HOMER PIGEONSAHE BEING KILLED NEAR BELIE Bl HUNTERS OUT OF ON EHUNDRED BIRDS IN TRAINING AT SOUTHER FIELD, ONL YTHIRTY-TVVO ARE STILL ALIVE. A large number of pigeons are now being housed and trained at the air service flying school at Souther Field, near Americus, and a number of ffiese pigeons have already been shot by careless and thoughtless hunters. The Times-Recorder ras informa tion to the effect that one hundred of these birds were brought to Amer icus only a short time ago, and that out of this number only thirty-two are now alive and in training there. The birds are sent up with flyers, and af ter being carried varying distances from the field here are released and sent to their cages with messages from the airmen. Sometimes these messages are of utmost importance in addition to the training received by the pigeons, which are baddly needed at the front in France. Several of these pigeons, it is known have been killed unwittingly by hunt ers, and in other instances, it is be lieved their destruction was deliberate and intended. Because of these inci dents, Major Carlisle N. ash, com manding officer at Souther Field, re quests all hunters to exercise the greatest care in shooting pigeons and to refrain fro mhunting near Souther Field. In case an injured pigeon is captured anywhere in this whole sec tion, the individual finding such bird is requested to communicate the fact immediately t 0 headquarters, Souther Field.
