Doc HERO FROM

He Comes to New York
Having Been Given a
Furlough of 2 Months

New York, Feb 23-Filax Of Lee
| wanna. a German sheep dog owned
| by Mr.. and Mrs. L. F. Wanrer of
Hampstead, L. l., is attracting the at
| tention and admiration of attendants
at the National Dog Show at Madison
Square Garden. FLAX has been
brought over from the trenches
where he has been engaged in Red
Cross work, through the consent of
the French Minister of the Interior,
the favor being granted to a.physician
for his services on behalf of the
wounded.
FLAX is credited with being the
savior of the lives of 100 French SOL
diers. He is four years old. He was
bred by M. Leroy at Maison Lattice.
With number Of other German
sheep dogs he was taken into the reg
ular army and trained in police, sentry
and Red Cross work. He knows moth
ing of fear and has no concern for
personal safety. In the opinion Of
one of the judges of the show he is
''the finest boned dog ever exhibited,
while his general conformation is, Of
the BEST So far FLAX has won
three red ribbons, taking second
prize because he has a snub nose
instead of long snout. The snub
is said by his owner to Indicate an
unusual development Of brain power.
The sheep dogs work at night.
After an engagement they go out
with soldiers to cover certain por-
tons Of the battlefield, each dog and
soldier searching for the wounded in
their particular section. The dogs
succeed in locating wounded who
would otherwise be overlooked. 1t is
told Of FLAX that he saved a lieuten-
ants life under unusual I circum-
stances! A company deploying
through a field ran into ambush and
with several others the lieutenant
dropped into a declivity. He was
wounded and crawled behind boul-
der for safety. When his comrades
escaped he was left behind and he
was overlooked in the search for the
wounded until FLAX came to him.
The lieutenant gave FLAX his cap.
The cap was recognized by the lieu
tenants comrades and following FL
lax back to the lieutenant's hiding
place the soldiers succeeded in res
cuing their comrade.
Mr.. Warmer was able to. purchase
FLAX because his owner found him
self unable to take proper care Of
him in the United States. Mr.. Wan
ner says he bought the dog with the
understanding that the, dog is on a
furlough Of a few months only and
shall be sent back to the trenches
when the time has expired.

SURPRISE in STORE

| From Headquarters Press Committee
Connecticut Association Opposed
to Woman Suffrage.)
The Plans made by the Connecticut
Association Opposed to Woman Suf-
srage to attend the hearing at Wash
ngton on the proposed federal amend
ment, making woman suffrage obliga-
tory On the states, have been given up
for the time being, because Of the in
ternationa1 crisis, the members acting
on the advice of the national council
This body sent word this month to the
President offering their services an
any way in which it can be of use''-a
renewal of the formal dedication of
the anti-suffrage organizations OF the
eparate states to the service Of
J America First" which was unani-
nously adopted by the board of ddrec-
ors on June 20, 1916 Here in Con-
ecticut, however, the work OF pre-
aredness' for the. hearings on the
uffrage resolutions to be held before
a committee is going steadily on, al
though the precise date Of the hear
ings are. not yet definitely decided
upon. .e.f= ,ss.s.,s ss
| The preliminary campaign i1aug-
l1rated by the anti-sllffrage society to
ducate the members Of both House
and Senate as to the true status Of the
demand for votes for women is now
completed, and for the past month the
directors of the state Society have
been busy preparing for the hearing.
Those who present the case against
suffrage to the committee will dis
close some surprising facts concern
ing not only the size of, but the
growth Of the sentiment against grant
ing the vote to women in this state.
Representing an organization of more
than 10000 women in more than 100
towns and cities Of the State, it is GER
tain that their remarks will carry
some weight for this reason, in addi-
ton to the logic Of their statements.
Never before has the sentiment
against suffrage been SO we'll organ
lied and so widely spread among the
Inhabitants of this State, as the COM
mittee will learn at the hearing.
Concerning the opinion that the "si-
lent sentinels' are doing some good
for suffrage in Washington, the edi-
toriaI opinion of the Waterbury Am
erican reflects the sentiments of many
in this State when it says:
Friends of the President are ap-
pealing to that bunch of suffra gists
who are picketing the White House
gates and promising to do big dem
onstration stunt on Inauguration day,
to let a poor man alone who is elm
| the throes of a tense International sit
uation.' We don't believe he cares
the least bit in the world about it. He
got their votes without doing thing
and he hasn't got to do a thing so fa1
as they are concerned but to do as he
| pleases.''
