In the Days News.

Alfred p. Won Tirpitz, former grand
admiral of the German navy, the man
who, as minister of marine is declared
TO have been chiefly responsible for
the German policy of ruthless sub
marine warfare, will reach his 10th
birthday today, penniless and an exile
from his native land. Tirpitz was born
"a eommoner." At 16 he became ca.
Diet in what then composed the German
navy--a few wooden frigates. At 20 he
was lieutenant and five years later
became lieutenant commander In 1895
he was promoted to rear admiral and
the following year commanded the
cruiser division in China waters. II
was Tirpitz who conceived the naval
law under which the modern German
navy was built, and cleverly launched
IT in 1900 after the historic incident
when an English warship seized a Ger
man mail-paeket. The kaiser showed
his appreciation by raising him to her
edltary nobility and giving him the
rank of a fun admiral.

A PLEA FOR THE DOG.

The ''dog bill" that has caused so
much confusion seems likely to enjoy
a very short existence, there being q
bill introduced to repeal it which Is
likely to be passed. If it is repealed
the "dog question" win doubtless be
taken up again. We hope the next pro-
posal will not be so hostile to the
decent dogs of the state.
There are none too many good dogs
in Vermont now and we have a law
allowing the shooting of stray and
wandering dogs on sight. That ought
to be sufficient so far as eur dogs are
concerned. The ownership of good
dog should not be made so burdensome
as the "dog bill'' attempted to make
it. Many a farmer owns dog that
money could not buy because the ami,
NAL is such a faithful guardian of his
family and his crops or such q valua-
bic assistant in controlling the cattle on
the farm. Some farmers owe their lives
to faithful and courageous dog that
has challenged the attention of a mad
bull attacking the man. The right of
farmer to own such dog should not
