ST. BERNARD DOGS !
ECONOMYVICT1S1
All but Six at Famous Monastery v
Killed to Save Meat
Supply.
HOW PARIS IS REGULATED '
g
Breaa Shortage Affects the French ^
More Senously Than Any Other?
Meat Scarce and Costly r
in Belgium. L1
Paris.?All but six of the famous a
St. Bernard dogs kept by the monks s
of that ancient monastery in the Alps
have been killed. Shortage of meat
caused by the war led to this mas- j(
sacre.
The St. Bernard pass is of historical v
renown. It connects the valleys of v
the Rhone and the Dora Baltea. It f
was traversed by Roman legions thou- t
sands of years In medieval times v
the pass served the armies of conquer- s
ors and the bands of mercenaries. Na- s
poleon crossed the Alps at this point j
in 1800. r
The great monastery was built in s
the middle of the sixteenth century, j
It was maintained for the relief of
travelers who were surprised by snow
storms while crossing the pass. The
St. Bernard dogs were used to find the ?
frozen victims of the storms in* the x
snowdrifts. They were specially train- o
ed for this work of relief and carried
the first aid to the injured in a little 5
basket attached to their collars. These *
dogs rescued thousands of human be- ^
ings, many of whom were of historic
prominence. And for the first time in (
the history of this famous monastery ^
the dogs had* to be slaughtered for t
want of food. t
Human Food First Interest. j
At other times a report of this sort
would create profound interest in Pans,
but at present the human race is
thinking of its own necessities and *'
cares less about dog heroes living .
more than 8,100 feet above the surface *
ot the sea.
Today the people of France are re- *
stric-ted in the consumption of meat, ?
bread or any other article of food in *
the making of which dough or flour is ?
used, and sugar. There are three '
rr.eatless days and to prevent anyone ?
| buying meat in advance the rule re- *
' stricts purchases to 200 grams of
[ meat oo a day preceding a meatless "
; day.
The sale of meat is prohibited ]
j Wednesdays, Thursdays ana rriaays.
i Id hotels and restaurants no guest is
I entitled to* more than 100 prams of
i meat as part of a meal Tuesdays. This
I lestrietion is aimed at hoarding.
| y^ven slaughter houses are entirely
dosed the meatless days. Thus the
attempt is made to prevent as far
as possible any violation of the rule.
! Of course any attempt at enforcing
J restrictions of this sort in the prov?r.ces
would be needless. French peasj
ants eat little meat, once or twice a
i week at the most, if at all.
| The average Englishman consumes
i much less meat. England had three
meatless days a week, applied to res- ?
i taurants and similar dining rooms, be- j
j pinning in the summer of 1917. How- ?
! ever, these meatless days were abol- '
j ished, the order taking effect May 17
| this year. In place of the former re- |
I strictions a meat card was issued.
This card entitled the holder to a cer- |
tain amount of meat, which he may
Miy four specified days in the week.
Englishmen are consuming about
double the amount of meat eaten by
the same number of Frenchmen at |
present. ",
French frugality in meat is the|
j more remarkable as it is accompanied j
1 " 1 r. s-1 *.rt
j ny a similar ana mut-n tuurr umoia
! restriction in the consumption of
j bread. "A Frenchman," according to a
i neace-time wit, "is a gentleman who
j wears a decoration and orders an ex|
tra portion of bread." Bread has been
| The staff of life of the French people.
Still France is in a better position
iban adjacent countries. Meat is very
scarce and costly in Belgium. In Antwerp
one has to pay 20 francs for a
j?ound of meat and 30 francs for a
pound of bacon. In Meerle. near Ant
werp, a butcher paid 2,G2o francs for
a two-year-old steer. Cows are sold
for 5.000 and goats for r>00 francs.
Swiss Regulations Strict.
{ At Val tie Travers, Switzerland, two
I butchers were found guilty of having
; violated the government rule reguj
lating the price of calves. The butehi
ers were fined 1,500 francs each, and
i -vlll have to pay the cost of the trial.
I while 15 farmers, to whom tne nuienI
7
ers had paid more than the maximum
1 price allowed, were acquitted by the
| jury. |
In the course of proceedings in the
court it was shown that an army of- ,
ficer of the commissary department in
buying cattle for the army had also 1
paid more than the maximum price 1
permitted. Now the state's attorney
is going to prosecute the army officer '
I for the same offense for which the two
1 hr.tphprs wprp found CUiltY. , I
In Vienna meat rations for hotels,1
| dining rooms and boarding houses
) %.vere cut 20 per cent, beginning July
1. Even meat supplies for hospitals
' were reduced 10 per cent. This !
caused increased prices. I <

Just as soon as he gets out of the

curries around for pen and paper and
its down to tell Vm all about it. And

earning of this scarcity, soon aranged
to supply all contingents. It
ent out seven million sheets of writng
paper and some 3,500,000 envelope>

With the tremendous growth of th*
'xpeditionary frrce, orders have beer
acreased and the estimate for next
-ear is 120,000,000 sheets of paper an<i
!0,000,000 envelopes.
This means that the Yanks will us(
ibout 720 tons of writing materials?
'20 tons of news and comfort for the

And when the censor officers stop tc

|J With the American Army jn $
|? France.?It was a quiet week H
I on one of our Lorraine sectors,
where American and German |j
I trenches run close together. The 4
b sun came up one morning on a jj
jj huge placard hoisted from the >3
5? German front line and bearing )j
| this in English: 4
?* "Welcome, Yankees, of the 3
$. Blankety-Blank division. Did you ?
? bring coffins with you?" '
A couple of hours later this ?
* sign, in German went up on our J
$? front line:
fj "No, but we brought a lot: of !
* Hcii." ;
Jj The next morning the Ger- >
? mans opened with this one: I
? "Yankees, spend the day in ?i
* prayer. We kill you tonight." |j
* And this was the answer from H
r our trenches: )]
fj "Germans, give your hearts ?
and souls to Jesus, because ^
? we've got your goats." H
|j Something about this sign an- q
? gered the Boches. They riddled
* it with rifle bullets and thereup- n
$? on the placard warfare was off. jj

'Incident Which Shows How the Y. M.

By E. M. BATCHELOR.
"No boys, I'm not so very tired," !
said the Y. M. C. A. secretary. "Just !
a little after a week of that," Indicat- j
ing with a wave of his hand the coun-.
try behind, from which came incessant
sounds of artillery and machine-gun
fire.
But he was dead tired, and the amu..inn/in

a ride knew it. The secretary's head |
bobbed from side to side as the ambulance
thumped along the rough road.
At intervals the Y. M. C. A. man slept,
roughly roused whenever a shell-hole
jolt threw him against the side of the
vehicle.
The ambulance was stopped by the j
side of the road so that the driver
might tighten a loos? bolt.
"I guess I'll lie down for a.minute
while you are working," said the Y M. j
C. A. secretary. In a second he was
sound asleep by the road.
An hour later the driver shook him.
"Sorry to wake you up," he said,
"but I absolutely must be getting on.
I'm likely to be court-martialed now
for being so long on this job, but I
would rather take a 'month and a
* ** -M
month' than have ronDea you 01 uuu
sleep. I decided that the war could
go on for an hour without me, while
you tore off 40 winks."
This is just one of many instances
showing how the Y. M. C. A. stands
with the army. That driver had vol|
untnrily risked getting into trouble
