GIVE DISCHARGE
TO CARRIER BIRD

An honorable discharge" was
issued yesterday by the local army
recruiting station.
The discharge was to the army
carrier pigeon which was picked up
here several days ago. By the serial
number the "home" on the bird was
located by communication with the
dar department at Washington,
which communication averred that
the pigeon was from Fort Sam Hous-
ton, Texas, and was returning from
carrying a communication to an
other post when it was lost here
The department signal officer at
Fort Sam Houston ordered that the
army number be severed and the
dove released. Sergeant Smith and
Private Beckham, in charge OF the
recruiting station released the bird
Yesterday afternoon.
It flew away in westward direc-
ton.

WAR WEARY ALLIES
COMING TO AMERICA

New York, April 4.--Five million
Europeans, Wearied by the war, but
still awakened to new points of view
by it, are turning their eyes and
thoughts to new homes across the
sea.
If they can find these homes in
the United States they will flock
here the moment the opportunity is
afforded. Otherwise they viii re-
main where they are Canada, Aus
tralia or South America are not
considered for an instant by the
great majority.
France has her thousands ready to
come. Italy has even more, and
England will be larger Represented
when u propitious time has come.
But it is Germany that has the most
numerous and most eager company
of those who would be emigrants to
this country.
These are the expert findings Of
Frederick G. Howe, commissioner Of
immigration at this port who recent
ly returned from service at the
peace conference in Paris and who
naturally found in the problems of
immigration and emigration an inn
port element Of the work he was
doing with regard to reconstruction.
Important as these findings are,
Dr. Howe brought home one of even
greater interest, and for that mat
ter of not much less significance
1t is this:
The American doughboy is respon-
BILE for the new and fervent consid-
Grafton Europeans are giving the
United States
with his head up, a grin on his
tanned face and his long legs
swinging in a stride that seems new
er to tire" said DR. Howe, "the
American doughboy is altogether the
most lovable, the most worthwhile
man in Europe. He does things that
nobody else has been able to do; he
goes to places that everybody else
thinks cannot possibly be reached.
There isn't a corner in Europe that
the man in khaki hasn't looked in
to; there isn't job that he hasn't
tackled and completed.
"The county that produces such
extraordinary beings is bound to fire
the fancy of those who look on and
try to imagine from the effect what
the cause has been. Can you doubt
that the United States has come to
be for the French wholly desirable
land in which to live?
"And, this sort of thing is hap
pening al 1.-The way across Europe
exactly as it is happening all the
way across France.

RivertoWn's two remaining veterans
of the Civil war met and passed each
other without a sign Of recognitioni

zled lock as from her window she
gazed after each In turn.
Both were Of medium height, but
Uncla EDS kindly blue eyes were fad
ed, he was thin, and his hair was
snowy white, while Uncle Zeke was OF
stockier build, his dark eyes were sun
bright and his hair was an iron gray.
'Why, they didn't speak" the girl
gasped in dismay, and added softly,
"And they've always been such good
friends. hate to think that they may
be unhappy"
Still thinking of the veterans she
was soon on her way to the far end OF
the village, and accepted Uncle EDS
cordial invitation to come and sit with
him on the tiny porch of his little OLD
weather-beaten house.
The newspaper he had brought from
the post Office was still unfolded, ana
he appeared depressed.
She was troubled when Uncle Zeke
passed by and said softly, "He didn't
look up, Uncle Eb."
"Huh !" he snOrted. "He doesn't have
to! l don't care if he never speaks to
me again."
"Now Now! Uncle Eb! And you
have always been such good friends
she said, protestingly.
After a silence Uncle Eb spoke. Il
know" he said softly. "And always
we have lived here side by side. We
began going to school the same day,
enlisted in the army together, and in
the same company fought side by side
"After the war; he continued remi'
niscently, "Zeke ran little grocery
store and l cobbled shoes for living
until we settled down here to putter
around and keep hens" With a soft
little sigh the veteran paused. "Who-
ever first said that an old dog won't
learn new tricks?" he inquired resent
fully.
Grover surprised US both one day by
going over to Zeke's and killing his
chickens"
"Then it became a habit, but the day
he killed four of Zeke's best pullets
Zeke lost all patience and shot him.
Don't think 1 blamed Zeke. I didn't.
But 1 missed old Rover, and somehow
I couldn't feel so friendly again to-
ward the one who shot him. Perhaps
Zeke knew it. Anyway he sold his
poultry and went over to Wingheld for
a while. You remember, Doly|
She nodded and he continued:
"When he came home again twas
toward night and was out in my yard.
I was glad to see him, and he seemed
so friendly that 1 hoped for a return
of the old happy times"
Again Uncle Eb paused and then
burst out wrathfully. "And that very
night that sneaking, revengeful,-well,
anyway, that night he shot the major.
"The major?" she asked. "My cat!' he
explained.
81 thought you called him the cor
poral," she said smiling. Uncle Eb
straightened. "He wasn't a common
cat" he declared proudly. 81 taught
him many tricks, and, the best ones
earned him well-deserved promotions

some Of Majors tricks" he said re-
gretfully. "He was great company,
