 Paris, Nov. 25.-Lovers of dogs will be gratiffed to know that so tmpos- ing an organization as The Institute Of Geological Psychology reports that the dogs that accompany the French ambulances are behaving well under fire. The director of this institute test1fies; All reports are most en- couragfng. Some of the details of their instru ctfons may be open to question It is probably bad that they should be taught to bring in the caps and handkerchiefs of wounded sol diers, but our dogs of war are per forming noteworthy service and it is 9 pity that we have not many more of them.''
 The leader of one section of the ambulance dogs says: |"The best dog given to me at first pulled so hard on the leash that he tired me out; he would not always return on the first call, a trick that would be unfortun- ate under fire; he was terrified even by distant artillery and it appeared as if he would be. useless in action. But in a week that dog was valuable beyond words. have today returned with him from recovering wounded soldiers almost in the enemy's trenches with incessant din all around him. Tonight just before the anbu- lances were to return I took him out for one last inspection. In 8 half hour he found three soldiers who otherwise might have died of expos ure. Moreover, he never touched one of them but ran back. and forth till I came up to him. A writer in Le Matin claims that the Germans have 37,O0O dogs most 1y purchased in France that are now being trained to go with the a,mbu- 1ances. A French society has been formed to train dogs for. this work and already many dogs are at schooI.''

TRIED OUT LAST WINTER AND
TOOK CARE OF HEAVY FLOR
IDA TRAFFIC..

Atlanta, Ga, July 1e.--Southern
railway Is preparing to install a tele-
phone block system to take the place
of the telegraph system now in use on
the Atlanta division between Macon.
Ga. and Ooltewah, Tenn, a distance OF
225 miles and part of the route of
Southern railways through trains be-
tween the West and Florida. The pres
ent telegraph block system consists of
one telegraph wire. The telephone
block VIII consist of two wires and
each office will be equipped with one
bell on the north block and one bell
on the south block with the telephone
SO installed that It can be connected
with either.
The lines Will be so arranged at the
offices that when block office is
closed the line can be cut through it.
The wires used for the telephone block
will also be used for telegraph cir

another circuit from Atlanta to Oolte-
wah into Chattanooga.
In order to take care of the heavy

In Germany Mr.. Ah0rn says he has

There are enough singers thsre look

companies. Many Of these artists are
Americans. The latter sr3 hanai-
capped because their pronunciation or

Mr. Aborn says that ne Nss told
that many American sinsets II Italy

other thing Is that the G srmans are
less impatient with the imp feet pro-

Italians, Mr. Ahorn continued;
IT intend to start an opa~a school
