coRRALs FOURTEEN DOGS.
Warden Finds Vioiators of State Or
 der in Attawauean.

In the roundup that has been under way during the past few days, Dog Warden Michael H. Grimshaw of At tawaugan has captured 14 dogs that were not being kept confined in ac- cordance with an order issued a few weeks ago or were otherwise made subjects for capture and imprison- ment-
 It is probable that these dogs will now be required to offer their lives as a. sacrifice to science-or barbarism, as one will-for they are to be crated and sent to New Haven. where. it is understood, the effects of a gas that may be used by United States forces in France against another animal-the Beche-will be tried upon them
 Allowing dogs to go unconf1ned will not be a good practice to follow in the. town of Killingly hereafter. The order made by the commissioner of domestic animals is to be enforced.

PREPARING FOR THE CALL.

Apparently everything is ready
now for the calling to the colors OF
the men needed 10 fight Germany
within but a short time the list OF
men selected at the first drawing will
be published and the board provided
will pass upon their cases.
According to the regulations there
has been every effort made TO keep
the drawing FREQ from favoritism.
There is apparently no chance for
political OF personal pull TO relieve
n man OF his duty and thus graduate
him into the Stacker class. None OF
the local boards will be permitted TO
pass on the case OF any relative, and
IN face OF the proclamation OF the
President which admonishes thom
ito remember that they are called up
on TO adjudioate the most sacred
rights OF the individual and To pre-
serve untarnished the honor OF the
nation" thely will not go wrong.
In this instance. too. the fate OF 80
many men rests In the hands OF the
board that every citizon who has a
member OF his family liable for rerv-
ice. will follow the action OF the
board carefully. for II an undersery-
Ing man seeking 10 fraudulontly es-
cape from service succeeds. one OF
ia kin may have to 40 In his place,
Wore a cry of favorltism In tho se-
lectiye service TO be raised no momber

proven. The mombers of the boards
all realize these things. They know
that on thom will be conferred the at
tntion OF all poplo aud were they not
inspired with the spirit Of patriotism
which has marked every step 30 far
taken by tho authorities of oregon.
they would still hesitate before
trining with the law.
And this is as Il should be for not a
breath OF suspicion must follow any
action OF the boards thruout the ma
tion to uphold "untarnished the
honor OF the nation"
