SWELL DOG CLUB
FORMED IN LONDON
Comfort That Might Be Envied by Bust
ness and Professional Men Is
Afforded the CANNES.

pointed club for dogs has been establish
ed on Piccadilly. Here, comfort thai
might be envied by the average bushes,
and professional man will be afforded
the pets whose owners are able TO meet
the social requirements and pay the
dues.
The dogs will share the use of their
quarters with their masters and mis-.
tresses but the connection OF the latter
with the club will be dependent upon the
membership Of the CANNES. The initial
expense of equipping the place was $751;
900, and the cost OF maintaining il will
be considerable. A matron and four as
sistants will look after the ordinary
needs OF members and veterinary sur
geon will call twice each day to provide
such medical attendance as may be nee
essary.
Lapdogs will be permitted to lounge
in the library and smoking rooms while
the larger breeds will be accommodated
in suite of rooms equipped with cush-
Toned stalls and brass fittings. Uni
formed attendants win meet the dogs
at the door and conduct them TO their
favorite corners.
The club, to be known as the United
Travellers and Counties club, starts with
membership of 450 humans, OF whom
270 have recognized pedigrees with titles.
Lord and Lady Tenterden formally OPP
ened the human section Of the club.
while Beaming Blunderbuss, the worlds
champion bulldog, stood sponsor for the
four-legged part Of the enterprise One
of the features of the club will be
the care Of fancy dogs, which can be sent
to the house by out-oftown members
for safe. keeping during the big London
bench shows.
The strict censorship exercised in or.
der to protect military secrets has pre-.
vented the reading public from learning
much of the identity of the principal
actors in the Balkan struggle, but one

and Nogi, is Putnik General Putnik is
the commander in-chief of the Servian
forces which have been operating
Ground Uskub. OF him correspondent
at the servians headquarters writes.
General Putni is military genius
to whom much of the success of the war
is undoubtedly due. As | saw him for
the first time at Kestovatz, was struck |

bore to General Grant, both in feature |
and build. lie has organized the mar

the Turk.

kindest of men, | should think. he is

An organization of all shades OF polit. D
al opinion has been formed in Scot /

the sparsely settled rural districts, :,
it'll the result that many capable u
udents have no opportunity of COM
citing their studies The new or.
