When the next great war breaks
out. dogs may be expected to play an
important part in the campaigns on
both land and sea.
In many parts of the world they
are already serving as soldiers, sail
ors and policemen with results, which
indicate that they will be invaluable
aids.
The breeding and training of dogs
for military, naval and police duty
has become an important industry
Major Richardson, a retired British
army officer, was the first man 10
appreciate that the dogs remark
able protective and hearing and
seeming powers could be turned to
account in q way never before
dreamed of. From the extensive
kennels which he established he is
now shipping to all parts of the
world large numbers of dogs of vari-
Gus breeds that have been carefully
trained to guard human life and
property under every condition.
One of his first customers was the
Car of Russia. who ordered two am
bulance dogs. Major Richardson sent
two collies and these faithful crea-
lures served throughout the war with
Japan and were the means of saving
hundreds of lives.
Another royal customer of his was
the Queen of Spain, who ordered an
ambulance bloodhound for service
during the war in Morocco. Previ-

really reach the inner circle. But
when we pass the uplifted torch of
the Statue of Liberty and we draw
near to the massed pyramids of Man
haitian, we involuntarily tremble with
excitement to accomplish, to do
something. The fact that modern
acquisition of power is measured by
dollars in no way affects the prin-
ciple that in the United States all
who are mentally healthy feel a driv-
ing pressure to work and to realize
the best that is in them.
Their opportunities are unlimited.
Between the northern wheat fields
and the cotton belt, the quicksilver
mines of the Pacific slope and the
shoe factories of Massachusetts lie
the richest natural and commercial
openings in the world. Whoever is
ready to work steadily and to ac-
cumdulate the results of industry in
stead of luXuriously spending it, is
certain of financial independence.
Socialistic tendencies here lack the
backbone of necessity. Whenever
and wherever in this country they
are given occasion to work themselves
out, the result is reversion to the SIM
pie ideals of the Declaration of In
dependence.
Slowly the centre of the whole
worlds activity is moving westward;
the generation is very near which
will see all human interests concen-
trated on a city over which floats the
Red, White and Blue.

Real Dogs Of War

ously, Major Richardson had used
collies almost exclusively for ambu-
lance work. But the bloodhound sent
to Morocco proved able to endure the
heat so much better than the collies
that this breed is now being used al
most exclusively for ambulance and
police duty in warm countries.
The bloodhound is the most efficient
of all police dogs, but its high Initial
cost and the expense of upkeep make
this breed out of the question In
cases where large numbers of the
animals are required.

Airedale is of big, heavy type, with
strongly developed protective in

hearing powers. Tt is extremely
hardy and can readily adapt itself to
either great heat or cold.

Getting Ready for "a Boom.

From the New York Herald
There are signs on every side that
the period of retrenchment, economy,
doubt and gloom has ended and that
the country is about to enter upon an
era OF expansion and prosperity.
The prime factors in this are the
assurance of continued easy money
and the decision Of record breaking
crops If the decision of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, ex-
pected by June l. gives the railways
the long-awaited advance in rates
this will hasten the pace of the pro-
cession, which has already started
its forward march.
What are the evidences of this
Well, bank clearings are larger than
a year ago, although prices Of the
| commodities exchanged are lower
/ an evidence OF increased volume of
business. The same story is told by
recent comparative increase in the
| earnings of a number of the rail-
ways. Pittsburgh tells Of greater
purchases of basic pig iron-the in

mand for finished steel products
/ Fall River notes an improved inquiry

I cycle of industries.
AS a result of the hand-to- mouth

HUGHES TRIES TO EXPLAIN.

Senator Hughes finds it necessary to send to the
World statement of why he is going to vote for the
repeal of free tolls for American coaswse ships in
the Panama Canal. 1t has taken Hughes several
months to think out his and yet he omtts to
state the principal and real namely presi-
dental patronage and the transcontinenta railroads
But the principal and real reasons are so we'll
understood in New Jersey that there was really no
need to put them into the statement What the
voters of the State think of Hughes partly shown
in the Seventh Congress district election when his
candidate was so ANONYMOUSLY defeated on the Pan
anna tolls question. Hughes himself will hang on to
his Senatorial job until 1913 and the voters won't
have chance to get him until the elections three
years hence But the treason of the Hughes vote on
the bill of surrender Great Britain and some other
acts on record will not be forgotten in 1917

The Microbe Menace

Our wide general information, in
this day of the Sunday newspaper,
tells us that the real danger of the
time is the quiet microbe, says the
Atlantic Monthly. We could even
wish that microbes clanked chains,
and then we would know they were
about and speed for the prophylactic.
The innumerable devils of the mid
die ages, invisible, but always some
where in the neighborhoood, have
been neatly replaced by the discov-
cries of bacteriology, and if we
hadn't got used to them, living would
be an almost impossibly anxious per-
Torrance. The vacationist, reading
the warning issued by his govern
ment against the bacterial dangers
of simple country living, would stay
hopelessly in the city-and then
learning of the bacterial dangers of
summer life in town, would eventual
ly be driven to suicide by drowning

Goes Into Voluntary Exile
to Act as Nurse for Leper

MILWA UKEE, Wis. June When
physicians at the Soldiers Home at
West Allis definitely determined last
week that an inmate, Vernon y. Ben
nett was a leper, they called for vol
unteers for the position of nurse to
him. Yesterday Fred w. Curtenious
another inmate, announced that he
would take the place. Curtenious,
like Bennett, served through the
Spanish American war. He is listed
in the books at the home as fifty
two, laborer, a Protestant, unmar-
ried. and friendlesS."
In accompanying Bennett into the
exile which the latter's isolation in a
shack at the home means, he practi-
cally renounces the world. Physi-
clans say that after years he prob
ably will contract the disease. Ten
veterans of the Civil War also vol
unteered to nurse Bennett. All were
over seventy and too feeble, it was
decided, to do the work.

xAr1oxAI HONOR FOR o'GORMAN.

The debate i'll the Senate on Panama tolls may be
ended this week There are some amendments to the
repeal bill TO be voted before the bill IS finally
acted upon and any one of these amendments. if
adopted will change its character, frustrating the
purpose of President to make an unsolicited gift
outright to England of American rights in the canal
that are as undoubted right in the ST. Mary S
Canal.
Whatever may be done with the repeal OF Tree

grateful obligations to Senator OGorman and his
patriotic associates who could not be prevailed upon
either by presidential patronage or the tremendous
Influences brought to bear upon them by the great

4 Pretty GOOD World

This worlds pretty good sort of world,
Taking it altogether.
In spite of the grief and sorrow we meet
In spite of the gloomy weather.
There are friends TO love and hopes to cheer,
And plenty of compensation
For every ache for those who make
The best of the situation
There are quiet hooks for lovers of books,
With Nature in happy union;
There are cool retreats from the noontide heats
Where souls may have sweet communion;
And if there's a spot where the sun shines not
There's always lamp to light it,
And if there's wrong We know ere long
That Heaven above will right it.
So it's not for TO make fuss
Because of lfes sad mischances,
Nor to wear ourselves out to bring about
A change in circumstances.
For this worlds pretty good sort of world
And He to whom debtor
Appoints our place, and supplies the grace
To help make it better.
