Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is the star
contributor OF the June Everybody y
In this number he begins series OF
articles on the share taken by the Brit
ish in the fighting on the western
front. These papers, the editors point
out. are particularly timely at TINS
moment. when criticism of British mil
itary policies and leadership, doubt
even of British good faith, is heard
among the Allies as we'll as in neutral
countries. Sir Arthur's first contribu-
ton deals with the battle of Mons.
chiefly with its tactics, but also with
the strategy and the considerations
which changed its original dispositions
"The general plan Of campaign was IN
the hands of General Joffre II has
been admitted that the original dis
positions might be open 10 criticism,
since a number of French troops had
engaged themselves in Alsace and
Lorraine, 10 the weakening Of the line
of battle in the north where the fate
of Paris was to be decided. fur

bv the intense sympathy felt by both
the French and the British for the
gallant Belgians. 1t would be unchiv-
alrous not 10 advance and do what
was possible 20 relieve the intolerable
pressure which was crushing them.
IL was resolved. therefore, to aban-
don the plan by which the Germans
should be led as far as possible from
their base and 10 attack at once.
For this purpose the French army
changed its whole dispositions and
advanced over the Bel gian frontier.
The British troops formed the left
of the Allied line" In the morning
of August % the battle began; at
5 in the afternoon the general British
position was grave, but not critical,
when Joffre warned French that four
German corps were in front OF him,
while another army corps was coming
I'D on his right flank. And, what was
more serious, the French on his right
were already in full retreat; on his
left he was practically unsupported.
Then began the retreat. Sir Arthur
informs US that he has nowhere found
need OF suppression, that there are
no facts to conceal" but he adds that
sit is not to be supposed that all has
been set down" Indeed, it has not.
One need only recall Mr.. Belloc's sug-
gestion that French's conduct Of the
battle should be inquired into later

DOGS AT FRONT
AID In FIGHTING
Used as Sentinels, Patrols,
Messengers and Red
Cross Helpers.

Paris, May 10 Hunting dogs make
poor war dogs, according TO one OF the
specialists who have been training
these animals at the front. Another
development Of the experience OF d
year and half is that the female is
superior TO the male.
The French war dogs are now divided
into five classes: /, Dog sentnels; 2,
patrol dogs; 3. dispatch bearers; 4, am
bulance dogs; 8, draft dogs.
Stories have been told OF dogs that
have been taught TO growl signals into
q telephone and to ring bells on the
approach Of a cloud of sufiocating gas.
What the dog has really learned TO do
is sufficient without attributing TO him
fantastic at.ainments.
Dogs have carried messages between
posts three miles apart, arriving infalli-
bly, at their destinations and returning
to the point of departure, fearless Of
shells and deaf to any appeals made to
them en- route. Not even the frequent
upheaval of the ground over which they
have once passed and the confusions Of
trails can put them off their course.
"To reach this degree of perfection, "
says the trainer, zone must take the
greatest care to avoid even the appear
ance Of brutality toward the pupil; the
dog must never be frightened while he
is learning his duties. The ambulance
dog must seek rather than trail the
wounded man, and the regulations gov
erning their use have been found TO be
deficient as their development has pro-
ceeded. The rules prescribe, for in
stance, that the dog must be taught to
bring back the cap Of the wounded
man he has found. Wounded men,
however. in a great many instances no
longer have cap when they are dis
covered; they may have helmet with
the iugular under the chin so that the
dog cannot get il OF.
Sometimes the dogs bring in to-
bacco pouch, a cigar lighter, anything
they find in a mans pocket IN default
OF a cap or handkerchief"
The efficiency Of the dog sentinel
was illustrated by an incident az an
important point on the front where
one Of these animals suddenly began
trotting oblquely toward the right and
making signs that there was present
in that direction something that was
foreign 70 the trench.
There is something going on yon-
der" said his conductor.
"Your mongrel is dreaming" replied
soldier. ave have a sharp lookout
there; there's nothing"
There must be a patrol leaving the
trenches over there. or going back"
Nothing at all" insisted the lookout.
There's something over there, just
the same. Perhaps it's listening post
dug in toward our lines"
The officer commanding the section
being notified, ordered the firing OF
three illuminating fuses. and in the
glare three blond German heads were
seen over the parapet Of an advanced
trench.
That's capital" exclaimed the Off
Ger. That dog has discovered in an
instant listening post that We have
been looking for these two months"

BAYONNE BARRIERS WIN
STRIKE, GO TO WORK
Customers Crowd Shops with
6.Day GrOWths.

Masculine Bayonne came out from
behind its six days growth of beard
Yesterday and rubbed its smoothed
chin in satisfaction for the first time
since half the BARRIERS in the town
went out on strike last Saturday.
When the BARRIERS walked out in their
fight for shorter hours the proprietors
vowed they'd fight il out II it took al i
summer, and possessors of wiry boards
faced a wrestle with safety razor or
sure death by the blade Of an old
fashioned one.
Night before last the gladstone word
was passed about that the BARRIERS had
won their point. Early yesterday
morning lines began to form before
every shop in town, and until noon the
merry scrspe of the razor resounded.

Difference Of Opinion
Editor Record:

Editor Record;
Dear Sir Having read the
article in last weeks issue, from
the Vashon Heights correspond
ent, | beg to express different
opinion with regard to the prin-
cipal asset on the Island.
With deep appreciation of
the cannery, the bank, The Re
cord, and an apology to the writ
er, allow me to say that the first
and foremost asset of Vashon Is
land is the telephone system,
which keeps US in touch with the
outside world as well as with all
parts of the Islands.
Not only telephone, but tele-
graphic and photographic as well;
also for rapid transfer of money.
Many a life has been saved by
the use of the telephone; also,
many a disastrous fire has been
prevented.
Every one, big and little, makes
use of the telephone.
Remove the telephone system
from Vashon- Maury Islands and
you have Paradise lost.
