REAL Dogs OF WAR"
They Used to Wear Coats Of Mail and
Carry FIrebrands.


Dogs of War" is Il phrase which
once meant :, thing Us real as the war
horse. Dogs have played their part III
battles and campaigns. and III the old
wars between England and Scotland
dogs were used by b6th combatants
for pursuing and killing fugitives aft
er a defeat.
1t is reIeated that Wallace and Bruce
each had close escapes from capture
by English bloodhounds. Bruce is said
to have thrown the English dog off the
scent by the now we'll known eXpedi-
ent of wadiny up a stream far enough
to battle his pursuerS. and Wallace
evaded the hounds by having recourse
to trick more or less common in those
bloody times of killing follower and
leaving the body in the dogs path for
them to come upon. The dogs finding
body believed that their task was
done and discontinued the hunt.
In the history Of the wars Of the
middle ages one finds reference to the
use of big dogs against cavalry for
the purpose of throwing the horses
into confusion and not alone FOR caus-
ing panic. but casualties, for these
fierce canine partiSans were clothed in
coats of mail studded with spikes and
having scythes fitted to their harness.
Instances are recorded where war
dogs with fire brands fastened to their
coats of mail have been set on an
enemy's camp with destructive results.
Henry VIII must have found dogs
useful in military ways. because in
English history it is written that he
offered the use of 10000 auXiliaries and
1000 war dogs to King Charles '. Of
Spain to aid that monarch in his war

German Thunder on
Coast Of Albion
! PROVIDES THRILL
FOR WASHINGTON
BONBARDNENT BY GERMANS
CAUSES MUCH DISCUSSION
Not Considered eS Serious Attempt
at INVASION Of Tight Little
isle.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Oficial and
diplomatic Washington was thrilled
today as it seldom has been since the
European war began with the news
Of tie bombardment by German cruis-
ers of the northeast coast of England.
The actual attack on British coast
towns, accomplishing even in small
Wa; tie long talked Of descent of the
German navy on the English coast,
da,e?o9ed much discussion among
nava: experts and tacticians.
Whiie government officials made no
ormal comment, the bombardment
was discussed in congressional as we'll
as III executive quarters, with par
ticular application to hypothetical
situations in which American defenses
mj9.t be involved
The consensus o. opinion among
naval men was that the raid was for
moral effect and did not screen a gen
@ral invasion by Zeppe!ins and Ger
man submarines, although Great Brit
ians vulnerability to such attacks
was to some extent emphasized by it.
On tie other hand, experts thought,
any susutained attack on the English
coast would require many more ships
than were engaged today and by the
time any effort was made to land an
expeditionary force tie English fleet
coGid be brought into action. The
view Of most naval experts was sum-
marized in the following opinion from
a high American naval officer and
tactician:
LAS reported there were only four
German cruisers and they bombarded
three towns on the east coast of Eng
land in a range of about 30 miles.
{; nce no one OF these towns contain,
anything OF military value to the
English the thing can be considered
as a raid for the moral. effect to be
produced on England.
&c military value can be attached
to tie raid. The number of ships
employed would be useless for in
vasion purposes unless there were
cop ships back O. them. Wnlle
this can be considered only as raid
for moral effect, back CT it may be
/ gathering OF submarines to take ad-
vantage of any concentration Of Brit
Jap forces sent to head off the cruisers.
"If tie Germans invade England,
they will do it after a serious naval
action IN which major vessels take
part. No other military movement is
conceivable which will attain results.
representative Richmond Pearson
koos1n Of Alabama, one Of tie naval
experts OF the house, expressed the
Crinion that the German attack was
in the nature Of a feint.
