Belgium War Dog Heroes
 Now Number Only Six

CLIENT, Belgium. July S.-Only six of Belgiums War Heroes" re- main They are not human heroes, but brilliantly intelligent and dar- ing dogs who distinguished them selves for valor and fidelity on the field of battle. Originally there were Is, but ten proved that even dogs can be martyrs Three were killed in action at the front, three died of wounds, two were poisoned by the Germans, one died of grief over the loss of his er-master, and one was mercifully put out of his misery when the enemy came to seize him.
 The six survivors were proudly exhibited by their owners at the Palais des Fetes recently. Some have gallant acts of peace to their credit as weel as honors of war. They have saved children from drowning, stopped runaway horses, caught burglars, protected sheep and stood silent guard over their masters lives and homes. Three of them have the Cross of War for heroism and devotion in the field

TOP OF THE WORLD.

The highest point reached by human being, while keeping his feet on the earth attained when Capt Godfrey Bruce and George Finch, scien- a Gurkha aid reached altitude of 27,400 feet within 500 of the top of that tallest mountain pillar in the world-1 900 feet than five miles above sea level Four of the Engishmen ascended to an altitude of 26,S from which the two mentioned made determined efforts to make the top. In the first they gained 800 feet and to this added another 100 feet at the second trial From that point they compelled to return.
 The magnitude of tho undertaking of these dar- ing Epglishmen is probably not appreciated by the average person, who looks upon mountain as a mountain some, of course, higher and larger than others, and then thinks more of the subject. But cid Everest is a mighty mountain, world of stu pendous peaks and precipces titanic walls and gac iers mounted upon the worlds loftiest plateau It tours nearly 5000 feet above Mount Mckinley. If Mount Hood could be upon the top of Mount St. Elias it would barely be able to the crown of the monarch of the Himalayas.
 The men who achieved almost the summit of selves place with the daring breed who have chared unknown seas who have harred denzens of Arctic waters in search of the Northwest passage and the poles, who have untangled junges in Darkest Africa the explorers and adventurers who have searched out the unknown places and things the earth s surface and in the depths below who have measured and weighed the planets, who have dissected and classified the materials of the universe the pioneer spirits to whom the races of the progress of civilization and knowledge.

 No better example of the wisdom of making a virtue of necessity be cited at this time than the acticn of Canada in deciding to live up the lof the disarmament agreement through giving over its navy.

sidy is regard for national defense. In both cases it may be maintained that direct sub sidy carefully earmarked is much to he preferred to an indirect method whose cost is impossible to determine.
 The removal of discriminatory restric- tions in regard to labor and the maintenance of the "freeship" polscy would in all prob ability still leave the American operator at disadvantage. He would be handicapped both by inexperience and lack of established trade connections and by subsidies granted by other nations. Both of these are legitimate bases for demands for government help in some form but neither would justify heavy subsidy.
 The outstanding fact in regard to the need of government assistance for the Am erican merchant marine is that the need cannot be accurately measured at the present time. Unquestionably a subsidy is necessary to enable American ships to compete under present conditions. but would it not be mis- take to perpetuate present conditions? subsidy based on the present differential in to a certain class of labor. A subsidy in tended in addition, to make possible the op eration of more ships than there is traffic for in the depressed state of foreign trade, would certainly establish an artificial basis for American shipping which in the long would prove expensive to the taxpayer beyond all need,

Tragedy of Pleasure.
(New York Sun.)

Do take pleasures too sadly? No. Not sadly enough If realized how sad of them are might try to substitute something better. The true tragedy of pleasures indulged in by Americans. is scarcely suspected. Most of do not know that it isn't work that tires out, but it is being entertained.
 We constantly moving about at white heat. We have time to sit down quietly and talk or think. We try to concentrate work much as possible in order that may pay for the sort of pleasure which makes more tired than We busy in buying pleasure that among us en- joyment is lost art
 We subject to the following illusions:
 Illusion 1. That sitting still is only bodily compshmeent. We do not understand that when we sit still, say at movie at a play, minds are bn the move or are being moved along at mad pace. We actually not sitting at all.
 Illusion 9 That genuine pleasure from the outside and not the inside There is real pleasure like work, but have invented so many devices to curtail work in order that may have more time for pleasure that the actual result is have time for either.
 Illusion 3. That tranquility is doing nothing On the contrary genuine tranquility is only another name for constant internal development. It is only through internal development that the greatest deeds accomplished.
 These three illusions make us in spite of our enormous material resources, the unhappies people in the world. And always resent this accusation because it is too true The Europeans, as impover- ished and disrupted they are, look upon us with silent contempt. Until the tragedy of external pleasures weighs down with fatigue that we shall experience revulsion of soul ourselves of them will continue to be restless and unhappy

AMERICAN SnIT Si bSIDY.

