s'The Yellow Dog Move.
ment" AS Described By
Henry Irving Dodge
Author Tells Of The Birth Ut
Nationwide Campaign
Against German Propa-
panda In This Country

New York, Aug. 26.-Speaking at
the banquet of the New York City
Editors Convention, at the Majestic
Hotel, here, today Henry Irving
Dodge, founder of the national move
ment to suppress the "yellow dogs
who discourage and demoralize by re-
peating German propaganda lies, told
how he "built" the idea that has
aroused a tidal-wave of patriotic ac-
tivity all over the United Staes that
is effectively stamping out the last
traces of Prussian influence.
Mr.. Dodge in telling the birth of
the "Yellow Dog" campaign said in
part: "The matter simply shows how
from a mere idea concrete results
may be got. But what made the idea
effective was the fact that it was
applied at the psychological moment.
The country was ripe for it, and the
fact that the Yellow Dog Drive has
become 50 great shows not only that
there was very large number Of vel
low dogs in the land, but it also shows
the determination of the American
people to suppress them. It's move
ment that has since the 4th Of May
ispread. from Portland, Oregon, to
Portland, Maine, and from Canada
to Mexico. In fact, it includes con-
siderable portion of Canada, judging
from the letters received.
Yellow Dog Defined.
"When l speak of the two-legged
yellow dog I don't mean the German,
remember that. My yellow dog is
worse than that. He's a weak
kneed, white-livered American-how
I hate to call him an American
that's always knocking the govern
ment, always ready to pass along
scandal, groundless scandal, little,
petty, pin-pricking, discouraging talk,
always criticising in q destructive
way.
"I'm not speaking of the big men,
who know enough to criticise con-
structively, men who have the cour-
age to risk the public obloquy for
their country's sake-I'm talking
about dogs not lions
''For long time I tried to figure
out why so many good Americans
were acting like yellow dogs. Surely,
I thought, they're doing it unwilling
ly. That being the case, they must

of the German propagandist-doing
his work without realizing it, for they
never in Gods world would do it if
they did realize what they were
doing.
Seeking a Cure.
81 was much cast down by the ap-
parently unrestricted yellow dogism,
and I spent my tine hating the vel
low dog, and scheming cut way to
suppress him.
81 knew that able men had de-
livered orations against the danger
of German propaganda. Able writers
had exposed it. But you can't cure
it that way any more than you can
cure yellow fever by talking about it,
any more than you can cure cholera
by describing it. You only scare
folks that way. You've got to treat
the patients Individually. You've got
to make them realize, see the light.
Make them stand up and be counted.
Make them personally responsible
81 reckoned that the yellow dog
was the connecting link, the line of
communication, the disease carrier
between the Hun spy and the Ameri-
can public, that furnishes the sinews
Of war.
81 realized that since one couldn't
locate the spy propaganda, who is
as ubiquitous as the house fly, it was
necessary to destroyer at least, to
sterilize-the connecting link so he
couldn't communicate the Prussian
plague.
"Whether the yellow dog did it
consciously or not, the effect Of his
whining was vicious, and it was
necessary then to make him realize
that his irresponsible words were
fraught with danger to our country.
"To do that, it was necessary to get
an agent as ubiquitous as the yellow
dog himself. What l did after that
is what Walker did in tn estory, The
Yellow Dog He pondered the mat
ter and finally hit upon the small boy
force Of the country.
"The small boy, Walker knew,
was the human question mark. He
loves to express himself along the
lines of adventure. So he called the
boys of 'Danforth' together, ex-
planned to them how the yellow dog
by circulating evil rumors and dis
couraging the buying of bonds and
causing men to evade the draft act,
were virtually sending bullets to the
Kaiser and killing their brothers who
were in the trenches.
The Staggering Question. .
"He organized the Boy Detectives
of America, right then and there. He
told the boys if they heard anyone
talking sedition to go up and plump
this question at him: How do you
know?-HOW DO YOU KNOW?'
What a wonderful sentence that is:

How do you know? It's q sharp re-
Duke to the loose-tongued man. It
staggers the liar. It stops the tongue
of the slanderer. The saints invent
ed it, l believe, to confuse the devil.
Walker gave the boys cards
with definitions so they could recog-
'pize the yellow dog, and the boys
got busy. Walker and / had de-
signed to start bonfire in Danforth,
but we found that we had started a
conflagration. Metaphorically speak
ing it smarted the eyes and stung the
nostrils of everybody. 1t was not
long before every yellow dog in Dan
forth had been served with card of
Identification. 1t got so man didn't
care to talk sedition even to his wife
in the middle of the night lest from
out the darkness come the awful in
eliminating: HOW DO YOU KNOW?
In trying to convince himself that
he did know, the yellow dog con-
WINGED himself that he didn't know.
And he began to change the color Of
his hide. He didn't do it with a
whitewash brush either. The change
had to come from within.
''This story was my message to all
America. and the public has taken
the tip. I got wire from Portland,
Oregon, that an Anti-Yellow Dog
Club had been formed there as a
direct result of the suggestion.
ga few days later I got letter
from great advertising Mems Club
of Cleveland-a club involving some
three hundred of the ablest men in
the country-asking permission to
use my idea out there. They formed
the Yellow Dog Clubber's Club, with
branches all over the United States.
"Almost Immediately the High
Twelve, a Masonic body of Danville,
Illinois, started the Yellow Dog
Catcher's Association, and this is
doing wonderful work.
"The Anti-Yellow Dog Club Of
New York has started some 3O-or
more-Anti-Y yellow Dog Clubs in the
country, and the movement has the
endorsement of a vast number of
governors of state, secretaries of
states, mayors of cities, councilmen
and chiefs of police.
individual Boy Scouts and Scout
Masters have taken up the move
ment all over the country. Public.
spirited citizens have even printed
cards at their own expense and dis.

have taken it up. Men, women and

Nanny ScoIds Danny.

