Only one German commerce raider
net submarine distinguished itself
in the year. The fast Moewe sank
many allied ships Off the coast Of
Africa and reached home port in
safety March Q. On February 2 a Ger
man prize crew brought the Appam, a
British capture, into Hampton Roads,
having come all the way across the At

vessel is still in the American courts.
Two more nations have been drawn
into the war. The entrance of Bull
caria has been described. On March
10 Germany declared war on Portugal.
Portuguese and German troops had
clashed in Africa some time before
and Portugal had just seized the Ger

tions of the republic were induced by
treaty according to which she prom.

OF delinquent" The dog that pays
no tax is generally of the sheep kill
ing breed, and his non-existence would
most likely prove a blessing to the
sheep raising industry. Up until oc-
tober last, there were sheep claims
of $2,168 for sheep killed by dogs in
Fleming county, and II is quite sure
now that the amount of dog tax col
lected this year will not be sufficient
to pay so cents on the dollar. Thus
those farmers who want to raise sheep
instead of dogs will have stand a
loss of over 1,1OO during the year.
