DOGS IN WAR.
How the 81. Bernard Ministers TO s1e
Wounded Russian Soldier.

WOunueu RUSSIAN Soldier.
In the present day the British nrmy
seems the only one i'll which dogs arc
not trained either as spies, messengers
or to help the wounded. The Germans
French, Austrians, Russians aud Ital-
ians havo all found them to be worth
the trouble. The Germans have devoted
themselves chiefly to the training of
dogs for carrying messages to and from
outposts and pickcts and the main bodies
of troops. For this purpose thoy find
pointers arc tho best, but Scotch sheen
dogs and short haired sporting dogs arc
much liked as are also the clever littlo
Pomeranians, which learn very quickly
and are very strong and swift. In tho
German army the best trainers are tho
men of the jaeger regiments, and a spe-
cial officer and 4 special body of men
are told off to look after tho dogs. They
are taught to march without ftisking
about, to avoid barking, but, with their
wonderfully quick enr to warn if stran-
gers are near, by pointing or by low
growl. They are trained to carry mes
sages up to az miles by known roads,
and beyond that distance to find their
same uniform they are taught to be
obedient.
In the Russian army kind of big St
Bernard mastitf is used; also wolf and
sheep dogs. These, equipped with IL
flask containing brandy or soup and a
packet of bandages hung round their
necks, arc taught to find out the wound
cd lying among bushes or uneven ground
and to offer them restoratives, standing
meanwhile with their forefeet planted
and barking to attract attention. They
are even harncssed to little handcarts,
such as we SEQ them use in Belgian
and German towns, and can drag two
wounded men. The French, in their
wars i'll Tunis and Algiers, have used
dogs; also the Russians in their last
Turkish war. In Austria they have been
employed to discover ambuscades. The
Dutch i'll Acheen found them most use
full i'll preventing solitary sentries in
thick jungle outposts being surprised by
stealthy natives. The Italian sentries in
the Alps are always accompanied by
dogs. United Service Magazine.
