in those towns which have an ordi-
nance of this kind already, that the
same be enforced.
We are of the opinion that bet
ter results would be obtained by
going to the legislature and having
a different rule of liability on the
part of the railroads established in
those cases where live stock is killed
outside of an enclosure. The law
on the subject now, with its appli-
cation by the courts and juries, prac-
tically makes the railroads insurers
of the life of every cow, calf, horse,
mule, or hog, which is running at
large contrary to law, and which at
a given time is tresspassing on the
right of way of a railroad company.
The law as now declared and en-
forced in this state is in line with
justice when stock is killed on a
mans premises and within an en-
closure where the railroad company
is chargable with notice to its where
abouts. We would not say that the
present law should not be applica-
BILE where stock is at large without
the consent or fault of the owner.
But when stock is turned at large
contrary to law, or when such stock
is running at large through the
carelessness of the owner, the rail-
road should not be presumed guilty
of negligence in the first instance
when it is killed. If the law de-
clared that there should be no recov-
cry for the killing of live stock un-
der the circumstances last stated,
there would be less stock running at
large, and consequently fewer ac-
cidents on railroads of the kind
sought to be prevented. There
would also be fewer jersey cows in
the country and fewer valuable
mules.

KEEP UP THE WORK.

The fact that Germany has signed
the terms of the armistice will have
q tendency to cause people to relax
their efforts in all war work. Peo-
ple are apt to think that the war is
over, and that there is nothing for
the soldiers to do but come home
and return to the places which they
occupied before they left.
But we should remember that the
war is not owed in one sense. True
it is that the terms of the armistice
have made it impossible for Gec-
many to renew the actual fighting,
if these terms are enforced. But
there is no power to enforce the
terms except the army and navy. If
we disband our forces at this time,
and if the allies do the same, Ger
many might renew the conflict at
will so far as our ability to prevent
it is concerned.
Therefore, our soldiers must re-
main under arms until the terms of
peace are settled. In the meantime
some of them will be called on to
occupy strategic points in Germany
to make a renewal of hostilities i'm
possible. Others will remain under
arms in France and in the other al
lied countries. France must be re-
habilitated. Order must be estab-
lished in Germany and maintained
there. The same is true in Russia
and perhaps in other countries. How
many of our men will be needed for
this work nobody knows.
And when the terms of peace have
been settled, and when there is
nothing more for the soldiers to do
in a military way we must remem-
ber that they cannot be brought
home in day. 1t will take weeks
and months, perhaps, for all of them
to reach America. They will be
gradually returned to the camps in
this country and mustered out. TO
= handle two millions of men in this
way is no small undertaking.
During all the time this is going
on the work of the Y. M. c. A., The
Jewish Welfare Work, the work of
the Knights of Columbus, and of
the other organizations represented
in the campaign of the United War
Work, must 60 on. To come to the
assistance of the soldiers is as i'm
portant now as it is when they are
actually fighting. Perhaps it is
more important, because with the
cessation of hostilities the men will
be more and more dependent on the
things these organizations do for
them. All of the money asked will
be needed, and all of it can be spent
with profit and good results.
We hope, there, that the people
in this city and county will respond
to the call made upon them for
these organizations as they have re-
sponded in the past to other patri-
otic calls.
We must not let up in our efforts
until the war is ended by the sign
ing of peace terms, nor until every
man is returned to his home.

London, Nov. 1O.-According to
dispatches from Amsterdam and Co.
penhagen the revolution in Ger
many is extending rapidly, but in
most places the desired effect is be-
ing achieved without violence or
serious disorders.
In some places notably in Anhalt,
Hesse-Darmstadt and Mecklenburg-
Schwerin, the princely houses are
cooperating with the reforming par
ties in establishing new order of
things.
Up to the present the most serious
conflict has taken place in Kiel. The
soldiers and workmen's councils in
most of the large cities appear to
be devoting their first efforts to or
ganizing the food supplies, foresee-
ing that any lack of provision in this
respect will prove fruitful source
of disorder.
Complaints already have been
heard in Berlin that the press GEN.

trarily by the new as by the old re-
gime.
