WHEN PIGS IS PIGS AND
 A NUISANCE

"Pigs is pigs" and they can't read
 or else they might try to obey the
 law against stock running at large
 in the city limits. But their owners
 can read and write and have know
 ledge of the law. But there seems to
 be an owner of some pigs in the southwest part of town who is either as ignorant as his swine. with regard
 to law, or he is just honery. A resi- dent in the neighborhood of Fifteenth and Olive has been kept awake sev- eral nights by raids of his neighbours
 pigs. The city pig catcher speels at night so the pigs enjoy themselves un- molested. That is they have been doing so. But the patience of the citi- zens of that neighborhood is going to wear cut and their regard for the high cost of living may be forgotten if the pigs continue their marauding Then the citizens will take drastic measures and either pen up the mar auders or poison them, which would serve the pig-headed pig-owner right.

 WHEN HE FACES DEATH
Declares He's Not Afraid to Die in Chair, but Is Frightened as
 to the Hereafter.

Wednesday was preparing to become a Christian and a member ot the Roman Catholic church. in an effort to shave his soul from "eter' nal torment in hell," as he expresses it.
 "Now. 1 don't mind being put to death in the chair. That isn't bother ing me in the least. But somehow dur ing the last several days l have thought of a hereafter-and am afraid of what will happen to me af- ter I am dead. A priest will visit me before walk to the chair and we will pray that my soul~be spared"
 Daffron shows his indifference tc death in the chair, however. by never having once expressed fear of the thousands of volts that will be set through his body. He claims he has been sleeping regularly at nights, ano that he has no trouble ins passing the hours during the daytime.

Last Saturday General March, chief of staff, gave warning that the operation would cost something, but added that the government had as yet no knowledge of what it would be.
 From time to time the German off cial statements have attempted to cre ate depression and t..-ssc.sion in Great Britain's colonies by declaring that the Canadian and Australian troops were being sacrificed on the front lines. Then the German prop aganda turned to the French with in sidious statements that the French territorials, including the Sengalese and the Moroccans were being butch efed. A little later the same methods 1 were used in an attempt to inflame the negro population of the United States with statements that American 1 negroes were placed in the line of fire l to shield white troops.
 Today's statement is regarded as being wholly in the same class. When 1 the American casualty list begins to come in officials are confident it will not be inconsistent with the results nor with the sacrifices of the French

The Germans already are beginning to fear the American troops, and when they learn that the United States is preparing to put 5,O00,000 men in the field, as hinted by Secre- tary of War Baker, they will have more to worry about.
 When Germany begins tc doubt her own ability to conquer the world, the allies are beginning to win. When the kaiser realizes that for every al lied soldier killed or wounded in bat tie there will be two more to take his place he will begin to hunt soft spot to fall.
 New Teuton efforts for peace are evidence of the search for the soft spot. Constant rejection of any but unconditional peace terms will inn press the kaiser and his henchmen that the war will continue until he throws up his hands and says "I'll make peace at your own price,"
 Secretary Bakers hint that 2,OOo,- 900 American troops will be in France before the 1918 battle season is ov- CT, which means before winter sets i'll, means that the Germans will hard ly have an opportunity to regain the iniative. It also means an earlier end of the war. The more soldiers we put in France now means fewer next year.
 We must hasten and We must fight and fight hard. It we prepare for long war we'll wake up some morn- ing and find the kind of peace neces- sary to the welfare of humanity and mankind. We are just starting the march of victory To let up now would be to relinquish opportunities that may not come again in the future.
