Southern Russia. News«to this ef
fect has been received in Dawson in
a letter Which came to his brother,
Charles Boyle, Jr., from, their Bis

ily home in Woodstock, Ontario.
The letter states that a cable*
gram dated Juno 23 was received
stating that the colonel was safe in
Bessarabia, and giving the address
through which to send a reply. A
cablegram was dispatched immediate
ly saying that all were well.
The last heard from Col. Boyle
prior to this message was sent in
from Russia some time last Novem
ber. Owing to the long interval of
silence, his family and his many
friends had become greatly worred
lest something serious had happened
to him. The news just received has
proved a great relief to them, and
it.is hoped that before long more
definite information will bo receiv
ed.
Col. Boyle went to Russia nearly
two years ago, in connection with
the British-American war commis
sion,, and has done valuable work
there, especially in the region of
Bessarabia, one o' the southern
most provinces of Russia, and ad
joins Roumania on the east, and is
Dounded on the south by the Black
sea. Severe fighting has occurred
in that zone. German armies re
cently crossed Bessarabia to attack
Odessa.—Dawson News.
Pins WARN PARIS
OF HUN AIR RAIDS
Paris, July 25.—The sirens which
warn Paris of approaching air raids
have a new rival In the humble pig.
Allied aviators keep pet pigs at
their airdromes, but the birdmen's
assertion that the pigs were infall
ible prophets of approaching raiders
has r-een taken with a grain of salt.
Now the hog raisers of suburban
districts around Paris come forward
with confirmation of the aviators'
tradition. The stock breeders «ay
that shortly before a raid, and be
ifore eny other warning of it has
been received, the pigs begin to
show signs of intense nervousness,
scurrying about, seeking cover, rais
ing their heads skyward and. grunt
ing. Farmers declare the signs un
j mistakabl© and that a raid always
! follows.
