 DOG, EXPERT DECLARES


 sLondon, Jan. 15-The finest mili- tary dog is the Airedale tin the opinion Of Major P. H. Richardson,s a, breeder of war dogs. who was in charge of a. pack of b1oodhounds with the Belgian army until they were lost in the dis aster at Mons
 He says the AiredaIe can stand any climate, is second to none in faith fu1ness and inte1ligence.. has powers of hearing a.Rd scent remarkably acute and is the right size whether used on sentry duty, scouting. searching fer the wounded or as a messenger or ammunition carrier.
 .sHe can hear 300 yards farther than a man and knows friend from foe by their sne1I,'' says Major Richardson. A mans smell depends on what he eats. so a dog can tell the difference between English, French and Germans even when dressed in the same kind of clothes
 An officer wrote to the major in re- gard to one of his dogs:

He declined to face the mu- sic any more until after a. lot of coax ing, when he went back on night duty, watching and listening in the trenches with the interest of the most season cd sentry aided further by a.ssense of sight and smell that was almo uncanny-'s

London Jan. 15.-More than 10000 Jews are now serving in the British army and navy and the army casualty 40 enlisted men have been killed and 150 reported wounded or missing, in addition.
 These figures arc compiled by the Rev. Michael Adler, the senior Jewish chaplain to the forces. The Rev. Ad- Ter has a son in the Royal Fsusiliers, and he himself expects to leave for the front soon.
 Before the war; says the Rabbi, ssthere were only 500 Jews in the ser vice. Since the war, all sections of Jewry. rich and poor, have responded.

GERMANS IO USE

Jan. 15:-Russaah artillery has proven an excellent arm in defen- sive and position fighting, but has to- tally failed in offensive and mobile. nanoeuvers according to a German expert who gives his views on the snb- ject in the most recent number of the 1dilltair-Wo The same au- thority comedies, however, that the e4- fctency Of the Russian artillery had been greatly Increased since the Man the German army Russian artillery had been underrated, and indicates that now all of it's weak points are thoroughly understood.
 The Germans think so highly Of the Russia. artillery ammunition that they field pieces at the Spadu arsenal % as to suit them for a large store of cap tured ammunition which could not be used with the present German calfbre.
 The ca1ibre Of the German field gun fig two centimeterB less than that of the Russian ana for this reason the captured ammunition could not be put to use immediately. There is stored in the German arsena1s a. large Quan- tity of shells for the former German field pieces. which had ca1ibre about two cenfimeters greater than tie Rus sian guns which have been captured. By widening the rifldng of the Russian pieces. the obsolete shells may now be used. Some TOO pieces taken by the usEro-Fzungar1ans are being similarly adapted.
 After pointing out that the Russians have always had "a leaning towards the defensive. the writer in the Mill tair-W -Wochenb1at gives a number of sanstances in the present war in which this was demonstrated. The artillery positions had been selected with the greatest care and every poAsi ble eff fort had been made to protect the pieces and their crews. At Ivango- rod 1t was impossible for the Germans to find the Russian batteries without the most minute inspection with air
 As a rsaie the Russian emplacemernts were well screened with bushes, and, where those were hard to find with sod and often potato~greens. Where ever possible the Russians would seek the cover Of woods and trees and of. ten the batteries were hidden in vfI- 1ages and the surrounding gardens.
 In placing their artillery, the Rus- sianS usually group the guns in half. fbat1eries of four. This permits eff. cient fire control and gives the ob- servation officer far greater value than he would have if directing the fire of single pieces.

MEDIEVAL PUNISHMENTS.
Queer Old Laws Of England That Have
Never Been Revoked.

Never Been Revoked.
Although the stocks. like the pillory
and the ducking stool. have been done
away with. a lot of punishments sur
vive in England which are every bit as
medieval.
The most ludicrous OF these exist in
the two services-the army and navy
which were renowned in the past for
the cruelties practiced in them in the
name of justice. "~Keelhauling' as car
ried out in the navy used. of course. to
amount to execution by drowning.
while in the army running the CANT
let" was a popular way of Furnishing
troublesome soldiers.
Here is another queer punishment
which never has been removed from
the statute book. If you are motoring
or driving in England beware lest you
run yer anybody. for if you do so and
cause his death your motorcar or car
riage a be contiscated. Even u fall
ing tree that caused the death of a hu-
man being can be taken from it's owner.
The strangest punishment which still
survives under modern law i'll England
is that Of "outlawry." Only a few
| years ago-in 1906 to be exact-a law
yer charged with forging a check was
"outlawed' in the Glasgow high court.
By this sentence the person of the ac-
cused is declared forfeit. He cannot
bear testimony in a court nor sue nor
defend an action. He cannot act on a
jury nor vote at IN election nor act as
tutor or guardian to another person.
If any one robs him he has no redress.
If any one kills him it seems rather
doubtful if that person can be hanged.
