For this reason too his voice
over the radio inspired them; the
words. marshal Petain says
aroused them to accept admoni-
tiOns that they would not have lis

at that hour of humiliation, disil-

His government was not the

MIR. HEARST PRAISED

The alderman attended the
meeting, however. when he learned
the club women and Humane So
cicty groups of Peoria had within
four days obtained more than
5000 signatures TO a petition ask
ing the mayor and council To pass
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ordinance.
AS passed, the ordinance is prob
ably the most stringent Of its kline
ever drafted. 1t not only requires
The board of health to put to death
within the corporate limits of Pc
oria. and in as painless a manner
as possible, all stray dogs not
claimed within five days, but il
also imposes a penalty of from
500 10 5000 on every person
firm or corporation" for each and
every offense."
Credit for breaking the vivisec-
tionistS' hold on dog collections
here was freely given TO William
Randolph Hearst by opponents and
supporters of the ordinance. AL
derman Walter Grant. sponsor OF
the measure, said:
I've got nowhere in our fight
until the amazing disclosures
about vivisection were made by
MIR. Hearst. We were repeatedly
rebuffed by the yivisectiOnists'
cry that they were trying to
cure humanity of all its physical
ills and that II they did not get
Peoria dogs we would be the
cause of countless babies and
children losing their lives.

clans and leading minds i'm OPP

gain support.
THE viviscctiOnists and their
adherents also told our people
that dogs are given an anaes-
thetic before they are mutilated.
IL was an argument we could
not combat until Mr.. Hearst
published the two full pages of
photographs showing dogs and
