ground that would take soldier rum
ner hours to cross.
During the great German advance
last spring part of the British line
in front of famous French town was
cut off by severe enemy barrage. A
messenger dog was released with an
urgent appeal for reinforcement. 1t
ran two miles in ten minutes. The
result was that French colonial di-
vision was sent up and prevented a
disaster. The messenger was a High
land sheep dog.
Another dog with a message ran
nearly four miles in twenty minutes,
and still another in the same time
carried back from the front a map
of an important captured position,
when a man would have taken an hour
and half to bring it in.
The dogs which have been found
most successful in war work are col
lies, sheep dogs, lurchers and aire-
dales, and crosses of these varieties,
while in a number of cases Welsh and
Irish terriers have given excellent re-
suits.
The work of sentry dogs has been
valuable, especially in the Balkans.
One gave warning of an enemy scout
300 yards away. On many occasions
dogs have given warning OF enemy
patrols longs befroe the soldier SEN
tries were aware of their presence.
Large number of dogs have been
used for guard duty, many on the
Italian front.

The allied request for a conference
with all the factions of warning Rus
STA is, the most significant news that
has come on the Russian situation for
many weeks and speaks well for the
craftsmanship of President Wilson
No one, not even the warmest friend
of democracy can for a moment i'm
agine that the allied powers are anx-
ious TO see successful socialistic re-
public established in Russia. The
English censorship, the war in Siberia.
and the silence concerning Siberian
operations indicates too well the at
titude of the government in power.
The only explanation, then, of the
allied note to the warning Russian
factions is that the military powers
realize that a policy of military ag-
gression has failed. In Vladivostock,
in the face of the allied armies the
popular election gave the bolsheviki
candidates an overwhelming majority.
The action of the military leaders in
declaring the election null and throw
ing the city under military law serv-
ed only to intensity the unpopularity
of our arms.
Russian leaders have long asserted
that the best help the bolsheviki can
nave is Iue pTebenCe OIL AIlleu troops
in Siberia and their greater help is
the operation of these troops with the
reactionary Kornflloff against the SOL
diers and peasants.
The changed attitude as indicated
in yesterdays note to the Russians
and the reassertion of the brotherly
love that is said, by diplomats, to
obtain between the allies and the Rus
sian people indicates only one thing,
that the allies are to use a different
weapon against the socialist govern
ment. If we are to believe the as
sertion of the Russian leaders this
weapon will be effective

The propositions to be considered
at this meeting, especially the third
and fourth points that have to do with
Representative elections" and the
payment of national debts are filled
with deep and far reaching connota-
lions. The diplomatic note was far
too vague to indicate with any pre-
cision the exact meaning of these
propositions.
The Soviet government of Russia
is, in very real sense, represent
alive government The soviets, who
correspond to our representatives, are
elected by the people and are distri-
buted among the various industries.
Thus, in order to have vote, the cit
izen must have a job and must affil-
late himself with the trade union, or
gained in his shop or district. This
principle that man must work in or
der to eat is as old as the United
States and should cause no surprise
to Americans. If the allied demand
is that all the peoples of Russia COM
bine to elect their government that
will control all of Russia, a new
wound is opened and the question to
be settled by the joint conference will
have to do with the form of govern
ment that will be most acceptable to
the allied statesmen
The clause concerning the payment
of the Russian national debt is not
likely to meet with any wide approval
by the Russian people. They arsr.not
yet in mood to be approached with
the deposed Cars bills. They not
only had no opportunity to pass on
the expenditures made by the defunct
government, but they have every rea-
son to believe that the expenditures
were made unwisely. The demands
of the British and American business
men who helped to finance many of
the Cars pet schemes must be met
and it is to be hoped that satisfac-
tory agreement can be reached.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, JANA ma
tional organization will be formed
here tomorrow by representatives of
forty-one big trunk line road associa-
tions for the purpose of seeking fed
eral aid for established national high
ways.
1t is hoped that out of the con-
vention will grow union sufficiently
strong to impress congress with the
need of official recognition of the
highways represented and of extern
sion of federal aid to fully develop
them.
The convention was decided upon
recently at joint convention of the
American association of state high
way officials and the highways in
dustries association at Chicago. Rep
resentatives of thirteen ans-contin-
entail and Interstate highway associ-
ations attended this conference.
1t is expected that definite sys-
tenn of roads covering the entire
country, for which federal backing is
desired, will be outlined at tomor-
rows convention.
At the Chicago conference H. O.
Cooley of Minneapolis was appointed
temporary chairman and Frank A.
Davis, Kansas City, temporary secre-
tary.
Mr.. Davis says that the road associ-
ations interested in the convention
represent between $4,000 and 10000
miles of established highways.
By combining their efforts instead
of continuing as individual organiza-
lions, it is believed that rapid progress
in road building will be possible, Mr..
Davis cold

a, H. Jagoe,
County Chairman.
The above telegram tells if8
own story. Our patriotic bank.
crs, with most c0mmcndabic
prumptness, came to the rescue
OF the county's good name and
kept il out Of the yellow column,
Aud this ia not The first time.
On every occasion where money
was wanted to help win the war,
these same bankers stood ready
to see that Chickasaw's part was
met. Our whole patriotic citi.
zenship is proud Of these in
stitutions and the liberty-loving
men at their several heads.
Theirs has been a task of no
small proportion, but they have
met it with fidelity to the cause
and have not denied a single
seasonabIe proposition to help
the people do their part and
have shouldered the load when
ever the individual failed. We
know that the boys still in khaki
will be glad to know of this last
act of loyalty to the cause.
But there is another side.
The people should not have al
lowed the banks to do their part.
The individuals of the county
could have taken these bonds
and they would have been better
off by having done so. Every
bond taken by the banks weak
ems its loaning power to the
people by just that much. 1t is
the part of the banks to furnish
the oil of trade to keep the
wheels of commerce going.
They have done this so far, and
it is hoped that the apathy Of the
people in this last loan has not
caused the banks to take too
many bonds to continue their
natural functions to supply the
full needs Of the community.
