GERMANS FORCING
BELG|ANS To Do
MILITARY TASKS

Havre, Oct. S,-The Belgian
government has issued statement
saying that fro mthe coast to beyond
Bruges the male population between
Is and 45 have been brutally torn
from their homes and forced to la
Dor on German military work, The
statement says:
Belgium has been from the begin
ming, of the war exposed to outrages
of the German army. At the very
moment when the new chancellor is
proclaiming his anxiety for happi-
ness of peoples and his will to work
for the deliveranee of humanity, the
Belgian government receives news of
fresh eNcesses on the part of German
armies in occupied Belgium"

In the absence of specific law in
the particular case, Judge Mayfield
appealed to the Common. Law as in
terrreted by the higher courts to
settle the issues of the case. While
he found a Judge giving an eloquent
tribute to the dogs, he summarized
the legal status of the animals.
Legally he found: "A dog that is
so ferocious that he will of his own
disposition bite mankind in the
streets is a nuisance and may be
killed by anyone when at large.
"A dog may become nuisance so
that anyone is justified in killing him,
A person assaulted by a dog in
highway is justified in killing the
dog"
The city ordinances, the court
found, required dogs to be muzzled
if allowed to run at large. Unmuz-
zled dogs are to be kept in restraint.

'D0C BITING CASE
AR0USES COM 'ENT
FROM ALL CLASSES

FL Centro, or at least goodly part
of it, is involved in a discussion over
case which has just been settled in
the court of Justice Isaac Mayfield
While the case is unimportant in a
way, it involves the always pertinent
"dog question" and as a result two
camps have sprung up, one favoring
the dog against the man and the 9TH
er favoring the rights of the human
over the animal.
In his decision Judge Mayfield held
that Frank NJ Morris, who 'was bit
ten by dog lounging on a street,
was justified in killing the animal
Since rendering the decision the court
has heard from several dog owners
and animal lovers criticising him, and
some from the other camp praising
his step.
"Mr. Morris did not deny that he
killed the dog. the subject matter of
this issue, but said that he did kill
the dog after it had assaulted and
bitten him. said Justice MayHeld.
But in the face of citations of the
higher courts. and because of my per-
sonal knowledge of the dog nuisance
On the streets and of their predatory
when the owners failed
to place the restraint upon them re-
luired by law, did not feel justified
in holding MIR. Morris criminally for
the act and therefore dismissed the ac-

United States Mediator E. p. Marsh
Delivers Patriotic Address to Den
yer Mass Meeting at Audi
torium Monday Night

E. P. Marsh, former president of
the Washington State Federation of
Labor, now a member of the national
mediation commission, delivered an
address at the City Auditorium Mon
day night. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Mayor Mills. A con-
cert by the Fort Logan band and a
brief program on the municipal organ
preceded the speaking. Bishop Then
offered a prayer and the Rev. William
Organ made short talk
Mr.. Marsh sketched swiftly thru
the causes of the war and the rela-
tions between labor and capital pre-
vious to our entering the world con-
flict. OF that period he said that the
wrong relations between the two ele-
ments had been productive of spirit
of Bolshevikism, which showed itself
in the early days of the war in the
fight of the capital interests, in which
the workers had no direct concern.
President Solves Problem.
AFTER President Wilson issued his
statement of the war aims of Ameri-
for moment any danger of a large
industrial disturbance The state
ment of our war aims contained all
that anybody demanded, all that the
maddest dreamer of a new social pro-
gram could ask 1t proclaimed as a
rule of practice the philosophy of the
Galilean- 1t pointed the world back
on its course toward human brother
hood"
OF his practical experiences as
member of the mediation commission,
Mr.. Marsh spoke rather briefly. He
said that Werner e. Reed had earned
the title of chief radical of the COM
mission in comparison with the two
labor members He told of their first
big task, which was getting the cop
per miners back to work in Arizona,
and of how the prejudice of both em-
ployers and employees against federal
mediation was dispelled when it was
shown that the government was not
only demanding fair living standard
for labor, but was determined that
prices should be so fixed that the en-
terprises could pay the wage and re-
turn profit on invested capital.
Aids Factory Conditions.
He told of correcting factory condi-
tions in the interest of health and out
put; of correcting housing conditions
to prevent the extravagant turnover
of labor.
"The soul of America is in the max
ing" he said. I'VE shall get un-
dreamed of benefits from the war 1t
is the paradox of human efforts that
that which demands so much can give
so much. At time when we are
spending human life as we never spent
it before, we are placing a higher
value on life.
when the soldiers come back" he
concluded, "let them not come back to
nation of empty words, but to cit
izenship which has kept the faith Of
democracy and preserved for them a
nation worth coming back to and
worth living for"

in Metal Mines and Smell
tiers Thruout Country.

After a session covering two weeks
the twenty-third convention of Inter-
national Union of Mine, Mill and Smell
ter Workers is completing its work,
and very likely will adjourn Saturday
night.
Much constructive work in the in
terest of the organization was accom-
plished by the delegates and COM
prehensive program adopted which
mobilization of all mine workers and
mill and smelter works in the United
States and Canada into this one inter-
national union.
Delegates in attendance were from
such widely separated places as Alas
ka, Florida. British Columbia, On
tario, Washington and all the Western
and Southwestern states.
1t was decided to hold the next con-
vention in 1920. The session will be
held in Denver, the headquarters of
the organization. At that time il
is confidently expected that at least
800 delegates as the result Of perma-
nent growth of the international will
be here.
One of the pleasurable features of
the session occurred Thursday after
noon, when the entire convention ac-
cepted the invitation Of the city au-
thorities for trip to Lookout Noun
tain and Buffalo Bills grave in the
mountain parks. The trip was by
trolley to Golden and sightseeing cars
to the summit of Lookout. James A.
Burnett, manager Of improvements,
who has direct charge Of the mountain
parks system, was in charge of the
party. Expressions Of appreciation
and delight were heard on all sides,
and the statement was made by many
that such recognition on the part Of
city officials would not soon be for
gotten.

'In my opinion, there is no doubt
about the principle of social insur-

.We have substituted the justice of
insurance for the charity of pensions
in the army and we shall undoubt-

whole field of social problems to
which the principle of insurance can
be applied.
"Workmen's compensation has al
ready prepared the way" he added,
"and this gigantic undertaking of the
government for the protection of the
soldiers and sailors and their depend
ents by insurance instead of pensions,
is likely to lead US to a consideration of
all the possibilities in social insurance
as a means of protecting our workers.
