Portage, Wash, Apr 4, 10.
Editor Record:
| want TO write word of warn
ing TO people who are breeding
pheasants, as someone has dog
that can go through any ordinary
wire fencing.
| thought my yards were unus.
ually secure. but | found my birds
all killed this morning. The tracks
show the intruder to be large
dog, which jumped on four-foot
wire-covered run and went thru
the top of one yard, killing three
Chinese, and then thru "a pinch
wire mesh NEARLY new wire) into
the other yard and killed 5 Gold
ems.
II is not only the money value,
which would be about $4,000, but
the grief TO find the mutiliated
bodies of my pets strewn about
the yard.
! can't understand why so many
people persist in keeping worth
less dogs and allow them to roam
the country and destroy property.
A good watchdog is all right, hui
their place is on their owners
premises.
If any strange dog shows up
here unaccompenied by its owner,
II will be safer somewhere else.

Since my return to Vashon, after
an absence of three years, ] cannot
fail to notice the strong and grow.
ing sentiment in favor of commu.
nifty church for Vashon. | have
not seen nor heard any public
statements on this subject, but
have talked with quite a number
of people Of the different denomi.
nations who might be considered
leaders in this community and
every one is of the same opinion
One church for Vashon.
A review Of church conditions on
the Island would indicate that
such an institution is an absolute
necessity.
Take for instance the school
children. Five days of the week
they are thrown together with in.
terests identical. Why should they
be separated on the Sabbath Are
they not all children of one Faith
err Then consider the young peo-
ple's societies. A few in each are
undoubtedly earnestly trying to
do their best, but are often work
ing directly against each other,
whereas by working together they
might accomplish wonders among
the young people OF the Island,
both socially and spiritually.
Far be it from me to criticize in
any way the old pioneers of the
Vashon churches but | would sub
NIT to them this thought, that
when God gave His great promise
that where two or three are gath
cred together" He did not mean
that we had to split up into groups
of half a dozen or less in order
that His promise might be full
filed.
Take this matter from fnan-
cial standpoint: Why should we
starve two or three good preachers
here at Vashon, when with the sup
port Of the whole community we
could pay one enough to keep him
from going out to work in order
to make both ends meet.
During the great war the
churches the world over got to-
gether and did wonderful work.
Why not get together and win the
fight here at homeY
Cooperation Almost a by-word
here on the Island, Judging by the
many cooperative business fail
ures. Let the churches get busy
and take the lead in showing us
real cooperation.
No, dear reader this is not Pres
byterian propaganda. for the writ

church in good standing. Neither
is it Methodist propaganda, for

$4,000 to Launch
One Hog Island Vessel

The celebration that marked the
launching of the first ship at Hog
Island, last July, cost the govern
ment $4,000, Piez, general manager
of the emergency fleet corporation,
told the senate commerce commit
tee in Washington.
The ship was the "NlscoUnt,
which was prematurely launched and
later had to be towed to station
for repairs.
81 think this expenditure was just
fled" said PieZ,~ the launching of
the ship should have been celebrated
because of the' moral effect"
Moral effect on Whom?" asked
Senator Johnson, California.
''On ourselves and on our enc
mics" answered Piez.
1.-The moral effect would have been
lost and then some had it been
known that the ship was not ready
for launching, would it not?" asked
Johnson.
He said that the $4,000 covered
the building of grandstand and
fences, refreshments and invitations
He said twelve ships had been
launched at Hog Island and that
three had been turned over to the
government. All the launchings with
the exception Of the first had been
successful, he said.

No German Delegates
To Conference Named;
u. S. Is Concerned

Germany has not yet submitted
list of her probable peace delegates
or at least no such list has been
brought to the attention Of the
American delegation to the peace
conference, which is much concern
ed and is giving great considera ton
to the influence of the Bolsheviki
upon the central powers. -.
Although. the, Am rieaIas represe1l-,
tatfVes lave received many reports
OF conditions in the Baltic states and
in the Ukraine, these reports are
very conflicting and the delegates are
not at all satisfied with the infor-
nation at hand.
The policy of the American dele
cation, with regard to the Russian
Situation and it's general complica-
lions with the unrest in the Balkans
and in the former Russian districts,
has not yet stal1en form. The Amer
lean delegates apparently do not con-
slider that France and England, ell
Their have outlined a definite policy
toward Russia.
