sidecar. "Prusco" sits alongside his
whatever the pace and how
ever rough may be the route, he cam
not be shaken from his post The esta--
fet received a bullet in his shoulder
the other day and was unable to go on
He tucked the order which he was to
bring back to headquarters under the
dogs collar and finally persuaded him
to start off with it. The dog delivered
his message and then started back to
find his master, accompanied by
stretcher bearers, who brought hinEs
safely back to the lines.
Another dog who will go into history
of this war belongs to the End reg
iment of Artillery. He guards the
battery while the men are reposing
and he keeps his seat on the gun-car-
riage when the battery is going int9
position. If the road is so rough as
to shake him off sometimes, then he
leaps upon the the horses backs Hs'
is never left behind.

a bullet in his jaw and nearly scalped
by a blow from a sabre. He tried to
rise, but heavy weight fell upon him
and then he lost consciousness. The
first thing he became aware of was a
feeling that resembled a caress upon
his forehead. He opened his eyes and
there was Tom, one of the ambulance
dogs, affectionately tapping his torn
head. He tried to rise, but the heavy
weight that had borne him down was
still there. 1t was the body of one Of
his comrades who had fallen with a
bullet through his heart.
Impossible to extricate himself, he
finally succeeded in getting to a sitting
posture. His cap was gone and that
explained why Tom had not gone back
to the ambulance for help. Durand
looked, and Tom searched but no cap
was to be found GO, Tom, and fetch
the comrades" Durand cried. A half
hour later Tom went into camp and
Selling the first soldiers coat in his
teeth, began Juggling at him. The SOL
der did not understand. Then Tom
barked appealingly but with no more
effect. Finally he barked menacingIy,
with no result. Then the doctor came
along. He understood and Tom gave
a yelp of joy when he realized that he
had succeeded. Directed by him the
doctor and the stretcher bearers soon
found Durand, hidden in a thicket,
where probably he would have passed
unnoticed until he had either starved
or died from his wounds, had it not
been for Tom.
They lifted the dead man off, carried
Durand back to the ambulance and
Notwithstanding the gravity of his
three wounds, he is now mending, all
thanks to Tom.
Toms is not an isolated incident of
the devotion of the ambulance dog. A
case is reported from the vicinity OF
Verdun in which a French shepherd
dog discovered a soldier who had
been wounded in the head and who
had received first-aid from one of his
comrades, who afterwards had been
obliged to abandon him. His cap had
also been lost and the dog could find

Sight Seers at
Front Cannot
Find Hotels
(By Associated Press.)

JONCHERY, Dec. 1.-THE civilian
visitors to any village near the fir
ing line are usually compelled to sleep
in the vehicles in which they came. AS
to getting anything to eat or drink,
this is almost impossible. The res
taurant or inn-keeper always declares
that all food has been requisitioned
by the soldiers. If the visitor has
brought his provisions with him, he
may eat them at the inn, but nothing
can be cooked in the place, owing to
lack of fuel.
The visitor may not go out into
the streets between six o'clock in the
evening and five o'clock in the morn
ing, SO severe are the restrictions of
martial law. Should he break the
regulations, he is arrested and kept
in the gendarmery until an escort has
been provided, which accompanies him
to some city far to the rear and he is
put under parole not to approach the
lines again during the campaign.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-12-01

nothing that he could carry back to
the ambulance to report his find, but
he had tho intelligence not to touch
the bandage on the soldiers head.
Finally, despairing of finding anything
he could carry back, he lay down on
the ground opposite the wounded man
and howled dismally until help came.
DR.. Vertier, surgeon in the 18th
Army Corps, reports that the ambul
ance dogs in his corps have saved hun
dreds of lives and that not in a single
instance have they mistaken dead
body for wounded man. In some
cases where the soldiers cap could not
be found, the dog has torn open his
knapsack and hunted out something
that he could carry back to show that
he had made a discovery.
The National Society for the train
ing of ambulance dogs has already
sent 100 of these animals into the
field and II more are soon to go. Dr.
Tsoussaint, director of the Sanitary
Service at the ministry of war has au-
thorized the training of stretcher
bearers with the dogs, so that they
may be able to work better in harm
ony, the dog knowing the man and the
man knowing the dog.
AS a rule, each dog works over
ground of 800 to 400 yards, and as
soon as he scents wounded man, he
begins to bark and seek some article
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-12-01