The need for subsdizing the American merchan marine cannot be accurately measured under presen conditions. the National Bank of Commerce in Nev York Legislative restrictions and the severe de presson in shipping discourage ship operators iron purchasing government vessels and make it impos sble to determine whether they compet with foreign ships in normal times The bank in it magazine says:
 It would be mistake to assume that the disposal of these vessels is the primary
 consideration. The ships were built for
 war emergency and it would be better to
 write them off a expense at
 than to spread the loss period of years,
 or possibly to extend it indefinitely, by
 tablishing subsidies higher than would be
 necessary to permit American participation
 in the shipping industry
 The first problem to be solved is that of putting the American ship operator
 sound basis, and this implies freedom from
 artificial restrictions which may increase his
 capital charges. At the present time the free ship policy, by which foreign-buit ships admitted to American registry, is
 still in force, but it adopted as
 emergency measure just before the war and is not well established but that it needs active support.
 Within the limits compatible with safety such enforced by other maritime tions the American ship operator should be free to hire his labor where it is cheapest. just as he should be able to buy his ships where they are cheapest. If American labor cannot by its superior efficiency at main tain there it's higher standard of living it should be diverted to other industries where it's efficiency will be of value.

 Even though he acts on his wife s advice the husband knows he will be to blame if things turn out wrong. If man would wait until he him self became perfect before he began hunting for faults in his friends, he'd die without ever learning they had any.

LOUISIANA FAMERS STUDY BET
TER METODS.

Baton Rouge, La, Aug. S.-Last week
there began in Louisiana forward
movement of vital significance TO tne
progress of the race. DR.. w. r. Per-
kins, head of the extension service
for this state and other prominent
agriculturists, invited T. M. Camp
bell, Field Agent, for the United
States Department of Agriculture,
with headquarters at Tuskegee insti
tute to give the state the benefit
of his experience.
That thousand of Negro farmers in
the south are seeking the best me-
thods for the solving of their pro-
clems and citizens were strikingly
attested at meetings held at Delhi
Monroe, Grambling, Dubberly, Ope-
lousas and Shreveport, where over
5000 farmers were addressed by I.
M. Campbell, DR.. Perkins and seve-
raj other prominent white extension
workers.
The outstanding feature of the
weeks event was the reception ten
dered Field Agent Campbell by the
farmers. He discussed the kind of
education that DR.. Booker T. Wash
ington talked of and so long hoped
for, the kind that is as free as air
and sunshine. He said that around
80 per cent of the Negroes in the
South depended directly or Indirect
" upon agriculture The problem Of
the day, which should concern peo-
pie interested in the economic pro-
gress of this region, he exclaimed
how to reach this large mass of peo-
pie and to fiprove their home and
farm life.
His speeches were pregnant wiah
humorous stories which carried home
the burden of his splendid message
He used a story told by an English
man who said that the South was
asleep. He revealed the fact by con
trasting agricultural metods of the
agricultural region of the South
with other section of the country. He
emphasized that the masses of the
South must reached not in a mega.
tive manner but absolutely positive
That the negro owned 3S,000,00(
acres of land and was long on his
achievements but miserably short or
good homes. were among the pertinent
facts brought out by this well known
authority on extension work amos
Negro in the South. He discussed
frankly among the Negro fasrmers
some pertinent things which are con
ducible to racial progress. He asket
them did they have enough actua
room in their homes to seperate the
sleeping quarters Of the sexes of the
family. He made an appeal for better
things for the Negro farmer and di
rectly to the farfer, he made al
appeal for more wholesome condi
tons for his children and the womeI
of their homes.
These meetings have created al
intense awakening and from presen
indications, the campaign will reacl
every parish in Louisiana where there
are Negro farmers.
