THE USE OF DOGS IN WAR.

The use OF dogs i'm war dates back
To the Greeks and Romans but the
modern idea of training them for spe-
cial military service was born in 1886
in Germany, and for the past ten or
twelve years each battalion OF German
jagers has had eight or ten dogs as
signed TO it for Ibis Training. The LMa
or three dogs mus falling to each COM
pany are placed under the care Of

and each regiment has an officer detail

The dog is 10 be used .or various spe-
cial dules. such as the service Of in
formation and security or scouting, on
marches and rec0nnOissances and in
patrols. sentinel duty with the outposts
as messengers on both these duties, as
carriers OF supplies and ammunition
on the battlefield. and to hunt up the
wounded after battle.
To test the results thus far obtained,
a number OF dogs belonging 10 various
regiments were assembled at Oels IN
Prussian Silesia last july FOR trial
There were sixteen dogs in all six OF
them under two wears old. They were
tried on the following points: Conduct

by placing the dog with his master at
an outpost giving only limited view
