LIS OF HOMING BIS
CHICAGO, June 8.— With more thar
a hundred homing pigeon lofts ovei
the country, experts in training at
every camp, and new tests being made
by long flights daily, the pigeon sec
tion of the department of signaling if
facing the serious problem of pre
venting slaughter of the birds by per
sons who fail to realize their impor
tance. It is understood that a num
ber of cases are under investigation
by the department of justice here
Congress recently passed a law pro
viding a maximum penalty of $101
fine and six months’ imprisonment for
killing government pigeons.
The birds trained in this country
" can be used in France only for breed
ing purposes, as the winged couriers
must be put into service before they
“settle,” which is at the age of eight
weeks or less. France and England
have about 60,000 of the birds, and
Germany, at the opening of the war,
is said to have had 50,000. The United
States is expected to have more hom
ing pigeons of the “90 per cent effi
cient" class than any country in the
world before winter, according to of
fleers.
] Birds accepted by the United States
must have pedigrees and be of the
racing homer breed. Those now used
as carriers are not the original car
riers, but are known as the racing
Belgian homer, a cross from the Kng
lish carrier to the tumbler and then
through one of the owl-pigeon breeds
; "Up to a distance of thirty- Tafts*
the homing pigeon can make twe
miles a minute,” said Lieutenant Will
• iam L. Butler, department pigeon of
fleer, central department, signa
corps, United States army. "The}
have flown as far as 800 miles on a
• single flight.”
“Lieutenant Butler said that ihesc
birds, when released under the heavi
est barrage, would swing upward, cut
a great circle to get their healings
and then dart for their lofts at a
height of half a mile, with such a
i speed as to defy anti-aircraft lire.
Recent tests have shown that on
short-distance flights the birds car
surpass the wireless in speed when
the message is of any length.

OOF OF IB'S VICTIMS
LONDON, June 8.—Recent cas
ualty lists from the big battle ir
