Effect or War On Animals

Mankind was not the only kind Of
animal life affected by the war
Beasts, birds and even fishes felt
the effect of the conflict.
Horses, of course, have Jared
worst. Hundreds of horses have
been killed in action, that is to say,
they have been killed by shells
while hauling artillery to the front.
Then again, when the Huns threw
clouds of their poison gases over
the artillery line, the horses suf-
fered. For the gas went farther
than the first few lines of trenches;
yes, it carried back for miles.
Horses at stations miles from the
front were killed by the gas. While
man had gas masks to protect him
self, the horse had nothing and had
to breathe in these gases, which Of
course killed him. The army horse,
however. has jealous friends. The
Blue Cross Fund, which was es-
tablished in England, is one of the
horses best friends. They had nu-
merous hospitals in France, scat
tered along the entire fighting
front. The Blue Cross hospitals
have given aid to the horses of 900
British army units. Gas masks for
horses were invented before the
close of the war.
The wonderful sagacity of the
Belgian army dogs in affording sue
cor to the wounded on the battle
field has excited the admiration OF
the world. When one of these
dogs found a wounded soldier 1t
managed to bring to the rear his
cap or handkerchief, or some other
article which would signify to his
comrades that companion had
been stricken down and was in
need of help. One of these dogs,
it is said, at the famous battle Of
the Marine, saved no less than $50
wounded men, in this way. Surely
man could have NO truer friend.
The effect of the war on bird life
is perhaps most manifest on the |
Isle of Man, where sea gulls are so
numerous and beautiful, and are
usually protected by law. In con-
sequence of the scarcity Of food
the local parliament, known as the
House of Keys, empowered the gov
ernor of the island to remove the |
restrictions, and allow the people
to gather sea gulls' eggs for food |
Then Belgium before the war was !
the largest producer OF pigeons in !
the world. But the Huns destroyed |
the farms and killed and carried off |
pigeons by the hundreds of thous-
ands. They used the well-trained |
pigeons for messengers.
Even the fishes felt the war |
Thousands of them were killed by |
bursting shells in the sea battle off |
Jutland, Nor should whales be |
omitted from our list Of animals af |
fectcd by the war. 1t appears that |
many whales have been found dead |
in the North Sea, having lost their !

A Royal Friend And
A Golden CrOlun

Do you know the little birds
called "kinglets" when you see
them? They are well named, for
they are certainly royal little birds,
with their crowns of gold and red,
and their rich, full song. The Ruby
Crowned Kinglet has q suit Of
olive green, which color was well
chosen for its dull color gives that
much more brilliance to his splen-
did crown of bright red. They are
small birds, like the warblers and
usually hold thir royal court In the
woods, although they are often
found in orchards or hedges. But
the most wonderful thing about this
active little fellow is his song.
Very few birds can sing as he can
sing, at times. Way up in the top
of tree he sings, sometimes fit
ting from branch to branch. but al
ways unmindful Of you as you
stand charmed listening to his
song. He seems to love to sing,
for he puts his whole soul into 1t.
at least, that is the way 1t sounds.
Rich and full, and as full of music
as the notes played by flute Is the
song of this beautiful little bird.
If you once hear his song. you will
ever forget it. OF course. he does
not always sing this way. Some
times he just chirps with tiny
scolding note that does not sound
at all like his beautiful song.
The Golden Crowned Knglet.
cousin of this little red crest, looks
much like his small relative ex-
cept, as his name tells you, he has
a golden crown upon his head. His
song Is not nearly as beautiful as
the other song, but is different from
most bird notes, beginning with
several shrill trembling notes. and
then suddenly ending with short
song, that ends as if it had sud
denly exploded.
Mr.. RedwIng Blackbird Is anoth-
er one Of our pretty birds, and he
usually insists on hiding his beau
ty in a marsh or swampy place. He
and Mrs. Redwing arrive here ear
ly In the spring and spend the sum
mer with us. They fly in bands
that look as If they had had mill
tary training, they are so even and
precise, and as they fly they are
silent. Then all of sudden they |
will break ranks" and, lighting on
the branches of some nearby trees.
they will sing like a trained choir.
Their song is not full of melody,
but is tinkling and full of enthu-
iasm, and it is a delight to hear |
hem. They are beautiful birds,
Mr.. Redwing who Is
Justly proud of the sleek, black
suit he wears, with its brilliant
,treaks of scarlet on the sleeves
(only of course, since he's bird,
his arms are called wings). He is
very watchful over his little home
made of coarse grass lined with
my, soft roots. and you have to
give the password before going
very close to his mansion.

