To The Editor:
Evil days have fallen upon
the dogs Of our city. These ami
mails that love freedom as much
or more than human beings are
now by law required to be kept
tied up or confined in yard
This is a hardship for them but
it is also an opportunity for
their owners TO prove their
friendship for their dog. The
ownerwho has any love for his
dog will now provide him with
house and a run so that he
may have some freedom and
exercise. Better Still, he will
provide him with a shelter in
side a closed yard where his
dog will be more contented than
chained. The owner who really
cares for his dog will not put
the dog in the hot sun, he will
put the dog in a cool, shady
place and see that he has fresh
water TO drink and a clean bed
10 sleep on. He will do all
these things TO make his dog
comfortable so he will not bark
and disturb the neighbors.
Animal ownership means re-
sponsibility. II you own a dog
and do not care enough for it
10 give it what It deserves, you
are one Of the many people who
never should be allowed to keep
dog. The dog is mans best
friend. but are you the dog S
best friend? Failure on your
part TO provide the animal with
its needs is a tragedy for the
dog. A dog asks so little and
gives so much in friendship and
companionship and loyalty.
Now is the time for all dog low
ers 10 prove their friendship for
their dogs. Nine out OF ten peo-
pie who own them should never
be allowed TO own a dog. All
of our dog troubles should be
placed where they belong, not
on the dogs, but on those VINO
own them. The Michigan HUI
name Society is compelled to
kill a thousand month. They

The Detroit Edison Company
will continue cross examination
today of Richard A. Sullivan,
Detroit's public utilities rate
analyst. in defense Of its rate
structure before the State Pub
lie Service Commission.
The hearing is being held 10
determine whether the compa-
ny and other public utility COM
panies in Michigan should re-
duce rates so they would no
longer have to pay excess prof
its taxes.
The company said it would
challenge Sullivan's testimony
that the amount the company
charged off for depreciation
costs, which he said more than
doubled between 1888 and 1943
reflected irregular accounting
procedures contrary TO those
fixed by commission rule.

Conventions

Political conventions were not in
vented. They developed out of a
custom as old as history. In the
sense Of being "assemblages of dele
gates representing the members of
a party" they grew out of the
ancient mass meetings of the Greeks
and the mysterious Gothic tribes
which already were crude democra-
cies when they came into Europe
from the East between fifteen and
twenty centuries ago. The pioneer
settlers of the Atlantic Coast of
North America were familiar with
such gatherings in the countries
from which they emigrated. 1t was
not in the New World that the town
meeting originated. Neither did the
caucus system get started here.
Both devices were natural growths,
and from them arose the national
talkfests which now are the most
notably visible and articulate popu-
lar aspect of Government in the
United States.
The leading function" of a con-
vention, as explained by the Amer
icana, lis to nominate the candidates

cuses appointed delegates to confer

nominations for the next larger

conventions, Massachusetts, both
county and congressional conven-
tions. Because of the difnculties of
travel, the legislative caucuses served
as State conventions and designated
national candidates until improve
ment in roads rendered feasible the
prevailing alternative. The first
truly national political convention
was that of the Anti-Masonic Party
at Baltimore in 1881.
Many OF the methods and proce-
dures of the modern partisan assem-
bly, were worked out at that time
or shortly thereafter.

and others of his enemies felt that
he must be removed to a greater
distance from Europe. Negotiations
were started for the purchase of
Saint Helena, property of the East
India Company. News Of the pro-
ceedings, naturally, was reported to
the party most intimately concerned
in the matter. Meanwhile, Louis
XVIII avoided paying the promised
pension. The poverty which de-
veloped when the prisoner" ex-
hausted the funds he had brought
with him was apparent to casual
tourists.
Mystery surrounds the circum-
stances under which Napoleon pre-
pared to attempt "a bold dash" to
recover his throne, which began on
March l, 1915, at Cannes. He arrived
in Paris on March 20. Then followed
the Hundred Days and Waterloo.

Next Allied Move
By Maj. Georse Fisldins Eliot

able power against the villers Bocage
thrust and there are some signs that
they were never thereafter able to re-
cover from the effect Of that effort.
Thereafter the fighting in the Caen-
Tilly area settled down to 4 slugging
match between opponents 50 evenly
matched that neither could gain an ad-
vantage. That was all right from the
Allied viewpoint, since the Allied forces
in .his sector had a holding mission
only for the time being.
But now as we turn our attention to
the next move after the fall of Cher
bourg 1t Is obvious that possession of
the town OF Caen as supporting bastion
for our eastern flank in Normandy will
be of great Importance to us, and it may
turn out that the present British gains
can be expanded until German evacu-
alton Of Caen will become necessary.
The factor which remains unsolved Is
the enemy's intentions Clearly his
power Is diminishing on the Caen- -Tilly
front If he is getting any reinforce
ments into the Normandy fighting at all
he Is not putting them in there. It is
possible that he Is building up counter
attack force for attack farther west, per.
haps at our weakest point-the valley
Of the Wire River north OF st. Lo. He is
undoubtedly doing 50 II he has found
himself able to move in enough troops
to give such an attack q chance of
success. Bad weather may have given
him something Of a break as against
air interference with his freedom of
movement.
But it is also conceivable that Field
Marshal Won Rundstedt had decided on
waiting policy, that he feels that the
handicap Of fighting on q narrow air
isolated battlefield of our selection is
too great for him to accept. In that
case he may assume q purely defensive
attitude while collecting powerful forces
for decisive struggle when he feels
that the time is ripe for 1t and that 1t
may be fought under conditions more
favorable to him.
Furthermore. he must always assume
that the Cherbourg landing may not be
the Allied main effort. but may prove to
be only huge diversion. The German
defense forces in Western Europe are
limited. Won Rundstedt has already
lost four of his original so divisions. He
cannot afford to 60 on frittering away his
troops, which cannot be replaced, until
he has a clearer idea Of just what the
Allied intentions are than he can pos
sibly have At this time.
