! The British Jack
les trained the creatures by fasten-
ening muzzles over their heads, to
prevent them from fishing on their
own account. Every time they did
something right they were reward
ed with feast of fish.
Followed the Nose.
The first step was to teach them
to follow a noise under water. When
they located the noise they were
promptly fed, so it soon became in
stinct for them to search out under
water sounds. A line that played
out as the sea lion dived was fas-
tened to their collars and a small
boat followed their course ready to
drop the bomb when the animal
stopped.
When they began to practice with
submarines the two seals became
so expert that they would locate
the undersea craft, climb aboard,
and by the time the boat rose to the
surface they would be on deck
clamoring loudly for their dinners.
= Of course, had they climbed
aboard a German submarine they
would not have been rewarded with
fish by the enemy, but Billie and
Oueenie did not know this. Per-
haps it is just as we'll for them
that the war ended just when it
did, for sooner or later, they would
have been called upon to pay the
price that every good sailor is
ready TO offer to his country-life
itself.
The experiment was very un-
usual and interesting one, and the
Jackies grew very fond of their

Only Female "Skeeters''

Mr.. Mosquito does not bite; his
bill is so blunt, that he, could not be
a bloodsucker if he wished 1t is
Mrs. Mosquito who does all. the
deadly work of fever propaganda:
She is most active around dawn and
after sunset. She avoids strong
lSght and prefers dark colors. She
is essentially a domestic creature,
staying around houses by prefer,

In the autumn the males die, and
the females seek winter quarters,
according to the Scientific Amer
lean. They hibernate in dark cor
ners of cellar and garnet and on the
first warm day of spring are out lay
ing their eggs. Save when extend
ed BY the arrival of this alternating
period, the life of the female is one
or two months; the male. on the
other hand, lives but a few days.
The food of the mosquito is the
Juice and nectar of plants and, of
: course, blood-though not neees-
sarilY that of men; animals. reptiles
and even caterpillars are bitten with
the same freedom.
The female mosquito lays from
so to 100 eggs at a time, on any
quiet bit of water. In about three
days they hatch, and though at first
the larva is very small, it grows rap
idlv and attains full development in
few days. We have then the IA
miliar wrigglers of the old-time rain
barrel and the uncovered cistern.

lasts from seven tie fourteen days,

guished from all others by the curl
