"BETTY, SAVED STEAMER CREW
Rescue of Dog Pleased German OH.
Ger and He Didn't Harm Boat.
By Wilbur =. Forrest

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, July Is (By maiD.-
Thirty eight members of the crew of
the British cargo steamer Caucasian,
torpedoed off the British coast, owe
their lives to a dimunitive POmeranian
dog.
The story was told today at head
quarters of the National Canine De-
fense League where Captain Robinson
of the Caucasian was awarded a silver
medal for saving the life of the dog
and consequently the crew.
The Caucasian was torpedoed after
submarine had pursued the vessel
an hour While the crew were swarm
ing into the boats Captain Robinson
handed Betty" his wifes lO-months-
old Pomeranian dog to the second
mate directing that the animal be
placed in a lifeboat. The mate hand
ed Betty" to a member of the crew
who accidently dropped her overheard
When the captain entered the boat
he saw the little dog swimming to-
ward the submarine. He Immediately
jumped into the water and swan
about a quarter of a mile. When he
reached the dog he placed it on his
shoulder and was surprised TO find
that he was within few yards of the
submarine. The German officer of the
craft, standing on deck, addressed him
in imperfect English:
81 had made up my mind to blow
up your lifeboats because you did not
stop your ship, but | will not do so
as a reward for your brave swim to
save your little dog"
Captain Robinson swan back to his
lifeboat and the submarine proceeded
on its search for other victims
The crew were picked up by the
British steamer Inglemoor- but imme-
diately were forced to take again to
their own boats as the submarine re-
turned and torpedoed the Inglemoor.
Captain Robinson. with his dog, and
crew were finally rescued by another
steamer and landed at BenZance.

BEER PRODUCTION FALLING OFF.

The amount of beer produced in
Missouri in July shows a decrease of
about one hundred thousand barrels
as compared with July year ago. Ac-
cording to the beer inspectors report.
the receipts for July, 1914, were $780,
9S977, while for last month they were
only s41,l26.73. a decrease of s19,-
S63.O4.
This is the first indication of the
effect of the progress of prohibition in
Missouri on the production of beer
The report shows that the dry move
ment is making serious inroads on the
liquor traffic.
This indication of the success of the
war on the liquor interests doubtless
will give tremendous impetus to the
fight in Missouri

en- changed also. Trained women, OF
course, had fiocked from the first in
thousands to their posts as nurs-
es and doctors, and this also
from every part of the empire.
The death rate among the wound
ed, and deaths from disease
have been astonishingly small in this
war, thanks to efficient medical and
commissariat organization, and above
all to excellent nursing. In these
things women have had the privilege
of doing their part.
The hospitals, officered entirely by
women, with women doctors, surgeons
and orderlies, as well as nurses, have
been one of the new things in this
war. The society with which l am
connected, the National Union OF
Womens Suffrage Societies. has sent
out TO France and Serbia many or
these wOmen's hospital units. We are
now responsible for more than LOCO
beds and the sum subscribed already
exceeds S25O,0OO. Our women doctors
have earned the very highest praise
from the military and medical author
tiles under whom they have worked.
Lord Methuen wrote of the unit which
visited Malta:
"They leave here blessed by myself
surgeons, nurses and patients alike,
for they have proved themselves most
capable and untiring workers.

When the shock of the war came
upon us in August, 1914, the first
thought of every man and woman
throughout the British Empire was
What can ! do to help my country
in this supreme crisis?"
The way in which men could help
was clear; and the creation of what is
known as Kitchener's army was the
response given by the young manhood
of the whole empire Not only from
the homeland but from every part OF
the empire, men and girls kept pour
ing in. No external compulsion was
needed. The compulsion proceeded
from within. Love of country and
freedom, and the keen desire to serve
We're better than any external compul-
sion; and it was noteworthy that
when reverses and mlsfortunes were
our lot the immediate result was a
sharp rise in the numbers recruiting.
Nothing more inspiring to our faith
and confidence can be imagined than
the way in which the young manhood
OF our country Immediately recognized
their duty and did it, not counting the
cost, content and happy to be allowed
to spend their lives for freedom and
their country.
Amid much that is terrible and de-
pressing in the last twelve months,
this stands out bright, clear, shin
ing light. Our small army of a few
hundred thousand has become an
army of three million, recruited from
the best blood and all ranks, not in
the spirit of bravado and jingoism but
in the spirit of solemn. and at the
same time, joyful, self-dedication.
Those who have seen our men at the
front have no words to express their
admiration for them; their cheerful
ness, their heroism, their absolute un-
selfishness
The men left behind had to work
double shifts to support the men at
the front: Every man in the fighting
line needs two or three men and wom-
en- at home to keep him supplied with
all he needs in the way of equipment,
and food
The women have not been behind
the men in recognizing their duty; by

months of the war Then when this
phase of the national situation was

THE WARS FIRST BIRTHDAY.

