UNMUZZLED DOGS
PROWL ABOUT AS
YOUNGSTERSPLAY

Unmuzzled dogs still are at large
in the neighborhood OF Union and n
streets southwest where Frederick
GartreIl, six years old. was badly
bitten last week. At least six mon
grels were running the streets today
where children were playing.
Morris Silverman, grocer. OF 1872
Union street. says he has bought a
muzzle for his remaining dog. after
being fined $40 in the Police Court
IS for having no license for the dog
identified as having attacked Fred
erick Gartrelf near his home at 1919
Union street, and So for not provid-
ing a muzzle. Silverman says he al
ways muzzles the dog he still has
when 1t is on the he'street, and chains
1t when in the yard.
Won't Get Dog.
It will cost Silverman an additional
SO in pound fees to release his i'm
prisoned dog. so he says he probably
will not get it back.
Nothing apparently Is being done
by the pound officials to gather In
the many muzzled dogs in the vicin-
ity, whose owners probably are un
known Today six or more were
shopping around front stoops looking
loT IndnksEiN1nS Oinner.
Commissioner Gardiner. who favors
q high tax on dogs, Is constantly re-
ceiving letters mostly approving
SO tax. Some, however. oppose the
tax.
Dog Owners Fined.
Two cases against owners OF dogs
which were allowed to roam the
streets without EuzzIes Or leashes
were called in the Police Court today.
In one case q Cne OF IS was imposed;
In the other the owner failed to sp-
pear in response to the police sum-
mons, and = bench warrant was Is.
sued for him.
In hning John Higgins, of 1908
Columbia road northwest Judge
James Pugh, warned that ignorance
of the police regulations was no ex-
cuss for their violation He advised
Higgins to Immediately purchase a
muzzle for his dog.
The other case was that Of Thomas
Killehar, OF Tenth and Monroe streets
alleged owner. OF a dog
found in the streets without nuzzle
or leash. RilIehar did not appear in
court, and Judge Pugh directed that
the warrant be Issued for him.

THE INK FROM THE OCTOPUS,

An octopus has fastened itself on
North Dakota.
Its biggest, latest tentacle is
wrapped about the farmers Of the
state, and it sucks its chief nourish-
ment from them.
Another tentacle is feeling for the
retail stores of North Dakota, the
little country merchants, and it would
drain them dry, or force them into
bankruptcy for the benefit Of the
central stomach now located at st.
Paul.
Another tentacIe is reaching for
the country banks.
Another tentacle is trying to fasten
itself on the laboring men Of the
state, and force them to yield nour-
ishment for the central body.
The irony Of it is that some OF the
victims don't yet see that they are
being bled. but willingly help to fat
ten the creature that is trying to
destroy them.
When the octopus is wounded, 1t
releases an inky fluid to cover It's
movements, and prevent the attacker
reaching a vital spot. That vital spot
is the big central body. The Forum
has aimed blows at the central
stomach, and they have gone home.
The inky fluid is the absurd resolu-
ton of the state council OF defense
which Is published elsewhere in The
Forum tonight.
A touch of real comedy is added
by the local La Toilette organs lit
tie yeIp Of approval as it trots along
at the end of the leash held in the
st. Paul editorial sanctum. It's been
good and loyal for quite a little
while now, -bless it's little heart, so
it is entitled to squeak on an oc-
casion like this.
The Forum doesn't propose to dis
cuss its patriotism with the executive
committee OF the state council Of de-
tense for the same reason that a
decent woman wouldn't discuss her
chastity publicly. Actions are what
count and the strumpet is always the
one who proclaims her own virtue
the loudest. Neither does it propose
to enter into any mud singing con-
test with puppets of the Nonpartisan
league leaders. 1t has too many 9TH
er things to do. Publishing a news
paper is one OF them. Doing all in
its power to help win the war is an
other. Trying to do its mite toward
making the world a better place to
live in, is another, and it expects to
be continuing this work long after
the tentacles of the octopus have
withered, and its fiabby stomach has
collapsed.

GERMAN TREATMENT OF
CIVILIANS.

Anyone who has the stomach to
read more German war atrocities,
may find them recounted in a book
just published by the Committee on
Public Information.
1t is edited by a committee con-
sisting Of Prof. Dana c. Munro Of
Princeton university; Prof. George
c. Sellery of Wisconsin university,
and Prof. August c. Krey of Mime
sofa university.
The book evidently is the first of
series TO be issued. and it is devoted
to the treatment of civilians. The
information in it is gathered chiefly
from German sources. such as diaries
kept by German soldiers who have
been captured, copies of proclama-
tlons issued by German officers to
the civilians of occupied territory,
and official communications from the
German government. No attempt
has been made to collect evidence
from victinfs.' The object is not to
nauseate, but to convince that the
system of frightfulness is a definite
policy Of the German war machine,
against which even some of the Ger
man soldiers have revolted. Specific
acts of cruelty, which may be found,
ad infinitum in the Bryce report,
Prof. Newell Dwight Hills articles,
and many books published by in
vestigators of the German terror in
France and Belgium, are set forth
only when necessary to illustrate the
German system.
Cine official German proclamation
issued to the inhabitants of Lille, is
typical. Here is an extract from it:
"AI the Inhabitants OF the
house, with the exception of
children under II and their
mothers, and also of old people,
must prepare themselves for
transportation in an hour and a
halls time. An officer will de-
eide definitely what persons will
be taken to the concentration
camps"
This notice was distributed to
every house in the city of Lille.
Yet the same government, at the
Hague conventions in 1899 and 1907,
bound itself by solemn treaty to pro-
tect non combatant and conquered
lands. That may explain why it is
impossible to make peace with the
present German government,

NO MONEY TO
LOAN ON Land
Federal Board is Broke,
Congressman Steiner
son Discovers

Washington, Dec. 10.-The federal
farm loan board is out of money.
Representative Halvor Stevenson
made~this discovery when he called
on the members OF the board Satur-
day to arrange for the deposit of
farm loan funds in bank in o coun-
tv in his district where there was
no farm loan association. He was
told that there had been so many
demands for loans, which amount to
more than S25,0O0,OO0. that funds
appropriated to start the banks had
been exhausted.
The law provides that bonds may
be issued to loan district banks and
associations, but the Liberty bond
campaigns have interfered with their
sale. The farm loan board did not
want TO hamper the government in
floating the Liberty Loan by pressing
its bonds, and now has no money to
