DOG VALUABLE IN WARFARE
Intelligent Animal Brings Sorely
Needed Aid to Wounded During a
Luil in the Fighting.

A war correspondent speaks Of a
French soldier who, in writing to his
family, told how his life was saved by
the pet dog Of his regiment. Struck
by a fragment of shell in the arm
and with a saber cut over the head,
tie wounded nan was lying half-cov'
cred by the dead bodies Of his com
rades, when he felt a light touch on
his forehead. 1t was Tom, the regi
ment's dog.
In spite of his pain the soldier tried
to raise himself up a little. He knew
thai the animal was trained to carry
to the camp a wounded mans cap
but he had lost his own. The dog hest.
tated, and the soldier said to him:
Run quickly, Tom; go and find my
comrades. Go on--find them!"
Then Tom understood. He dashed
away to the camp, ran about amrng
the men, pulling their coats and bark
ing, and at last succeeded in drawing
two ambulance men to the spot where
the wounded soldier lay. He vas
taken up quickly, cared for by the
surgeons, and today he is fast recover

Tom goes toward the firing line as
oon as the bullets begin to fly. He
scratches a hole in the ground snd
c7ouches there. During the lulls il
the firing he does duty with the am
bulance men, and helps to save The
wounded.

is Justice Even7
From the Kansas City Times.

Such men as Dean Kirchwey, Prof.
4. Clark and Prof; A. J. MeKelway ave
lately stated to the industrial relations
commission in Washington that the ad-
ministration of Justice has had a de-
cided bias against labor in the disputes
between employers and labor.
For the anarchical conditions in Colo
rado the credible testimony has been
that both sides committed acts of vio-
lence leading, either directly or indi-
rectly, to deaths. The investigator, Mr..
John Fitch, and the Industrial relations
commission nave all emphasized the law
lessness Of the employing side in that
controversy.
One alleged evil especially condemned
was the political control by the coal own
ing corporations of the machinery OF GRIM
inal justice in those Colorado districts.

TEACHING OF THE FOURTH
BY Rev. Francis E. Clark.

Our nations has been ~marvelously
prosperous in the past because the
great heart of the people has been
sound n true. We hav been, for the
most part. true to the traditions of the
fathers. We have kept in good degree
to the simplicity and God fearing pur-
pose of the pilgrims. We have sought
to make America an asylum for the
oppressed and to stand for righteous
ness and liberty n peace among the
nations of the world. Because of this
great underlying purpose, in spite of
many mistakes and wanderings from
the highest ideal, God has wonderfully
blessed us. We are among the live and
living nations of the day, as Lord Sal
isbury expresses it, and not among the
dying nations. Then, in conclusion,
let one with seven generations of
American and Puritan blood in his
veins urge you, patriotic. young, Chris
ton Americans, to be true to your
great inheritance to remember all the
way in which God has led us in the
past, to stand for our country when
she is right, but never for our coun-
try right or wrong" to use the VIC
tories of the past as not abusing them,
and to resolve that because of the great
favor of our God we will do our very
best to make u beloved land a right
eous, God fearing, peace loving nation,
ever the refuge and the champion of
the oppressed n never a bombastic
BULLY among the nations of the earth.

Indian Forced to succumb.

The white MN and the Indian never
could mix, and the Indian has had to
succumb. All of us admire the Indian
and would like to see him survive for
all time; but it appears impossible
that with advancing civilization he can
continue. The Indian simply will not
submit to the changed conditions; he
still dreams Of the happy hunting
ground and the forest and stream, and
nothing the government can do for
him can reconcile him. The automo-
mile and other things have helped him
along in his reckless career, but tu-
cuberlosis has been the most destroy
ing element in the life of tho Ameri
can aborigine.
