ployed as the eyes and ears OF an army
in the field, as they are much more re-
liable than man and horse, owing to
invisibllity, for certain reconnaissance

The Airedale terrier can unearth a
patrol which would be hidden to man.
and for carrying information the dogs
are Of considerable value They can
be used between a patrol and the main
body, or for linking up posts, and, be-
ing small, their presence is unnoticed.
A number of pure bred Airedales are
to be obtained for breeding purposes

Jaeger battalion two dogs OF abnormal
intelligence. trained to carry from
front to rear and return. Every regi-
