economy. They have a better
chance Of escaping the enemy's bull.
lets than horse or man.
The Belgian police dogs have for
some years established their reputa-
ton as among the most intelligent
and most courageous members OF
the canine race. These are the dogs
that have done the best work for
their country during the present
war.
Major Richardson, of the British
army, has trained many dogs for
sentry work, and they have done
some remarkable feats for their
country during the present war. He
also trains dogs for all the other
kinds OF military duty that have
been mentioned here.
The Major began by employing
bloodhounds for military purposes,
but he Is now more disposed to
make use OF Irish terriers and other
terriers Of large type. These
dogs have the wonderful smelling
capacity OF the terrier, great activity
and courage and sufficient weight
and muscle for rough work and
fighting.
Well-trained dogs have proved
very valuable as sentries. The dog
can smell stranger when no human
enemy can detect him. There Is no
chance Of a surprise attack by night
when an Irish terrier Is on guard.
While the dog has been showing
his value and courage in war. 1t is
only right that some public recog-
milton should be given to his serv-
ices. The British soldier receives
the coveted Victoria Cross for some
extraordinary deed Of bravery. Why
should not brave dog receive some
corresponding distinction for risking
his life? This was how the matter
appeared to the British public.
At the regular London dog show
just held a place of honor WAS re-
served for fifteen dog heroes. On
like the other animals present they
were not chosen for beauty Of form
or purity or race. They were there
because they had done something.

They Haze Distinguished Themselves As
Scouts, Sentinels, Ambulance Aids
and Life SnDers.
They Haze

NNE OF the most interesting
features of this war has been
the important and useful
part that dogs have played in 1t.
Dogs have been used to draw light
guns, to act as assistants to the Red
Cross service, to do scout duty and
for several other purposes Dogs
were employed in ancient wars and
their usefulness has for some years
been urged by European army off,
GERS. This is the first important
modern war In which they have
been tested. They have fully justi-
fed the strongest claims made by
their trainers In many branches of
military work.
Germany has 1000 trained dogs In
the field, both the French and Bel
CLANS are using them extensively,
and England has corresponding
number.
The Russian Government recently
invited Major Richardson, OF the
British army, to Petrograd to Judge
the army and police dogs. Major
Richardson found that the best dogs
belonged to the Ismailovsky regi-
ment, which exhibited thirty-fve
dogs. for night sentry work, draw
ing ammunition and carrying mes
sages. The next best regiment was
the Preobrashensky, and the third
was that Of the Sharpshooters OF the
Guard.
Germany uses her dogs chiefly for
ambulance work. In the enormous,
wild, thinly populated area in which
she is fighting against Russia 1t is
extremely difficult for the medical
officers to recover all wounded men,
Here the ambulance dog with his
keen scent becomes of enormous
value. These ambulance dogs have
saved hundreds Of men in the Ger
man army.
The Belglans have developed the
use Of dogs to drag machine guns
and light quick.fring guns more
than any other army. The dogs can
pull gun farther and over rougher
ground than horse. They do not
succumb 80 easily to hard condi.
tions and by avoiding the use of q
horse they represent an important

>WueBLES" WHO
SAVED q FRENCH
MARINE


America appears an important fac.
tor in the war to German eyes. The
Germans are very much concerned
about our trade in war munitions
with the allies.
The protest Of the United States
Government against the German sub
marine blockade raised q fresh crop
OF German cartoons. Then the prob
lem of the American attitude towards
the British blockade of foodstuffs be-
came still more prolific subject for
them.
Thus it happens that Uncle Sam Is
the leading figure in many German
cartoons. He is not pleasing figure
as he appears to German eyes. His
angularity is excessive; in fact, he
is hardly human. He looks like some
mechanical toy made Of metal, ant
that is perhaps how the tieshy Ger
rIam regards the lean American type,
Some OF the cartoons are quite
virulent, some are good-natured, but
none OF them can be considered fat
tering to Uncle Sam. Perhaps the
strongest and cleverest Of all the
antt-American cartoons which have
come over Is one from "Simplicissi.
mus" Of Munich. 1t is entitled "Neu.
trail America" and shows a sly,
bloodless. hypocritical Uncle Sam
selling the weapons Of slaughter to

Death for bags of gold. The legend
beneath 1t reads:
Don't believe, Mr.. Death, that /
wish merely to make money; l sell
these things because they are the
means Of bringing peace into the
world"
A more fantastic but less artistic
cartoon Is from the "Ulk." An even
more horrible Uncle Sam Is depicted,
this time having two faces. On one
side he is selling cannon to a pair Of
shocking-looking allies, while on the
other side he is handing some fine
words to a perfectly angelic Ger
man soldier. This is called Depart
ment Store Neutrality" and the leg
end with it says:
Look here, dear German, this is
the only difference: You furnish the
battles and l furnish supplies for
Them"
The most friendly and hopeful view
of Uncle Sam is expressed In a car
toon entitled, 1.-THE Patient American
Gold-Uncle." Here Uncle Sam Is rep

He had been given up for dead and
laid on the floor, but the dog lay
down beside him and licked his faoe.
The warmth of the dogs body
against his heart and the constant
licking set the circulation going and
revived him.
Horses have played an even more
important part than dogs In the wur,
but the frtghtful destruction OF
them is the most striking fact to be
recorded. It Is said that a horse
at the front does not last-on the
average-more than three weeks,
and that millions of them will be
killed Horses will become scarce
throughout the world as a result of
the war.
II men have died in France, in
Germany, Austria and Russia by

IT Is no less true that the horses OF
the cavalry, the horses that haul the

price. Indeed. American officers say

These cartoons have been accom-

and writer's on the subject of Ameri-
can neutrality. The most important
and interesting expression along this
line. comes from Macmillan Harden,
who is universally regarded as the
ablest and most independent Of Ger.
man Journalists. In his journal, the
"Zukunft," OF Berlin, Harden writes:
I'VE earnestly request that there
be no outcry If American ships are
damaged through attacks OF German
submarines. England wants to pre-
vent us, and we want to prevent Eng.
