Those Kansas Editors.

construed as unfriendly. We hope they
won't be, for we like both the editor and
his ~ewspaper The Beacon contains,
among other things. a lively little ex-
change department, headed Among Our
Neighbors." 1t is one of the first col
umns we turn to. AS most Of the items
clipped for it are from Kansas journals,
their average is pretty high: what Is there
about the Kansas air that makes for vital
ity in editors and paragraphers? That
state Is almost as famous for newspaper
men as for wheat o~rops-which is our idea
of a s~uperlattve. We like what the Bea-
con quotes from the Alva Times:
according to press reports, a Philadel-
phia man has a bottle of rum-that is 215
years old. Here's one man among a mill
lion who knows how to handle the stuff"
And another Alva newspaper. the Rec

Army Dogs.
From the American Boy.

From the American Boy.
In Germany the dog has his place as
a part Of the nations regular fighting
force. There is a regular dog corps for
service in time Of val. h dogs are
carefully trained to their duties.
Most of the dog corps are composed
entirely of Spitzes or Pomeranians and
these are mostly white in color. OF
course, a gray dog has a better chance
of escaping detection in the field than
a white one, but the white dogs are
gray enough after they have been on
the march for a day or two. Each dog
is equipped with q metal collar and a
pouch for letters. He is nsver tied up
and is never led by a chain or rope.
The dogs are given a peculiar, but re-
markably thorough and painstaking
education. First the dog is taught to
distinguish between the uniforms Of
the Germans and those Of foreign coun-
tries. He is then taught the uniforms
of the officers Of the German army.
After he has mastered the uniforms Of
the various armies, he Is given some
drills in scout duty, being taught to tell
his master Of the approach Of an enc
my or friend.
The army dog Is also taught to deliv-
er letters. The letters are placed in his
pouch and he is trained to u from
post to post with them. He is taught
to know many other posts besides his
own, to recognize them by name. to
take q pouch of letters to any post des-
ignated, to deliver them to an officer,
to walt for a reply and to return to his
own post. The soldier dog also looks
after the wounded. He Is trained to
discover wounded soldiers, to take wa
ter to them. to tell his superior Of
ficers Of his discovery. When the dogs
education Is completed he Is assigned to
a regiment.

Exact Copy of Wrapper,
Heavy Pasturlna Condemned.

Heavy pasturing Of alfalfa is not
advised. The number of animals per
acre should be so regulated that two
or three small cuttings Of hay may
be taken from the field. This is nee
essary to insure tender green growth
for grazing. When little buds begin to
shoot at the base Of the stalk the
alfalfa should be cut. In a very few
days a fresh new growth makes its
appearance. Overpasturing, without
occasional cutting, also tends to in
jure the crowns Of the plant and even
tually destroys the stand.

Winter Warfare Awful Prospect

E#.n| lllS LAAIAlaSAS s-s
Suppose the war Is undecided, as
seems almost sure when winter closes
down Hpon Northern Europe.
The Russians advance into Ger
many will be made through a country
whose climate in winter Is not unlike
snow lies on the ground in much of
the region frona November till late
April.
The defending Germans Will occupy
he barracks of strongly fortified
towns and cities, with every possible
arrangement for the keep and comfort
OF the men. The Russians will find
themselves on the outside doing thei
best to live in the open country or
in such villages as they may occupy.
They will be able to attack only after
dragging guns and material many
miles over frozen ground and through
heavy snow.
The burning of Moscow will be re-
peated a hundred times on smaller
scale If it shall be found necessary
to deprive the invading Russians of
shelter. Whatever the Germans must
abandon they will, If possible, destroy
that it may render no service to their
enemies. Retiring. IL they must, as
winter descends upon the campaign,
the Germans will strip the country OF
whatever might afford food, forage or
housing for the invaders. Russia not
only will confront the staggering need
to house an army of millions on the
w~indswept and bitter cold Prussian
plains but will have to bring up the
supplies they will require over
wretched roads and bridgeless streams.
To the west and south. in France,
winters are mild, and the German
army will ave less difficulty in carry
ing On it's campaign through the worst
Of the cold weather. 1t will be ardu-
01a and hearthreaE king work but If
will not be comparable to the fearful
task Of the invaders on Germany's
east.
Ten millions Of men may spend a
winter under arms in various parts Of
Europe. If they could force the issue
before November, even at a staggering
cost in life and suffering, it might be
easier for those millions than to un-
dergo the horrors of winter campaign
ing.

BIDS SUBMITTED FOR
 EIGHT NEW SUBMARINES
Lake companyss Bid for Smaller liar
 bor Defense Boats Was Lowest.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Bids were opened today at the navy department for eight new submarines, one of which is to displace between 925 and 1,066 tons. The exact specifications are a naval secret. The great diving ship must have a speed of 21 knots on the surface and Is knots under water will be propelled by Deisel engines with oil fuel and be of sufficient cruis- ing capacity to accompany a fleet around the world
 There were only two bidders, the Electric Boat company and the Lake Submarine Torpedo Boat company. The latter submitted thirty separate bids. For the seagoing submarine the Electric company'S bid was the low est. at S1,350.000 for vessel of 925 tons, while the Lake company's bid for smaller harbor defense boats was the lowest, being $376,000 for a vessel of 2S9 tons.
 The bids presented many variations and to meet the requirements of con- gress that three of the eight vessels should be built on the Pacific coast each bidder added from $20,000 to $25,- 900 to the stated price on that account That made the Lake company's bid for 2S9 ton vessel built on the Pa cific coast $397, ,000.
 As the lump appropriation of S4, ,46S.- GOO much provide at least eight boats it would appear it will be necessary tc choose the smaller type in at least seven cases

Petrograd, via London, Dec. Is, 11:25 D. n.-The following official communi- cation has been received from general headquarters at the front:
 Tn AflaWa region our action con- tinues and the success gained by our troops has been maintained.
 "On the left bank of the Vistuia large forces of the enemy are con- centrating. In the region adjacent to the river How the presence of several new bodies of the enemy which have just reached our front has been dis closed.
 Since the morning of December 14 there has been fierce fighting between Lowicz, the Vistula and the left bank of the Bzura and both sides have been alternately on the offensive and de- fensive. Our troops, however, have been able to make some progress.
 "The fighting in the other regions along the whole stretch of the front has been less intense. A marked weakening of the enemy between Cznstochowa and Cracow is reported and in that region the Germans are completing their movements by rail- road toward the passes of the Carpa- thians.
 ..In western Galicia the battle is de- veloping."
