PAWTUCKET, R. l., Jan. Louis
Leizotte was shot by his own dog while
squirrel-hunting in the woods near Reho-

a double-barrel gun with him, and sight
ing squirrel high up in an oak, Leizotte

Standing the gun against the tree, Leizotte
began to climb to secure his quarry.
The dog, which from the time of the
discharge of the gun had been running ex-
citedly around the tree, began to Jump

REAL DOGS OF WAR.
Uncle Sam Prop to Employ Canine
Military Squad.

Uncle Sam Prop ,ses to Employ Canin e
Military Squad.
The War Department is seriously con-
emplating the training of dogs for use in
the army. Abroad they have been found
most yaluablein mpaigning, and many
German regiments already have canine
contingents. In fact, the animals are con-
sidered an essential part OF the fighting
organization, and are as carefully drilled
as the men. Before long all of the great
foreign military establishments will have
troops OF four-legged soldiers, and it will
not do for this country to lag behind.
Dogs, properly selected and educated,
make the best sort of scouts and the most
capable carriers OF orders in the field.
They are particularly useful for transmit
ting inform ation, in conveying messages
from advanced patrols and in maintain
ing communication between posts and
pickets. Also ey do excellent work in
hunting up missing men. Their natural
qualities of docility, watcbfulness, speed,
acuteness of senses and affection for men
render them conspicuousIy adapta BILE for
military service. No regiment ought to
be with out dog squad.
Several breeds of dogs are found highly
suitable for military purposes-notably
poodles, shepherd dogs and bird dogs.
The kind does not matter so much as the
quality of the breed, which must be pure.
No mongrel makes a good war dog. 1t is
only in we'll bred dog that the valuable
qualities above mentioned are developed
in q superior degree. Poodles are the
cleyerest OF all dogs, and are frstrate
cam paigners when young; but, unforIun-
ately, they are apt to lose interest in their
work after certain age. The shepherd
dog probably comes next to the pc die in
respect to intelligence. 1t is hardy and
alert, but very frequently it exhibits q
lack of affection for its master, and is
hard to train on that account.
All points considered, bird dogs make
the best war dogs. They unite the good
qualities of the poodle and shepherd dog,
and are distinguished by lively sense OF
duty and q devoted attachment to their
masters. = Under proper training they
soon lose their inclination for hunting
and take up their military duties readily
and with interest. 1t is required of war
dog thas he shall pass through a general
preparatory course of training.
Choice may be made between two meth
ods-one severe and the othar gentle. The
animal may be kept by itself and half
starved so as to compel 1t to surrender
Internationally to the m aster's will. Or
the treatment may be wholly by kindness,
cultivating a mutual confidence between
dog and master and developing the
beasts intelligence The latter method is
considered decidedly preferable. 1t is
more humane and produces better results.
The training of the dog detachment of
