INVASION OF AMERICA
BY GERMAN POLICE DOGS
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Aug. 23.-America will be
overrun with German police dogs if
the dog-catchers at the ports in the
United States where the returning
troops land do not put an en- barge on
the German product
All the soldiers and marines from
the Rhine districts bring police dogs
to Paris. Officers, doughboys, and
girl workers with the army lead them
through the Paris street. The Amer
lean troop trains passing through Bel
gium and Luxembourg on their way to
French ports all carry a great assort-
ment of the German CANNES.
Red Cross workers, Young Mems
Christian association workers and
members of the Young Women's
Christian association have been won
over by the German police dogs and
are taking them back to America.
Most of the CANNES have pedigrees
showing that their grandfather was
wolf. They are all grey, about the
size of shepherd dog with the point
ed nose and sharp ears of q wolf,

Head of State Colonization
Work Suggests Confer
ence in Relation to Mesa
Lands Development.
FARM BUREAU
MEMBERS DISCUSS 1T
State Leaders Who are In
terested in Settlement
Work Will Be Asked to
Take Hand in Matter.

DIR. Elwood Mead who is the head
and active promoter of the State
Colonization work has written a let
ter in which he makes strong advo-
cacy Cf amendments for the kettner
bill.
This letter was in answer to a let
ter to him making inquiry as to
whether the state could not become
interested in the Mesa lands develop
ment especially in connection with
settlement of soldiers upon them.
The matter was taken up with DR..
Mead by Chief Farm Advisor Croch-
eron an it caused study to be made
of the Kettner bill. DR.. Mead has
gone into the matter rather eXhaus-
lively and thinks there should be a
general conference in regard to the
whole project. There was an inform
al discussion today between A. NJ
Nelson, county development agent
and some of the farm bureau mem
bers but it was merely an exchange
of opinion.
The prospects of the bill have
heretofore resisted efforts to change
it upon the ground that amendments
are likely to destroy altogether its
chances of passage because the bill
as it stands has been threshed out
in conferences with the members of
congress upon whom it must de-
pend for success and alterations in it
would mean that the work with con-
gressmen already done must be done
over. There is, however. very strong
sentiment among the soldiers of the
valley for the proposed soldiers set
tlement amendment, and it is held
by some that a change in this direc-
tion would help rather than hurt the
chances of the bill.

Indications that the sympathetic
strike of Southern Pacific and Santa
Fc trainmcn to support the Pacific
Electric strikers would come to an
end with yesterday have not been
borne out as the result of later de-
velopments and Imperial valley, in
common with other tributary territory
is undergoing the inconvenience of in
tel1upted freight and passenger serv-
ice.
Aside from temporary dislocation
Cg business, there will be no loss
here even if the strike should con-
tinue for a considerable time.
If the strike had come when the
canteloupe or other periShable crops
were moving it might nave been a
very serious matter, locally, but COM
ing as it has, between valley seasons
when the movement to and from the
valley is at lowest ebb keeps the loss
down to a minimum.
The breakdown in service affects
chiefly the refrigerated products of
which, at this time, the most import
ant is butter. However, as these prod
ucts are all handled by express and
the disruption of mail and express
service cannot be of long duration
the loss involved in the delay in these
shipments will be confined largely
to inability to deliver goods to the
regular trade.
he other chief Inconvenience is in
those cases where rush orders to fill
stock shortages for merchants are
held up. For instance, all business
L en-, through unusual orders or fol
other reasons, get out Of standard ar
ticles for which there is constant de-
mand and in such cases they make
sudden calls upon supply houses. I'M
doubtedly a good many Of such sup
plies have been held up in transit. II
is seldom, however, that some substi-
tute cannot take the place, in such ar
emergency cf the wanted merchandise
The hotels, Of course, suffer, tC
some extent, from the interruption
to travel.

Oregon Minister Succeeds in
Breaking Coast Record.
Rev. Mr.. Spearow, Member of Multi
nomah Athletic Club, Is AlI-Round
AthIete-High and Broad
Jumps His Specialties.

A minister of the Gospel broke the
Pacific coast record in the pole vault,
and is considered a promising candi-
date for the worlds record.
He is Rev. Ralph A. Spearow, pas
tor of a Unitarian church in Portland,
and member of the Multnomah Athlet-
&c club.
Sunday finds Rev. Mr.. Spearow de-
lfvaring sermons to largesized con-
gregatiOns, in which young men and
boys are cOnspicuously present. He is
adOred by the youth of Portland, who
regard him as an athlete who breaches
ION the side" not as a preacher with
9n athletic bent.
Monday finds the young minister out
on the athletic field keeping up his
training. He is an all-rOund star. with
special ability at the high jump and
broad jump as well as the pole vault,
and is also an excellent Splinter.
Rev. Mr.. Spearow's coast record was
made recently in a track meet held at
Tacoma. He scared over the bar at
he dizzying height Of Is feet and 3-S
inches, the first time any coastVaulter
had ever exceeded Is feet. The former
record was held by Sam Bellah, of
Stanford university.
The worlds record stands at Is feet
2h inches.
Rev. Mr.. Spearow at the Tacoma
meet won the h. III jump at feet 2
inches, which is some jump, and did p
feet and one-half inch in the broad.
Rev Mr.. Spearow frankly attributes
his success, not to coaching, but
prayer. He has never been in the
hands of an expert coach, but worked
out his own methods entirely. Prayer,
ne says, carries him over the bar.
