Is That So?
Animals who have fought bc
lide their masters, often saving
large numbers and turning the
tide of battle, have occasionally
received a "well done."
Moustache, a dog, was decor
ated by Napoleon's Field Mar
shall Lannes. Duke of Monte
bello. In 1800 when Napoleon's
troops were camped near the
Valley of the Balbo, in Italy, an
Austrian regiment crept stealth
ily through the darkness to take
the French unawares and would
have succeeded but for Mous
tache who had smelled them out
and raised such a fracas that the
Frenchmen were all on their
feet and ready when the attack
ers arrived.
But even a greater feat and
the one that won him undying
glory in battle, occurred at Aus
terlitz. While Napoleon's men in
a certain sector were taking a

trouncing. Moustache calmly
moved back and forth among
the men of his regiment and hap
pened to be next to the flag-
bearer when an Austrian rushed
up and killed the bearer and
snatched the falling standard.
The snarling Moustache was at
the Austrian's throat in an in
stant and tore the regimental
banner from his hands. Then
with the standard held firmly in
his strong jaws, he went streak
ing across the field with the tat
tered glorious remnant flapping
wildly. Only when he had car
ried it back to his company com
mand post did he surrender it.
Many other dogs have been
given medals for extraordinary
performances. During World
War II, army engineers on foot
failed to mount a bulky wind in
strument on a high snow-covered
peak. Finally, an expedition
powered by four dog teams did
and for this they won the co
veted Presidential Unit citation.
Guard at Meeting '
Then there was "Chips"
owned by Edward and Nancy;
Wren of Pleasantville, N.Y. i
Chips first got attention when
he was assigned as special guard
at the Roosevelt-Churchill meet
ing in Casablanca, 1943. Later,
he was assigned to combat duty
with Company "I" of the 30th
Infantry Division. One day when
his platoon was trying to wipe
out a machine-gun nest. Chips
broke away from his handler
and stormed the implacement by
himself. The enemy was so
startled that all surrendered
and Chips, deservedly, was cited
for bravery beyond the call of
duty. ,
Many a statue has been cast
of magnificent war chargers
but more to glorify the com
mander than the horse. How
ever, war homing pigeons can
claim one for themselves. It
rests over a gate in Paris in
grateful acknowledgement of the
tens of thousands of microfilmed
messages carried in and out of
the beleaguered city during '
Prussian encirclement. I
But to me, the finest testimon-!
ial of all to man's partner in war
is part ..of a great Scottish War
memorial in Edinburgh. Cut in
its base are these words:
REMEMBER THE BEASTS
WHO HAVE SERVED AND
DIED. And underneath this j
humble inscription are tablets '
to the dog, the horse, the camel, !
the ox and the elephant, to the
canaries and the white mice who
discovered gas in tunnels; and
a beautiful reproduction of three
pigeons standing by their bas
ket about to spread their wings
and carry a message as they
have so often in the past, saving
men's lives.

American Airlines
Plane is Searched
Tucson, Ariz. (VP An Ameri
can . Airlines plane was delayed
30 minutes early Saturday while
the FBI and sheriff's officers
) checked out an anonymous tele
phone tip that there was a bomb
placed in the aircraft.
Capt. Frank J. Murray said
the FBI investigation showed
the telephone call had to be
made from one of the 100 Pima
county courthouse extensions.
The telephone call was made
Friday afternoon but the plane,
bound for Chicago, did not ar
rive from San Diego until 11:45
p.m.
The craft was met by a dozen
officers who made a thorough
investigation before permitting
it to continue.
At the time the Spanish-American
war broke out, the United

2.000 officers and about 25,000
men.
