and cows. They would yield return
but dogs yield no return.
The Arkansas Gazette. OF Little
Rock. in an editorial regarding the
cost OF dogs. says:
Hero in Arkansas shcep-rnisins 1,
Improbable because of the packs OF
vagraut dogs that may reduce or de-
s,roy the sheep-raiser's pront over
night by killing sheep and lambs. So
| il will be seen that not only do the
| dogs cost n StupendouS sum for up
keep, but they reduce the food supply
by preventing the raising OF sheep
and goats.
A correspondent OF the Baton Rouge,
La. State writes:
We are rather in sympathy with the
recomm cndation of Harry Wilson. COM
missioner OF agriculture and immigr
ton, TO the Governor, that he include
in his call for an extra session au-
thority for the General Assembly to
deal with the stray-doE subject. Mr..
Wilson is right. Louisiana can't have
worthless ours and valuable sheep.
two don't SO together in tho same
neishborhod. If Louisiana wants stray
dogs roaming over the land. seeking
what they can derour, then Louisiana
can't have sheep that provide wealth
through their wool and mutton. The
State should give up the cur and take
the sheep. A law TO prohibit stray
dogs looks like a rather trivial sub
ject for Legislature, sitting in special
session, to take up. but there is moth
ing more important than the develop
ment in Louisiana OF the sheep in
dustry. and the passage of the law Mr.
Wilson seeks is the initial step. I'm
I'll the prohibition he advocates against
dogs is set up, there can be no develop
ment OF the sheep industry.
WHAT is VIRGINIA
GOING TO DO ABOUT TIT
Other States and communities have
been heard from, and il would seem
mat real fight against the cur-dog
menace is being threatened. 1t has
been long time coming, but now that
IL is here, there should be no tagging
or falling back. Virginia is to elect
a new Legislature this year, and it
has become very fashionable in late
years for organizations and parties of
one kind and another to interroEate
candidates as to how they stand on GER
tain subjects. 1t may be that some
body Is going to question candidates
for seats in the legislative halls of this
old Commonwealth as to how they
stand. or would stand. on a bin in the
next Legislature providing for the ex-
termination in Virginia of the sheep
killing dog.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has issued for free dis
trfbution bulletins entitled THE Sheep
Killing Dog. and the Dog as a Breeder
OF Disease" Write for them or get
your Congressman to send YOU whole
batch OF them for distribution in your
neighborhood. They may. as the Record
says, cause you to realize fully that
the dog question is one of national
Importance, and OF especial Importance
just now in Virginia and the South.

UNWED MOTHER MAKES
CHARGE AGAINST WOMEN
DECLARES SOCIAL WORKERS OF
HIcAGo ATTEMPTED TO
"SEll HER OUT"-WIvES OF
WEALTHY MEN ARE PLACED
UNDER ARREST,
MRS. MARcELLus STAMFORD.


Chicago, Feb. 3.-Mrs. Marcellus
Stamford and Mrs. Margaret Bloomer,
prominent figures in the Young Wom-
ans Protective league and the wives
of wealthy Chicagoans, have been
placed under arrest charged with hav-
ing attempted to buy off Il 16-year-
old girl who sought to assure a name
for her unborn child.
The two women used the name Of a
defunct protective association to bring
about settlements OF cases in the courts
OF domestic relations and the morals
They interested several judges of the
municipal, circuit and superior courts
in the Young Womans Protective
league and then, according to Assist
ant States Attorney Robert L. Hogan,
used their standing as lever to be-
friend young girls in trouble only to
sell them out" to lawyers whose eli
ents were defendants.
Victoria Fortel, the child who 1t is
charged, was the latest prey of these
women, came TO Chicago from St Paul
a year ago. She found employment
at the North Shore hotel There she
met Frank Schram, 81 years Old q rail-
road brakeman. Last October she took
out warrant for his arrest, charging
him with having contributed to her
delinquency.
The girl insists that she invariably
told the women that she wanted to
marry Schram, that her child to be
might have a name. Then they took
her to the office of Schram's attor
ney. There, in the presence of Schram,
n To-
she was offered money to quit the
case and allow Schram to go free
PURELY PHILANTHROPiC.
Mrs. Bloomer wept bitter tears into
a lace handkerchief as she declared
that the activities of the Young Wom-
ans Protective league We're motivated
by the kindness of heart Of a few
women who had organized to protect
defenseless girls" She declared that
her interest in the Fortel girl was
purely philanthropfc.
Did you suggest $1,000 as a fitting
figure for a settlement" she was
asked
We'll, now, ! don't remember that,
but maybe l did" she replied at length
why do you suppose warrants were
obtained for the arrest of yourself
and Mrs Stamford, charging you with
conspiracy to obstruct justice In the
Fortel girls case?"
WHY" she snapped. IT'S the
viciousness and enmity of these people
around the juvenile and morals courts,
that's why. Every time I'd work on a
case they'd take the opposite side That
morals court is nothing but place for
legal pandering."
Mrs. Standiford Is as outspoken as
Mrs. Bloomer In protesting her limo
cence.

