There is not and never has been such a fortress and the French command must remain absolutely free to de- fend or to cease to defend the Ver- dun bridgehead exactly as long as | the general interest dictates. The French at Verdun have fought | grandly and covered themselves with | imperishable renown. They have caused enemy casualties equal to the strength, and have not withdrawn anywhere more than three or four mijes in a fortnight, despite the immense deployment of Zuns before them and the most vio- lent assaults of infantry They have shown tenacity. and { dash and have set an examble of for titude which the rest of the Allied armies in the west will emulate when | the hour strikes, On sea, as on land, we must be on the alert, unable as we are to say in which direction the next blow will ! be struck.

Jack Always Carries Strange Pets With Him, Being of a very strong, sympathe- tic nature, 'with a great passion for animals, it is scarcely surprising that 'Jack' dotes on mascots and pets. Dogs and cats are, of course, to the fore, and among the most: famous canine pets of the Navy are the bull dogs of the famous Rodpey Stone breed which Lord Charles Beresford as presented to several Dread. Doughts. Sir John Jellicoe, it may: be remembered, was presented with a bulldog, Jumbo, as a mascot for his flagship. among sailors' favorite pets. Both are - highly entertaining, and the former, in the words of the Irishman, "does everything but gp 'be be made to work: Sometimes Pets in the navy are come by in strange circumstances, says Field, as, for instance, the pig of H. M.S. Glasgow. This animal was found swimming about in the Paci- fic after the Dresden went down, and was picked up by one of the Clas- EOow's boats. Another rescue incident is forth- coming in the story of Spot, of the Iron Duke. During the battleship's steam 'trialssshe rescued the crew of the S8. Scotsdyke, which had caught fire. The dog belonged to the cap- tain, and was with him on the burn- ing ship. rescue to present the dog to the Iron Duke was immediately closed with. "An opossum on the Superb is one of the strange animals that some- times figure on warships, but, apart from animals aboard, one of the strangest of naval pets or mascots is surely that of a puff adder One of the naval brigades in South Africa carried the snake about in a tin box for a long time, feeding it on field mice. It was eventually killed, but finds an honored place as a curio in the United Services' Museum. "Of memorials to pets the grave- yard of H.M.S.

The unfortunate who brings an ani- mal on board when possibly half seas e0Ver is made to pay the penalty "In the old days it was customary to take live stock, poultry, and sheep to sea. and some good old yarns are told in consequence. Lord Charles Beresford recounts that at the period when a ship's appearance depended on the proper application of black and whitewash a certain found fault 'with the the fowls and coOps were dirty. The latter, to remedy matters, white- washed the chickens and blacked their legs and beaks The were the. property of the captain, and failed to survive the treatment, It was then usual for the admiral to take a cow or two to sea, and the officers took sheep and fowls Lord Charles remarks that there is a. tradi- tion in the navy to the effect that-one 1 killed aged two the monkey, January 11th, watch for the benefit of the officer, on watch; and, in order that the ad miral should get his allowance - of milk, the cow was then filled up with water and made to leap backwards and forwards across .the hate hways.
