Dog NewS from Everywhere

Berlin. March 2l.-After being in force
for one whole year. the bylaw ordering
the muZzling OF dogs was discontinued
in, Berlin recently, to the intense relief
Of some 40,O0O dog owners and the thor
ough joy Of their pets.
The foOlishness OF the draconian laws
concerning the muzzling OF dogs and the
enforcement of their being kept in the
leash Is fully demonstrated by the fact
that within a few miles Of Berlin. in
such places as Potsdam. no such anti
dog rules" existed
Any one having studied the habits Of
rabid dogs knows full well that once a
dog is attacked with rabies its one dom
mating instinct is to race long distances
A mad dog would easily accomplish the
distance between Potsdam and Berlin in
an hour. Furthermore. any dog at
taal<ed with rabies will speedily get rid
Of any muzzle ever invented and would
escape from any control. such as a leash.
Watchdog for Wagons.
Paris. March sl.-Apropos Of the recent
theft OF mail bags from a postoffice au-
tomobie van in Paris. the Journal urges
the postal authorities 10 provide police
dog for each OF the vans which annually
transport millions of mail bags through
the streets OF the city.
II draws attention TO the fact that al
most every private delivery van in Paris
carries a dog. which effectively guards
the vans contents duying the absence Of
the driver.
Paris Is Fond of Dogs.
