FRANCE IN GREAT
NEED OF DOGS
FOR WAR SERVICE
Important Roles Played by
CANNES at Front-Carry
Aid to Wounded and
Scent Out Enemy.
BY HENRY WOOD.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
With the French Armies, Sept. s..
(By maiD-France is short on dogs.
Thousands are needed for the army.
Every dog pound in the republic Is
contributing every cur 1t picks up and
numerous breeding societies are fur
nishing regular quotas-but still there
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 reg
ular part of the equipment Of every
French army now. 1t turns out trained
animals for front service.
NEW DUTIES FOR DOGS.
Originally dogs were used for just
two purposes-carrying aid to the
wounded and accompanying patrols to
scent out" the enemy. The Belgians
have always had third duty-that
of training dogs to draw machine guns
But the highly specialized art Of war
today has resulted in amplification Of
these duties. Two of the most import
ant roles now played by CANNES are
Jason work and sentinel work. These
can be said to have attained supreme
Importance.
Ltason dogs have the most danger
Gus and most useful parts to play
They carry messages between attack
ing troops and batteries to the rear
which shield these troops by barrage
fire. The intensity Of enemy counter
barrages to prevent this kills hundreds
of dogs-but still many trained. ami
mails slip through. For every dog who
dies on the field Of honor. France con-
siders 1t has saved the life of the SOL
der messenger who otherwise would
have to do the work.
DEVELOP INTO sENTiNELS.
Many dogs who fail to show apti-
tude for Jason 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
individual soldier that attempts pass
age of barbed wire entanglements
ahead.
Dogs are still being trained and used
to carry aid to wounded. One veteran
-Dick-who has been officially decor
atsd with the war cross for bravery"
at verdun where his master was killed
and the dog himself gravely wounded,
has just gone back into active service
again, attached to section Of the
American ambulance.

Deschutes County Bill
Disturbs Lower House

Six bills were passed by the house
this morning, one was referred to the
committee on consolidation of COM
missions, and one was laid on the table
for further consideration.
There was no strenuous contest on
any of the bills with the exception of
the bill creating and validating the new
county of Deschutes, which was intro
duced by Forbes of Crook Grant, JEFF
ferson, klamath and Lake counties as
a result of the people voting in No.
vember to divide Crook county and
create the new county out of the west
ern part.
This bill brought out skirmish be-
tween Representative Forbes and Rep
resentatiye Burdick, also Of Crook,
Grant, Jefferson Klamath and Lake
counties.
Representative Forbes as author of
house bill No. 135, explained the pro-
posed measure and stated that as re-
suit Of the election last November the
new county was created and that the
Officers Of the court had been appoint
ed by the governor, that lands have
been transferred, court business trans
acted, marriages performed, people in
dicted, etc, and he asked the legislature
to validate the actions of the officials
and make the business Legal.
Representative Burdick opposed the
on the ground that the status
of Deschutes county was now in the
hands Of the circuit court for jurisdic-
ton He declared the voting was UNI
crcn.and that the heaviest was in Bend,
which favored the division, while the
irrigated district where the country
was divided into small farms did not
favor the proposed change as it would
throw an Increased burden on them.
Accordingly. he said the farmers in
his section raised money to take the
matter into court and having the issue
decided there. He asked whether the
members would legislate these farmers
out 0f court. He asked the members to
csnsiiler the precedent they were es-
tablishing if they pass the measure. He
asked if it was fair or equitable lie
declared the emergency clause attached
was unnecessary.
Representative Crandall asked if tine
matter was now in court and Burdiek
replied that il was. nc asked if the
court had jurisdiction and Burdick re
Piled that it had.
