pause and reflect fur a moment on
the great debt the Allies owe to their
dumb friends, millions of whom were
killed at the post of duty. 'Po what
extent these am eutals knew that they
were helping ler musters in a
problem, of CO U1-40, but there can
be not the sltgittoat doubt that the
dug, at least, ehich were used for
tarrying messages under fire, ap-
preetate-d that' danger and that only
their tlaefity urged them to take the
risks. The dugs on trench duty
too, knew their friends from their
enemies and the trench dogs hated
a Hun as bitterly as did their Plan-
ters. lienees, too, are Intelligent
enough to know when they are ex-
posed to danger, and hundreds of
thousands of \them were well train-
ed enough to face- thin danger
bravely.
In fact, if animals did not win the
war, it would have been Impossible
to win it without them. indeed, it
Is said that the failure of the Ger-
man horse supply was a strong con-
tributing factor to the final over-
throw. To import horses was im-
possible for Germany a.nd her asso-
ciates. Wheu her own sle�lpply and
the supplies of Turkey, Alistrta and
Bulgaria were exhausted there were
no more horses to be had. Germany
had a magnificent establishment
when the war began, because for
many years the German Government
subsidized the breeding of thtorough-
bred horses, and paid huge sums for
the best sires to be bad in England.
Hungary, too, was a great borne
country, and when the German
armies overran a great part of Rua -
ale they seized hundreds of thou-
sands of horses. The Allies, on the
other hand, had an Inexhaustible
supply to draw upon In the United
States from the day war broke out,
and imported also mlllione of mules,
which for some purposes were area
more valuable.
Thousands of elephants were
used by the British on the eastern
front to haul guns, and hundreds of
them were killed. It is said that
more than 120,090 camels were
killed in the course of the war. Some
campaigns were fought with ele-
phants and camels almost the sole
means of transport. Even gold fah
were pressed into service, though
we cannot give the gold frah credit
for much patriotism. They were
conscripts all. The little ash were
used by the scientists to identify the
character of the various German
poison gassea. The method adopted
was to put the gaa-soaked helmets
of the Allied soldiers into a tank
containing gold fish. These clever
little insects then absorbed Rao
various chemicals into their own
bodies, which were then dissected
and the poisons discovered. Guinea
pigs, white mice and other humble
creatures were called upon to play
similar roles at the hands of vivi-
sectionists. Even reindeer took a
part In the Russian campaign, but
reindeeir are not greatly honored, be-
cause /of the unfortunate fact that
they have not been able to avoid
helping the Bolsbevists.
Without the service of homing
pigeons proper communication be-
tween headquarters and the front
lines would have been impossible in
many cases. Despite the moat elabor-
ate system of telephone, telegraph
and heliograph there were timet'
thousands of them, when messages
had to be sent by homing ' pigeons.
Hundreds of thousands of them were
used in -the war. In the Battle of the
Somme alone 6,100 were flown by tete
Allies, and through that interne only
two per cent. failed to win throua4.
A.homer, fastest Hier of pigeons, cap-
able in some circumstances of a speed
of a mile a minute or even more, is
a difficult mark for a rifleman, and
when wires were destroyed and the
distance to be covered too great er
the path too dangerous for a mad
or a dog, the pigeons were sent
through. Hundreds of them were
decorated •fly the French Govern-
ment during the war, and some of
them to -day are entitled to wear the
decoration of the Legion of Honor- _
But for er lculated bravery ama�t�
animals the palm must be awarded
to the dog. The Belgians have ■
breed of dog, as have tile Germane,
specially adapted for police work.
The French used these dogs and the
English employed strong te
like the Atednle. There are
instaneee of the devotion of a • 4
to his master saving the lives u[
hundreds of soldiers by
timely warning. It happened tooften
that a contingent. of soldiers weltMd
be cut off by the enemy Ore, anal in
this position discover information as
to the location of batteries or other
matters of vital importance to head-
quarters. Time and again these meg-
sages were'sent back by trained dogs.
Some of the veteran messengers were
quite as conscious+ of their danger
as human bedngs, and would take
advantage of cover as cleverly as a
panther stalking ttri prey.

Why He Was Acquitted.
Among the many stories of unex-
pected acquittals, one of the most
;amusing was that told by the late
lir Frank Lockwood against himself.
When on circuit, he had been de -
:ending a prisoner. Although he had
done his best for him, he thought
the case was so hopeless that he was
surprised when the man was
sequined,
On returning to London, Sir Frank
saw the man at the rails -ay station.
"I strongly advise you to be careful
for the future," he said to hint. "I
am sure I could never get you off
again."
"1 don't think you could," replied
the man. "The fact is, my brother -
In -law was foreman of the jury, the
last man on the front bench was my
cousin, and a man at the back owed
me 560."

