THE DOG NUISANCE
Next to war, dogs seem to be about
the most terrible thing In the world,
according to the hundreds of letters
that are coming to the National Emer
gency Food Garden Commission, which
1h conducting n nation wide campaign
for moro food gardens and Is Just com
pleting a nation wide survey on what
the country is really doing in food con
scrvntion.
In these letters all sorts of answers
to the dog question, if it be n question,
are made. One of the latest is from
C. S. . Harrison of York, Neb., who
acids a tabulated account of what can
be done with the dog. Harrison says,
"Let our r,K)O,Hi0 dogs puy some of
our war t:tx." He is for a ten dollar
tax on dogs. He of course would save
the trained sheep dog. The document
tells of the damage done by dogs to
children, horses, gardens, and also what
good gloves a dog skin will make.
A national dog law is advocated by
the Nebraskan, who suys: "A ten cent
dog In town Is often allowed to rob
people of $1 worth of sleep In u sin
gle night while lie barks at a cut.
Sleep la One of the best assets we
have. A man might as well break into
a neighbor's house and rob him of S5
or $10 a night than to allow that worse
than worthless don to rob Win of
sleep. This should be a national mat
ter. State laws are not strong
enough."
Manv have written the commission
asking it to start a campaign against
cats, and hundreds of suggestions are
being sent in as to how to police the
fon,1 pardons. The boi scouts have
Jwen organized for this purpose In
many towns.

FINE CLOTHES AT A
The war department records dis
closed a remarkable case of family
patriotism; Three sons of a Florid
family are enrolled, respectively in
the army, navy and officers' .training
camp at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. The
mother and daughter and the rest of
the family are preparing to Join th
Red Cross and In addition the
mother has offered all her property
consisting of two hundrted acres of
land to the government for any pur
pose;
Among the thousands of letters
reaching the Provost Marshall Gener
bis office these days from wlvos, moth
?rs and sweethearts asking exemption
for their men, officials were amused
to find several from wives recom
mending that their husbands be con
cripted. One woman said her hus
band did not want to go to war, but
hai no good luason for not going, and
"tipped" the War Department that
it would be Just as well to make a
soldier of him.
The Newfe and Observer learns that

est number of violaters of the regis
tration law, 25 in that county, the

Professor Advises What Not to Say
About the War.
Dr. Preston W Slosson of the history
department of Columbia university has
drawn up a series of "Don'ts on the
War." Some of them are:
"Don't say 'My country right or
t.-rong.' We ai'-n't wrong.
"Don't call national necessity and In
eriiatin:'.l Justice by any name as
i ague as 'national honor.'
"Don't say Wall street or 'British
cold' or the- 'Northcliffe press' made
:his war. You don't have to bribe a
nation to make it resent the murder. of
its citizens.
"Don't call every pro-ally 'pro-Brit-ish.'
Great Britain Is only one of a
lozen or so of the allies.
"Don't say that both Hides -think they
ire lighting a defensive' war. "'-A ..man
:uay honestly think that two anu six
ire ptevi, but it doesn't make them so.
"Don't callr universal (raining 'Prus
sian niiiitaristn.' It is no more Prus
sian than it Is Swiss, French, British,
Argentine, Japanese or Australian.
"Don't say that we owe aid to France
on account of Lafayette. We didul
help Fran-e in lsTO, and we were right
not to do so. We only owe aid to uny
nation when it Is fighting (us at pres
ent) in a righteous quarrel.
Don't say 'that 'It doesn't make any
difference-', to' the workingman what
country govern him,' On the contrary.
it nuil;es more difference to him than to
any one else, ..because the rich man can
spend his time In travel or buy his way
into the privileged class if he iinds po
litical conditions' oppressive.
"Don't break into lyric -praise of uni
versal training as a school of democ
racy. Some armies are less democratic
than others, but all rest upon a basis of
command and implicit obedience. The
army may level the rich and poor, but
It .-doesn't mean equality between offl-
rers and men."

Here's to the end of ehrapnel shell!
Here's to the end of war and hell,
The wrecks of men, the hate, the fears.
The wounds, the mighty flood of tears!
Here's to the end of exploitation,
Poverty's grinding: degradation,
The waste of competition dead,
And one grand commonwealth Instead!
Here's to the day that is to be.

Count de Maupassant Offers Huge Cas
tle For American.
The Count de Maupassant of the fam
ily of the author Guy de Maupassant
offers nil hupe and - magnificent cha
teau at Lecelller, near St. Nazalre, at
the mouth of the Loire, as headquar
ters for the general commanding any
American forces disembarking lu the
vicinity.
The ample grounds arouud the
chateau afford room for the teuts of an
army and all conveniences for the sol
diers. The chateau contains 200 rooms
and has nfimerous stables and out
buildings.
The count says that General Persh
ing's . headquarters will probably be
near rarls or the front, but that his
chateau is suitable for the general
actually commanding the disembark
ing troops. Ills fervent love for the
United States, he says, prompts the
offer.

Kaneas City Cowards Have
Scheme to Evade Draft.
Slackers have discovered a method
to set at naught the peril of the se
lective draft. At least four young
married couples of Kansas City have
adopted babies within the last month.
Two foster mothers have boasted that
now their husbands will not have to go
to the front.
When congress declared war there
was a rush to the marriage license bu
reau. This was checked by the war
aepartment's announcement that those
who wed now would be drafted Just
the same. Foiled in this effort, the
cowards are now turning their atten
tion toward the orphan asylums.
