1t is delightful to see the enthusiasm
and ready intelligence with which the an

are up and out in the fields at dawn and
remain hard at 1t till about noon. While
gentleness is the watchword, f1rmness is
used also, and each dog must do his task
correctly, even If he has to keep at it for

and after that the dogs are permitted to
play or loaf, just as they please.
The first steps in training are to teach
the animals to obey signal or word or
whistle, no matter how faint or low.
Then they learn to report at certain
places that are shown to them. After
they have mastered this, which is a most
difficult task for the puppies,
they learn to guard the packages
which contain the Red Cross out

duties all being mastered, the great

on in meadows and open fields, without

Germany, says the London Spectator, is
preparing for a war with the United
States. Such is the warning solemnly
uttered by one of the most conservative
publications in the world. The dire pre-
diction has just been made the subject
of what seems an impartial study by this
solemn periodical. This weekly, COM
ments the New York Herald, is in more
than one sense the organ of Europe's
nose responsible classes. 1t stood stanch-
ly by this country during the late war
with Spain. In support of it's contention
that war between Germany and the United
States is inevitable in the not distant fu-
ture, some pregnant facts are adduced.

empire about 1910 or 1915. The Brazilian
government is not without uneasiness at
the prospect. The recent additions to the
navy of the republic may be intended as
warning to the world that Brazil will
not submit to dismemberment without
resistance.
Germany has never disavowed the de-
signs upon South America which Euro
pean diplomats have attributed to her
for ten years. past. Such a disavowal
would be distinct negation of the pol
ley Of Emperor William. He could not
repudiate all designs to annex portions
of South America and remain consistent.

Of the war predicted between ourselves
and the kaiser. 1t seems that the kaiser
and his people are two distinct parties In
this business. The German people want
no war with us. But the kaiser feels diff
ferently. He dreams as all the world
knows, of vast colonial empire. He wants
to expand. The most available field for
this expansion is South America. But the
Monroe doctrine bars the way. The mo-
ment the kaiser attempts TO annex terri
tory in South America he wlll have to
deal with Uncle Sam.
Brazil is the region in South America
upon which the kaiser is said to have his
longing eyes Few people in this country
are aware that an immense area In Bra
I'll is now wholly German. An extent Of
territory greater than that of the Father
land is inhabited almost exclusively by
subjects of the kaiser. The prevailing
language is German. The religion, insti-
buttons and customs in Brazil are all more
or less under the tutelage of emigration
societies, with headquarters in Hamburg.
This movement began in 1925. The region
embraced within it is practically the
whole of the Brazilian republic from Rio
de Janeiro on the north to the boundary
line of the country itself on the south, and
from the Atlantic on the east to Uruguay
on the west. Shortly after the overthrow
of Dom Pedro's government, Brazil began
to fear that she would be swamped by the
influx Of Germans immigration from
other nations of the European continent
~ 10
Of Italians made their way to Brazil.
The designs of Germany upon these
colonies are said by the Spectator to be
very definitely formulated. 1t wishes to
annex the region to the empire and to
govern it through an Imperial commits
sioner appointed by itself. This is the
way most German colonies are governed.
Unfortunately for Germany the German
subjects in Brazil view such a prospect
with anything but enthusiasm.
Land hunger is alleged by this au-
thority to be the disease of the reigning
dynasty In Germany. Far-sighted men
have not hesitated to predict that South
America will constitute the great prize
of the future in the eyes of European
governments. The partition Of Africa
would be repeated in South America at
any moment were it not for the Monroe
doctrine. AS long as the prestige Of the
United States remains what 1t is today
the powers of continental Europe will
keep their hands off South America
But the moment it becomes apparent
that this government Is not strong enough
to maintain the Monroe doctrine the
rush upon South America will begin.
When the war with Spain began 1t was
generally admitted in Europe that the
Monroe doctrine was running a risk.
Had Spain developed unexpected strength.
