DOG SLEUTHS UNERR|NG
IN DETECTING CRIMINALS.
German Shepherds Trained by New
Jersey Man For Police Work.

Out in Montclair, N. j., Louis de
Winter trains German shepherd dogs
for the police. He imports the animals
from Germany when they are puppies
and carefully accustoms them to their
work. When he is through with them
he has made a sleuth more unecring
than Sherlock Holmes or Dupin and
afraid of neither man nor devil.
A girl was murdered in Ridgewood,
N. j. She had been struck on the head
with piece Of iron pipe and dragged
across the road about 200 feet into a
wood. Bloodhounds were put on the
track of her assailants, but without
avail. Finally De Winter volunteered
to put one of his dogs, Herta Won Eth
rengrund, on the case. The dog was
given the piece of pipe to smell and i'm
mediately took up the trail. A mile
and half away the pursuers came to
a farmhouse. The farmer told them
there had been a stranger about there
a night or SO before, but he could give
no definite description of him.
From the farmhouse the trail led to
a building in the course of construc-
ton. There the dog rushed to pile
of pipe. and from one piece they found
a length had been cut. That was
where the murderer had got his blud-
geon Again the dog took up the trail
and finally came upon deserted shack
Here he led the searchers upstairs,
where they found an old mattress with
bloodstains upon 1t. Evidently they
were on the right track
The dog again struck out across coun-
try, and toward evening the party
came upon group Of men talking by
the roadside. The dog suddenly leaped

OUR DREADN0UGHTS BEST.

Have Strongest Squadron.

English Naval Authority Says We Will
Have Strongest Squadron.
The Navy League of the United
States called attention to the decara
ton of Maurice prendergast, a noted
British naval expert. that with the
completion in 1918 of the Dread
noughts California. Idaho and Missis-
sippi the United States would possess
the most powerful and homogeneous
squadron in existence 1t will consist
Of seven super Dreadnoughts. Mr..
Prendergast commends especially the
American center line plan for mount
ing the big fourteen inch guns and
praises the policy of American naval
designers in favor OF thick armor or
none.
In an article for the Navy, the organ
Of the British Navy league. Mr. Prem
dergast says:
with perhaps the exception of the
Japanese Fuse no Dreadnought among
the fleets Oh active service can com
pare with these new American ships
in the matter of size. The American
ships will probably be the largest afoat
for many Years after their completion.
During the past ten years the de-
sign Of American battleships has dis
played a remarkable standard Of ex-
cellence. 1t was clearly recognized in
the very first United States Dread
noughts that plain broadside fire was
of more practical value than heavy
end on fire at odd angles. After all
navies had tried various methods OF
mounting big guns, the American cen
ter line plan had to be finally adopted.
"These new American ships are de-
veloped from the Nevada class Both
the Nevada and our Queen Elizabeth
were designed about the same time,
and numerous points of marked resem-
blance between them seem to raise the
similarity above the field Of vulgar CO.
incidence. For neatness of design the
American ships are facie princeps, a
striking contrast to some Dread
noughts, whose minor details seem to
have been 'shoveled on just where they
will fit as sort of afterthought."

ridiculous to expect them to be able to
be equal to the occasion. Recently a
