would easily enable the enemy, led by a daring leader and crawling along the ground, to seize the ssntries and then fall on the main body, more particular ly if the sentries were fatigued with marching, or suffering from severe cold, or in foggy weather. Therefore, it is necessary, as in Germany and else- where, to provide all sentries with an auxiliary who will hear anything at a long distance, and protect them from any surprise. This auxiliary is a trained war dog A war dog should bs attached to each double sentry.
 "A dog can hear anybody coming at night when four or five hundred yards away according as the wind is favora, ble or not, if the night is absolutely calm. But whatever the night may be, he can hear persons approaching at two hundred yards or rather more, and within this range nothing escapes him. This has been the experience of the frontier custom house officials on the continent, where dogs give warning of smugglers or their dogs without any mistakes by night at two hundred yards. The dogs therefore attached to the sentries would watch the two hun dred yards in front of the sentries, and also the ground between the different groups, generally about four hundred yards, each dog's hearing powers being two hundred yards naturally; therefore, the main body should be perfectly pro- out in front each provided with a war dog, rendering a surprise or coup-de- main by the enemy a very difficult ul- dertaking.
