REAL PEAcEMAKER, THIS DOG

Of Living Thing.

Three men In Brooklyn. neighbors
and friends. were sent TO ST. Cath
crimes hospital recently suffering with
dog bites. and were attended by the
surgeons. The men were sitting In
the back yard Of the residence Of n
Of them and got into an argument
which turned into a free-for-all fight.
The dog Of one Of the men. who was
lying asleep. said 10 himself: as not
this a pretty picturei Men have no
right TO make brutes of themselves I:
much less friends who have no reason
for q difference. But since they really
want 10 f~ht so badly I will teach
them how 70 do the trick"
And so he rushed In and began 10
bite them terribly. not sparing his
master. Stung with the pain. they
turned from knocking each other to
fight the dog; but he was too much
for them, and cleaned out the crowd.
Completely vanquished. the men made
a break for a high fence and climbed
upon that. but the dog chewed the
calves Of their legs till they pulled
themselves up out of his reach atop
the fence. The dog then went back
TO his corner as though saying 10 him
self: Now ! guess they are cured. II
will be a good while before they will
disturb the peace of this neighhor-
hood again. or disgrace my back
yard" And they were cured. sure
enough. All the fight was gnawed
out OF them. They did not want to
fight each other. and from considera-
tions Of penitence and prudence they
did not even want to fight the dog.

When Col. Lindsey retired from
he office OF director of the bureau OF
var risk insurance, he asserted that
the former soldiers were allowing
their insurance to lapse at the rate
OF billions a week. The statement
seemed almost incredible, and vas
perhaps generally accepted as a RE
torlcal flourish, used to embellish the
colonel's opinion of Secretary Glass,
rays the Washing ton Post.
Now ONE the volunteer commit
tee. headed by Charles Z. Hughes,
which has been reviewing the work
and considering the problems that
confront the bureau. IL tells US that
Is per cent of the soldiers insurance
has already been allowed to lapse.
The announcement is staggering. 1t
means that since the armistice was
signed insurance aggregsting $780,
900, 000, 900, or about as much -
all the other life insurance in the
United States. has been abandoned.
The soldiers have thus lightly re-
jected the only really substantial re-
ward the United States has offered
them In recognition of their services.
The rejection, unless some way may
still be found to remedy Its conse-
quences, means that in n Of its
two great objects the scheme of war
risk insurance has failed.
The conceivers of the scheme had
In mind, first, the insurance OF the
lives of soldiers during the war, and
second, the creation OF a vast new
body OF permanent life insurance
that would have a profoundly bene-
fetal effect on the social and econom-
lie life of the nation. II would be
superfluous to mention the good that
would result from 1000, 600 men
carrying more than $4,000 900 900
of life insurance. most OF which
would not otherwise have been taken
In any form. Or the assumption
that all the insured soldiers would
have elected TO convert their term In

government insurance, would have
been about $3.50 apiece (the average
policy wal more than $4,000, or o
total of $1,440,0OO.0 900. In other

MR. HERBERT HOOVER SUGGESTS THAT
GREAT BRITAIN GO DRY.

Correspondence from London to the Board of
Temperance Prohibition and Public Morals of
the Methodist Episcopal Church states that Mr..
Herbert Hoover has strenuousy opposed the in
crease of the output of beer so long as America
furnishes the grain, and suggests that Great
Britain can go dry. The statement which comes
from the Alliance Press Agency is as follows
1T is we'll known that Mr.. Hoover the Anneri-
can Food Controller is using every effort to meet
the serious food problem in Europe, and cable
gram from Washington dated January Oath and
published in the Times on Saturday last, stated
that the United States Senate had adopted the
House of Representatives bill appropriating
S1000 900, 900 for food relief in Europe.
in view of the generous attitude of America,
it is amazing to find the following comment in
the leading article of the Morning Advertiser,
the liquor trade organ of January 25th:
1t will be noticed that the attitude of Mr..
Hoover the American Food Administrator, is
among the reasons which the Food Controller
explains are standing in the way of an increase
of he beer output larger than 25 per cent. The
admission that Mr.. Hoover is unwilling to ship
barley to this country for the manufacture of
alcohol is not altogether surprise. For it has
been stated in the press that he recently told
Yorkshire deputaton he would "iust stop sup
plies if any Of the grain imported under his di-
rection We're used for brewing, and a member OF
the deputation who ventured to demonstrate was
met with the retort, well. we have just gone
dry in the States and | guess you can do the
same" 1t is humiliating to nation which to
preser-e its freedom has given its blood and
treasure freely to hav. to submit to dictation
from abroad in IT |~--o~~i" affairs. The Obliga-
