A Plague Of Dogs.

Shepherdstown is suffering from a
plague OF dogs-curs OF every degree that
are more numerous than they have been
for many years. They have become an
iutolerable nuisance and have caused a
great deal OF annoyance and loss recently,
devouring chickens, attacking sheep near
town, frightening children and misbe-
having in general. Some OF these are
just the ordinary plain town ours, but in
addition there are many strange dogs
that have strayed here or followedttheir
masters from the country and failed TO
90 back home with them. There have
been so many complaints about the
plague OF dogs that our town officials
have concluded to get rid ofthe nuisance.
The law requires that every dog must be
assessed md tagged, but not one is on
the book. The council has appointed
g. W. Fer ell as special officer TO deal
with the subject, and those who wish to
keep their CANNES should al once procure
from him license and a tag. Any dog
appearing on the street without tag will
be taken 10 the pound and kept there Tor
seven days. II moi redeemed by that
time il will be put TO death. 1t is time
thdt something is oeing done in the
matter, and our town authorities are to
be commended for their action.

The Shepherd College basketball team
won its greatest victory OF the season
when il defeated the Pennsylvania State
ForeSters last Saturday night in the GYM

bring a good team-iine fellows who
play the game scientifically and as clean
as it can be made. We have beaten them
only once in the past, but Saturday night
Shepherd College won another handsome
victory. Our youngsters were as agile
as squirrels and as quick as creased
lightning, and they got over the floor in
unconquerabIe style Pyles led in field
goals, shooting seven, and Snyder was
next with five. Fulton shot the ioul goals
in fine style. We led IN the first half and
got still further ahead in the second, the
final score being 81 10 l9. 1t was al
together fine game and we were ex-
ceedingly proud OF the Shepherd College
team. We will play the Hagerstown

Iron Cross Is Held
Cheaply by Germans

Lawrence, Mass.-Sergeant Mat
thew c. O'Brien, in writing to ills
sister, sends a certificate he got from
a German prisoner emitting the Gsr-
man to the Iron Cross.
The fact that the prisoner was
easily led to part with the piece OF
paper honorirg him shows, the ser
geant SAYS. what a German private
thinks of the Iron Cross. The pris-
oner confded that the Iron Cross
and other medals of honor in thc
German army are not held as high
by the men as one might think. The
prisoner said that as the war goes
On they are getting less popular
every dag.
Translated, the certificate reads as
follows:

and said he knew his time was near.
The army had no meat except the
artillery horses killed by French
shells, he said, and he had had a
quantity of French wheat, which he
found growing in the fields covered
by the German thrust, threshed and
was sending it back to his family
in Germany.
"One of the American regiments
found three women in uniform in one
of the captured French trenches.
Whether they were fighting or not l
do not know. But generally speaking
l believe the German manpower is
running low and l am certain the
morale of the troops is breaking.
know the Germans were driven by
their own men with machine guns
across to our side of the Marne and
/ know that those we did not kill
were captured. None of them ever
got back and most of them seemed
glad to be out of il. They believe
that the cause of Germany is hopeless
and they now understand that they
have been deceived by their officers
who told them there was but one
American brigade in France and that
no more could come on account of
the ravages of the U-boats."
stand Up Under Hordships
The Americans stand up well
under hardships," said Lieutenant
Long. AT one stretch we went ~
hours without food and were fight
ing most Of the time.
The whole four regiments of The
division fought so we'll that l undcr-
stand the French mean to decorate
all of them. Where for lack of man
power the Thirty Division
failed to take the Nesle river, our
division vas thrown il and we not
only crossed 1t, but went some hun
dred yards beyond, where we en-
trenched. We were still on the fight
ing front when l was detailed with
out warning to come back to the
United States and report to Camp
Dix"
Lieutenant Long pays high tribute
to the lighting qualities of the
French and English. but is especially
impressed with the Czecho- -Slovaks,
now lighting in France. These. men
are made up of prisoners captured
from the Austrians and Germans
who had no sympathy with the Cen
tral Powers and are now fighting on
the side of the Allies.
Most of the men in Lieutenant
Longs company are from the Juni-
alta Valley ard he says they are as
fine a body of fighting men as any
commander could ask and have wen
wonderful reputation for them
selves in France.
1T was wonderful to see them at
work in the open fighting" said he.
They simply ate up the Germans.
They went through the woods like
wildiire. It was like rabbit hunting,
were all good fighters in mass, Sut
the Americans simply ate them up
when it came to open warfare, and
the thirty-tive mile drive which
smashed the Rheims salient made
possibly the great offensive now in
progress. ! could talk all day and
