The way we signal with pigeons we take two pairs of pigeons up the line in a basket and In case all the other means of signalling have been blown up o1 rather our wires cut by shells, we have little round tubes that fit o1 tbe pigeons legs and we put a message in it and let the bird go, and they are so trained that they. fly back to lofts that are back at corps headquarters and they, take the message and send it by wire wherever it is to go. They are traiuecl.,.aud we have to know all about their 1laliits,3 and be thorough- ly trained ourselves, I will tell you more again. We also signal to the aeroplanes. This is the longest let- ter.

Blaylock, the Red Cross Commissioner in Franco, from. Col R, 1.1. Simpson, 0'.1.'., No. 1 Canadian General Hospital "Your letter regarding the alleged selling of Canadian Red Cross sup- plies received. I am indeed surpris- ed urpxi -ei t hear that a, Tort of this a fel tis nature has been. circulated, for. I can say that it is absolutely unfounded as far as my experience goes. Per- haps some misunderstaoding may have arisen from the fact Ahab there are two or three societies that sell their goods such as the Young .h1en's Christian Association, the Church Army and 'the Chaplains' Associa- tion. t is probable the boys, not knowing the constitution of these different societies, have wrongly con- cluded that because they, have had to buy goods from these peaces that the Canadian. Red Cross Society was the sante." Col. A, E. Ross, D.D.M.S., Head- -quarters Canadian Corps, ?writes : "As head of the medical services in the Canadian Corps area, I state without fear of contradiction that no officer, !ton-commiddioned officer or man ever pii1chase5 any article of Red Cross supplies' in our area. These are supplied, to medical sta- tions only ou indent countersigned by nae. All the comforts of our rest stations and medical stations are gifts of the Red Cross Society. Noth- ing is for sale. Nothing Can be bought by anybody. ? "If the name of anyone with the Arnie Corps who has (purchased any article of Red Cross Supplies can be given 'to me, I will investigate such cases and give report.
