A|RDALES MAKE
BEST WAR DOGS
-W.S.S.-
(By Associated Prcss)

Chicago, May 81 -(By mail)-Thc
Alrdale, shaggy, sad-eyed dog that
has gained popularity only in recent
years, has convinced officers of the
Central Department, Signal Corps,
United States army, of it's superioritv
over all other breeds as a canine war
messenger.
While official authorization for use
OF the Alrdale on the battlefields of
Europe has not yet been issued by
the War Department., schools for in
tenslve courses in training have been
established and officers say that re-
ports from the various army camps
show that the dogs have made re
markable progress.
The Airdale surpasses all other
dogs in point of intelligence, and, al
though peaceful, is also most cour-
ageous," said one officer "Tests
have established beyond doubt its su-
periorlty over other dogs as war
messenger, particularly those used hv
the Garman army.
"The Airdale is a cross from a bull
terrier, otter hound and Berkeley
terrier. 1t is a result of years Of
years of careful breeding. and its
name, it is said, is derived from the
Aire valley of England, where it orig
mated"
The dogs now in training were eth
er given to the Signal Corps by pa
tlotlc citizens or purchased by inter
ested army officers. Scores of them
with long pedigrees and valued highly
have been given, ard other offers are
coming in daily, Females are in e. eat
or demand because of their intelligence.
Methods of training are a Similtary
secret.
"When the dogs are taken at the
age of from 10 to Is months and prop
erly developed as one-man dogs tfor
the Airdale is distinctly Il one-man
Gog) no beast can equal them as war
dogs" said the officer Their color
blends perfectly with night shades
The ability of the dogs to slip ouietIy
through barbed wire ENHANCEMENT,
without scratch is remarkabe.'

Highway Commission Tells Why the
Brawley Banning Highway Has Not
Been COmmenced-WOrk Is to Start
in October, Maybe.
-W.S.S.-
In recent communication from the
state highway commission Phil Swing
received the following note of expla-
nation of delays wi-ich are so trying
to the people of the valley, to whom
the Brawley Mecca highway offers
solution of the transportation prob
lem. The letter is appended in full:
"Recognizing the states obligation
in the Imperial district in an attempt
to ameliorate road conditions there,
the highway commission three years
ago took over two sections of road for
construction and maintenance.
"One of these was a seven mile sec
tion across the sand dunes between Ell
Centre and Yuma. This has been con-
structed at cost in excess of $780,
600 and is now being maintained by
the state.
"The other is ten mile section of
concrete road from the high line canal
at Westmoreland over the worst part
of the desert at cost of approximate
ly 100000.
when the second highway bond is
sue was drafted the entire road from
San Bernardino via Mecca, Brawley
and Ell Centre to Yuma was included
as one of the eight additional roads
built on county aid basis and tow
ards the construction of which the
state appropriated $3,OOOO0O.
"The total cost of this road is es-
timated at something over $4,000, 900
and of which the state is contributing
third. fit~
"At a conference held in San Ber-
nardino last September between the
state highway officials and the super
visors of San Bernardino, Riverside
ana Imperial counties, a joint agree
ment was reached for the construction
of the gap in the line from Westmore-
land north. Under this agreement Ri
verside and Imperial counties agreed
to contribute during 1918 their share
of the necessary funds for this con-
struction. The highway commission
agreed to make available the states
share and proceed as rapidly as the
local funds were made available.
"The section in Riverside county
was advertised early this spring but
no acceptable bids were received. This
same section from Mecca south is now
being advertised again and will be let
if an acceptable bid is received. If no
such bid is received the work will be
done as soon as the weather conditions
will permit by the state forces"

At the Topic Today.

~ VIC IOplN
Otis Kennedy ana Amos Meredith
had been enemies from boyhood. Tney
had grown up business rivals in the
same town and when Billy Kennedy
convinced Margie Meredith that they
should marry, the girls father declared
that he had other plans for her future
He would not under any circumstan-
ces allow her to marry the son of
Otis Kennedy. He had selected for
her Harold De Vandeveer, a milksop,
whom Margery despised. Under these
conditions, Bluebird's latest photoplay,
"The Fighting Grin" pets under way.
Franklyn Farnum will be star of this
new comedy at the Topic theatre to-
day, with Edith Johnson as his lead
ing lady. Complications arise because
the elder Kennedy takes his boys part,
at the same time having joke on
his old time enemy. Every time Mar
gle and Billy think the moment has
come when they may marry, Otis
Kennedy pops up to intervene. The
happy ending is not attained until
Billy and the girl encounter a series
of highly amusing and intensely eX-
citing adventures, during which laugh
able situations follow thick and fast.
"The Fighting Grin" is comedy pure
and simple, with no other purpose than
to create merrment and drive away
dull care.

