Dogs Trained as Scouts.

The London Standard few weeks ago pub
lished curious account of the experiments
which are being made In the French army for
training dogs to act as scouts, messengers and
sentinels. When dog is ON messenger duty
two men are detached from an outpost and walk
about a mile, their companion being led by his
collar. One Of the men then returns to the
starting point, and the dog, whenever he is
let loose, runs back to the outpost with
message in a bag tied to his back.
The sentinel dogs are said to scent strangers
hundred yards OF, and directly they
do SO begin to bark and growl. The
training necessary for the scouts is moro elab-
crate, as they have to be taught to search
fields and thickets, in which soldiers dressed
In foreign uniformS are lying in ambush.
As soon as the animals find the enemy
1t Is their business to run back to their
own friends, and so to report what they
have seen. 1t is fun ther hoped that the dogs
viii prove useful for sending ammunition and
food to patrols and detachments on outpost
duty. The spectacle of these four-footed re-
cruits at drill must be q very interesting one,
especially as all the ours of the neighborhood
turn out to watch their fellows at work, regard
ing them apparently with no little envy and
admiration. On the whole, the London
Spectator saye, IL cannot feel much satisfaction
in this new development Of military science.
To make them useful the dogs will have to
be kept as savage as wolves. and this being
the case they are not unlikely to attack the
