~ o'tiAo, lho uoupI, 10 IyplIy the turning
loose OF all the horrors that engulf distract
ed land visited by bloody warfare.
This expression dogs of war; as so used,
was brought to my mind by reading of the
dogs OF war; as they are today.
No more beautiful part can be played than
IS enacted by these same animals. Brave,
gentle, intelligent, they often perform deeds
beyond the ability of men, They are trained
to find the wounded and dead, and to guide
the stricken bearers to the unfortunates
often hidden in bitches, tall grass, etc. These
| four-footed soldiers are also used as dispatch
bearers, and are most cunning in getting
through the enemy's lines. It is most CRATE
full to know all this, and to feel that the
usefulness of our dumb friends is fully ap-
preciated