The first birthday of the European
war is just past. How many more
birthdays it will celebrate is a ques-
tion which none of the belligerents is
able to answer. A few weeks ago the
Kaiser was credited with the state
ment that peace would be declared by
October Recent developments tend
TO disprove this.
Each of the warning nations took
advantage of the first birthday to make
a statement. Russia says that its re-
cent defeats have not in the least
dampened the enthusiasm and conf
dence of ultimate victory. The au-
thorities point out that the present
campaign is the same that Russia has
always followed The retreat from
Warsaw is explained by the lack of
ammunition and by the statement that
the first line of defense would not
have been placed in Poland except to
relieve the Allies in the west
England has made the announce
ment that the war will never stop
until the Allies are successful. 1t is
a fight to the end. say the British. who
insist that they have not yet reached
their fighting strength. With new
armies plentifully supplied with am
munition. no hope for the Germans
can be seen.
The Kaiser's statement on the
wars birthday is that he never willed
the war. He says that it was forced
upon Germany and that the Teutons
have no fear of the outcome Point
ing out that although year has pass
GU Ho euciny is upon UeTlIldH sui, he
can see no danger of defeat. Austria
makes no statement, leaving the talk
ing as we'll as most of the fighting in
the hands of the Germans.
Allowing deeds to speak, the
French make no review of what they
have accomplished or what they hope
to do. Instead, they criticise the Kai-
ser and say he did will the war
France is keeping quiet and fighting
desperately
There is no sign of peace. Each of
the contestants is confident of victory
1t looks as if the war cake will have
few more candles before its last
birthday is celebrated.

the most important arm is without
doubt the automatic machine gun,

1t is with this weapon that a thin
line of Germans, stretching across the
continent, is able to hold back the
French and English while vast hordes
of the Kaiser's men are driving back

is UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Strong opposition has developed
among the Democratic leaders in Con
gress. against the proposition TO tax
the manufacturers Of munitions. and
the most influential opponent happens
N be Senator Underwood. who helped
frame the tax measures OF the last
Congress. There may be a sentiment.
al reason for imposing such a tax. but
the business injustice Of IL is appar-
ent. Such a tax would be an ~inequitv.
because these manufacturers are al.
ready heavily taxed through income
and corporation taxes. which will au-
tomatically compel concerns making
great profits out OF war contracts TO
ray heavier taxes 10 the government.
But there seems 10 be another OBJ
stacle in tho way Of imposing such a
tax. outside OF the discrimination in
yolyed. As The Intelligence point
cd out yesterday. such a levy would
practically be q tax on exports. and
that is something that Is forbidden by
the constitution. This inhibition sub.
stanially disposes OF the movement
which emanated in the Treasury De
partment.
So far as the talk Of the untold
profits the war brides" are making.
there will be nothing unusual in them
when the passed dividends n the

up for. Besides. this unusual run cf

WHAT THE CENSOR WILL NOT

We are indebted to an American
journal for some particulars OF the
marvellous organization which has
succeeded in reducing Germany's sub
marine campaign TO a chapter OF sheer
utility. The American Government.
We are told. has gained a full ac-
quaintance with the methods Of sub
marine telephony by which the pres
ence of pirates is flashed from OBJ
serVation posts; with the special
types Of mine that have been invent
ed for the protection OF our steamer
lanes with the huge nets" that bar
the most important corridors OF Brit
ish trade; with the swarms of motor
boats whose vigilance secures a vast
eApanse OF waters; n with the part
mat aeroplanes have played in the de
lection OF the hidden m~arauder. Tbs
suppression Of this menace is one OF
the great feats Of the war, and IL has

rescue against the malign forces mar
sbaled by Bryan.
The lntelligencer remarked from the
first. after Bryan had blown his blast
on his peace-at-any-price horn, that
the President would be compelled 10
rely on Republican support II he ex-
pected to have his program adopted
by Congress. This prediction is now
verified by the announcement from
Washington that Senator Bots Pen
