WASHINGTON, July 2i.-The military
information division of the war depart-
ment has just issued a volume devoted
principally TO description in great detail
Of the large military schools of Europe 1t
also includes topical paper by Lord
Wolseley discussing the possibility Of a
hostile invasion of the British isle, and a
curious publication of the regulations for
the use of war dogs in the German army
From the latter It appears that there are

that 1t is part Of the functions of the
German soldier to train carefully certain
breeds Of dogs TO aid him in both hostile
and defensive operations. The dogs are
not intended actually to fight, but by
training they are made of value In watch
ing camp, in picket duty, in carrying dis
patches and in looking for missing men.
