WEARING THE CHEVRONS OP HONOR EOR SERVICE OVERSEAS A ship's mascot is as truly essential in the maintenance of morale among bluejackets as are clean quarters, good food, and strict discipline. These tiny tykes, with their blankets bearing service stripes, are important units of the United States battleship Oklahoma's com- plement of fighters. blance is nowhere stronger than in the Esldmo dogs of Greenland and Alaska, which are believed to be simply domesti- cated wolves. Some of the Arctic ex- plorers have called attention to the diffi- culty of distinguishing them from the wild wolves of the same region. Captain Parry, in the journal of his second voyage, speaks of a pack of 13 wolves which came boldly within a few yards of his ship, The Fury, but which he and his men dared not shoot, because they could not be quite sure that they were not shooting sledge dogs and thus doing the Eskimos an irreparable injury. A few years ago Admiral Peary kindly conducted me over Flag Island, in Casco Bay, that I might see the pure-bred North Greenland Eskimo dogs which he brought back after his discovery of the North Pole. When these animals carried their tails curled over their backs, as they usually do, there was no mistaking them for anything else but dogs, but the mo- ment they lowered their tails, as they often did, to all appearances they were gray wolves. Another striking example of this simi- larity between Eskimo dogs and wolves is shown in a photograph by Donald B.
