In an editorial OF last week, your

J. o. Driscoll OF Ironwood was chos-
4n the candidate for circuit Judge TO
succeed Judge Cooper Of the Gogebic
circuit at the primary held last week.
The contest for this position between
Messrs Driscoll, O'Neil and VanSlyke
was rather spirited and Mr.. Driscolrs
victory is therefore a gratifying one.
The choice OF Driscoll for the circuit
bench Is awarding a well merited
honor upon hardworking, self made
man. a few years ago Mr.. Driscoll
was barber at Watersmeet. Between
shaves he spent his time studying law
books and as soon as he got money
enough to pilot him through law
school he quit barbering and finished

menced in his barber shop. lie was

SATURDAY, MARCH IL, 1917.



In another column there appears a
communication from "Workingmah
In which he complains OF criticism
that we made last week on Pres. Will
sons attitude towards his associates
In the government, the senators and
representatives. What we said was
that in not knowing just how far he
could go with his program and have
the support OF his associates, he
showed shortening that has been
evidenced all through his official
career.
This is no time to start arguments
over the policies Of Pres. Wilson and
Il is not our intention to do so for all

him or not.

Where the President fell down was

dogs OF WAR" BUSY
Many Important Duties for Canine
Heroes-Necd More in France.
BY HENRY WOOD.

With the French Armies, Oct. g.
France is short on dogs. Thousands
are needed for the army. Every dog
pound in the republic is contributing
every cur it picks up and numerous
breeding societies are furnishing regu-
lar quotas-but still there I aren't
enough.
So many diverse duties have been
developed for dogs in the war that
practically every canine, provided he
is intelligent enough to be trained. can
be used
A dog kennel-large enough for
training of hundreds of dogs-is a
regular part of the equipment of every

Develop New Duties.
Originally, dogs were used for lust
two purposes-carrying aid to the
wounded and accompanying patrols to
scent out" the enemy. The BeIgians
have always had a third duty-that of
training dogs to drag machine guns.
But the highly specialized art of
war today has resulted in amplifica
t1on of these duties. Two of the most
important roles now played by CANNES
are liason work and sentinel work
These can be said to have attained su-
preme importance.
Llason dogs have the most danger

They carry messages between attach
ing troops and batteries to the rear
which shield these troops by barrage
fire. The intensity of enemy counter

dreds of dogs-but still many trained
animals slip thru. For every dog who
dies on the field of honor. France
considers it has saved the life of the,
SOLDIER messenger who otherwise
would have to do the work.
One Awarded War Cross.
Many dogs who fail to show anti
tude for liason work develop into ex
cellent sentinels. Those particularly
fitted for this work take their place at
the top of the trench alongside the
gun barrel of their master and detect
every patrol or every individual SOL
der that attempts passage of barbed
wire entanglements ahead.
Dogs are still being trained and used
