STRAIGHT TALK
(By Berton Brsley.)

We've got to get this fact under
our craniums, and keep it there in a
place where we can't get away from
it:
We're either Pro American or Pro-
German.
There isn't any neutral territory
separating the two classes.
All there is is fence-a fence of
thought and feeling and cold hard
fact-which divides the false from
the true, the disloyal bunch from the
loyal one.
Pacifsm, profiteering, sabotage,
seditious agitation, soap box oratory-
any and all of these things which
hamper the nation from going into
this fight with all it's strength of men
and money-are pro-German propa-
ganda, whether they are Hneant so or
not.
However honest may be the motives
of those who oppose the war, those
who stir up opposition to the draft
Ind those who say dscord and discon-
tent under the banner of free speech,
they are working for the kaiser and
not for America.
Criticism of the government for
lack of efficiency in conducting its
preparations, for dearth of energy o.
misdirected effort in doing the enor-
nous OBJ before it, is the truest sort
of loyalty and needs no excuses; but
the questioning of purposes, the i'm
of motives, the subtle and
vicious undermining of confidence
which many people who consider
themselves good Americans indulge
in, is sheer disloyalty and nothing
else.
Such folks are not good Americans;
they're agents of the kaiser just as
surely as though they drew pay from
the Wilhelmstrasse.

DOGS IN RECENT WARS

The value of canine help Of the
battlefield, particularly in connection
with Red Cross work, has come to be
recognized in all countries. No few
cr than six hundred dogs took part
in the Italian campaign in Tripoli,
hundreds Of wounded men who might
Otherwise have been left to their fate
being found by the animals and
duly rescued
During the Russo-Japanese war
the Russians employed hundreds of
trained collics in Manchuria, with the
result that numbers Of wounded men
were discovered who otherwise might
have escaped the vigilance of an over
worked ambulance corps.
In the Franco German war, both
sides employed dogs with great sue
cess. At the present time all the
great powers at war place high value
on the services Of dogs. Germany
alone has probably 10000 dogs mo-
biliZcd on her battlefronts, and the
Allies are training large numbers of
dogs for use in ambulance work, SEN
tlncl and guard duty, the carrying of
!""""'"h"s and the transporting and
conveying of ammunition and light
artillery.
II is in the search for and the re-
lief of the wounded that use is found
for the highest type of dog intellect,
the animals being carefully trained
not only to find wounded men, but
to indicate their whereabouts to the
ambulance corps

Where has there been any change in

of all is that the number of our sub
marines has been very considerably in

Effect Eelt in Every Port.

The effect of Germany's declaration
was felt in every port on the Atlantic
cost.
In the offices of British and French
lines it was said that to meet just
such an emergency as this the Brit
ish government has assembled a
large fleet of small. fast cruisers to
be used as Submarine chasers." These
vessels. said to number 5000, will be
available TO keep the sea lanes clear of
raiders and submarines and act as con-
Voys.
Shipping men pointed out that the
most obvious effect of the German
declaration would be the reduction in
the tonnage which the freight ships of
the European neutral lines could carry
on account of the increased space which
would have to be sacrificed to carry
coal and provisions for one continuous
VOYAGE from American ports to neu-
tral ports Hitherto neutral ships have
relied largely upon British ports to re-
new their supplies.
