CANINE QUESTION
WORRIES ENGLAND

LONDON.-The government is
wrestling with the problem of what
to. do with dogs in view of the rap
idly diminishing stocks of food. It
seems pretty settled that the number
of dogs is to be reduced. There. are
hardly any dog biscuits left. and
no more will be manufactured, as
the low-grade flour from which thew
ere made is wanted for the textile
trades. .-.- -.
Bonar Law, chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, refused to include a heavy
tax on dogs in his budget which he
introduced in the last week of April.
His friends said that such a tax
would kill dog-breeding as an in
dustry, and would work unequally
between rich and poor. The poor
mans dog would be sacrificed while
the pampered Pekinese would flour
ish
Now the alternative proposal is
to prohibit the breeding of dogs
during the war except under license.
The effect of this would be to allow
the perpetuation of pedigree breeds
which have taken many years and
large sums of money to produce.
and also useful dogs like sheep dogs
and army dogs. The breeding of
mongrels and probably of purely
fancy dogs would be prohibited.
There will be no interference
with people who already have a dog.
they will in the future need all
their ingenuity to keep their pets
fed.

ARMY SURGEONS
PLAY SOLID PART
IN WORLD WAR


One of the unsung heroes of the
war is the military surgeon No man
has been harder worked in the ire
mendous fighting of the past few
weeks, and his work has been in
most cases far from pleasant.
There is not the same romatic
stimulus for the medical man that
there is for the infantry or artillery
officer. 1t is one thing to dash
about under fire intent on killing
or being killed; it is another thing
to dash about under fire and take
the same risks while calmly attend
ing to those with wounds from
which all other men as they pass
avert their heads. THANK God, |
am not DOCTOR" said an officer
who had been detailed to inspect a
number of improvised casualty clear
ing stations along the front during
a recent attack.
The regimental surgeon in the
British army has in his charge the
well-being of more than a thousand
men. When there is no fighting on
he has plenty to do. He has to
strike a happy medium in discour-
aging the faint-hearted, who come
to him as means of obtaining
fortnight's rest, and in holding out
a helping hand to those who are
in real distress If he is too lenient,
the commanding officer begins TO
ask whether he intends to deplete
the whole regiment; if he is too
harsh the junior officers and men
lose patience.
The doctor is the only officer
in the regiment, however, who is the
fortunate possessor of cart. but
this leads to numerous complica-
tons. There are some thirty-odd
officers in the regiment. and each
one of them has some few trifles
which must go in that cart. If he
is weak enough to take them. the
car is overloaded and before long
breaks down and precious medical
stores have to be abandoned. If he
refuses to take them his position in
the officers mess becomes we'll nigh
unbearable. = 4s]A
The doctor doesn't ride, but foot
slogs" it with his regiment through
the same mud, the same wind and
rain, and the same perils. His duties
are not confined to caring for the
i'll and injured. He must supervise
the sanitation of camps and billets,
ensure the purity of drinking water,
keep lookout for outbreaks of cpl
denies, maintain a continuous cam
paign of NEGOTIATIONS and vaccina-
lions, and fill out a long series of
records and army forms. He has
to do his utmost in the light of his
special knowledge to maintain the
health of his unit, and any remiss-

