Call N auies to
Aid IN Final
Fight
By Carl D. Groat

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.
Washington, April 10-Pressure
for naval offensive to supple
ment the costly battling on the
west line is manifest anew in army
and navy quarters. There are those
among the navy officials who pre-
dicted today that more aggressive
sea action will come before July
/, though they did not venture to
forecast its magnitude. Such as
entertained this view pointed out
that America has supplemented the
British navy with battleships, sub
marines, destroyers, and in fact, all
types of naval craft. This, TO their
minds, was significant of plan
for more aggressive steps than
simply warding off the submarines
after they got out of their Ger
man nests. One official whose in
sight into naval affairs is recog-
nized as especially keen, express
ed the view that the allied navies
would attempt a stroke at Zee
brugge, Wilhelmshafen or, perhaps,
the Teuton stronghold Heliogoland.

without a muzzle.
"There is no choice for us to ques-
ton this order Chief O'Hare stated
this morning. cit is not an ordinance
of the city, but an order of the State
Board OF Health and it must be en-
forced under heavy penalties. The
people Of the city have been given
fully ten days in which to get the dogs
muzzled and we have positive instruc-
tions from the state to proceed with
the slaughter. The police officers have
been ordered to go to it with the under
standing thai no Partially will be
shown to any dog or any owner Of a
dog. Kenosha county must do her part
in maintaining this quarantine estab-
hshed by the state and the only way
that it can be done is to kill the dogs
We hope that few killings will be
all that is necessary to impress the
people that this state order must be
obeyed to the letter
