THE GENUINE
YELLOW PERIL" :"
NEW BRANDS DESCRIBED
BY FOUNDER OF YEL-
Low DOG DRIVE
EIGHT DIFFERENT TYPES.
DisrespectOrs of Government
Security Statesmen Are
Yellow Dogs

New York, Oct. 18.--The only real
"yellow peril" that confronts America
at the present time is from that type
Of citisen that has a Charlotte Russo
for q backbone, and that peril is very
real and very yellow and very varied
in species is indicated by the fact that
the headquarters of the Anti-Yellow
Dog Clubs, with branches in every
city in the United States, has found it
necessary to add to the original def
nitions of yellow dogism.
Henry Irving Dodge, founder of the
Nationwide movement to suppress
verbally distributed enemy propa-
ganda and who personally made ar
rangements for the entire finances of
the drive, has found that there are
other types of mongrel patriots be-
side those he originally described, and
word has been sent to the two million
members Of the Anti-Yellow Dog
Clubs to be on the lookout for the
newest crop Of "yellow dogs"
In an interview given to the press,
Mr.. Dodge says that when he founded
the nation Anti-Yellow Dog Clubs
and pointed the way to combat the
activities of the secret agents of the
Kaiser, he believed he had covered ev-
cry form Of conscious and sub-con-
scious disloyalty in the ten definitions
describing yellow dogism but, he says,
that phases Of yellow dogism develop
30 rapidly that one must be constantly
ON the lookout in order to be one hun
dred per cent American.
Dr.. DOdge's definition describing
the newest species of Yellow Dogs,
brings the nationwide campaign
against them right up to the minute.
The eight new types are:--
Anyone who shows disrespect to
q Liberty Bond or Thrift Stamp
salesman is a Yellow Dog.
Anyone who unnecessarily uses

gasoline on a gasless day is a

gasoline on a gasless day is a
Yellow Dog.
Anyone who dishonesty claims
exemption from the draft is n
Yellow Dog.
Anyone who growls about war
taxes is n Yellow Dog.
The rent pirate is a Yellow Dog.
Anyone who adds to the burden
by trying to make big profits out
of the war is Yellow Dog.
Anyone who over-eatS is n
stupid Yellow Dog--he's cheat
ing himself.
All Yellow Dogs are contempt
able but the worst are those who
hoard food.

systems pass to the postmaster gen
eral. as Of August l., In a conference
held in Washington, at which were
present the postmaster general, the
government operation committee and
representatives Of the Bell companies.
the postmaster general expressed most
enphatically his appreciation Of the
service which the Bell companies were
rendering and that such improvement
possible be made would be because of
the additional power derived from
the government. He asked for the CO..
operation and assistance of those who
had heretofore been responsible for
the service.
"The postmaster general was
equally emphatic in the statement of
his desire to conserve the service and
properties of the companies with a
view Of returning them when called
upon so to do to the owners in as
good condition as. received; that it
was his earnest desire that the own
ers should receive just compensation
in the full sense for their use. The

the conduct Of operations shall con-
tinue as heretofore, and also states
that no change will be made until

esting on every person, and is also
he greatest opening for future pre-
erment.N
