Recent local rains have made the --farmers wear broad smjles-onref again ,and the weather man has at last given us all good cheer by handing out a wet season, beginning today and extending over the Gulf States. If he delivers the goods, there :-. will be glory enough, for the crops are sadly in need over a wide area, a drench ing downpour. While the local rains do good, they do not pile up crop sta tistics, and without the general wet season at this time, 'always a short age occurs. The extreme heat of Old Sol for the past ten days has canned both man and beast to suffer and it comes as refreshing news that the mercury will now take a rast by re tiring from around the 100 mark Yanceyville Democrat. front. Two hundred and twenty-five natrol dogs have just been sent lo thy frout to accompany reconnoitring par ties and carry messages." The dog is able to perform this duty more quickly and safely than a man and thus permit a patrollng party to maintain commu nlcntlons with the main force. It taken only ten days for a clog to learn to per form this service like a trained soldier The trench dog is taught to maintain silence until the enemy is within 'JAM yards and then to give warning by a low growl. Many attempts of the ene my to make surprise attacks In the night have been detected by dogs. The service is as -dangerous as that of an advnnced sentry, and the dog often shares the same fate. Clarion, a re markably Intelligent sentry dog. which became the glory of his company be fore he was killed by a bomb, was burled with pomp and honored with a cross. ' ' ' True, a little fox terrier which sought out 150 wounded men in concealed places during t lie battle of the Marne. was recently sent back to the front after a well earned rest True stuck to his post during the pursuit of the Germans until his master was killed, when he lost his company. He turned up later, exhausted and footsore, at the kennel of the dog society where he had been trained.

By E. K. RODEN, Director of the Navy League. So much unfair criticism of the navy department in general, and of the 8ecretiiry of the navy in pnrticular, has appeared J'1 press lately as to al most prejtnliee public opinion in re gard to the 'tl!-lency and homogeneity of our naval ei'ciist. (hf writer and pulilie speaker after the other is taking their turn li: assailing Secretary Daniels and his aduiinlstratinu of the navy. If these attacks were made in good faith they -would be pardonable, but as a matter of fad the attacks are for po litical effect rathei- Ihiiu from any real understanding f navl ii:;tliliou. lteiueseniatie Ganlner of Massa chusetts, who seems ut have assumed the leading r lie iu the attacks made on what is termed ' naval inefficiency," is about as capable a Judge of 'naval affairs as 1 the man in the street Yet, if statements made by Mr, Gardner concerning the navy were true, the million dollars of the taxpayers' money spent during the last liftecn years on the upbuilding ai.d maintenance of our navy' would lie so much money thrown to the winds. Fortunately such is not the case. Any person of , ordinary intelligence who will take the trouble In looking over the statistics of the navy will liud H.at the t'JineuiIi'U.i-es made on our naval defense have been money wisely spent indeed. From a small beginning Willi the white .-quadi-on upon lines similar with other maritime nations, the United States l).;s advanced so rapidly in 'mnal construction as to have overtaken and passed nil but the two leading naval powers of the world, and today our navy, which for many years was considered by European and even by South American nations as altogether unworthy of consideration. Is recognized as a factor of tremendous significance iu tho international affairs of the world. It is only fair that credit be given whore credit Is due. The navy should not be made the object of partisan jug glery at any time and, least of all at the present time. .Five' -First 'Class Battleships. Perhaps the most ''noteworthy accom plishment of recent years is the au thorized construction of five first class battleships, to cost about $14,000,000 each. The addition of other units to the navy has been in the same propor tion. At the present time there are un der construct ion twenty-three destroy ers, thirty-eight submarines, three gun boats and seven auxiliaries. The pro duction 'of supplies of munitions for the increased size of the navy has kept pace with requirements. -Thus the in crease in number of mines on hand and iu process of manufacture is 244 per cent and iu torpedoes 90 per cent. The powder factory at Indian Head hns been enlarged, so that when the ex tension now under Way is completed its capacity will he nearly doubled. The critics of the navy lament the titter unpi'eparedness of our, fighting' units and Its lack of battle efficiency,-.' due, they elitimj- to-lack -of - praetiee.- Kut they do not know that during the last fifteen mouths more battleships and destroyers have -participated In tactical maneuvers for n longer period of time tiian ever before In t lie history of the service. The critics may not be aware of the fact that under the direc tion of Admiral Fletcher, upon plans evolved at the naval war college and approved by the department, the fleet has been busied in tactics to try out its efliciciicv and readiness. All re ports telLof dheenthu.