night In the snow. and found many
wounded. At last the guide was over
come by the cold and exhaustion, and
the faithful dog quickly summoned
help. The man was carried into camp.
and a week later he died. The dog
was so overcome with grief at the loss
of his master that he would neither
work nor eat. At the end of another
week he. too. was dead. and they buried
him beside the master he had loved so
well.
All the dogs at the front are given the
greatest care. and are exposed as little
as possible to the danger of getting
shot. If any of them are hit by stray
bullet they are sent to the dog hos
pital and treated If they are manned
so that they cannot do active work and
they do not suffer. they are sent back
TO Germany. where they are given good
homes, many German families being
anxious to care for dogs that have seen
active service.
Although the finest of the police dogs
are in the field. still a number have
been left behind to do other kinds Of
work They are used as protectors OF
the woman night watchmen, woman
door closers, women who deliver letters

sible TO calculate. for they have saved
not only Germans, but many of the
enemy as well. They know the differ
ence between a wounded man and
dead man. and they never stop to howl
IL the man they have found is dead.
Near Laon. one night last fall, after
the great battle that was fought. the
dogs and men worked the whole night
hunting the wounded. Many Germans
were found and carried into camp. To-
ward morning a dog named Selke in
sisted on circling around an old house
which had been nearly shot to pieces
during the battle. The hospital work
ers could not find anything. but the dog
would not leave. and finally. when
they tried to pull him away, he jumped
on the roof of the house and howled.
His guide, who knew the dog well
enough to know that something was
there, insisted on the soldiers clearing
away part of the debris. Under the
caved-in floor a wounded man WAS
found. They pulled him out. He was
no less than a French captain, who be
longed to a very rich and avery promi-
nent Partisan family, and he was so
grateful to Selke that he offered to do
nate an immense sum to the Germa n
Red Cross if they would give him the
dog. The Red Cross people said they
could not give him the dog. so the French
captain gave the money just the same.
He lay long time in the hospital at
the front, as he was too SICK to ne
moved, and every day when Selke was
not detailed on a hunt he was allowed
to come and see his admirer The two
are fast friends, and the Frenchman is
such a delightful fellow and liked SO
much by his captors that when the war
is over he may still become the proud
owner of Selke.
When in training, police dogs are not
allowed to notice any one except their
guides. OF course, the dogs are given
time to play, but work and play are
never mixed, and the dogs are taught
the distinction very definitely.
The animals get very much attacheo

local market. and both the coal and

Wotan led the soldiers to the spot
about ten miles distant-where the
wounded man lay in clump of bushes.
The soldier said Wotan arrived there
that morning, and ne had given him

his canteen. But that was not all
When the Germans were carrying the

there, lying in a ditch filled with dead
leaves, were two wounded Scotchmen.
They said that the dog had been there
the day before, but that he had re-

anything to do with them. They had
hoped to catch him and tie message