ROYAL BETROTHAL AGITATES
JAPAN -
Japan has not escaped the currents
of unrest and dissatisfaction that are
sweeping oyer the rest of the world,
result'
) in Bolshevism in one land,
qg a d,
labor disputes in ane threats
ate i another and d t ea s
of revolution in a third. Japan in
one sense medieval, is in many' others
modern, even though her political
system can hardly be 'classed in the
latter. The country is now in a
ferment caused by the betrothal of
the Crown Prince, and some observ-
ers believe that the trouble may yet
lead to a great victory fur the Lib-
eral or progressive party which in
the ordinary course of events would
cut arrive at a position cif power
for many years to come. That this
would be a good thing for Japan
few disinterested persons can doubt.
Japan has been tau long under the
government of the militarist .and
aristocratic parties. Her junkers
are in control, and though to the
rest of the world they have never
shown the insolence that is c'Iharac•
teristic of the German junkers,
nevertheless they are as a class re-
actionarlr and more interested in
preserving their long standing privi•
leges than in improving the lot of
the common people.
The Japanese Liberals have nothing
to do directly with the engage-
ment of the Crown Prince, That
issue has involved the two ruling
clans, namely, the Chosu and the
Satsuma and while they are rend-
ing each other the ,t.liird party
stands expectantly by hoping to
profit. The quarrel is one of sev-
eral years' standing. It had its be-
ginning when the Emperor of Japan
had his son and heir engaged to the
Princess Nagako. '!here was held
tc be two objections to this mar-
riage. In the first place, the Prin-
cess was not of the royal blood, and
it is rarely indeed that a ruler of
Japan is married to anyone not of
this status. The practice is for
the heir to the throne to take as
wife some distant cousin. The
greater objection lies in the fact
that Nagako belongs to the Sat-
uma family. Now the Satsuma
family, while of the same rank as
the Ohosu clan, is also its rival. Nbr
generations the Satsumas have sup-
plied Japan with whatever naval
officers were required, while the
Chosus have been the army officers.
As regards prestige the two clans
may be said to be on an equality,
but thanks to the leadership of
Prince Yamagata, the Chosus have
been in power for the past ten
years. Wtltatever honors or emolu-
ments were to be distributed were
kept within this clan by the Prince
who in that time has exerted greater
influence in " his country than Cle-
mencenu in France, Lloyd George
in England 'or Wilson in the United
States. He has been the dictator.
In Japan the Emperor is accord-
ed a popular reverence that is
strange indeed in the eyes of Occi-
dentals. He is the head of the state.
He is also the head of the national
religion. He is regarded as a sort
of demigod. But his direct political
influence is small. It is a Japanese
belief that it is beneath the dignity
of the emperor to meddle with or-
dinary affairs. He is supposed to
dwell aloof and confer on terms of
entire equality with the gods of the
race. Any utterance he might
choose to make, and he makes a
few, are regarded as divine reve-
lations. For some time after the
Japanese renaissance the Emperor
did retain the veto power over na-
tional hills and statutes, but he was
quite willing to delegate this author-
ity to the Privy Council which means
the Government of the day, and for
ten years the chief authority in this
council has been Yamagata.0
Just as the Emperor has kept
out of politics, statesmen were sup-
posed to keep their •hands off mat-
ters that pertained to the royal per-
son and household. Among these
was the choice of suitable wives and
husbands for his family. It was
only because the Chosu clan felt
that its prestige would be seriously
impaired by the elevation of a Sat-
suma to be Empress that its leaders
ventured to oppose the royal will.
This they dared not do openly, for
there is enough medievalism in Japan
to -day to lead io a swift beheading
of any subject so impious. A whis-
pered campaign of slander was
carried on. What was whispered
we do not know, but it would•be de-
rogatory to the Princess. She might
be accused of ill health, of weak -
mindedness or some other disqualifi-
cation. The. fact that she has long
been on terms of affectionate in-
timacy with the royal family is
something that might not be gen-

but her personality; nor is it of po•'

The matter came to a head when
the Satsumas exposed the plot
against the ,Princess in a sensational
planner. This naturally turned
popular opinion against Prince Yam,
agata and his clan. I1'.e' was ,forced
to resign and with him various other

the Choses have lost their- oppor-
tunity to direct national affairs for
many years to come. It will be sup-

their rivals, but this appears not to

Buster and Lord Castlereagh mov-
ed up the several flights between
the poet's latest and -earliest abiding -
places with their muster, and seemed
actually glad to be back in their old
quarters. Their cheerfulness could
be easily accounted for. Rat -holes
were an unknown commodity on the
first floor, though numerous in the
attic, and the dignity of 'behavior
Rueter thought incumbent on him to
assume in honor of rising fortune
had proved irksome in the extreme
to that worthy youth.
Leaving the lad to attend to the
details pf the removal, Moore, after
signing his contract with McDermot,
sought the soothing comforts of the
country, as was his custom when ins
trouble, and hied :•tmeelf to a little
fishing village not far distant.
One afternoon a week later Buster
was seated in his favorite attitude,
his chair tipped back on its rear legs
and his feet, considerably higher than
his head supported by the table, idly
contemplating the daily mail which
had Not been delivered,
There were only two letters. Up

