STIMULATE SHEEP RAISING.

While much is Icing urged upon the tiller of the soil to do his part in meeting the war needs of the country, and no small amount of assistance is being contributed in one way or an- other to encourage him, it is impos- sib,e to overlook the need which ex- lists at the present time for protect ing him in securing the much desired increase in the production Of sheep.
 Sheep have been raised in New England in years gone by with excel lent results. There was a time when large 1ocks existed where hardly a single sheep is to be found today and yet there is land throughout the six states which is of little use for any thing else but which will serve to bring in a profitable, return to the sheep raiser and serve to better meet the national requirements if due con- sideration is given to the protection of that business.
 One of the greatest handicaps which is encountered today is the de- trimental and discours gings results which the farmer experiences from dogs. This may not apply to each and every household pct, whieh isn't al- lowed of leash or which never goes cutside of the yard unless accempan- ied but if does concern thet, class or dogs which goes uncontrolled about .te country seeking everything that caa be devoured including sheep. The losses which are experienced from such animals are heavy. They deter those who would otherwise engage in the business from doing SO and too determined efforts cannot be made to eliminate these bloodthirsty CUTS, sHcil dogs contribute notlling to war tipae conditions, The sheep do in sew erai wars and it is time that proper recognition was made of the fact and vheep raising stimulated instead of d;scoura ged.

JAPAN AND ssaRERrA.

Not "a little wonder thas been ex- pressed in view of the; fact that Ja- pan is ne Of thesalliede nations in the present war. that it fhas not taken a -snore active part in Fthe conflict. Al the beginning it usdd it's army and havy 10 drive the Germans out Of their possessions in Stl1e far east and of late it has sent part of its warships Co the Mediterranean ttos aid the Brit ish. French and Itasisrn snavies, but it has not employed it's army erept in driving sthei Germans -5ut .of.stheia- pos session in China and5the islands of the Pacific.
 That this has, cauSefit some ksurprise Is only -naturzi in view'of it's efficient fighting force. but it is Jspaa's claim -fhat according to the ,Anglot Japanese treaty the nat5nns wese bound to gr To WAT in the others sbehaE only SC far as the peaoe in thei east. was con cerncd.

The agree ment did 1cts cover Eslrope or the -whoie world.
 With the drive of thesGernans into Russia and the dansersof Pet=ograd falling into their hands, Japan sees the encroachmert of.GeuEany into Si- beria and therefore the effect of the Imperial Ges1nan government in the eastern part of that country. This eoncerns Japan and the peace of the east IL IS therefore reudy and pre- pared to resist it and there can be

A SANE DECISION.

 When it is realized how much harm and confusion would be caused and bnM much loss ard waste would be created by a striks Of any lurge body of men at time like this, 1t cannot help being felt that the action which has been taken in reaching an agree ment regarding the demands for high CT wages by the employees of the ele- vated road in Boston is the sensible thing. s
 The largest city of New England was threatened with the tying up, or at least a serious de1noralization, of its elevated service by the determination Of the employees to refuse to work unless Their demands were met Although there is an agreement between the road and it's employees which does not expire until next year. and which as might be expected caused serious hitch in the negotiations, it has been fagreed by the road that it win pay it's employees two cents an hour more dur ing the life of that agreement, which while ai1 increase is not as much as was asked by the men.
 This action is taken at the request of state authorities who have appealed to both sides and follows statement which was made by Mir. Endicott ol the public safety committee who ir urging the action declared that he re- alized that the expenses of the road have increased out of all proportion to it's income, and even without an in- crease in wages the company is un- able to earn a fair return on it's in- yestment and that at present the road is not even earning it's fixed charges
 Thus the patriotic stand of the ccm- pany cannot help being recognized and it ought not to be denied proper relief when the time comes.

 is comparatively plenty The difficulties are in many cases those Of transporta- ton and restrictions against transport Ing food from one province, or state, into another.
 "On some Of the big German farms, where Russians prisoners are em- ployed, these prisoners are being fed upon three quarts Of milk a day, among other things. Yet there are children dying in Berlin for want of little milk. So you see the difficulties Of food distribution are still difficult even in highly organized Germany. Americans need not be surprised tf1at they have had to face some of the difficulties. We will get over them quicker than Germany has done My own food suply wsss happily increased by Ambassador and Mrs. Gerard, who turned over to me a large shares of the stores they had accumulated, iH1- cluding several barrels of flour, oil, soap, sugar. etc. I feel/I owe the Gerards a deep debt of gratitude.
 The real Americans who were compelled to remain in Germany for a time after the war was declared did not lose one ounce of their American ism They submitted without fiurr1ur Or complaint to every restriction that vas placed upon them, and only bided the time that they could safely and legitinately get away. Many of them had to make big personal sacrifices, Of course, but they did it ,cheerfuiH and loyalty and have come back to America with an even keener appreciation of patriotism than most. of those wl1e have never been abroad

rHE sENTENcE oE. nEArH.

To the war department and Presi- dent Wilson have been referred the -cases of the four United States sol -siicrs who have been fourd guilty by court martial Of sleeping at their posts. one of the most serious Of cf- lenses. The verdict of the court martial is that they be tshot. That is the penalty connected with such a disregard for duty which carries with it the endangering of the lives of their comrades. Without attempting to ex- crclse final judgment in the matter. sz he did regarding the soldier who committed murder and whose life was taken as the penalty General Persh- ing refers the matter to Washington.
 In view of the discipline which must -te insisted upon in the army it is { renly natural that he should desire that a superior authority should take any steps if they are to be taken to- wards lessening the sentence, and the referring of the matter to the gov ernment rather indicates that he be- lieves something of the kind ought to q. be done. or at least if it is not done he wishes the responsibility to be --placed on other shoulders.
 There can be no question but what the verdict is in accord with military law and thoroughly understood by each and every member of the army -- Al the same time it is to be. renen- sbered that we are imposing obligations upon our soldiers who for the most part have not been trained all theii lives under such conditions, and wher we stop to think that this penalty ha. not been exacted from a single spy who has been operating in this coun. sry for the benefit of the enemy, ", certainly cannot treat our own mel worre than them.
