SOLDIER" DOGS OFF
TO FIELD OF BATTLE
Twenty-three Yelp Their Enjoy.
ment as They Are Reviewer
Before Leaving for Front.
by Cable 10 The Tribune

Paris, May l5.-Another contingent
Of 'poilus" has just left for the front
II was not the ordinary "piou-piou,"
who, to the strains Of martial music,
departed for the combat. but "polu"
of quite a different variety-a real
four-legged "poiIu." Wagging of tails
and barks Of contentment took the
place of the shout of the departing
soldier.
Twenty-three of these Soldier" dogs,
each bearing the Red Cross insignia
strapped around mis- body and escorted
by a stretcher bearer, made up the
consignment. An imposing review in
the garden of the Tuileries. which was
attended by Raoul PersIl, representing
the Minister Of War, marked the de-
parturc OF the dogs, who will join
others now in service at the front.
At present there are 29O dogs being
utilized as aids to the sanitary SER
vice. They have already given proof of
their efficiency in saving the wounded
and otherwise, and, like their human
companions, they have suffered in the
war. A lieutenant found wounded in a
beet sugar field after battle was saved
by the aid of a dog. Another dog walked
$50 kilometres after the battle of the
Marine so as not to abandon his ambu-
lance. Others have been the marks for
German bullets and have been killed or
wounded.
The contingent which just left is
composed of different breeds of shep-
herds, police dogs, Newfoundlands and
many famous sheepdogs of the Bile re-
zion.

Naval Officers
Think Italy Will
Make Good on Sea

Washington. May %. - American
naval officers who have had opportunity
20 observe the navy Of Italy express the
belief that should an opportunity offer
for the shiDs Of King Emmanuel 20 bat
tie with the navy of Francis Joseph
the descendants of the men who navi-
gated the Roman triremes of 1000
years ago will give q good account Of
themselves.
In the opinion OF American officers,
the Italian navy ranks in strength and
efficiency next 70 the navy OF France
They have a high respect for the naval
constructors Of the Italian government
and for the designers as well. 1t ia
thought that ltaly's poverty may have
held back in a measure the develop
ment of the navy lately, but on paper
the navy is believed 70 be superior in
discipline 10 that of either Russia or
Austria.
In the matter Of engineering and the
designing Of engines the Italians are
accorded a high rank. The personnel
Of the service is somewhat in question,
although high estimate Of the Italian
naval officers has always been &C
knowledged.
In the matter Of ordnance the Italian
ravy is almost an unknown quantity.
The same is true as 70 the marksman-
ship and eunnery Of King Emmanuel's
sailors. Their efficiency in navigation
is acknowledged. The Italian navy
has an exceedingly good record for the
small number Of accidents of the SER
vice and al its mauoeuvres has in
variably shown NJ well.
While comparatively a new power
among the ravias Of the world Italy
had no navy before 1889 and little was
done in the way Of start until after
1873 the record as to defeats is alb
solutcly clean, although her battles
have been few and far between.
In conducting the expedition 70
Tripoli and in the few engagements
with the Turks during the war of four
years ago the Italian navy made an
excellent showing, but it must be re-
membered that she was then engaging
the least efficient Of all the European
navies.
II is regarded here as unlikely that
the Italian navy will have opportunity
for more than one or two engagements.
Her participation in the reduction OF
the Dardanelles is regarded as un'
likely. The Austrian force is kept a
home by the French, and II is not be
Neved that il will seek issue with the
Italians, inasmuch as II made no efor,
TO test the strength OF the French.

made to restrain Italian Catholics
from following the dictates OF their
consciences. A papal document out
lining this position is expected soon.

fate Of its country in the hands Of the
enemy.

CentratiOn Of troops in the zone border
ing Serbia, and the extensive financial
support accepted from our enemies by
the Sofia cabinet. no longer leave any
doubt as to the object of the military
preparations c. Bulgaria.
THE powers Of the entente, who have
at heart the realization Of the aspira-
tions Of the Bulgarian people, have on
many occasions warned M. RadoSlavOff
that any hostile act against Serbia
would be considered as directed against
themselves. The assurances given by
the head Of the Bulgarian cabinet in
reply to these warnings are CONTRA
dicted by the facts.
The representative Of Russia, which
is bound to Bulgaria by the imperish-
able memory Of her liberation from the
Turkish yoke. cannot sanction by his
presence preparations for fratricidal
aggression against a Slav and allied
people. The Russian minister, there
fore. has received orders to leave Bull
garia with all the staffs Of the legation
and consulates If the Bulgarian gov
eminent does not within "a hours
openly break with the enemies Of tho
SlaV cause and Of Russia, and does not
at once proceed to send away officers
belonging to armies Of states which are
at war with the powers OF the entente"