Gerry had an unreasonable fear
of dogs. Thinking to cure him of
this his father decided to get one
for him. Gerry didn't much like
the idea, but nevertheless he was
greatly excited when his father tel

Quaintance with him, and Of the
Newfoundland puppy belonging to
a cousin filled his mind, so that
when his father arrived Gerry
nearly fell headlong down the stairs
in his eagerness to see his new

fearfully. then said with a pout,

THE Mexican oil fields Of Tampico,
l Tuxpan and Port Lobos are one OF
the most important natural resources
in the world. They are an important
factor in the present international
situation.
While oil is steadily rising in price
and our own oil wells are going dry,
the Mexican wells have not yet
reached their highest development
Despite unsettled conditions in Mexico.
they are expected TO produce about
20. 000. 900 barrels OF oil this year.
which is nearly so percent more than
they ever produced before
Mexico has some Of the most re-
markahle gushers ever discovered In
1918. one well known as the Alamo
produced 5000. 600 gallons. and another
well for a long period spouted $4,000
gallons Of oil high in the air every
day.
The Mexican oil lands are narrow
strip along the eastern coast They
have not been fully examined II is
believed that there are undiscovered
wells in wild parts Of the coastal
country as good as any that have been

of Carranza. Carranza is trying 10
set up a socialist republic in Mexico
but the great Industrial world re-
fuses 10 wait upon his experiment
II must have oil whether Mexico has
socialism or not The recent villa
Angeles revolt against Carranza was
an effort on the part Of the oil inter
ests TO place someone whom they
could control in charge Of Mexican az
fairs That attempt seems TO have
failed. but the new Mexican republic
is pretty sure eventually to drown in
its own oil

RE you coming 20 my party. Uncle
AWiggily2' asked Billie Wagtasl.

with his horn on the gate in front OF
the bunny rabbit gentleman's hollow
stump bungalow.
Coming to your party. Bnlie?"
asked Uncle Wisgily. why. this IS
the first time have heard that you
were going TO give one. But 1 am
very glad you invited me"
yes. I invite you now" bleated
the little goat boy. as he tried to
wabble his tail. which was not much
larger than was the one OF Sammie's.
the rabbit chap. Il sent Johnnie
Bushytail the squirrel boy. over this
morning TO tell you I was going TO
have a potato roast in the woods.
Didn't he say anything about It to
Not a word" answered Uncle Wig
gily with a twinkle OF his pink nose.
Il guess Billie is still in the woods
gathering hickory nuts"
We'll, anyhow, I'm going to have n
party" went on the goat chap. and I
want you to come. Uncle Wiggily."
The rabbit gentleman promised that
he would. but when he told Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, his muskrat lady
housekeeper, she sort Of shifted and
snuffed and said:
"Oh, WigEilyl VIII you never get
over being like a boy rabbit2''
7 hope 7 never will" laughed the
bunny gentleman.
That evening Uncle Wiggily hoped
TO the woods where Billie Wagtail
was going to have his potato roast.
A fire had been built in a safe place,
has 2 A..
dried leaves and burn the trees.
Murray for Uncle Wiggily and the
potato roasti" cried Jackie Bow Wow.
the puppy dog bog. as he tossed some
acorns up in the air and caught them
by the light Of the fire
"Hurrayl Hurrayi" cried all the
other animal boys and girls-yes,
there were girls at the potato roast
Lulu and Alice Wibblewobble. the
ducks; Susie Littletail. the sister Of
Sammie and Mamie Wagtail. who was
the goat sister Of Billie.
Now we're all ready" said the goat
boy. when all whom he had invited
were gathered about the camp fire
Now Wen have our potato roast"
A potato roast, as / suppose you
know. is just the same as q marsh
mallow roast, or a bacon bat or a
lollypop party. You all gather around
a IRE and some potatoes are put in
the hot ashes and Goals. When the
potatoes are roasted you poke them
ont. hold them on a pointed stick.
just as you do roast marshmallows,
and you eat them. I mean you eat
the roasted potatoes, not the pointed
sticks. OF course.
Billie Wagtaiis mother had given
him plenty OF nice. round potatoes to
roast at his fire. and when Uncle Wig.
gily had arrived and all were ready,
Billie passed around the potatoes
You can each have two. three or
AZ many as you like" said the goat 1
boy Wen all put them in the fire
together and when they are baked 1
nice and white and mealy inside wen /
break them out OF their back. hard i
skins and have a feast"
So the camp fire roast began. Uncle /
Niggily and the others thrust their /
into the hot ashes and Goals. /
covered them well and then sat on /
Messy logs, OF piles Of dried. leaves.
They sang songs and told stories while
Waiting for the potatoes to roast.
