POSTMASTER LAUGHLIN

Doubtless the choice made by Con-
gressman Aiken of postmaster for
Anderson will meet with popular ap-
proval. or course the intimate friends
and well-wishers OF the other gentle
men will feel q bit disappointed that
their applicant did not win, but they
must remember that only one appli-
cant could receive the appointment.
There were others who could have
served the city as postmaster with
ability and have made a good choice.
but in the opinion of the appointing
power. the best choice was made. Mr..
Laughlin Is we'll qualified to make an
ideal postmaster and The Intelligen-
Ger hastens to Join HIS numerous
friends in congratulating him. Always
q public spirited and progressive citi-
zen. he will bring the same spirit OF
progress to bear In tho performance Of
his duties as postmaster.

A NOTABLE MEMORIAL

When George T. Angel, almost
half century ago. founded the Mas
sachusetts Society for the Prevention
OF Cruelty TO Animals and set In
motion the work that has resulted in
80 many agencies and activities on
behalf OF our dumb animal friends.
both in this state and throughout the
world, he saw far into the future. Yet
he could not see far enough to visu-
alize the splendid Angel Memorial
Hospital for Animals which Is now
nearing completion ON Longwood av
enue. This remarkable institution,
which will be ready for permanent oc-
cupancy in few weeks, is no way
unworthy of the distinguished COM
pany in which it finds itself. The
most notable group of hospitals and
OF medical schools in America, IL not
in the world. would not be complete
without place for the care and cure
OF the dumb friends OF humanity.
The hospital is more than a hospi-
tai, for II will house the administra-
tive departments of the great humane
work that II represents, and Il is
monument to DR.. Angel and the many
other generous benefactors of a cause
that makes a peculiar appeal to every
person who has humane impulses. The
work that this hospital will do and
the cause for which It stands are not
merely Of indirect benefit to mankind
itself. No person can be kind to ami
mails without himself being better for
the act. The community where the
great modern movement for kindness
to animals had it's organized begin
ming is far better place for men and
women u live in from that very fact.
and It's activity in this good cause has
made greater its influence In other
good causes. Boston and Massachu-
sets warmly welcome this new insti-
tuition. and will count IL amcng the
many to which they point with pride
and of which they expect growing
measure OF usefulness through the
coming generations.-The Boston Her
aid.

Glad in the freedom OF school let out,
Came the boys like a flock Of sheep.
Hailing the snow, piled white and

Hastened the children on their way

So meek, s. timid. afraid to stir.

tierrez said decree would be publish

to extend adequate protection to rail-

HOW SOLDIERS FIND SAFETY
They Soon Learn to Dig Trenches
While Lying Down.

The advance line may have suf-
fered great losses, or the ammuni-
tion may be running low. At all events
1t finds Itself unable to gain ground
to the front. To retreat would be ia
tai. 1t must remain where 1t is some
Of the men find natural cover, but
many must provide artificial protec-
tfon from the enemy's fire. The men
are lying down as fiat as they can To
arise, even to a kneeling position,
means death or disabling wound.
The necessity for cover under these
circumstances caused men to devise
the lying down trench, some times
called the skirmisher's trench. It
gives cover from rifle fire to q man
lying down, but is absolutely no pro-
lection from shrapnel bullets. The
height os the paprapet should not
exceed one foot. The trench itself is
about 1-2 feet wide and about s
fest long. 1t can be constructed by
one man in soft ground, using the
portable intrenching tools, in about
twenty minutes.
Under fire as outlined In the fore
going, the man being compelled to re-
main In the prone position, he can
mask himself from view in from ten to
fifteen minutes and complete the
trench In forty to forty-five minutes
In this position and IL view OF q
small number of portable intrenching
tools carried by the company, the
man would be Obliged to use his knife
bayonet to loosen the earth and the
cover OF the meat can to shovel 1t in

One of the methods of working sug-
gested by the text books is to dig a
trench Is inches wide as far back as
the knees; roll into, 1t and dig 12
inches wide alongside OF It and down
to. the feet; then roll into the second
cut and extend the first one back to
the feet. This trench was seldom used
In the Manchurian war. The best that
can be said for 1t is that men can OBJ

DENTAL wa- plans pf the war college. /"
according to Franklin ID. Roosevelt,
ASSISTANT secretary OF the navy de-
partment. who testified To-Day at the
house naval committees hearings on
the naval appropriation bill. Mr..
Roosevelt explained that many addi-
tional men would be needed for pur-
poses other than manning ships now
In commission. Asked why service
able vessels were laid up in reserve,
he said no nation kept all of its ships
constantly in commission.
Mr.. Roosevelt explained a table
worked out some months ago by the
navy department. according to ali es-
tablished formula. showing, the
strength In armored fighting craft Of
various navies in ,"points.'<It /isCed
the three leading powers as follows:

Roosevelt as the most practical way
Of building up a reserve. He said tho

militiamcn in emergency. 81.
The navy. Mr.. Roosevelt assured the
committee, went steadily forward dur
ing the past ycar.gsIt improved it's

street cut down and removed. Had tho
matter Of cutting down these trees
been put to a vote. it is doubtful IL
the motion would have carried. for