 tied. Although the Germans and Ans tro- -Hungarians still control territory rom Finland to Odessa on the Black sea, It Is not certain that the Russians Will not again take up arms against them. The Bolshevik foreign minister. lrotzky, has asserted that he will op- pose the ratification of the peace treaty With Germany and advocates the re- eanl2atlon of the army for the defense or Russia. Meanwhile influential newspapers in Germany already are beginning to see the loss of Germany's prestige in the Far East because of her machinations in Russia and to point that Germany's Russian policy has played the game brilliantly'' for Great brltaln: the United States and Japan,

whatever and that there would be German penetration from end to end Of Russia that would be absolutely dis astrous for Russia.
 T believe that the house does not know how far this penetration has al- ready gone" said Mir. Balfour. T suspect that at this moment German officer would be much safer travelling through Russia than would an allied officer. Only one bank is allowed at Moscow, and that is a German bank.
 Russia sincerely desires to resist this penetration. How can she do it when every instrument to make resist ance possible has been destroyed? I do not think that Germany will try to send great organized forces from Riga to Vladivostok; that would be an operation of great difficulty, and, from a purely military viewpoint an unnec- essary and even fatal waste of time. Russia is a country of surprises and it is impossible to predict her future. But the thing most to be feared from Russia is that it is Germany's interest to foster and promote disorder. It has always been Germany's game that oth- CT countries should be weak and she knows that there is no better way than in making them divided. What would be the result of this disorder and di i- vision? Men will at last look round and say to themselves: This condition is intolerable and makes life impossible. Something must be done to terminate the chaos +---.- ,a

they said, would check the supply now received from the California reserves, which are the most productive in the state, while the present scarcity of oil well supplies makes the opening of new fields practically impossible.
 Buy and Store is Advice
 H. B. Henderson of San Francisco, assistant general manager of the As- sociated Oil company, said the gov ernment's plan to utilize the reserves as a huge reservoir for naval purposes was impractical. He recommended that the government buy as much oil as it desires to meet future needs and store it above ground.
 A. c. Mclaughlin. representing the Southern Pacific railroad, also opposed the acquisition of all the reserves be- cause of the present shortage prevail ing on the coast.
 When the hearing closed. some mem bers of the committee indicated that the bill would be replaced by another providing for the setting aside of only part of the reserve for the navy's use. This measure would be added as :tn amendment to the naval appropriation bill when it reaches the senate from the house.

BIBLE STUDENTS IN
 TROUBLE WITH BOOK.
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

OMAHA, March 14.-Four thousand copies of The Finished Mystery" the Pastor Russell publication of the In- ternational Bible Students association of Brooklyn, N. r., were taken here today, when officials from the federal department of justice raided the head quarters of the Bible students in this cits. The books were placed in the custody of the United States marshal for safe keeping. At the same time William Mack, said to be a solicitor for the sale of the books, was arrested, charged with violating the espionage act. Mack was released on bail. Other arrests are expected Friday, as several additional warrants have been issued.
 The cartons of books were addressed to c. w. Farwell a local member of the Bible Students association. Far well called at the district attorney's office and showed a letter from the publishers of the book, advising him to cut out pages 247 to 251 inclusive of the book, after which, said the pub fishers, no law would be violated by its sale.

ATLANTA'S MAYOR
 AGAIN IN COURT
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

ATLANTA. Ga, March 14.-In pre- senting it's case today against Mrs. Margaret Hirsch charged with at- tempting to blackmail Asa G. Candler, Atlanta's multimillionaire mayor, for S500,000, the state relied upon virtually the same witnesses who testified at the trial of J. w. Cook a real estate oper- ator. indicted jointly with Mrs. Hirseh. Cook was convicted two weeks ago and given the maximum punishment in Georgia for a misdemeanor-a sen- tence of one year and one day at hard labor on the chain gang and fine of S1,000.
 The mayor. who was the first wit ness, told of Mrs. Hirsch's visit to his office. He denied that he made im- proper proposals to her. and said that after she had removed her coat and hat, he left the office. meeting Cook at the door.
 Forrest Adair. who acted for the mayor in negotiations with Mrs. Hirsch and Cook, testified that the woman had told him that the mayor had 'fondled her in his office and that she had re- clined on a lounge and then she saw some one at the window. The witness said the woman had asked for $500, 900 for herself and 5000 to pay her hus- bands debts.
