WILL GET AFTER
 THE VILLIFIERS
To Enlist the Boys in Every Town and Village As
 Amateur Detectives.

TOT the SuppreSSloH OI The 1ellOW Dog" by the establishment in every municipality in the United States of a branch of the Boy Detectives of America.
 The Yellow Dog" according to Mr. Dodge, is the whining native son who constantly harps on German efficiency, of our fighting England's war, of it's being rich mans war, of the crime of sending our boys over there, of the impossibility of defeating Germany, of charging our Dollar a year. men with being profiteers of declaring. that a large percentage of war tax money goes to grafters and all the rest of the feeble minded twadd1e.'" "
 In making his appeal for the coop eration of the Mayors Superintendents of Public Instruction, members Of pa triotic societies, Scout Masters of the Boy Scouts of America and Y. M. c. A. secretaries MT. Dodge declares that "The Yellow Dog is a menace far greater than the German army. His attacks are concealed while the at tacks of the German army may be guarded against.
 "I speak conservatively," said MT. Dodge, when I say that every vel low dog is equal in strength to one in- fantry company in the German army. The lies of The Yellow Dog are sap ping the strength at home. They are gnawing at the foundation of attack and defence. They are working for the Germans and many of them don't know it.''
 MT. Dodge's plan for the suppress sion of '"The Yellow Dog" is outlined in his most recent work of fiction. In it he portrays the manner in which the boy power of a suburban town was harnessed under the name of the Boy Detectives of America" and the town was cleansed of yellow dogism without untoward friction and with out the use of the usual police chan nels. Now he wants the boy power of every municipality in America har- messed in the same manner in order to accomplish the same result nation ally.
 All that is necessary to make the campaign an accomplished fact, ac- cording to MT. Dodge is a few deter mined men-leaders of boys in every municipality who will take the trouble of explaining the details to the youngsters.
 The boys first are to be organized. They are to be regular detectives for the purpose of ferreting out ''The Yel- low Dogs" Every boy must keep his ears wide open for direct and implied attacks on the government and keep on the end of his tongue the one ques- tion How do you knoW?"
 The first move in the campaign is for some patriotic citizen to arrange for meeting with the boys and ex- plain to them just what the Boy De- tectives of America" is and the mean ing of the organization to the welfare of the United States. Then the club is to be organized. Every boy is to be given an official membership card and every member is to receive a sup ply of The Yellow Dog" cards to pass out to persons who pass along the feeble minded Twaddle."
 MT. Dodge, at his own expense, of fers to furnish membership cards and The Yellow Dog cards to the mem bers of every club that is formed.
 On the front of 'The Yellow Dog'' cards, printed in large type, are the words You're a Yellow Dog and on the reverse side are numerous descrip- tions of just what constitutes 'The Yellow Dog" Some of these enlight- ening phrases read:
 "If a man talks against the govern ment and can't back up what he says, he's yellow dog"
 'The meanest yellow dog of the lot is the one that stands up and hears his country abused without protest"
 Amy man who tells the govern ment about it's faults and how to cor rect 'em is it's friend; any man who tells the government about it's faults just to discourage, is a yellow dog"
 Anybody that says Colonel Wander hilt loaned France forty millions is a yellow dog He ain't got that much"
 Any man that won't buy a bond isn't willing to pay his share of the expenses of our brothers in the trench es who are risking their lives fighting for him. Can any yellow dog be vel lerer'n that"
 Anybody that says U. S. bonds dlll biIS SdI0Sl lHNVoIAlIOAlC HI tAC world is yellow dog"
 Anybody that says anything that gives the Germans a chance to write home an say this ain't popular war is a yellow dog. It's popular an then some"
 Anybody who talks peace by com promise is a yellow dog. Judas made a 505O peace with the devil. Every body knows where Judas got off"
 This is an American town. We're behind the government Swat the yellow dog"
 "All yellow dogism is made in Ger many"
 A supply of these cards should be carried by every member of the Boy Detectives of America and when he hears any person make a remark in- dicating that prson is in "The Yellow Dog" class, the boy detective should approach him with the query:
 How do you know?"
 Usually the person spreading the unpatroitic libel doesn't know. So and so told him. The winner is then handed one of "You're a Yellow Dog" cards. The reverse side enlightens him as to why he is a yellow dog.
 MT. Dodge declares this treatment soon will stop the unfounded stories now so rampant. Nobody likes to be tagged as yellow dog. Nobody likes to be ridiculed.
