DOGS OF WAR.

At the time Shakespeare wrote the lines.
Let slip the dogs of war;" he probably had
small idea that his words would one day be
used literally. Yet such will doubtless be
the case in the next European war; In the
armies OF almost every European country
except Great Britain dogs are trained either
as spies. messengers or to render help and
assistance to the wounded. Germany France
Russia, Austria and Italy all have Their bands

states that since 1888 Prussia has employ ed
various kinds of dogs for this purpose, in
Guiding short-haired German pointers, spaniels

care of one man. Almost the entire time of
these men is given up to the training, of the

off piece of his clothing and carry it to
the hospital. when the attendants return with
them to the wounded soldier. Another clever
trick of theirs Is to give an alarm at the
aapproa.eh OF an enemy German being
for the purpose. Another important part Of
the service of the war dog is bringing up am
munition during fight When the battle has
begun the handler takes up a stand near the
ammunition wagon with the dog. AS soon as
he sees ammunition is wanted he loads the
animal With $50 cartridges carried in double

shooters and If successful, return immedi-
ately to the handler, and so continues the
work until the battle is over.
In the French army the chief dogs used are
barbets and Pyrenean sheep dogs. The bar
bets are used because of their great intel
ligence. Their training as a war deg begins
when they are eight months old, and it IS
nearly year before they proficient. The
Russian dogs are chiefly trained to assist the
medical corps in their work and to help in
the humane task of bringing aid as rapidly
as possible to the wounded soldier. Big,
strong dogs are selected for this purpose,

is also tied around their necks. They are
sometimes used to pull small cart on which

tried in actual warfare, and the French in
their wars in Tunis and Algiers used them
to advantage. The soldiers OF the great
white car also employed them during the
war between Turkey and Russia. In savage
warfare. too, they have been found extreme
ly useful in preventing the stealthy savages
stealing up and stabbing or shooting the
sentry. In discovering the wounded on the
field of action the dogs are at their best, and
