Some Sensible Dog This.

A press report from Gaffney
says that j. F. Jamison, living
near that city, has a collie dog
which is a remarkable animal.
His master sends him to the pas
ture with instructions to bring
up only the COWS that are giving
milk, and Nip Will confine him
self strictly to those instructions.
Then Mr.. Jamison will tell him
to bring all the cows, and he will
come driving them all to the
barn. In addition to this. when
milking is in progress, Nip will
seize the calf around the neck
with his paws and hold it off
while the COW is being MIXED.
The dog it is said also performs
many other unusual feats which
are helpful about the house and
barnyard.

AN ACTIVE COMMISSION.

The public utilities commission of
the state Of Colo.ado is one ,of the
most active bodies in the state. just
at present it is beginning an inquiry
inta fruit rates from the western
slope to various points in Colorado
at the demand OF the fruit growers
association. The latter organizations
feel that there is a discrimination
against them and that excessive rates
are charged upon their shipments,
which not only affect their pocket
book, but also keep down the amount
of their output. The railroads point
to the fact that the cost Of building
and operating mountain railroads is
far in excess of those upon the plains,
and that, therefore, they must receive
higher revenues.
Some weeks ago, the utilities com
mission made a complete readjust-
ment of passenger fares throughout
the state. 1t is not known whether
the railroads will accept these re-
ductions or appeal to the supreme
court.
Some weeks ago the utilities COM
mission reajdusted the electric light
charges in the city of Florence and
it has announced It's intention of
considering the electric light and
power situation in Colorado Springs
at hearings to begin next August.
The utilities commission has also
made an announcement that it would
consider the whole question of tele-
phone rates at an inquirty to be be
gun some time next fall. This latter
investigation will undoubtedly re-
quire a number of months, because
of the fact that the telephone COM
pany has its ramifications in every
nook and corner Of the state,
These things indicate that the pub
lie utilities body is setting pretty
vigorous pace for itself, and that III
is making a conscientious effort to
inquire into the various causes Of
complaint or dissatisfaction with the
public service corporations of theI
state. Some of the grievances may
not be well-founded, but others viii
require a remedy and
that remedy should be applied by the
commission with fairness, courage and
discrimination to all parties concern

given of the French loss.
To quote Victor Hugo again.
That day the prospective of the
human race changed. Waterloo is the
hinge of the nineteenth century. The
disappearance of the great man, Ma
poleon, was necessary for the advent
of great century. One to whom there
is no reply took it in charge. The
panic of heroes is explained In the
battle Of waterloo there is more than
4 cloud, there is a meteor. God passed
Cver it. In the gathering night there
ood a haggard, thoughtful, gloomy
man, who dragged by the cur
rent of the route, has dismounted,
passed the bride of his horse under
his ann, and with bewildered eye, was
returning toward Waterloo. 1t was
Napoleon endeavoring to advance
again, mighty somnambulist to van

In the morning hours Of this TWEEN
tieth century, not three but eleven ma
tions are involved in war. And the
question which the world is asking is
this: When the decisive battle is
fought will the universe again change
front? And if so will it be with the
eyes of mankind toward the sunrise o.
an unending day of universal peace,
The era of one God, one law, one
element; that one far off divine even
toward which the whole creation
moves?

pERIL AND pRIYILEGE.

In war the post Of honor 10 the
post of danger, and the present con-
flict has created such posts unheard
of before. That Of the aviator is one.
That of the military chauffeur is
another. We should not be surprised
if when statistics of mortality are
available the service of the latter will
be proved to be more perilous. Ere
quently there is report of the loss Of
an air man. There is nothing in the
wrecking of an automobile to claim
special notice. Only war photo
graph occasionally shows the tortur-
ed wreckage of the machine but of the
driver there is silence.
Yet many men are serving their
country at the constant risk of life
behind the wheels of the great cars
which cannon along the roads of Flan-
ders and France, of Germany Aus
tria and Russia. In the ponderous
armored cars mounting guns they hold
bridge heads and roadways under fire
of rifle or shrapnel and explosive
shell. AS couriers they rush at the
highest speed through the strees
swiftly cleared at the sound of then
cornet, over unknown country roads
in the blackest nights-and into cul
verts, broken bridge spans with MAIN
ing or death as the fortune of war

NEW YORK, June 25.-Reports
circulating in London that as soon as
Galacia is restored to Austria Hun
gary the Germans will begin a new
offensive in France and Belgium are
probably untrue. The most important
objective of the Teutonic allies at the
present time is to lessen the number
of their foes. 1t is utterly inconceiv-
able that either England or France
will ever agree to separate peace and
Italy has come too recently to begin
to think of getting out But there
are several possible circumstances
under which Russia might be willing
to agree to peace, and for this rea-
son it has become the paramount OBJ
ject of the Germans to realize those
circumstances.
To abandon the offensive against
Russia, therefore, after the Slavs are
driven from Galicia would be to give
up the attempt to wiring peace
| treaty from the czar just when sue
cess seems to be possible. If the
Germans limit their desires in the east
simply to the recovery of Galicia and
thereafter begin new offensive in
France. the operation will most prob
ably signify that German lines in the
west are in danger of breaking. But
if the German battle front in France
|
and Flanders is holding as well in
fact, as it is in appearance, and if
there is no secret weakining, it is i'm
probable the Germans will give the
Russians any respite.
The czar's troops are now in sor-
ry plight. The huge number of cap
tured constantly being made by the
Germans show that the Russion morale
never of the best, is fast vanishing
along with the scarcity of munitions
and supplies. If Galicia must be
evacuated and the last hold of the
enemy's territory surrendered pro-
found pessimism must begin to prevail
among the Russians, and much of this
spirit surely will make itself felt
among the czar's advisers.
If the terrible driving power of Gen
eral Mackensen's armies relentlessly
continues, desperation and panic may
appear at Petrograd.
In the years before the present war
began the kaiser exerted an almost
/ hypnotic influence over the czar. The
kaiser's headquarters are now at the
Galician border, and his presence is
becoming associated with the victory
which the Germans seem bound to
win in Galicia. 1t is not by any
means impossible that the mystic
temperament Of the Russian autocrat
may before long carry him back to the
ranks of the kaiser's admirers.