Danny Meadow Mouse has been
frightened many times in his life. In
fact, there are very few days. or nights
either for that matter. in which Danny
doesn't get a fright of some kind. You
and I wouldn't enjoy life at all If we
had as many frights as Danny Meadow
Mouse has. But Danny is so used to
them that no sooner is he over a fright
than he has forgotten it and is as happy
as II there wasn't suck thing as dan
ger or fear. 1t is so with most of the
little people of the Green Forest and
the Green Meadows and the Old Orchard
and the Smiling Pool. It is well that
it is so. If they remembered all their
frights there wouldn't be room for any
happy feelings.
So. though Danny had squea1ed with
terror when Roughleg the Hawk had
so nearly caught him, he would have
forgotten it almost at once if it hadn't
wouldn't let him. No. sir, Mamie
wouldn't Let him forget it. She had
seen all that had happened and her
heart had been right up in her throat
when Roughleg plunged into the snow
AFTER Danny. At lease That is ~ha-
she says. With eyes almost popping
out of her head with terror she watched
Roughleg rise into the air and you
can guess what a great sigh of
thankfulness she gave as she saw that
his great, ugly claws were clutching

FASHIONS

The accepted rule for the long spring
coat is forty-five to forty-eight inches
This three-inch leeway is due to the
fact that fashion has decreed that at
least three inches of the underneath
garment, whether it be frock or sepa-
rate skirt, shall be visible.
There is a very determined leaning.
when wool is used. to straight. scant
lines, but where silks are employed
more generous use of material is per-
missible, and the silk coats are gener-
ally rather full.
Two-fabric combinations are noted in
some of the coats, and. Of course, silk
and wool fabrics are often combined.
The coat shown in the sketch is
good example of the two-fabric long
coat developed for spring. As designed
here, the coat proper is made Of navy
satin, with waist and sleeves of plaid
serge or other wool fabric. The back of
the garment is cut on the same general
lines as the front, and the deep shawl
or cape collar is so arranged that 1t
may be drawn high about the throat II
desired.
Double-faced satins are in high favor
in the development of spring coats, and
the two sides of these satins are usual
ly in contrasting colors. They are
garments. Some charming little man
ties or capes made for evening or
dressy afternoon wear are finished so
that either side may be worn out-that
is. the cape may be turned at will and
its owner then to all intents and pur-
poses has two garments.

Old Ways. With Endive.

Endive, Of course, u never better than
| when 1t is served uncooked. dressed
! simply with oil and vinegar or, If you
prefer it, with lemon juice. But endive
has possibilities as a winter vegetable
that many cooks do not understand and
| may be cooked in a variety OF ways to
add zest to the diet. Perhaps creamed
endive is the simplest form Of cooking
this vegetable. To begin with blanch
the leaves by putting them in boiling
water for three or four minutes. Then
drain them thoroughly, chop them hne
and mix them with butter and little
thick cream or a rather thin cream
sauce.
Endive may be served on toast. stew
it-that is, blanch it by putting it IN
boiling water for about five minutes
drain it and rub it through coarse
sieve. Season with salt and little nut
meg. Add butter and serve on thin
pieces of toast.
Braised endive is prepared by blanch-
ing whole stalks Of endive, draining
them thoroughly and then simmering
them in a little stock in a shallow
saucepan. more complicated endlve
dish is endive timbales. To prepare this
stew the endive for flve minutes. Then
son with salt and pepper to taste. Mix
with a beaten egg, and pack into small
buttered molds. Place the molds in
hot water and cover thoroughly. Cook
long enough to poach the timbales-
that is to coagulate the egg. OF course
il you have more than four or five tim
bales you will want two eggs. When
the timbales are turned firm turn them
out on a hot dis.l and serve with melt
ed butter sauce, with cream sauce or
even you wish a mixture of havors,
with tomato sauce. These timbales
made with several eggs and served with
tomato sauce would serve the main
course at luncheon on a meatless day
Another rather complicated recipe for
preparing endive is. this. Cut four
stalks of endive crosswise or length
wise in lengths Of two or three inches
Blanch them-always remembering
that blancbing endive means boiling
for four OF five minutes-drain it, chop
it and put it in a saucepan with a little
butter. Add fiour-about a tablespoon
salt and pepper to taste and quarter
of broth. Veal or chicken broth is best.
Next comes mutton broth and then beef
broth. Simmer until very tender and
rub through sieve. Add the yolks of
four eggs. little more fresh butter,
heat thoroughly without boiling and
servo on toast

Need of Cheerful Clothes.

1t is said that the women of Eng
land have never dressed so well as
during the war. They have seen to it
that their appearance was all that
their fighters could wish, and the
theaters, restaurants and private houses
are the same as usual. Therefore, we
not only should but must wear color
full clothes and look as attractive as
possible, in order to bring to the world
the light and happiness that it deserves.
The French and American dress
makers have seen to it that the new
clothes produce this effect. There are
no longer the deep, brilliant hues of
the orient and of Russia. but there are
pinks. blues, lavenders. greens and now
and then a touch of brilliant scarlet.
