Antelope Herd Thriyes In
 Canadian National Park

Calgary Alta. July IS OD ~ An t"lopo which were threatened with extinction in Canada have been suc- cessfully preserved in Nemiskam National park. When the preserve was established in 1915 there were only 45 in the herd, the last sur vivors of the thousands that once had roamed the prairies. There are now 235 animals in the herd, a gain of 190.

A herd finally was discovered in southern Alberta and the tract Of 5000 acres on which the animals were feeding was surrounded by a fence of woven wire and all the work was done without disturbing the anil mals.

GERMANS FIGHT
 FOR THE FRENCH
Are Serving in Moroccan
 Campaign

Berlin, July IS LPJ -- One half of the foreign legionaires fighting on the side of France against Abd el krim In Morocco arc Germans, in the opinion of Berlin military ex- perts. Not only is it untrue that Germans have come to the aid of the Moroccan chieftian. they say. but on the contrary, France is be- ing supported by about 12,Q00 to 15,OOO German subjects enrolled in the foreign legion.
 This rather startling fact is ex- plained in the following manner: In article 1T9 of the Treaty of Yer sailles, Germany undertakes not to permit any of it's subjects 10 enter the service of another power, ex- cept that it is specifically provided that this article shall not be ap- plicable to the French foreign. legion
 During 1922 and 1923, many German young men found them selves out of jobs. Others found the daily grist of Gcrmany's recon struction task too dull and unar- venturous. They readily listened, it is said, to the arguments Of French recruiting officers, who told them of comfortable wages, exciting service, and a carefree life in the French foreign legion.
 In this way at least t5.oO0 young mon enlisted in service for France, little thinking that they would soon be called upon to shed their blood on the battlefelds of Morocco for nation against which they fought only 3 decade and less previously.