-.iasm of ofll cero and men in this juactice and the splendid record made by the ships. Enlistment Up to Limit, Again, so far as the enlisted person nel of the navy Is concernel, for the first time in years is -the. enlistment up to the limit prescribed, by law, and this has been accomplished, not by lower ing the standard of admission' to the Forviee, but -by making the service more, attractive to the young men of the country. It will not be amiss to state that to Secretary Daniels belong?! the credit and honor of having carried into effect evolutions that have placed the naval service upon a footing It never had be fore. I refer to the new system of pro motion, by which capable enlisted men ar given chances to advance In the service. This system. not withstanding; the opposition It hns met with In some quarters, is bound to work about-a transformation In the personnel of the navy. If will substitute for the eare Jes. rollicking seaman of former days an entirely new type of man-of-wars-man active, aiert. intelliirent snd edu cated, respecting himself and respected by bin officers, well paid, well fed and well clothed, surrounded by comfortyJ f which the seafaring man of a scorJJ r more years ago knew nothing, with the certainly of rapid advancement In rate andtyy if he is faithful and iu dustrious Mud with u possibility of pro motion to the rank of commissioned officer. Secretary lanlels lias made the naval service nn institution attractive to any clean cut, self respecting American youth, and by raising the standard' of its personnel it is evident he has also increased the efficiency of the navy In the same proportion. So, again, do 1 say to the critics: Give credit w here credit Is due and use your little ' hammer with more discrimina tion. The present administration is do ing all It reasonably can to keep the navy abreast with the ever Increasing demands of efficiency and adequacy. We lack battle cruisers, it is true, but this Is due to the shortsightedness of former administrations. With this sin gle exception our navy today Is ex celled by no other navy no far as num ber of ships, organization of fighting units and the esprit do corps of its personnel Is concerned. It is well, therefore, not to take too seriously irrelevant statements made about the unpreparedness of the navy by men who have their own axes to grind and who seem to delight in em barrassing the administration at a time when it should have the backing and supiort of every patriotic and loyal citizen. THE HIGH COST OF LIVING SOARS ABROAD How the cost of living has been in creased in Euroiie by the war is shown hi a study just completed by the L'uited States bureau of labor statistics. Its information was gathered through the consular service and covers more than 100 cities, towns and districts ovei eighteen European countries. A sum mary says: "The lirst effect of the war was t lit same practically throughout Europe. Its outbreak was followed by a Khar;, rise iu prices, due mainly to panic, and uncertainty. In some countries legislative measures were tit once tak en to check this rise. Within a fort night the first panic was'over, nnd ex cept In the uctual w-ar zone prices be gan to fall. In most places, however, prices did not drop to the July level, and after an interval again took an up ward turn, which has probably not yet reached its climax. "Potatoes were one of the few arti cles which showed a fall in price in most of the more important countries. Meat also was another important arti cle which in many places Increased but little In price. ... Flour Prices Soar, "Flour showed decided changes Russia is tho greatest wheat exporting country of Europe, and the war prac tically shut off Its foreign markets. The price of wheat flour fell in Mos cow. Trices compared with the July level In Germany showed an Increase of 25 per cent by December and 34 by January. In Vienna the Increase by December was 73 per cent and by Jan uary 82 per cent. In Switzerland, the Netherlands and Great Britain flour prices in December were 13 or 14 per cent above the July level, but later figures show a continued Increase In February, reaching li4 per cent in the Netherlands and 33 per cent In Great Britain. Bread prices in .: most cases followed those of wheat flour. "Administrative and legislative mens ures to check the rise in cost of neces saries were very, generally taken.. Den mark, Egypt, Great Britain, Italy. Rus shv.. Spain and Turkey prohibited the export of practically nil foodstuffs France, Norway and Sweden listed cer tain articles which must not bo ex ported, and Ilolland placed an embargfl on butter and cbeos. i Price of Cereals Fixed. "Austria and 'Germany prescribed the. proportion of wheat or rye flour that should be used In making bread Later they fixed the wholesale price o cereals nnd r brought the distribution and ..consumption, of flour and bread under strict control. An upward movement'.'- in prices, prior to the war. had been worldwide Thus it will be seen that the increased prices directly due to the war, coming ns the culmination of a long period of increases, are much more serious to the masses of the population than thf mere figures indicate."
