This pamphlet is put out by the Cologne firm of Oscar Muller, and was written by Carl 'Hermann Torges, who, in the introduction, says that be is over 70 years of age, has trav- elled all over the world, and has always kept bis eyes open. There- fore, he "appeals for unprejudiced examiaatton of his proposals, the adoption of which may be expected to lead logically to the desired im- provements." The pamphlet is based upon the future needs of the German army, be- cause "the military strength of a peo- pie debenda in part upon the number of men able to bear arms." Ger- many's heavy losses in the war must be made good. and at the same time every effort must be made to meet the decline in the birth rate which was lamented before the war. The writer declares that "the bachelordom of to -day is a cancer which must be extirpated." He denies that the expense of matr- rie life is the main reason why men remain unmarried, and he deals at some length with the economic train- ing of women for marriage. He then Leads up to his main proposals with a chapter which declares that 'the epaception of immortality is reta- tYve," and that -''good morals are only what the upper classes of society ap- prove." The ' eters" are said to give Germany "the justification, in case! of .p.'eegsity, to put the stamp of mo- rality pon what to=day seems un- moral." In any case. ,if the falling eft in b he is to be counteracted.' baebelord must be reduced to the miutmem w tele the circumstances re- quire." The sad proposals are stat- ed as follow:: women in II classes bf society w "be have sea: hail a certain age are, in the Iatereats of the Fatherland, not only authorised blit called upon to enter into 2 Seco ary marriage, which is supported by personal Incli- nation. Only 2 married man may be the ebje&t of this inclination, and he mast have the consent of his married wife. This condition is necessary in order to prevent the mischief which otherwise might surely beeit ted. The offspring of these lawful con- dary marriages bear the nit of their mother, and are handed ovar t0 the care 04 the state, unlees tips mother saauiSes responsibility t them. They are to be regarded In. every respect a. fully equal members of society The mothers wear a nar- row wedd:ng ring as a sign of their patrlotlem The secondary marriage can be dissolved as soon as its object baa been attained." Flsewbrre Herr Torges says that be thinks that the objects of his new in- stitution "an be initialled in twenty years and that secondary marriages be-abaft/Med; 'He euduet, pamphlet as follows:— "The difficulties consist solely In ethical scruples, which, notwtthetand. Ipg•the issue of the proper regula- tions by the state, will continue to operate until conscience has disposed of them. Thus this question becomes a religious question, which can be solved only with tbe help of the clergy. It rests, therefore, with the women and the clergy, assisted by the state, to determine whether Germany shall be able not only to maintain herself on her present pinnacle of morality, but by her own strength to stand up in the future, as In the pres- ent, to the pressure of enemies whe are increasing numerically:" When copies of Herr Torge's pam- phlet reached Switzerland it drew the fire of the Aarganer Volkablatt, a Catholic publication, which asserted that several millions of the pamphlets had been distributed gratis to the Lerman soldiers in the trenches and to all classes of German women at home. and that the pamphlet had had been in circulation for more than six months without a single German newspaper making any protest. The Swiss paper criticizes the Get - mac pamphlet -from every point of view — as Immoral, anti-Christian, and as "a brutal Insult to the dignity of women." It continues: "We assert that if the German Natio44 and all German women 1n particdiar, do not repudiate with fur. ou.4 indfgnatlon this filthy propogan- da on the part of a state which is utterly materialized and has fallen away altogether from every kind of Christian civilization, they are aesum- ng a disgrace that can never be wip- ed out. We note with satisfaction that the circulation of the pamphlet was immediately forbidden In Aus- ria. although Austria Is hardly a gar- den of lilies. and has lost far more men in this war than Germany has oat. "ft is deeply regrettable that a'sa- lon should think of having recourse o such methods In eider to force Its domination upon Europe—dedicating children yet unborn to a future mas- sacre of the peoples. This theory proves better than anything else that those peoples are right who nay that the German people must be freed non Prussian hegemony by a deLi- 1,. defeat, and must be rut oft teem the possibility of bringing yet again surer a terrible blood -bath upon man- kind. Painful though it may be, such grave aberrations of an utterly God- e.e doctrine of power, parading un- -r a meek of piety, compel one to raw hard and unflinching conclru- enR: for above the welfare Of a na- as stands, atter all, the welfare of u:naa seetiety—above a11, the metal 'der." 1/ Any Child's Hat 49c ('hi W reu'K Hats, trimmed or untrimmed, plain or corded velvet stapes. 30 to 40 of them.

