Pigeon Problem

Stubby, bald-headed Frank Hicks does not object to pigeons as such.

Considering that the pigeons had at last pushed him too far, he set a trap on the roof. Next morning, to his astonishment, he found an old and indignant rooster in the trap. Attached to the rooster's nervous leg was a capsule, in it a note: "Manila has fallen. Dewey."
