Judgment and daring, and very largely
to direct his own campaign. 1t also
holds out far more chance for Individual
distinction than any other branch of the
service.
In fact, 1t is the policy of the British
War Office to give out only the barest
! details of air fights without the names
of those concerned, including the air
men themselves, that it is unfair to the
other services, to the infantry and the
artillery, that the aviators should reap
all the personal glory while their COM
rades on the ground are exposed to
equal if not greater risks. The air
men. however are very frequently deco
rated with the various medals and
crosses given for distinguished service.
The United States is making excel
lent progress toward building up the
personnel of its air service 1t is pro-
bable that some 1,400 men will be
graduated into active service by the be-
ginning of September. After that
time, of course, the output of aviators
should increase from month to month.
Some time ago it was decided to open
technical training courses for aviation
cadets in six of the leading American
technical colleges. The Universities of
California, Michigan, Illinois and Ohio.
the Massachusetts, Institute of Technology
and Cornell University sent represen-
tatives to Canada's great aviation
training camp, Camp Borden. Ameri-
can methods are modelled on the ex-
perience of Canada. These cadet
courses are confined to theoretical and
ground" work. After two months
those who qualify will be sent to avia-
ton training grounds for training in
the air. We shall probably have "a
such training grounds, erected at
cost of 81, 900, 900 each, in addition to
four aviation grounds already existing,
belonging to the Army and Navy, a
duplicate American training ground in
France.

SHEEP KILLERS
Dogs Have Caused An Estimated
Loss Of $1,000 This Year.

The past week has seen more de-
struction Of sheep. Saturday morning
a dog got into flock of sheep owned by
Joseph T. Glotfelty, and did more than
hundred dollars worth Of damage
Several sheep were killed outright, and
several more were so badly torn up that
1t was necessary for Mr.. Glotfelty to
shoot them, while the remainder of the
flock was scattered through the woods.
This terrible destruction took place on
land owned by Mr.. Glotfelty, and upon
which he has repeatedly said he could
quite easily pasture FIVE hundred or
more sheep, if it were not for dogs. Is
it not time that the persons not raising
sheep take more interest in the dog
question and help make this great
economical waste smaller?
Mr. Glotfelty is only one of the many
losers in Garrett county this summer.
The total loss so far this year is esti-
mated at more than 900
Wool is now seventy-fve cents a
pound: the dog is largely responsible for
this price; if people continue to harbor
sheep killing dogs, wool will go still
higher The United States department
of Agriculture says:
"Sheep-killing dogs are not only
recognized as the worst enemy Of
eastern flock masters at the present
| time, but are known to be the principal
cause of so marked a decrease in the
numbers Of sheep kept on farms. The
moral effect upon all persons who have
seen sheep killed, injured or frightened
/ by dogs is far more destructive to the
| industry than the actual damage sus-
| tanned
The unrestricted dog is the cause Of
the decrease in supplies of meat for food
and wool for clothing, and a cause for
the increase in the cost of living. The
unrestricted dog is therefore a direct
tax onevery citizen, and is a destructive
economic parasite.
Sheep are an asset to the community,

ThOrns In Our Side.

In the swelling symphony of the
awakening America there is still one
harsh. discordant note 1t comes from
the attitude which is still maintained
by the so-called Industrial Workers of
the World, brethren in rebellion against
law and order everywhere. Attempts
at interference with the workings of
the CONSUMPTION act, efforts to destroy
crops, and open hostility to soldiers
guarding plants in which government
work is under way-these and other
acts which are as reasonable as de-
liverance of our country to the enemy
would be are only some of the counts in
the indictment against these pests.
Deportation or long penal sentences
for the whole kit and caboodle of them
would be treating them with kindness.

The unrestricted dog has absolutely
no value, but is in fact liability and a

SHIFT THOSE MEN

There are numerous questions or interest on the up of many tongues concerning the findings of Assistant Sec retary Meyer and party their trip to the coal fields and over the government railroad.
 Prior to the outbreak of war; the Semi-ottclaI pro gram adopted in the minds of certain officials was to have the MatanuSka coal ready to ship about the time the ice goes out of Cook Inlet next spring With some of the work still to be completed along Turnagan Arm, this would give lame excuse to shipping coal via the Inlet transferring it from shore to ship by the eX penSve barge method.
 To foreStal this insure completion of the road and opening of the MatanuSka coal fields under practical panS pressure was brought bear by friends of the project early this year Some headway has already been made but there is still much to be done and it is to Mr. Meyer and his advisers that must look for immediate and most effective aid.
 The time when this project can be considered from local standpOnts and handled to benefit community over another, has already been done has passed.
 Coal is vital necessity.
 There are about 800 men working up the main line north of aanuska who could be shifted to the coal fields work between Seward and the coal fields and insure the opening of the road at least month earlier than they continue work not vital to getting the coal and why in the face of the shortage of labor and the crying demand for fuel for the Pacific Coast is not this done?
 Our Allies have learned by bitter experience that when something is needed at must be done. Half million men put at one task can be changed and put at another over night and the tOOs supplies and equipment on the main line north of MatanuSka be instantly cached and the men transferred to this end and put work of vital importance to the present need Later next year if necessary they be returned to work the main line nOrthWard

there and he shivered as he thought
of the picture he had presented.

led the way into the room used by Pitt

and gave one last look about the room.

kindly.

Welleston hurriedly, with a gulp in
his throat; "Ill send somebody to

Then, with long breath, he stepped
into the hall and shut the door behind
him. Almost without knowing why,
he tiptoed his way to the bar from
which door opened into an adjoining
room. And then he stopped in amaze
