According to the German newspapers the acting commander of the 9th German Army Corps has issued an order prohibit ing the keeping of carrier pigeons in the districts north of the railway-line between Tondern, Tingleff and Sonder- burg, including the island of Alsen and the branch line to Skelle, with the ad- joining villages,

The keeping of carrier pigeons is also forbidden in the districts west and north Bergt of the Tondern-Niebuell Dagebnel line and the islands of Forbr, Sylt, Roemo, and Amrum.
