1T VALUE IN FINDING

Urre Minister of War to
Have Animals attached to AM
blSa.te ccrpa-Idea Is Not
a New One.

Since dogs have proved to be such
able assistants to the Paris police
corps why shouldn't they be trained to
reinforce the hospital and ambulance
service of the French army? The adj
vantages of this innovation have been
set forth at some length by DR.. Biche-
Tonne and Capt. Toilet in volume
which has just been published. 1t is
entitled the Dog as an Aid to the
Sanitary Corps
That dogs should be taught to seek
out the wounded on the battlefield is
no new idea. The experiment was
tried with success at the time of the
Boer war, and at the battle of Cha
Ho in the conflict in the far east three
dogs sent out by the German Alliance
discovered % soldiers who had been
given up for lost.
In 1890, by order of the German
war minister, two dogs were added to
the sanitary corps of one of the crack
regiments. Since then clubs for the
training of dogs in war time have been
formed in Dresden, Cologne, Coburg
Aix-la-chapelle and Neuwied Similar
societies have been organized in Hol
land. Sweden and Italy. In fact all of
the European countries have turned
their attention to the subject at one
time or other except France.
DR.. Bichelonne and Capt Toilet urge
the military authorities to repair this
mission. There are many good
breeds of dogs in France which would
take easily. to the military training.
1t is an undisputed fact, these au-
hors say, that after an engagement
here are many wounded and dying
who are overlooked by the nurses and
,itor carriers. A case in point is
uoted. At the battle of Rezonville-
fravelotte in 1870 two injured soldiers
ay for three days in a ravine. The
,yround had been gone over many
times by the ambulance service and
yet they had not been found. In in
stances like this the usefulness of
dogs as scouts is unquestioned
1t is wonder that European armies.
have not awakened long before this
last decade to the Importance of dogs
as practical helpers in war time, the
authors think. On the battlefield the
role of these canine assistants would
be very much the same as that of the
st. Bernard dogs-and they have been
rescuing snowbound travellers for sew
eral centuries.

FIGHT FOR CHILDREN
PROCEEDINGS BEGUN IN THE
BAssETT CASE TODAY.

Special Dispatch to The Star
OMAHA, Neb., February 27.-The fight of
the Bassetts for the three children who re-
main within the jurisdiction of the Omaha
court began this morning before Judge
Reddick. The court, in decision made
without the delivery of argument, an
nounced that it took to itself the right to
each side produce evidence to prove it's
relative fitness for the custody of the chill
dren. Relative to the present phase Of the
fight is the question of alimony.
Mrs. Bassett's lawyers this morning an
nounced that in view of the two adverse de-
cisions against the wife she relinquished all
claim to support from her husband. What
money she will ask will be for the main
tenance of her children, If they are awarded
her.
The Child's Parentaee,
Mrs. Bassett's lawyers presented an ulti-
matum to her husband which places him
In peculiar position. This is that he must
take Lawrence, the youngest, who, he
claims, is the son of Mr.. Hunt, If the court
makes to him sweeping award of all the
children. The ultimatum provoked counsel
to spirited duel OF words. Bassett's at
torney, E. F. Colladay, said the father
wanted but two Of the children in the juris-
diction of the local court The mother
could keep Lawrence. Mrs. Bassett's law
yers resented the imputation Colladay an
swered. There is no imputation: this
child's parentage is shown by the divorce
decree"
Ihen ensued several contradictions, where
upon Judge Reddick interfered.- The set
tlement Of the claim for the children NAV
take up the balance of this weeks time of
the court.
Mrs. Bassett will put witnesses on the
stand to prove her fitness as a guardian
and her ability to properly rear her chill
dren. Bassett will do likewise 1t is I'M
likely that the question of Mrs. Bassett's
moral vagaries will be gone into. There are
only three children in Omaha. Two are in
Denver with Harvey Riddle, Mrs Bassett's
brother-in-law.
