That they must encourage devel

and capital with a guaranty that both
will be protected.
That they must keep administration
free from everything that favors of
Socialism and give the atate a

Neither gas clouds nor artillery fire
prevented the messenger birds from
doing their work. Airmen have been
rescued through tHe pigeons. The
birds were even carried behind the !
enemy's lines and from there carried '
important information bark to the ul-j

There are three branches of pigeon j

work in home defense, ton, but it was
at sea and on the battle fronts where
the work seemed most marvelous.
About 20,000 of these carriers were
added to the service every year. In
n war in which so much highly de
veloped machinery was employed, it
id more remarkable to read of the
work of these feathered members of
the army. Tho currier pigeons have
won deserved honor and respect in
tho past four years.