Believed German Plans In
clude Absorbing of Her
Allies in Kaiser's Realm
at Conclusion of War.

London, Feb. Announcement OF
the engagement Of Princess Victoria of
Schleswie Holstein and the Crown
Prince of Bulgaria, 1t is expected will
soon be made. The prince recently
visited Emperor William and had a
prolonged audience with him and 1t is
said that plans for the betrothal of
the two were arranged at that time.
The princess is a sister in law of
Prince August Wilhelm, fourth son of
the kaiser, and is known to be one of
the wealthiest princesses in her own
right in Germany.
STEP TOWARD CONFEDERATION
In entente circles the engagement
Is regarded as another step toward the
absorbing of Bulgaria by the German
empire. Unless Germany is decisive
ly defeated it Is believed the history
of 1871 will be repeated. In that year,
with the victorious German armies en-
gagged in siege of Paris. that the king
of Bavaria saluted King William of
Prussia as emperor of all Germany,
and he was so proclaimed at Versailles.
The recent trend of events in Europe
is regarded as indicating Emperor
Charles of Austria and King Ferdinand
of Bulgaria will follow the example
Of the Bavarian king and thus create
a new empire, extending fSom the
Baltic on the east to the Black sea and
the Mediterranean on the west and
Adriatic on the south.

Joan does some of these things at
Londonderry house; at all events, par

SPRING GOWNS TO BE

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Thirty girl models
are rolling and pulling In" these
days in preparation for the semi an
nual style show which will open Mon
day evening at the Strand theater
under the auspices Of the Chicago
Garment Manufacturers association.
The efforts on the part of the models
are made necessary by the new lines
of the spring gowns and suits, which
have lost all the billowiness and width
of former days and are making toward
the vertical.
This is to be a great year for sport
clothes, too, according to the predic-
ton of the manufacturers. Suits of
wildly checked, figured and striped
pongees and rajah silks will be seen

Let me remind congress than on

sinking of the steamer Sussex by
EGerman submarine without summons
or warning, and the consequent loss of
the lives of several citizens Of the Unit

remain at peace with the government

To this note OF May tho president
said Germany replied with the note
Jan. 81, saying all ships met within

NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE.
Il think you will agree with me-"
said the president, that In view Of
this declaration this government has
no alternative consistent with the dig
nifty and honor of the United States
| but to take the course which in its
note of April IS, 1915, 1t announced
| that it would take in event the Ger
man government did not declare and
effect an abandonment OF the methods
Of submarine warfare which 1t was
then employing and to which 1t pur-
poses again to resort to.
Il have, therefore, directed the
secretary of state to announce to
mis- high excellency. the German
ambassador. that all diplomatic
relations between the United
States and the German empire are
severed and that tn American am

The president then said he refuses
to believe that it is the intention Of
the German authorities to do in fact
what they warned us they will feel at
liberty to do. we do not desire any
hostile conflict with the imperial Ger
man government" said the president
I'VE are sincere friends of the Ger
man people and earnestly desire to
remain at peace wit hthe government
which speaks for them
NO SELFISH PURPOSE.
I'VE shall not believe they are hos
tile to us until we are obliged to be-
lieve 1t and we purpose nothing more
than reasonable defense Of undoubtel
rights of our people. We wish to serve
no selfish end. We seek merely to
stand true alike in thought and in ac-
ton to immemorial principles of our
people which l have sought to express
in my address to the senate only two
weeks ago-seek merely to vindicate
our right to liberty, justice and unmo-
Tested life. These are the bases of
peace, not war God grant that we
may not be challenged to defend them
by acts of wilful injustice on the part
