Can You Beat It?

It develops that newspapers are pro-
hibited by the federal laws from
printing pictures Of the United States
flag in their columns, the state de-
partment Of justice having so held in
an Iowa case, the clause of the statute,
which provides that no flag or repre-
sentation of flag shall. be printed or
stamped on any article of merchandise,
having been held applicable in the case
of newspapers. This again illustrates
how fool or a crank may get in his
work in law-making body when the
people aren't looking. Red Wing

AS to Immortality.

Victor Hugo entertained no doubts
as to the immortality Of the soul.
Among his writings he left this tes-
timony, which modern scoffers may
we'll read and ponder: ~ feel in my
self the future life. I am like for
est cut down.; the new shoots are
stronger and likelier than ever. am
rising, I know, toward the sky. The
sunshine is on my head. The earth
gives me it's generous sap, but heaven
lights me with the reflection of un-
known worlds. You say the soul is
nothing but the resultant of the bodily
powers beginning to fail? Winters
is on my head, but eternal spring is in
my heart" -Preston Times.

STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
 PROTESTS DRAFT ESTIMATES
Insists Connecticut Should Receive Credit for Excess Requirements if Second Call for Men Comes.
Especial to the Herald.

Hartford, August 4.-In a letter set ting forth in detail facts indicating that Connecticut's quota in the first draft for the new national army is greatly in excess of. what 1t should be, the Connecticut State Council of Defense has written to Provost Mar shal General E. H. Crowder making respectful but most urgent request that steps be at once taken looking to different and more equitable ap- portionment in ensuing draft levies," and at the same time strongly in- sisting that due credit should be given to the state of Connecticut in sub- sequent levies for the excess number of soldiers to be furnished by it under the inequitable and unfair basis of contribution heretofore used"
 The letter contends that justice to this state can be had only by means of credit to be given when future quotas are levied-this credit to be equal to the number in excess of Con- necticut's fair allotment apportioned to this state under the first draft. The Council of Defense estimates that this excess is at least 4,000.
 The Connecticut State Council of Defense unanimously voted two weeks ago to send this protest to General Crowder, but inasmuch as 1t desired to do nothing that might delay the calling of the first increment for the new national army. the sending of the letter was delayed until now.
 The Letter of Protest.
 The complete text of the letter of the State Council of Defense to Gen. eral Crowder follows:---
 Provost Marshal Gen. E. H. Crowder.
 War Department.
 Washington. D. C.
 Dear Sir: We beg to sutmit here with certain statements and consid- erations which we believe demon- strate beyond question that methods recently employed by the war depart ment for allotting the draft quotas among the several states worked & great injustice to the state of Con- necticut.
 Tn view of the facts and conclu- sions' hereinafter set forth we feel warranted in making 8 respectful but most urgent request that steps be taken at once looking to a different and more equitable method of oppor- tionins the ensuing draft levies, and at the same time we strongly insist that due credit should be given to the state of Connecticut in subsequent levies for the excess number of sol- diers required to be furnished by it under the ineQuitable and unfair basis of contribution heretofore used.
 "Connecticut, during the months of February, March and April, 1917. made a complete census of it's male population beyond the age of 15 years and has preserved the records of that

While the first district will begin the actual draft next week, it Is hardly likely that the second district, com prising the second fourth and sixth wards will begin to call the eligible men before Monday, August IS. Stephen Robb, clerk of this board, stated this morning that, due to un- foreseen difficulties. the routine work has been hampered so that the actual call for men will very likely be post pOned one week.
 Schedule For Examinations. ,

 Charles Edward Russel said the task of new Russia was greatly hand icapped by German propaganda.
 Most of the trouble, however has been caused by Russians naturalized as Americans who have returned to

FOUR NOW TAKING
 PASTEUR TREATMENT
Hydrophobia Epidemic Is Worse Than Was at
 First Thought.

Four cases in which there is every reason to believe that the patients are infected with the deadly hydrophobia germ, as a result of being bitten by mad dogs during the past week are known to the board of health. Of these cases pr. Henry T. Bray has already gone to New York to undergo the treatment at the Pasteur institute and two other victims on Cherry street are planning to go there imme- diately. Upon receiving positive in- formation last night that in each case the victim had been bitten by mad dog. Dr. T. E. Reeks, superintendent of health, got into immediate com munication with the hospital author1- ties and a telegram was dispatched to New York for anti-hydrophobia ser um which. if used in tme is effective in preventing fatal results. The serum is expected today and will be used at the local hospital on three patients.
 Three dogs that had bitten people earlier in the week and had been killed by Dog Warden Coffey were ex- humed yesterday by Dr. George T. Crowley and the heads were sent to Middletown to the state laboratories. The finding of the surgeons there showed that in each instance the dogs had been suffering from hydrophobia and therefore the persons bitten arc undoubtedly affected.
 This morning J. M Whittlesey, commissioner on domestic animals sent formal notice to the city stat ing that effective at noon on August 9 all dogs must be muzzled. Dogs found without muzzles will be ! promptly taken and killed by the au- thorities.
 pr. Reeks, also issued a warning today advising people to watch their dogs carefully and not to hesitate In case suspicious symptoms were noted. There Is no way of telling what dogs have become infected with the hy- drophobla germ during the past few days. The doctor called attention to the great fear which the public has for small pox, infantile paralysis and other similar diseases, but explained that none of these compared with hy- drophobia. Unless proper treatment Is given in time, hydroph obia is posi- lively fatal to the human being ana can be transmitted by the slightest scratch from an infected animals teeth.

STATEMENT BY HOOVER
President Out Of Patience On
Account Of the Time
Killing Delay.

A senate agreement to vote on
President Wilson's food control bill
on July 81, five weeks after its SUBJ
mission to congress as an urgent war
measure, was followed Tuesday by
issuance from the white house of a
detailed report by Herbert Hoover,
declaring that both the farmers and
the public are threatened with serious
losses unless food control authority is
given quickly to the federal govern
ment.
Democratic senators secured the
agreement for vete only after they
had consented to strip the bill of some
of its most drastic features, including
the stringent prohibition provisions.
So far-reaching was the legislation
demanded, in fact, that all day con-
ferences of the democratic steering
committee and the agriculture COM
mittee resulted in the presentation of
a substitute for the entire measure.
With the whole Legislative situation
up set ia the senate the leaders ex-
press doubt whether action can be
taken under any circumstances be-
fore Saturday of next week, the date
set for the vote. The substitute bill,
drawa by Chairman Gore of the agri-
culture committee, was taken up by
the committee as soon as it was sub
mitted and some progress made in its
consideration. While the committee
is continuing its work the senate will
debate general features of the legis-
latioa.