that he can carry back as an indication
to the ambulance.
For the same reason that the SER
vices of the dog have become neces-
sary in finding the wounded, they
have become useful, as demonstrated
in the Belgian campaign, in the bring
ing up of machine guns. The dogs are
so trained that the soldiers are not
obliged to accompany them in hauling
the guns they creep along under cover
as we'll as they can to the desired posi-
ton, leaving the dogs and the guns be-
hind. When they have reached the de-
sired location, all they have to do is to
whistle and the dogs come with the
machine guns and are scarcely notice
able to the enemy.
An affectionate scene was reported
from Belgium after the first fighting
around Liege. A machine-gun- dog, a
worthy emulator of 'Patrasche"-the
dog of Flanders immortalized by
"Ouida" (Louise de la Ramee) the
English novelist, was wounded in the
leg; at the same time one Of the gun
ners was wounded in the face and af-
ter the battle they were seen return
ing. The soldier had the dog in his
arms and the dog was affectionately
licking the wound in his masters face.
"Prusco'' is the name of a shepherd
dog that belongs to an estafet who
carries orders along the lines with a

AS LONG AS ENEMY
IS NEAR CAY PARIS
(By Associated Press.)

Wy ASoOSA"NSN A~SS'J
PARIS, Dec. las long as the
enemy treads French soil, it is not
aseemly for Paris to laugh" says Pre-
feet of Police Laurent in reply to the
renewed appeals of dramatic artists
for the re-opening of theatres and
-music-halls.
mo new permits shall be issued and
no permits previously accorded shall
he renewed so long as the Germans
occupy any part of France" he de-
~clares; consequently a few moving
picture shows, one solitary music hall
and one orchestral concert constitute
the amusements of Paris.
The poor artists, who are known
rather for their generosity than for
their thrift, are reduced to the neces-
ssity of applying for the government al
1owance to the unemployed and here
these free-hearted easy-livers, are met
with a humiliating rebuff.
"Your dress is too elegant" or "You
pay too high a rental" or Your furni-
ture is too rich to justify an applica-
ton for government aid," are the re-
plies they get in many cases.
The average seasons receipts OF
Paris amusements is 3O,0OO,C0C francs
or $6,OOO,0O0, and a small portion Of
that amount, the directors contend,
would suffice to see the 10000 people
who depend upon the theatre for liv-
ing through the hard times. They re-
call that in 1901 the Theatre Fran
Gals continued it's performances even
when the Germans were Smelling Pa
ris and Mont Valerien.
The artists and employees of the
Opera, the Opera Comique and the
Theatre Francois are cared for by a
monthly allowance. One of the pro
vincial music-hall artists is selling
vegetables near the Port Saint Martin.
A comedian of the Folies Dramatique
is earning a living in a butcher shop
One of the prize graduates of the Con-
servatory is mailing clerk in a news
paper office, and one Of the great bari
tones is driving a cab. A great many
Others are in the trenches along the
Aisne.

PARIS, December i.-Notwithstand-

corded of them, the ambulance dogs
have not yet been given full recogni-
ton for the part they are playing in
the war, say the dog lovers.
Through the courtesy of DR.. Kresser
of the National Society of Ambulance
Dogs, The Associated Press has been
shown dozen letters from army sur
geons and soldiers telling in interest
ing detail some of their intelligent and
courageous feats. First, discussing
the general usefulness of the dog in
field ambulance work, DR.. Kresser
said this usefulness had become great
err in proportion to the development
of modern methods of warfare.
THE infantryman today does his
fighting from the ground, under any
cover he can find," he said, creeping
through thickets, hiding in bitches, be-
hind hedges and every spot that is
likely to conceal him from the enemy.
Naturally the same cover hides him
from the view of the stretcher bearers
picking up the wounded after the bat
tie.
This duty is further complicated
by the fact that it must be done at
night as the intensity of fire makes It
impossible to pick up wounded on the
field during ga engagement. In this
work of seeking the wounded at night
the ambulance dog becomes indispens-
able, since lights are forbidden to the
stretcher bearers for fear of exposing
pOSlIlOuS W Cno SucuIyt consequently
the salvation of hundreds of wounded
soldiers depends upon the sharp scent,
intelligence and devotion OF the am
bulance dog.
"The French ambulance dog is the
French shepherd, an animal which is
proven to be far better adapted to the
work than the German shepherd dog
formerly employed in the French
army, because the German dog is more
ferocious and is taught to fight the
enemy as we'll as to discover the
wounded of his own troops. The
French dog is taught TO seek the
wounded of the enemy's troops as
well as his own. He is as gentle as he
is faithful and, as in the case Of Tom
is the pet of his company"
The ease of Tom" is this

Keep Faith with Yourself.

Success In life means keeping ones
faith with oneself and with ones
friends. 1t means being content to-.
travel along the path Of righteousness
in spite of the fact that worldly good.
and ease do not lie along that path
Most of all it means "to be honest, t0
be kind, to earn little and to spend
a little less" and to take joy in the
world and to spread happiness and joy
to all near you.
