FAMOUS DOGS LONG KNOWN
Breed of ST. Bernard Have Been Re-
nowned for Centuries for Their
Special Work.

The st. Bernard pass is of historical
renown. It connects the valleys of
the Rhone and the Dora Baltea. 1t
was traversed by Roman legions thou
sands of years ago. In medieval
times the pass served the armies of
conquerors and the bands of MERGE
naries. Napoleon crossed the Alps at
this point in 1900.
3 The great monastery was built IN
the middle of the sixteenth century.
1t was maintained for the relief of
travellers who were surprised by snow
storms while crossing the pass. The
st. Bernard dogs were used to find the
frozen victims of the storms in the
SnOwdrifts They were specially
trained for this work of relief and
carried the first aid to the injured in
a little basket attached to their col
lars. These dogs rescued thousands
of human beings, many of whom were
Of historic prominence. And for the
first time in the history of this famous
monastery the dogs, during the war,
had TO be slaughtered for want of food.

Used LIQUOR as nait.

The burgomaster Of Arnsberg, West
phalia, Germany, having failed In all
endeavors to induce the farmers Of the
neighborhood to bring in supplies,
placed this advertisement in the local
newspaper "This municipality will buy
all agricultural products for cash at
government prices. Every person who
delivers 100 pounds Of bread grain or
800 pounds of potatoes win receive a
ticket emitting him to buy bottle OF
brandy or rum at reduced prices from

day two months ago the little SON
very earnestly said to his father: :
"Papa, haven't you German fiag7"
The pastor replied that he thought
there was one in his collection, at the
same time explaining to the lad that
the Teutonic banner was not popular
these days and was not to be exhib-
tied.
I A few DAYS later the little SON was
more 4insistent. "Papa," he said, II

A British aviator who had been fly

dark little blur appeared ahead at

right at me and swerved to the left

sound increased during the two or
three seconds that elapsed before the
big missile came up to me and swept
past. 1t was probably several hundred
yards away at It's nearest, but the dis
lance seemed less.
"a few faint STRINGS of air began
to rock my machine even before the
shell went by. but the full force Of
the 'air wash came d fraction 'of a
second later. Then an almost solid
wall of air nearly threw me on my
beam ends and was really hard put
to it to get the Keeling machine back
on an even keel. For the next mile
or two the air was like water in the
wake of big sidewheeler-all chopped
to pieces and the machine rocked like

ARCHIVES UNExAMINED LAY
THE WAR TO Ex-KAlSER
Germany Sought Conflict in 1914, Says
Kurt Eisner-Mass OF Evil
dence Held.

Berne, Feb. 12.-There is still Il vast
amount of material to be examined in
German quarters regarding respon'
sbility for the outbreak Of the war,
said Kurt Eisner, Ihe Bavarian pre-
! mier. in discussing this subject with
the correspondent.
"The entire archives are as yet un-
examined" Her, Eisner said, s'but
already much material has been found
in the secret archives of the Munich
diplomatic correspondence proving
Germany'S guilt, her responsibility for
beginning the war. For instance
there is a record OF a conversation
between King Ludwig of Bavaria and
Count Won Schoen, the former German,
ambassador at Paris, which was
found among Count Won Hertling's pa.
pers, which shows that Germany de-
sired the war.
The conversation took place in An
gust, 1914, the king telling the am.
bassador that this war must have a
different result from that of the war
OF 1870 and that Belgium must be an
nexed to Germany
!. ITO this" continued Herr Eisner
the king added: Germany must also
acquire the mouth Of the Rhine, even
at the expense of the violation of
Dutch territory. Furthermore, Ba.
varia must be given a portion of Al.
sace-LOrraine in the latter case Ba-
varia would renounce her territories
in Baden and Hesse.'"

Getting Rid of Colds

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of cold is to take Chamberlain 8
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use many years and its value
fully proven. No matter what remedy
you use, however, care must be taken
not to contract second cold before
you have recovered from the first one,
and there is serious danger from this.
A man of middle age or older should go
to bed and stay in bed until fully re-
covered. 1t is better to stay In bed
three days at the start than three
weeks later on.

tax revenue will be only $4,000, 100000,
it is apparent that the forthcoming
loan will not end the war borrowing
