FERGUSON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) * WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY "IN FRANCE, Oct. 4.—(By mail.) — War pigeons have personality. In their way they are as conscientious in playing their part in the war as tlw. men they “are aiding. The proudest pigeons in. France are the ‘Pigeons of Verdun.” Ducting the dark days when Germany threw all her weight against the famous French stronghold and __ sacrificed thousands of men in an effort to break the line there, pigeons fur- tished the only méans of ocmmuni- eation with the fortresses for woeks, hey flew. thru the storm of Ger- man bombardment day after day. Many were killed. But when the fight was ended with victory for the French, the survivors of the “Pig- eons of Verdun” were honored, along with the men with whom tney fought. The “Pigeons of Verdun” are now pehsioned. . They do not have to r'sk their lives in battle flights again. te- ing of the finest strain many of their song and daughters are now in the battle service of France, but the olii- er. birds—the real pigeons of Ver- dun—are living a life of ease, gru-v- ing fat and shiny, and strutting proudly when exhibited. “Old Satchelback” is a pigeon in a certain American cote that is a ,constant source of amusement to the men-in charge of the flock. ‘‘Satchel- back” has almost human character- istics that apparently include a sense | {of humor. He isn’t what may be| called a good bird. He isn’t as fast! ,on the wing as others in the cote, +but he is valuable for the influence he has on the other pigeons. Often when a pigeon has flown thru shelifire to bring back a mess-| age from the front, it will be ner- -vyous and unstrung. The bird will circle over the cote, but will not alight. Then “Old Satchelback” is called on. He is released and cir-} ‘eling about the other bird, will head} -for the cote. If the newly returned| pigeon fails to follow the first time,! ; { ) i ; ' {price on Wyoming wool. It can withdraw the oil lands after the pros- ocrats, has delivered another body blow to Wyoming by the with- drawal of oil lands in the Lusk field. . Pitiful indeed is the plight of the North and West, the great in dustrial centers of the nation, who are at the absolute mercy of the Southern-controlled administration at Washington. | The South pays less than 11 per cent of the nation’s taxation, yet’ it yields a 100 per cent power over the rest of the country, and makes us like it. The Solid South, in control of affairs at Washington, can fix a y pector has spent thousands in development. With one full swoop the powers that be can take from us our fortunes and transform us into paupers. But let a suggestion be made that the price on cotton should be fixed and a mighty wail front Dixie will echo thru the corridors of the capital at Washington, and the Southern Senator will tear his hair in frenzy. | Far be it for us to re-establish the Mason and Dixon line, long since obliterated by the blood of the brave men, but it sure makes the blood of the Westerner boil to see Northern money being used almost exclusively to build cantonment camps in the South, see Dixie land fall behind in Liberty Loan subscriptions, grab all the fat and powerful jobs at Washington, control every committee in congress, while the North and West foot the bill. The withdrawal of Wyoming oil lands by the Southern-controlled administration is an act of piracy, which cuts the arteries of industry at a critical time in our nation’s history. We may be partisan, per- kaps, but we do not believe that Wyoming cares to send another Dem- ccratic Senator to Washington who will be compelled to do the bid- ding of the Solid South.
