thorities could pass on repairs to be
made was not disclosed.

made it clear that it was not his inten-
ton to intern his ship.

SAVED MASTER FROM DEATH
Small Dog 10 Petted as Hero IN the
Paris Hospitals, as Reward
for FaithfuIness.

In one OF the Paris hospitals lives
dog, brown-and-white setter,
named Fend IAir (cleave the air.,
who is n real hero OF the war His
master, n sergeant of Zouaves, is a pa
tient in the hospital, and he owes his
frail hold on life to the devotion and
intelligence of Fend IAir. When the
regiment left Algeria for France the
dog was left behind, but the faithful
little creature leaped into the water
and swan along behind the ship until
the captain. taking pity on him, had
him taken on board. From that time
he has never left his master.
During the fighting at Rochincourt,
near Arras, All exploding bomb buried
the sergeant and seven other men
with earth. They were badly injured,
and so deeply covered that mt man
had the strength to fight his way out
But, luckily, Fend IAir escaped the
bomb. He at once began to scratch,
and he scratched and scratched until
he had reached his master and
dragged him out to safety. The seven
other men died.
The wounded Sergeant and his dog
were sent from one relief station to
snother until they found permanent
care in this Paris hospital. Good nurs
Ing has saved the man, but too much
attention almost killed tss dog; for
the nurses and orderlies fed hits ss
Iavishly that promiscuous feeding hsd
to be forbidden.
Now Fend rAir lives In the hospital
kitchen. where he has assumed the
duty OF guard. and growls savagely
at anyone who enters the kitchen-
unless they belong there. E,ety day
a nurse takes him to the wards To
visit his master. and Fcnd rAir puts
his nose on the sorgeant's shoulder
and stands contentcd as long as he Is
permitted to remain. The greet af
fection that exists between the ser
geant and his dog is very charming.
