number of years services have been held

those who neglect it. He had received
many inquiries from persons seeking to
locate in The western country, and the
first question was, is there any church in
the vicinity. This was the first question
from those even who were not members

to the front and were publicly received
by the pastor, Rev. j. w Pressly. num-

allegiance to the new organization to be
known as the Kiowa Presbyterian
Church. A charge was given to the
members by Rev. Mr. Hutchison in
which he urged care for the christian
training of the children, efforts there be-
ing more fruitful than the same effort
for those of mature years. Also, to do

commissioners passed resolution de-

all cases and thus save annoyance and

knavcries of yellow journalism,

Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is a liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without

OF GREAT VALUE iN FINDING
THE WOUNDED
Frenchmen Urge Minister Of War TO
Have Animals Attached 10 Ann
huiance corps Idea ls Not
New one.

Since dogs have proved to be such
able assistants To the Paris police
corps why shouldn't they be trained to
rslpforce the hospital and ambulance
service Of the French army2 The ad.
vantages OF this innovation have been
set forth at some length by DR.. Blche.
lonne and Capt Toilet in a volume
which has Just been published. Il 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 az 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 20 soldiers who had been
given up for lost
In 1890, BY 5rder 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 Cap. Toilet urge
the military authorities to repair this
omission. There are many good
breeds Of dogs in France which would
take easily to the military training.
It is an undisputed fact, these au-
thors say, that after an engagement
there are many wounded and dying
who are overlooked BY the nurses and
litter carriers. A case in point is
quoted. At the battle Of Rezonville
Gravelotte in 1870 two injured soldiers
lay for three days in a ravine. The
ground had been gone over many
times by the ambulance service and
yet they had not been found. In in
stances like this the usefulness d
dogs as scouts is unquestioned.
It is a 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 tn,
role Of these canine assistants woulC
be very much the same as that Of th'
st. Bernard dogs-and they have beer
