The first team came back with a

Coach Holway shifter the first

We have a definite premonition that
before the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, in
which the above comments appeared,
gets through printing war news and
news of American accomplishments
on the continent, it may find there
is more truth than satire in its OBJ
servations.
Crossing the Rhine, that sacred
stream of the Fatherland, appears
quite impossible now. So much so
that it may be made a subject of jest.
But the Allies are only just beginning
their war. And the Germans have
suffered for three years from the
crime of their own making. They may
refer to their fortesses with ironical
sport. so sure are they of them. But
they were to be in France in two
weeks, and the war was to be over in
six weeks And they were to have an
indemnity and conquest in territory
that would startle the world. The An
zeiger has made many poor pre-
diction.

(By Associate / Iress)

Riverside, Cal, Nov. 14.--The i'm
pressions gained by the younger gem
'erations from campaigns advocating
kindness to all living things will have
a tendency to offset in their minds
the effect of the slaughter reported
from the European battlefields, de-
clared Matthew McCurrie. secretary
of the San Francisco Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, at
the annual convention of the Callfor-
MIA State Humane Association here
today.
The details of the "Be Kind to Ami
mails Week" movement, which has
become national institution, were
outlined by Mr. McCurrie. The dates
for the next "Be Kind to Animals"
week have not been set, but will be
announced in the near future by the
National Humane Association in New
ork according to Humane Assocl-
alton representatives here.
"Nearly every large city in the
United States" Mr.. McCurrie stated,
observed the week from April 10
to 81, which was selected for spe-
cial activity this year. Chairmen were
appointed in each state and they IN
turn appointed committees in each
city of importance" .
Mr.. McCurrie acted as state chair
man for California and designated 70
well known humanitarians in various
localities to assist in the observance.
During the week much space was
given the movement in the newspa-
pers, department stores donating a
portion of their advertising space to
call public attention to the activity
of the week, stories concerning the
kind treatment of animals were read
in the public schools and libraries, es-
saws were written by school children
for prizes, and large quantities OF
buttons and flags representing hu-
name subjects were distributed.
Lantern slides were prepared by
theatres throughout the state Wuar-
ter-cards requesting the public to re-
pert cases of cruelty to animals to To-
zeal societies wer edistributed and dis
