If 1NDER the caption 'Merciful Dogs
 of War;" Ellwood Hendrick, in
 N> the Red Cross Magazine for Feb- ruary says:
 Dogs are never trained to scent out the dead. Their business is to assist the wounded.
 "There are canine sentries on duty on both sides in the great war, and dogs that are dispatch bearers. Marquis, a French dog, fell dead from bullet wound almost at the feet of group of French soldiers to whom he bore message But the message was delivered! And there is Stop of the Fifteenth army corps, the savior of many wounded, and Flora, of the Twelfth Alpine Chasseurs, merciful dogs of war with reputations for distinguished service. There are many Stops and FToras actively engaged in hu- manitarian service, and 1t is quite unfair for me to single out individual animals a conference of dogs of war would doubt less so decide-except as means of giv- ing typical stories of what are every day exhibitions of intelligence, devotion and self-sacrifice on the part of dogs of numerous breeds in the vast zone of bat tie.
 "The people in the warning countries are called on for many and varied con- tributions. The French war department has on record a communication from the father of family which poignantly illus trates this, for he wrote: T already have three sons and son-in-law with the col ors; now give up my dog. and vive la France!
 'In the campaign on the eastern front Lieutenant Won Wieland led party of men in an attack on the Russian trenches. Seeing the task hopeless on account of the Russian fire the officer signalled a retreat. Turning with the soldiers that were left he made for the trenches and safety. When he had covered less than half the distance rifle ball shattered the bone of his leg and down he fell amidst the still bodies of the men who had set out with him and lay there in the blood and muck and filth of the battlefield. The Russian fire was so murderous that no one dared bring him in. Presently a dark form bounded from the German trenches, rushed to Lieutenant Won Wie- lands side, grasped his coat between his teeth, and foot by foot. dragged him to safety. Once, but only for moment. did he loosen his old, and that was when bullet creased him from shoulder to flank The blood gushed from the wound but the dog took a fresh hold and finished his job at the edge of the trench where willing hands lifted the lieutenant down to safety. They had to lift the dog down, too, because just then bullet broke both his fore legs. Tt was the lieutenant's dog Steif that, when his masters hour had struck, gnawed through his leash and rushed to him. There are evidences that Steif is partly of great Dane breed, partly mas /, tiff and partly hound, but the rest of him is pure dog miscellany.
 Man and dog were both taken to the hospital and the surgeons worked as hard over the one as they did oyer the other. Then one day. when His Majesty made his rounds. they brought steif in on 2

"wANDERLUsTERs.
From Golfers.

The city of Washington has perfectly informal, free-for-all club known as the Wanderlusters. The sole qualification for membership (there are no dues) is the de- sire and the ability to walk. A leader is appointed who maps out the route. the To- cal papers announce the time and the meeting place, and all who wish to join in the ramble have only to be on hand at the designated spot on Sunday after moons. This club is boon for the timid and the lonely.

 The pay of retired minister will be based upon his salary at the time of retirement, but the minimum will be $500 year and the maximum $2OOO.
 While the fund which the church has raised is large, yet in order to carry out the provisions of the plan each parish is expected to contribute annually per cent of the rector's salary to the fund.
 The Protestant Episcopal church has greater wealth per capita than any other Christian denomination, but the greater membership of the Meth odist, Baptist and Presbyterian churches, respectively, should enable them to equal if not surpass their Episcopal brothers in raising pen sion fund. Certain it is that the eff fort is worth making. It is humane and Christian. How would it do for the Methodists, north and south, to celebrate their coming together in or ganic union in 1918-nearly 6,O0O,O00 white communicants-by raising a 6,Oo0,oOO or $7,o0O,OOO pension fund to be managed on scientific actuary plan?

Mnde Good with suffragists

"Mr Frank Willis Barnett's speech to the suffragists Tuesday was one of the cleverest short speeches I have heard In long time,' said Mrs. J. T. Slater. 'It makes the suffragists feel good to know that they have such an orator, and person so thoroughly conversant with the subject at hand, and yet withal so influential, to espouse their cause l heard a numb CT of women who heard Mir. Barnett speak say that they enjoyed his talk more than any part of the conven- tion.' I do not think suffrage needs any better argument than to have as one of it's followers and devout advocates such man as MT. Barnett"

HOTEL LOBBIES
Suffrage in Atmosphere

Never have we received a more hearty welcome than We have received in Bir- minghafn," said Miss Annie Doughty. one of the prominent suffragists conducting the suffrage school in Birmingham. T think it was indeed fortunate that Bir- mingham could have a whole week of suffrage It's good thing to get suf- frage in the atmosphere. Every time you hang up a Votes For Women" flag or a Ballots For Both'' streamer just think that it's going to put at least one per- son to thinking seriously on the subject, and that there is a great possibility that it will make at least one convert to the cause. The significance of & little piece of yellow ribbon or bunting is inn portant, and when whole town Is dec orated as Birmingham is for suffrage week. it means a lot to the cause"

It seems to me there ought to be a work in binding together more closely in helpful counsel the merchants whom they represent. It would have an opportunity to teach them friendlier spirit of CO., operation, that their business interests are mutually interdependent, that an injury to one group hurts the community. By so doing they could show the public that advertising pays in more ways than in dollars and cents--that there are big ger and better things for which to strive than money alone.
 Edward N. Hurley, in his volume. Awakening of Business" which is the book of the hour in the business world, pleads for cooperation It surely is high time for wise men to learn the fallacy of the time-worn saying that "competi- tion is the life of trade" I am with those who stand for the newer and saner idea that cooperation, based upon a proper regard for the public welfare. re- suits in the long run in bigger profits for business.
 I'm often asked what is my status on The Age Herald. Call me associate edi- tor, publisher. general manager. care not which. for if titles could make a newspaper man my success would be as- sured. I'm all of these, but if you fail to put me down as an ad writer I will surely get mad. I want to be classed with the boys who are helping to feed every mothers son of us on the paper.