imrrlediately abandoning him to what
they believed 'would be permanent
ruin.
) One of the two letters in Buster's
poaiieasion hada plump outline that
seemed to indicate an inclosure of
some bulk. This had the name of
the Gazette printed upon it. Buster
shook Ms head disgustedly, The size
of the mirseive seemed ominous. The
other letter was neutral in impres-
sion -giving. •Jt might hold. a check,

Buster sighed and, as was his wont,
addressed himself to the bulldog, who
from the window was solepinly con-
templating the - passing throng on
the street „below.
"That's a nice mile for a poet half
the maggietood hof Mr. Moore, heint
it, your lordship? Cites 'em, they
thinks we is down to st'y, doy't
they? Well, we'll show 'em a thing

The bulldog regarded his master
admiringly over his brawny shoulder,
and switched his butt of a tail vigor-
ously back and forth upon the floor.
This manoeuvre sent fluttering a hit
of paper that lay near him, and Lord
Castlereagh, becoming inunediately
persuaded that he had a butterfly
within easy reach, leaped vigorously
in pursuit.
"You're a fool," remarked Buster,
as the animal scuttled aceass the floor
in detig'hted chase of the paper. Then
waxing philosophical, he contig ed,
"Hit wuz hever thus. We weeks up
suthin' with houe tiles that flies, and
we thinks 'hit his fime and fortune,
hand pursoos hit only to find hout
we 'as bilked hourselves wid a kim-
ming-reror hor fast fiding plant-has-
me-goryer."
Absurdly satisfied with himself for
having rid his mind of such import-
ant and many -jointed words success-
fully, Buster began to whistle, play-
ing a merry tune more or leas rem-
iniscent of "Sally in Our Alley" on
an instrument which his master .had
presented to hips the first week of
their acquaintance. This was none
other than the whistle that Moore
lad made the very afternoon on,
which he quarrelled with Bessie at
the schoolhouse,—a bit of manufac-`,
taring he. had often since regretted,
for Buster had treasured it carefully,
and was much given to using it for
shrill improvisation, as well as care-
ful rendition of the various airs then
popular with the masses, finding it
particularly adapted to the high notes
of "The Last Rose of Sumpter," then
in the heyday of its success.
Suddenly he felt his chair tip back-
ward in a manner quite unwarranted
by the care with which he was main-
taining a delicate balance, and jump-
ed to his feet with a loud yell, finding
himself, when he turned, face to face
with Mrs. Malone, who had entered
unnoticed, the sound of her heavy
tread being drowned by his melody.
"For goodness' siker" he exclaimed
wrathfully, "you mustn't do sich
rambunctious things, hole woman.
You just scared me houter seven
years' growth hand I can't afford to
lose no sich hamount."
"Niver mind that," replied the
landlady. "It's many the fright°
you've given mer you little tinker. Is
Mr. Moore back from the country?"
"See 'ere, hisn't the rent pide?"
demanded Buster.
"Av course it's paid," replied Mrs.
Malone, scornfully. "D' ye ''ink I
tihavent?no ''oughts at all but about me
"
"Well," confessed Buster, "once
hupon a time, hit sorter looked has
'ow you wuz bestowing considerable
medication 'upon that topic. Hif hit
didn't, bli' me, that's hall, just bli'
tie,"
"Is Mr. Moore back from the coun-
try?" repeated Mrs. Malone.
Yes, your Majesty," replied the
boy, with a low obeisance, 'Ee his.
'Ee returned this werry noon from
the 'opts hof nachoor."
"It is just a week since Ile wint
away," " observed
Mrs Malone, reflec-
tively.
Ow does yer keep count?" asked
Buster, •surprised at the accdracy of
her remark.
"Faith, thot's an easy gather," she
answered, sagely. "Hasn't Misthress
Dyke called to see him sivin times?"
"She 'as, your 'Ighness, she 'aa "
"That's once for each day, and
liven days makes a week, doesn't
rt,`Ifi never wuz a good 'and hat
arithmetic, but Hi 'as faith in the
correctness of your calculation," re-
spended Buster.
"Siven times has she called and so
disapinted each time that he hasn't
returned. Did yez give her his
adthress?"
Hi did not, coz has 'ow Hi ex-
pected 'im 'ome hevery day. Hit'll
do 'er good, Mrs. Malone. Disap-
pointments is diselplinationary, hand
diseiplination his wot Womens need.
Hit mikes 'eb contented like. Oh, Hi
tells yer, Mrs. Malone, mY wife '11
