BIRDS WON HONOR

Achievements Acknowledged to
Worthy of Mention In Records
Thousands of Lives Saved by
Messages They Carried.

The A. P. S. stands for the American
pigeon sorvlco of tho United States
army.
When the history of the greatest of
all wars Is written, these American
birds will have their names In the
annals.
U will bo told how the nuns were
organized Into shotgun squads to kill
tho winged messengers, but how 08
per cent of them outdistanced the hul.
lets and "homed" with manners Mint
enabled American artillery to locate
and silence the enemy guns, to destroy
trains of the foes ammunition and to
Bnvo thousands of American lives by
re-enforcements and tlmoly rescues.
"Ilonvler-thnn-nlr" planes were not
the only ones who sailed nbovo the
enemy's heads. The army signal corps
had 10,000 pigeons overseas nnd 10,000
In America to be sent If they were
needed. Birds carried 403 messages
of Incalculable Importance, nnd at
times when nil other means of com
munication wcro unavailable.
"Tho Mocker," with his eye destroyed
by a. pleco of shrapnel and his head a
welter of clotted blood, home In
splendid time on tho morning of Sep
tember 12, a few minutes after 7
o'clock, in a thick fog nnd heavy rain.
Never faltering, ho boro tidings ol
a particularly Important objective
reached nnd gavo tho location of sov
ernl of tho enemy's heavy batteries
which were dolm? terrible orocntlon on
tho advancing American troops.
With tho Information American an
tlllerymcn were able to silence the
enemy's guns within 20 minutes. The
Mocker's wounds were dressed, ho re
covered nnd Is now In tho loft In Po
tomac park.
No less valiant Is tho record of
"President Wilson." n huge blue bird
of wonderful vitality and rapidity' of
flight. So gallant was his work dur
ing tho operations of tho tanks on the
St. Mihlel front that ho received the
commendation of the signal ofllcer of
the first corps. IIo was then trans
ferred to tho Mcuse-Argnnno sector.
On the mornlnz of Knvpmlipr n
mrougn heavy rain nnd fog, nnd with
a leg shot off, tho big blue arrived at
his loft with an Important message.
This was his second flight on this
front nnd he made over 20 kilometers
(12 miles) In 21 minutes. "President
Wilson" also recovered nnd Is now
In the Hall of Honor of the American
pigeon service. '
Perhaps tho most heroic bird that
died on the American front was "Cher
Ami." Ho carried a tremendously Im
portant messnge from Grand Pre, on
the Argonne, over 25 miles of hills nnd
dales, to his loft In Rnmpont.
Ho shot up from behind tho Ameri
can brenstworks like n rocket. Ills
plgeoneer saw him falter nnd flutter
In tho air n moment, recover, noise In

mld-alr for a second and then, like i
flash of light, shoot nwny with his
head pointing borae.rard.
At Itnmpont straight out of the sky
like n plummet ho dropped, striking
his loft breast first. Ser;t. Kockler.
his trainer, found tho messnge tube
was hanging from the ligaments of his
leg, and he had a hole In his breast.
"Cher Ami" died from his wounds nnd
his body Is mounted In the Smithsonian
Institute.
Perhaps the busiest bird on the
Amerlcnn front was "Spike." "Splko"
Is the color of tho sky, flies like
greased lightning and eluded the Boche
bullets. Ho delivered 52 Important
messnges, never raado a mistake nnd
didn't get n scratch, ne, too. Is back
In Washington.
No. 07552 has no name yet. As far
ns Is known, he was the only Germnn
bird enptured alive. He was taken by
tho Americans In tho St. Mihlel drive
and Is now associating with the Amer
lean pigeons In Potomac park.
Last of the Barons.
The Inst holder of tho Judicial title
of baron In Great Britain pnssed with
the recent denth In Dublin of 'Chris
topher Pnlles, who wnsv baron of the
exchequer In Ireland. Tho tltlo of
baron was abolished when tho court
of exchequer was merged with tho
queen's bench, and Lord Chief Baron
fanes was tho last bearer of It.
He was tho solicitor general for Ire
land In 1872, nnd the same year was
promoted attorney general. After
holding tho lntter office for two years,
ho bocamo lord chief haron and hold
that position until 1010.
He was one of the ablest lnwyers on
tho Irish bench and ono of the wittiest,
but had a grent regard for tho dignity
of his court. Ho was elghty-nlno yonrs
old when ho died.
Control Vanadium Production.
Amerlcnn Interests are said to bo
In complete control of tho vnnadlum
production which Is located In tho
Peruvian Andes, from which locality
about 05 per cent of tho material Is
obtained. Vanadium has now become
one of the vital factors of tho steel
Industry. Four pounds of this materi
al ndded to a ton of steel results In
an Increase of 45 per cent In the
strength of the steel nnd at the same
time produces an alloy which tins sat

away out in the Orient grow
rich aromatic tobaccos. A long
buying arm reached over and
brought them to the U. S. A.
then combined them with our
homegrown full'bodied tobaccos.
Out of the blend was born Spur
Cigarettes.
That rare, rich old-time tobacco
taste and aroma is winning right
and left. Ecsides, Spur Cigarettes
have impprtcd paper, rolled with
out paste. The crimped scam maes
Spurs burn slower, draw easier, and
taste better.
And that smart brown and sil

Spprs right. You just can't stay on
the fence once you have "met up'
with Spur's good tobacco taste.
