Nothing excites more criticism than
a woman with her face all daubed with

FRENCH TRAIN DOGS
FOR WAR SERVICE
Are Used in Ambulance Corps,
as Patrol Dogs, Dispatch

Guards.
PERFORM THEIR DUTIES WELL


Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
PARIS. July 15.-The National
Society of Ambulance Dogs OF France
now has eight kennels, where experts
are busy preparing dogs for service
at the front. They are training pa
troll dogs, dispatch carriers and
trench guards, as well az ambulance
dogs, with such success that the army
is calling for more than they can sup
ply. Two hundred and twenty-five
patrol dogs have Just been sent to a
part Of the front that cannot be dis
closed. These dogs accompany pa
trolling and accommodating parties
at night and carry messages back to
the lines when necessary. The dog
is able to perform this duty much
quicker and in far greater security
than a man. The service is of great
value, as It permits patrolling party

TO CONTROL FOOD SUPPLY
Germany Adopting Measures to Pre-.

Necessaries at a Minimum.
COURT TO SETTLE QUESTIONS

l(Correspondence Of the Associated Press }
| BERLIN, July 16.-The War Grain
company which for the last six months
has had charge OF the organization and
purchase OF food supplies In Russia, lie
to disappear shortly. It will be super
seeded by a central body acting under the
direction Of the imperial government and
composed Of equal numbers Of producers
ana consumers. The main purpose Is to
improve the economic war machinery
during the next harvest year. especially
as regards the fixing of maximum prices
and the control Of the food supply.
The closing sessions of the Prussian
Diet, which adjourned June "A. were de-
voted b economic problems Extended
reports were presented by a special COM
mittee which has been considering the
matter from all points of view, and the
Diet endorsed the committees various
recommendation.
To Control Prices.
The German government is now pre-
pairing to establish a systematic control
of prices OF all goods necessary to the
conduct Of war, taking all matters of this
kind out of the hands OF the individual
states. Practically all raw materials and
half-finished goods are already liable to
confiscation, but the machinery for regu-
lating prices Is inadequate and II is neces-
sary to establish some adequate means
of checking systematic efforts to force
prices upwards. This is to be done
through a central court of arbitration
which is to settle all questions concerning
the value OF goods. while It is admitted
that war prices must inevitably be higher
than peace prices, the court will settle
exactly what amount OF profit is per-
MISSILE.
One OF the reports presented to the
Prussian Diet by the special committee on
the economic outlook had TO do with the
Industrial situation u emphasized the
importance of coal and iron production
as decisive means OF exsrting political
influence.
The Coal supply.
Germany, It was explained, was able by
drawing on the Belgian supply of coal
to prevent her neutral neighbors from
becoming entirely dependent on England.
Coal, moreover, is the foundation of the
manufacturing of explosives, according
to the report, and in many ways serves
the most vital needs OF the navy.
The iron industry is equally important.
according to the committee. Since the
beginning of the war the production Of
iron ore has been increased by about
100000 tons a month. and the manu-
facture Of finished iron and steel has
been doubled. But even with this increase
there is no excess of these products, for
the manufacture Of shells has been larger
than anyone dreamed possible before the
war" But, In the words of the report
lit has been proved that we can supply
all the labor that is necessary without
In any way diminishing the strength Of
the army. 1t has also been proved that
Germany can get over all the difficulties
caused by the Interruption of importations
OF raw materials. and we are confident
that GERMANY will emerge from the war.
