Bear Sent by Express

EXpreSSmen are not familiar, as q
rule with the delicate task of handling
black bears, and to assure proper
treatment for one that passed through
Fort Worth, Texas, recently instruc.
tions were posted on the side Of the
cage. They read:
"a pan and sprinkllng pot accom-
paniPS the shipment. See that the
bear is watered as often as possible
and given two loaves Of bread daily
If the weather is warm, take u hose
and sprinkle the bear"
And this in big letters: Bears
are wild and dangerous. Keep people
away from the cage"
The bear was consigned from gov
ernment agent at Yellowstone park to
Ray Lambert, commissioner of santa
tiOn at San Antonio. 1t took eight ex-
pressmen to transfer the cage from
one express car to another. All the
while the bear was keeping up such
roar and fight that travellers rlSked

RESOURCES GREATEST EVER
Never Have Been Equaled in History
of World-PowerfuI Navy Ready
To Go Against Foe.

Neutrality-suspicious. and potential
resources, which, all told, probably
never have been equaled by any other
nation in the history of the world, are
brought into the great war under the
American flag. Into the balance
against Germany are thrown a navy In
strength and efficiency among the fore
most afoat, an army comparatively
small, but highly efficient, backed by a
citizenry OF upward Of 10000 900 capa-
BILE Of military duty; Industrial re-
sources incomparably the greatest in
the world, already mobilized for public
service, and the moral force Of more
than 100, 100000 Americans awakened
to their country's peril and united be-
hind the President with a patriotic
fervor reincarnating the spirit Of '76.
Although much remains to be done,
officials believe the nations destinies
are secure now, no matter how stub
born or prolonged may be the pressure
OF German militRrism or how wide the
scope of German intrigue. The slowly
maturing preparedness sentiment has
borne fruit in military, naval and in
dustrial preparations which already
have put the United States on a de-
tense basis not even hoped for two
years ago. What more 1t will do, the
President believes, can be measured
only by what the Administration finds
will be necessary.

STRONG INFLUENCE OF PETS.
Manifestations Of Love for Them
Among Children First Signs Of
Growth Of Sympathy.

Discussing the influence OF pets on
children In an article recently printed
in the Michigan Farmer, n. A. Clapp
says:
among the strongest inclinatiOnS
and sentiments which we admire and
highly esteem I'm men and women, is
love, sympathy and a kindly feeling
toward others. Those feelings are
breathed into the lives Of the chill
dren by the mothers, while the chill
dren are very young, and the first Op-
pOrtunity offered for the expression of
those feelings is when they come in
contact with their pets. The children
love to fOndle their pets and tenderly
handle them just as they in turn have
been handled by their loving parents.
Their expressions Of love for, and ap-
probation Of, the pets, are sometimes
amusing to older people, but 1t is the
bud just forming. of Il beautiful flower
In the character OF the individual.
Such manifestations of feelings are
the first signs Of the making of agree
able people and they should be en-
couraged, but never blighted by harsh
and cutting remarks.
MANY men retain, as long as they
live, pleasant memories of the days
when they We're given a puppy and
allowed to play with II. Then when
1t grew up and became a companion
and friend wherever they rOamed. 1t
was their faithful servant that never
betrayed them. Later In life they
have awakened to the fact that no
matter If misfortune Overtakes them
there are two friends that will re-
main true to them and always mani
fest m unyielding love for. and faith
fulness to them-they are the dog and

American navy since the United States
is ready to enter the war. In a gen.
eral way it is known that by means
of nets, airplanes, trawlers and swift

has gathered in many German subma-
rines. The estimates in some cases
have been placed as high as 800. Dur
ing the first month Of the campaign of
ruthlessness it was reported reliably
here that the Entente chasers took 20

SPIES IN FEDERAL OFFICES

President Wilson's warning of German
spies even in our Offices of govern

learned that on several occasions trails
Of the German Secret Service have
been discovered within some of the
most closely guarded precincts OF the
executive departments.
Although officials do not believe that
access has been gained by the foreign
agents to any information of great i'm
portance, they are said to be con-
WINGED that not even the State Depart
ment. with its highly confidential diplo-
matte facilities, has been free from in
vasion. No evidence on which prose.
cutions can be based has been found,
it is said, but enough has been reveal
ed to prompt sweeping official in
