Estate MAY
| LICENSE Dogs
Money Collected to Be Used in
Paying Losses to Sheep, Cattle
and Other Property

A license for the farmers dog is
provided for in a new bill which has
just been offered in the upper house
at Madison by Senator J. Henry Ben
nett of Viroqua. The bill makes the
law compulsory upon the counties.
The measure provides that on or be-
fore the first day of May each year
the owner of any dog shall apply to
the clerk of the town, village or city
for a license. The fee to be charged
shall be 81 for male and 81 for a fe-
male. All fees thus collected shall
be sent to the county treasurer for
deposit in separate fund.
The fund built from these license
fees shall be used to pay damages
done by dogs in the killing or running
of sheep, fowl cattle, swine, horses
or other live stock. Persons suffering
such damage shall within ten days
file an application with the town or
village clerk. The clerk is directed
to Immediately notify the mayor, pres
ident of the village or chairman of the
town board. When the damage ex-
ceeds $40, special committee must
be appointed to appraise the extent of
the damages. These claims shall be
paid out Of the license fee fund.
If there shall not be a sufficient sum
to pay all such claims, then the claims
shall be pro-rated. If after all claims
have been paid there shall remain in
the fund an amount exceeding $500,
the amount shall be transferred to
the general fund. Persons who shall
neglect to take out licenses for their
dogs are subject to heavy penalty.
The bill is urged by the live stock
associations Of the state, especially
the sheep growers, who claim to suf-
fer the greatest loss because of dam
age by dogs. When La Toilette was
governor an attempt was made to
place tax on dogs to raise tax mon
ey, but this was vetoed. The present
laws are not sufficiently adequate to
protect animals, according to AS
semblyman Woodland and other farm
er members who favor the bill.

GERMAN PEACE
AIMS A SECRET
Chancellor Won Bethnnann-Hon-
veg Declines to Publicly Dis
cuss Intentions
ANNOUNCEMENT NOW, HE
HOLDS, QUITE PREMATURE
Denies Request of Socialists and
Conservatives; Says England
and France Not for Peace

In one of the most vigorous and
plainspoken speeches he has yet made
before the reichstag since the out
break of the war, the imperial chan
cellor yesterday bluntIy refused to
enter into a discussion of Germany's
peace aims as demanded in Interpret
lations by the conservatives and So
ciaIists. Doctor Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg asserted that these calls for the
government specific peace program,
the announcement of which would at
the present time not only be prema-
ture, but which it would be difficult
to formulate, would be Of no practical
service to the nation in the present
situation.
"Nation Rallies Round Emperor"
While approaching the passionate
desire of all classes to know the gov
ernment's views, the chancellor plain
" declared that he would not permit
himself to be swayed by pressure
from any source, and that he was not
under the spell Of any party or clique.
The best interests Of the nation, he
believed, demanded that the reticence
he had imposed ON himself in the face
Of continuous clamor since December,
1915, should be observed by him until
the moment was ripe. He was sure
that such course would be Endorsed
by the nation at large, which contin-
ued to rally around it's emperor, and
would also meet the views of the ma
jority of the members Of the reich
stag.
The chancellor then reviewed the
present military situation and Ger,
many's relation to the neutrals in the
course of which he warmly praised
the attitude adopted by Spain.

GERMANY CANNOT WIN
WAR OF SUBJUGATION''
Announces Intention to Take
Steps Preparatory to Forming
Teuton Republic

The socialist leader, George Lede-
boUr, declared in the reichstag yester-
day that it was impossible for Ger
many to win war of subjugation, and
expressed the conviction that revo-
luton must happen in Germany as it
had happened in Russia.
eve shall propose a constitutional
committee" he said, "to take prepar-
atory steps in the direction of intro
ducing a; republic in Germany.
"The chancellor doubtless desires
annexation, both in the east and in
the west. With the exception Of ex-
travagant Missionaries, nobody believes
that Germany can win war of subju-
CATION. The Russian socialists have
made an offer which opens up the pos
sibilities Of peace.
Herr Scheidemann must take up
cudgels against the government if he
does not want strong words which do
not shrink even from the announce
ment of a revolution, to be followed
by deeds. We are convinced that
events must happen in Germany as
they have happened in Russia"
Scheidemann Also Warns House
Another significant feature of the
session was the introduction into the
remarks by Philip Scheidemann, the
social-democratic leader, and George
Ledebour, the Independent socialist,
of references to a possible revolution
in Germany. Herr Scheidemann In
timated that if the British and French
renounced the idea of annexation, ard
Germany insisted on annexing terri
tory, there would be revolution. This
resulted in indignant reputation by
a large section of the house, and Herr
Scheidemann FASTENED to say it had
not gone so far as that yet.

SINK U-BOATS
LONDON HEARS

The report of the weeks losses
through submarines to be issued
soon at London will be the most
favorable in several weeks. The
number of ships torpedoed is well
below the average, while the num-
Der of ships escaping attack is
very large.
Those in touch with the anti
submarine campaign also are
very cheerful over the results of
actual attacks on submarines
which have been pushed with the
utmost vigor during the fine wealth
er of the last fortnight. This
has been particularly favorable to
aeropiane activity. According to
one report, more submarines have
been sunk in the last week than
in the month previous.

ALL EXEMPTION BOARDS READY
BUT BREATHITT

Frankfort, KY, July 16-The Breath
lit County Exemption Board is the
only Board in the State which has not
organized and started work on ex-
emption claims. Alfred Russell, Coun-
ty Clerk, has refused to cooperate
with the other members of the Board.
Governor Stanley today had advices
from Washington to the effect that any
member of the Boards of Exemptions
failing to assume his duties is subject
to one year Imprisonment on the
charge of misdemeanor. After a
Board has organized members declin-
ing to serve may resign, but this can
not be done until after an organization
las been perfected. Governor Stanlay
is also in receipt of wire from Wasli-
ington stating that no more appoint
ments to Exemption Boards will be APP
prived at the present time which
means that the members appointed
must serve.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
today notified Governor Stanley that
every Exemption Board In the coun-
try will be at work by Tuesday.
