Article Title and/or Image Caption: Army Pigeons Are Turned Into Photographers
extracted text: As a result of the important part played by carrier pigeons in the world war, German army officers recently have started extensive training of the birds and experimenting with them. Some have been taught to carry an automatic camera strapped to their breasts, the apparatus being capable of making six exposures while the birds are on the wing. Dogs are being trained with the birds, the animals bringing the birds in carriers strapped to their sides from the home port of the pigeons to officers whom the dogs have been taught to follow.
