Clever Four-Leged Detectives Display

Berlin-Good detectives are rare

due regard to economy could scarcely
afford to emplos a Veritable Sherlock
Holmes if he could be found. Ordi-
nary detectives and policemen, on the
other hand, cannot cope successfully
with the highly developed and refined
methods of the modern criminal. The
police authorities, confronted with this
dilemma, have lately employed, to a
limited extent, an auxiliary possessed
of instincts which take the place of de-
tective genius. This auxiliary is the
police dog. which, in Berlin at least, is
giving almost daily proof of its fitness
for detective and police work The
training and practise of these four
legged guardians of the peace are
most interesting to witness.