Five hundred Germans informed

ALIEN VOLUNTEERS

The attitude of thousands of aliens
in the United States who have taken
out their first naturalization papers
so as to volunteer in the American
army probably is defined in letter
written by an enlisted man in the
American Air Service to his rela-
tive in Swiss city where this
new American was born.
WAS it not my duty to aid in
this crisis?" he asked. "There can
be only one answer for me. The
world would not be worth living
in if the Germans should be con-
querors.
Friends in Switzerland of this vol
unteer, says The Associated Press
correspondent, had endeavored to
induce him to leave the American
army and had enlisted the influence
of the Swiss diplomatic service to
obtain his discharge. Learning of
this, the volunteer wrote to a Swiss
diplomat, saying:
''Since l have been in the service,
l have become firmly convinced that
l have done the best thing l could
and l have no intention of availing
myself of your offer" Ito obtain
discharge). Expressing to his Swiss
friend his convictions concerning
his resolution to fight for America
the volunteer wrote:
II feel that the United States
is fighting for good cause in op-
posing the INSCRIPTIONS methods of
warfare of the Germans. Up to a
short time ago l felt, while SYM
pathlzing with the Americans, it
was not my war or my business to
take an active part
Ever since my arrival in this
country (America) l have been we'll
treated, have had the benefit of
all the chances offered me and was
considered as the equal of everv-
body. Was it therefore, not nv
duty to lend my aid n this crisis.
II 1t was my intention to remain
permanently in this country; having
thought that l was fighting for a
good cause
There must be something to be
said on each side, but one comes TO
this question: Whom would you
like to have win? There can be
only one answer for me. And r.
Judge by the manner in which the
Germans have conducted the war
up TO the present time, one can saw
and believe that the world is NOT
worth living in if they should be the
conquerors.
I'm the opinion of the people of
TINS country and in my opinion.
germany is governed by clan pos
sessed of an uncomfortable desire to
conquer, or to put it better, to gov
ern the world, and, in order to at
tain this object its people will stop
at nothing. They violate the nell
tfalllty Of countries like Belgium.
they massacre the non combatants.
they conduct the most barbarous
submarine warfare, sink unarmed
merchant vessels and neutral vessels.

word"

WAR IS GIVING
STATES CHANCE
AS FUR MARKET

tentacle of German control in Amer
lean industry has been severed by A.
Mitchell Palmer the alien property
custodian.
! Under arrangements now being
| completed the custodian and the
Fur Merchants Credit Association
of New York City, the interests of
German fur barons of Leipzig will
be purchased by American mer-
chants and the money paid turned
| into the United States treasury to
be held until the end of the war
for the Germans involved.
In announcing the forced retire
ment of German interests in the in
dustry Mr.. Palmer said even rough
estimates of the enemy holdings can
not be made until all the fur deal
ers have reported balances due the
Germans.
"It may be stated, however" said
! the custodian "that the negotia-
tions just completed will root out
forever the last German dollar in
vested in the fur business in this
country, turn loose the American
furrier from the control of the Leip-
zig cabal and establish a great in
dustry here in America.
"Some of the larger firms which
have already readjusted their hold
ings under the agreement of the
government are Theoder, Thorer
Company, Gaudig & Blum and M.
S. Elias, Jr., Inc, among the best
known fur houses on this side of
the Atlantic. Many others are in
process of readjustment, including
Otto Erler Company, Fuchs & Com
pany, Inc, and Eisenbach brothers
Before the war the trade of
American furriers was practically
nothing but collecting and ship
ping agency for the Germans. AL
most every pelt taken by American
trappers had to go to Leipzig before
it could be sold. Leipzig dressers
and dyers were the best in the
world. None could compete with
them. Although London was the
worlds market, by reason of the
pioneer work of the old Hudson
Bay Company and far-sighted Eng
lish commission houses, three quar-
tiers of the fur shipped to London
from America, Russia and even
/ China went, after the auctions. di-
recto to Leipzig for dressing and
dyeing.
"At Leipzig each year after the
fur was prepared and the German
merchants had fixed the price for
that year, Americans were allowed
to purchase as much as three-fifths
of the entire fur produced for manu-
facture into garments, although in
so doing they we're forced to pay
a handsome profit for the Germans,
plus thirty per cent duty before
they got them back home. They
were constantly either indebted to
the Germans or completely under
their domination.
Mr.. Palmer said American fur
dyeing houses now are opeFatinG
in New York and that in St. tlouis
the attempt has been made shccesS
fully to dye seal skins, which pref
viously had never been doneNeutsids
of Leipzig and London. Fur Auc-'
tons also have been undertaken sue
cessfully both in St. Louis and New
York.
"When the war is over" Mr..
Palmer concluded, Germany will
again buy American furs, but these
goods will be bought in the Ameri-
can market this time, from Ameri-
can firms, and they will be Ameri-
can dressed and dyed, and prepared
for European consumption. The un-
natural trade conditions which
forced Americans to ship certain
furs abroad, to buy them back and
