The more desperate Germany's plight becomes the more bluft" it will put up; the more it offers peace on its own terms, the more the traitors In congress who represent Germany and not the United States will per jure themselves and work against this country and for Germany. i The sentimental neurotic degen erates among women who flood a murderer's prison cell with flowers and scented notes will have many Imi tators who will seek to save Germany, i the international rapist and murderer, from Just punishment for Its crimes* i Millions of men have been killed, murdered, because of Germany's tight i to conquer the world; hundreds of I thousands of women have been out raged by her brutal otiieers and pri vates; innocent babies have died in numbers too great to be recorded; fathers and mothers and wives have gone to untimely graves in the awful agony of suffering through the suffer ings of their loved ones. Hut weak minded degenerates, men and women, led by Germany's lecherous traitors in America and to eivilizatlon, will si niggle to save Germany from de feat and punishment. Let such people be branded now as the accomplices of the rapists and the murderers, the favored friends of bar barism run rampant; and let. every honest, woman and decent man forever shun and ostrnsize every deegenerate man or woman who under the false cry of peace joins in the effort to save Germany from paying the full penalty ?'f its hell-born and hell-guid ed work.?Manufacturer's Record. -r-r - 1 Hfutberl News Notes.

The bulldog of the Kameralda, packet freighter i'or the settlements between Portland and Machlas, In Intelligence and accomplishment*. 1h reckoned a jmragou of dogs. In I'ortlaud he walks Uptown with the captain and returns alone with any purchuaea and newspa pers which may t>e Intrusted to him. He even brings back meat, and this quota of self-restraint puts him In a class by himself, Ilolman I>ay writes In Harper's Magazine. One day, according to legend, this dog was actor In an affair which has been debated warmly ever since; It gives rise to the argument whether the dog is the wisest of his generation or Just ? pinln canine fool. There Is no middle ground among the disputants along the water front. The event Itself was sulllclently grotesque to uierlt mention. The captain decided to test the dog's Intelligence as a shopper. Therefore ke put a coin Into a basket which he hitched to the animal's collar. And then rapped his knuckles on an outspread newspaper, getting the dog's undivided attention. Lastly, he i?olnted up the wharf and told the dog to "flit!" Fldo obeyed with alacrity and went up the wharf's roadway In a cloud of dust. At the head of the long wharf there was a bold terrace of a little park whose Irish caretaker had turned out to graze his pair of pet goats, hitched together with a short leash. The dog dashed up the terrace and overtook the frightened goats, setting his Jaws on the leather leash with his best grip. The goats leaped from the embank ment, carrying the dog with them, and landed on a fruit peddler's dozing horse, a goat on each side, like' saddle bags; the leash held, and so did the bulldog. Down the wharf went the outfit, and the terrified horse did not pause when he reached the end; he leaped over the rail of the Esmeralda nnd went flat on deck in a tangle of harness, goats nnd dog. After matters had been set right. In cluding pay to the fruit merchant and apologies to the goat owner, the cap tain took Fldo to on? side and dispar aged his Intelligence, rnpplng his knuckles once more on the newspaper nnd Informing the canine shopper that lie had not been sent for goats or ba nanas. "Just n minute, sir!" broke In the cook, who was listening. ''Do you no tice what you have been rnpplng your hand on?" The captain looked at the sheet. Tt carried a big advertisement of bock beer with a goat rampant In the middle of It. Helmets Save Soldiers' Lives. A British medical correspondent commenting upon some recent French statistics, snys: "Out of 55 cnscs of head Injury it was found, for exam ple, that 42 occurred In KOtdiers who wore no helmets. Among the 42 there wore 23 fractured skulls. The remain ing 19 cases suffered from severe sculp wounds. Among the 13 cases which wore helmets there was not a single fracture of the skull; eight showed some concussion effects, and Ave had slight wounds. A considerable num ber of the unprotected cases dlfd; none of the protected died. The most significant fact which has emerged since the helmet was Introduced was emphasized by Doctor Houssy at the Academy of Medicine last year. He said that the percentage of cases show ing wounds In the head had Increased. The reason was, of course, that the number of sudden deaths from the cause had markedly decreased." Qood Year for Doctors. "This Is certainly a great year for doctors," remarked an Interne, accord ing to a New York correspondent. "Only a few years ago there were so many M. D.'s with their shingle out here that some of them had to take up other business to keep the wolf from the door. But now there Is a dearth of these professional men. In fact, they are so scarce that almpst every day editorials or advertisements are printed calling for '10,000 doctors for the Prejoch army* or '15,000 doctors wanted^on the British battle front.' The figures are growing all the time, and very soon It is likely, unless Rus sia recovers quickly from her 'political and social delirium tremens,' we shall receive a demand for 50,000 alienists for the Russian revolution. It U a great pity governments.don't really ap preciate what a doctor's life Is Worth over there." Scientist's War 8ervlce. Dr. Alexis Carrel, one of the great est of living surgeons, head of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re search and winner of the Noble prize for science in 1012, is forty-four year# old. Doctor Carrel, who is a native of France, Is how wearing the "horizon bine" field uniform of a French lieu tenant, having been sent by the Rocke feller Institute to the front at the out break of the war to conduct an exten sive inquiry into modern war surgery. For his invaluable services to the French wounded, the French govern ment has bestowed upon him the crosli of the Legion <k Honor. Doctor Car rel looks upon America as his real home, and after the war will return to" New York to resume direction of the Rockefeller Institute. - : { ^ SAVE YOUR HAY Mules, Horses, Cowb and Hogq have to be foil and it is very important that we save every blade of grass for win to? supply of tough food.