SHEEP BREEDERS LOSE HEA- ViLY BY RAVAGES OF DOGS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ANNUALLY LOST TO KENT COUNTY FARMERS One ot the question. of Importance which came before the Kent county council at the seestona of December and January was that of stray doge and the effect which "dog raleing" hen on the sheep industry. A special committee wan named to cognlder the gnestlon and present a re- port to the council. A foil at of Im- portant report was presented by Chairman McKenzie )net before the close of the January sese10.1. The report was as follows:— Harrison Bell, Jan. 24, 191R. To the Warden and Members of the Council of the Connty of Kent. We, ynnr special eommlttee appoint- ed at the December mention to Inquire Into the sheep Industry of thl* ooanty with parttenlar reference to the Injury done that industry hy doge, heg leave to report: e have collected all the data we could get. and may be permitted to say at the outset that it la not possible to get accurate flernree, either as to the number of cheep or the number of dogs in thio county. We have, hos—mi.. secured estimates that we believe are fairly correct. We find that there are, approximately 21 294 cheep in this county, having a value of 1500,000. and that during the year 1917. '272 sheep were killed or injured by dogs, for which a sum of 93.738.50 was paid by the different munlcipalitiee of the county. We also find the number of doge in the county as below: in the township. 3410 in the townie and vlllagto In the city of Chatham '1:1.5 410 Total 41s5 Your committee are M the opinion that were it not for the danger of lotto from dogs many would increase their ,flocks of sheep and many more who now are not In the Industry wonld glad- lyavail themselves of the hiuh prices that are now ruling for iambs and wool. We feel that we are well within the mark when we estimate that the nnrn- her of sboep now kept In this county would beet titian doubled were the dog menace removed. That meant that the doge of this county, or at least an impmper enntrol of the dogs. 1R t'esponsiblp for a lees to the county of at leant 1+,00.000 in the sheep industry alone. Mr. Warden, you will agree with thin committee when we say that thle does not represent by any means the lona snetalned by this county beoause ot. dogs. Sheep, In addition to the revenue they bring to title county through the nal. of lambs and wool, aro of very great value to the land on which they live, in thle connection world It be (ligresting to suggest that an effort be made to have more sheep on the mad Rides of this county. Weerlu and other unsightly growths on the roadsides cowld In this way be eliminated and very much pasture now going to waste could be turned Into mach needed food production. it might be necessary to have the statutes amended no as to make the drivers of automobiles re- sponsible for any sheep they might damage while driving on the roads. To return—we are of the opinion that ,the loss to agrlcultere In thin county chargeable to dogs is at leant 1300,000. From this, of course, meet be (Inducted the coat of keeping and feeding the extra sheep that might be kept. in addition to this there are many other lois/tee, that are directly or In. directly chargeable to doge. Someone In the neighboring republic, atter in• vestlgatton, eatimateq the tented raft of feeding a dog at $34.00. We onnslder that estimate ton high, Met snppoae It coatis only half of thrt, tuppnee It root. less than one-third of that amount, lay 910 per year, we still have the appalling amount of POMO worth of foodetnffs walled every year in this county, In chiding the dry of Chatham. Surely, Mr. Warden, as Rile time of I great scarcity of focdstntte this alone should stake the question of leeseting the number of dogs one of considerable Importaocc. \1-e are of the opinion that the keep- ing of dogs and tate In our homes Is a relic of barbarism and anything that can he done to curtail this evil will ho in the way of conferring ► blessing on humanity. We are of the opinion that thio coup- ' ell sbould petition the Legislature to have that statue amended as follows.: ('louse 3, Rub. Section 1, should make the minimum tax 93 for a dog and 115 for each additional dog, and 15 for a bitch with a maximum tax of 1.5 for a I dog and 110 fns a bitch; Sub. Sec. 3 I should he amended to make the license for a registered kennel 125. Any sinner who permits his clog to roarer at ' large should be made liable to a heavy penalty. Section 9 should be a 4lended to reset, any person may kill a'dog which he aces roaming at large. We believe the aeseas"rs generally have been somewhat lax in the per forruance of their dutlea in regard to the registration of dogs. The armee noes should receive explicit Instructions from heads of munlcinallties, and should be given to understand that section 7, Ruh. section 3 would be en• forced. This section reads (sec. 7, sub. sec 31, an assessor who fails to carry out the provislonn of sac. 4 shall incur a penalty of 110. Now, Mr. Warden, we feel etmngly on this question. It is a most Impor- tant apd urgent one. We believe It thread he urged mem the legislature, it should also he taken up with other conntict, with a view to securing their co-operation in thin matter. All of which Is respectfully submit- ted. W. MCKgNzte., Chairman. END STOMACH TROUBLE.
