It is fair to assime, then, that the German plan of campaign after the fall of Brussels included an advance upon the Maubucge-I.ille barrier. One more detail Maube'ige is on the Sambre some fifty miles above Namur. The river here runs from southwest to northeast and an 'Anglo-French force lying behind the Sambre, its flanks projjeting by Namur and Mail- 1-euge, would be squarely on the flank of the German advance. French Have Advantage. Its center would be' at Charleroi,' As a preliminary to advancing agafitft the Lille-Mauhcgue barrier . the Ger mans might well undertake; "to cruch the forces between Namur and Mau- begue, thus isolating Namur and pro tecting their own flank. Such an op- the Cahleroi-Tamines front, which has been mentioned as the field of the great battle already in progress. Yam ines is perhaps half way between Charleroi and Namur.

FAVOR OF STOCK UW ECHOES THE SENTIMENTS EX PRESSED BY "TUCK AHO FARMER" We wish to echo the sentiments of Tuckaho Farmer" regarding the stock law whose article aDneared in the Daily Journal of a few days ago. We are a ware of the fact there are many good people who are in favor of the free range sy m while there ar many who have changed their minds within the past few years and are now stock law advocates. The present law as we see it, is simply a farce and cannot be enforced from the fact that not one larmer in a thousand who has a fence around his farm that will meet the rcquirments of the pre sent law and were they forced tp erect isuch they would not be very far from bankrupsy when they were through. Under present conditions in almost every neighborhood from time to time there is truble and sometimes hard feelings Jpjriit off by the trespass of some Wtfllcss "jKrback or scrub Cow. All rafr'tnlijutra! tjpw tell us that the time has arftvea for Wtcr farming and it seems to us thaf 'up-to-date farming includes first class live stock and the latter we cannot have in a practical way under present conditions. Another serious objection' to free tange is the damage done by stock to drain ways, etc., on bur public roads and the obstruc tion given by it to the traveling public especially those who drive motor cars. in -conclusion we will say t,hat what we have written in regards to this mat ter has been done in s friendly spirit and while we favor a State wide stock law we would be gald to see what other people have to say both pro and con concerning the matter.
