In several of our raids lately the enemy has been handi- capped by having his telephone lines des- troyed. Pigeons are sometimes useful for despatch carrying. I pass a van frequently by the roadside filled with the "coving, amorous "curriers."" But they are not to be relied on, They may be shot or they may take the wrong turning By the men who have charge of them they are often reckoned grest nuisance, One day during un engsgenient on s big scale a certain headquarters stuff was very anxiously awaiting news. For a long while none came. Then « pigeon flew into wig'st, circled several times, and 'alighted on roof. 'A man was sent out to catch it. He brought down the packet containing the message.

HUXTABLE DEALER, BARRIE rf Remember By Giving T any other time than this, the heroism of the men of the Merchant Marine would fill the news- papers. As it is, you simply read of so many tons of shipping sunk by submarines. Yet from the few words you read, you must picture scores of scenes like the illustra- tion. 15,000 men of this service, not officially recognized by the governments, have suffered death in order that soldiers, munitions and food may cross the ocean. Remember their widows and orphans, dependent for life itself on your generosity. Let Your Donation Be An Appreciation of | This Sacrifice! As each day sees new victims of the U-Boat, more and more mouths wait to be fed--widows and orphans, who cannot look to governments for relief. "They shall not want!" Say this in the only way that counts--by your contribution. WE MUST listen to the call that comes from the deep--'Remember the Lusitania! Remember Captain Fryatt! Remember the 176 vessels lost, together with all trace of crew and cargo! Remember the 15,000 men of the Merchant Marine, who have already made the supreme sacrifice!
