SPEED UP
BY SARA EARL,
of the ViQiIantes.

It's all very well to daily
When the world has leisure hour,
But the man who can speed
When his country has need
Is the man with the balance of power

Quick action they often restrain,
But the loss of one day
Means some one must pay.
While our dear ones are dying in vain--
BRAVE MARTYRS OF FATAL DE.

Then speed up your action. wise rulers,
From bandage to ultimate cost,
For the man with a will
Who can speed up a bill
Is the man who is doing the most,

No matter II poem or gun,
Don't leave 1t to fate
Nor stop to debate,
But Speed upl and extinguish the

who would be lost without the help

Be on Watch for Enemies.
Scotland is great sheep-growing
country. yet it loves the dog; gives
him his due in life and reveres him
in death. At the castle In Edinburgh
there is little plot of ground where
the dogs of the Scottish soldiers are
buried; It Is n charming spot, and On
many little tombstones there are ten
der tributes to departed friends. In

little Skye terrier, and upon 1t, carved
in stone, an inscription to Robbie"
who refused to leave the church-yard
where his master was buried and died
upon his grave.
We want more dogs in America-not
fewer. They would be of great serv-
ice guarding ammunition plants; in
helping soldiers on guard at aqueducts
and bridges in ferreting out suspicious
characters, the forest rangers all over
the West would find them invaluable
In densely wooded country. Farmers,
shepherds, cattlemen and ranchers
need them; and the sncaking incen-
diaries, poisoners and devastators
would find their work much harder IL
there were more watchdogs on guard.
We must not part with our dogs.
One has only to read what dogs have
done and are doing in this war to real
ize the extent to which they can be
trained. 1t is said that the Red Cross
dogs can detect life in IL wounded sol
dier lying out in No Mans Land when
the doctors themselves are In doubt.
They carry messages through shot ana
shell; they bring up food and water
to the first line trenches, and many
brave man owes his life to the lntelli-
gence and fidelity of n dog.
In future when we read any of these
"letters from the people advocating
the destruction of the dogs-it would
be well to find out the names and ad-
dresses of the writer's and send them
to the secret service department TO
be Investigated. We have many scores
to settle against the Germans, and not
the least of them Is their insidious,
treacherous propaganda against the
best friend God has given To man.

Sabotage and
the Dog

By ISOBEL FIELD
OF The YiRfionfes

Has 1t occurred to anyone that the
numerous Trades against dogs that

of letters from the people" may he
of alien enemy origin? Why should
the same arguments against mans best
friend appear in New York dailies at
the same time they are coming out in
the newspapers of California. Texas.
Oregon and elsewhere?
What attracted my attention was
finding the identical letter in my home
town paper (Morning Press, Santa
Barbara. Cal.) that I had read in the
New York Globe. 1t was signed by
different initials but the wording and
arguments were the same. Dogs eat
sheep. We need mutton. Therefore,
all dogs should he extermlnated."
All over the West last summer there
were unusually destructive forest
fires; crops We're destroyed, cattle
poisoned. and a mysterious horse dis
ease appeared in many localities.
Though the evidence has not been
made public. 1t is common knowledge
of enemy aliens. The work was done
with n system that suggested German
efficiency, and was no doubt paid for
by German money. That being so, the
elimination of watch dogs would be
of immense Importance, and the only
conclusion is that the whole propa-
ganda is the work of our enemies.
They would influence us to kill our
own dogs for the convenience of Ger
man agents, who, without these guard
ians, would have a freer hand in sa-
botage.

of The Viationfes

1t was quite the grandest affair held
in Berlin since the signing of the
treaty of peace that had brought the
great war to an end, and everybody
that was anybody was there. Invita-
tions, indeed, had been almost fran
tically sought for n month, for 1t had
early become known that the host, his
excellency GrOssmOrden Schmidt, had
obtained, at an enormous expense, n
quantity of genuine blutwurst, which
was to form the piece de resistance of
the magnificent banquet of real food
that was to crown the occasion. After
years of substitutes the prospect of
once again tasting viands guiltless of
sawdust, acorns, clay, bone dust and
the unsatisfying, If clever, triumphs
of synthetic chemistry, had thrown
Berlin's new aristocracy into n state
of Joyous excitement scarcely ap-
preached in fervor since the nOw-long-
since and to -be-remembered-alw
sinking Of the Lusitania. So great was
the press about the entrance of Herr
Schmidt's magnificent residence that
fully an hour before the time specified
in the much-sought invitations it be-
came necessary to request extra police
women to restore order and to- some
times forcibly, dispossess the fortunate
guests of the baskets they had brought
with them.
Saves the Blutwurst.
An attempt to break into the kitchen
and make away with the precious blut-
wurst was foiled early in the evening
by Herrin Schmidt herself. whose
cries of alarm brought prompt assist
ance from Herr Muhlstein. his excel
lency's secretary, and n number of the
servnnts. Several captures were eff
fected. but as the marauders proved
to be well-knOwn members of society
no arrests were made. The ball with
which the gayeties opened was great
success, the grand march being led by
Herrin Grossmorden Schmidt and
Privy Councillor vOn Verletzung. All
went well, indeed. until 1t came time
to throw open the doors of the hall in
which the banquet, closely guarded
by n force of policewomen disguised
as guests. was spread. Thereupon
