DOGS IN THE ARMY.

A number OF fine sentry.dogs have
left Major Richardson's kennels at
Harrow, England, for service with the
English army. This must bo tho first
time that the war office has formally
adopted the use Of dogs for military
work. Perhaps the experience Of the
South African war converted them.
These dogs are not TO he used for
finding the wounded. but for scouting
and sentry work. They win accom-.
pany isolated outposts, pickets and sol.
itary sentries. Their scent is often
quicker than sight, and their hearing is
sharper than that Of the human sentry.
In scouting the dogs are taken on a
long lead They must be taught to
growl, not to bark. If necessary, they
must be fitted with muzzle to prevent
them from barking, On sentry duty
the DOG may be allowed to bark so as
TO warn the sentry and the camp at
the same time,
In the South African war the Eng.
hsh army had no watch.dogs Of rs
cwn, but it often picked up and adopt
ed Boer dogs, Captain Haldane, who
escaped from Pretoria, said that the
greatest danger Of recapture was not
from the Boers but from the Boers
dogs.
Major Richardson, in his book, quotes
IA letter from q trooper written from
South Africa: owe have trokking

Africa were often greatly safeguarled

Major Richardson makes good point
when no snys that in the extreme ex,
