THE WATCH-DOG OF ALEPPO !
'
It isn't in the frozen regions of!
the Arctic Circle and the dangerous
passes of th3 Alps that dogs are he- j
roes. From Aleppo, Syria, comes uie
story of a watch-dog who, by his j
cleverness and devotion, saved the|
lives of a whole family of Armenian!
children when the city was besieged j
by the Turkish Nationalists last win-'
ter.
l*he story comes from Mr. George j
C. Doolittle, Director of Aleppo forj
the Near East Relief, which is oper-i
ating among the destitute Armenians I
and Syrians of Asia Minor. His letter,
just received at the New Yorkj
headquarters, of the organization, j
reads as follows:
"Old Bill, one^ of the two large J
watch-dogs at the Aleppo garage, and j
faithful as large, has become a dis-j
tributor of generai relief. Some time!
npro Said, our night watchman, father !
of $ large and increasing family, had j
cdrifelto the end of his provisions1
s. ? i
cuds knew not where he should pro- j
cujSI jthe next meal. That evening'
BjlfSsialked into the yard and laid;
aT(|h4 feet of the watchman a some-'
W i|f; ^battered but very welcome tin j
oi Jpqat. Where he found it nobody j
kj qw^, probably at a nearby ,-oatap.i
contribution was the saving,
of pif day for Sa'id's family;..-* and|
sinfl jthen Bill' has been elected sto j
thkf^flaff of the Near East Relief,!
h (pili-pry but very active member." j

SENATE TO FOLLOW
HOUSE LEADERSHIP
Washington, June 30.?The senite
will quickly follow the action
af the house in so repairing the original
Volstead act that doctors will
be denied the right of prescribing
beer for patients if they should think
such prescribing necessary.
The fight in the senate will be
short. The fight in the house was
in old fashioned prohibiton struggle
in which the throb of the tomtom
was again resorted to. Men displayed
their passions and their weaknesses.
Sreat statesmen who spend hours
sach day hunting a drink loudly
t*oted beer to its doom. Men who on
.hat. snltrv afternoon would have
arladly paid $10 for a cold bottle of
Budweiser did not hesitate a minute
ibout casting their ballots.
Representative Tillman, of Arkansas
made the most typical prohibition
speech. He based his argument
in the alleged disinclination of IriBhnen
to subscribe to the theories and
practices of prohibition. "I love the
frish," he asid, "ibut grow sad at
heart when I see them asking for
this German brew of hell."
The prohibition masters sat in the
gallery. Representative Hill of Maryland
pointed out Wayne B. Wheeler,
counsel for the Anti-^Saloon League
of America and referred to him as
the attorney paid $50,000 per annum
by John D. Rockefeller. The
prohibitionsts in the house stood on
their legs and loudly applauded their
strategist.
thp Hill wa? finallv naxsed.
there was a remai'kafole demonstration
hy the victors. They proceeded
s if the millinium had been
restored ,and all the troubles of the
world dissipated forever. The only
notable speech against the bill was
made by Representative Cochran of
NTew York. It was not answered, but,
nevertheless, was entirely futile.
Southern statesman voted for the
bill to the man.
The senate will be more sedate.
Senators who oppose prohibition regard
it as an additional enforcement
measure, and will support it, in
all likelihood.
