Usi New War-Time Use For Swine Is Discovered Shades of Ellis Parker Butler follow this story from the Wash ington Post. Writing in a s:me what editorial manner the Post reporter says that, “Before the present war started, it had been predicted that there would be little occasion for individual feats of courage due to the highly me chanized methods of fighting. Although the accuracy of this prediction has not been conclu sively tested, certain heroes have apparently already distinguished themselves in action. A dispatch from the French front relates that the soldiers are sending out pigs to detect Ger man mines before the men ad vance. When one batch of pigs has gone to its just reward by exploding the mines, the sold iers follow up and send out an other batch from their new posi tion.

And as early as 1606, the French in America were producing Gum Turpentine. Cap tain John Smith, leader of the Jamestown colony in Virginia, gave the following directions for obtaining the gum of the pine tree: “Pyne trees, or ffirre trees, are to be wounded within a yard of the grounde, or boare a hoal with an agar the third prte into the tree, and lett yt runne into anye thinge that may receyve the same, and that wch yssues owte wilbe TuFpentyne worth® 18 L Tonne. man lives. And from the pigs’ an gle, exploding a mine probably involves no more suffering, and is certainly more dignified, than bee: mir.g a string of sausages. Put pigs at the front will ne cessitate a complete reorientation of certain popular and ancient j fallacies.

The lowly pig has long been the subject of undignified jokes and unseemly i similes, with the single exception I of his triumph over the big bad wolfe. His new role in machine age warfare, however, seems to make our conceptions of both chivalry and pigs archaic, i Anyway, the diversion of French pigs from truffle hunt ing to front-line service will lea ve something of a problem for the next post-war generation.
