Soldier Dog in the German Army
Equal to the Man Behind the Gun.

He is given peculiar education and it is
given with regularity and care. First of ALL
the dog Is taught to recognize men by their
uniforms and is carefully taught the diff
ference between the uniforms of Germany
and those of foreign countries. Then he IS
taught the uniforms of the officers of the
German army. This is done by patient and
regular training.
After he has mastered the uniforms ap the
various armies the soldier dog is taught how
TO tell his master of the approach of an
enemy or friend or of any other unusual dis
covery he may make.
His next step in education is the deliver
ing of letters. These letters are placed IN
his pouch and the soldier dog runs from
post to post delivering them. He is taught
to know many other posts besides his own,
TO recognize them by name, to take a pouch
full of letters to any post designated to de-
liver them to an officer, to wait for a reply,
and to return to his own post. After he can
do this satisfactorily and without error he is
graduated into higher class and his
EDUCATION is partially completed.
The next lesson of the soldier dog is to
look after the wounded He is taught TO
discover wounded soldiers, to take water 10
them, and to tell superior officers of his
discovery. He is also taught to take care
of the straggers of the regiment. After this
and after he knows whom to and whom not
to obey, his education is completed and he
is real " soldier" and is assigned to a
regiment.

the face Of the dial which in a clock
