D0CS TO PLAY PART
 IN NAR
(By United Press)

WASHINGTON, July 31. The American dog is going to do his bit in the war. Red Cross eanines are in big demand on the western front Wearing gas masks, they go out be- tween the trenches and locate uncon- scious, wounded men in piles of dead.
 The Red Cross establishment which will care for American wounded when the national army starts pounding the kaiser would be incomplete without it's quota of dogs. Plans are under way to have Uncle Sam's bow-wows take their places on the fighting line beside those of France and Great Britain. some of which have actually received decorations for their work under fire. Several months of train. ing is necessary before the dogs are icduy TOT StINiCG. l nGS must bt taught to range the shell-swcpt areas of No-man's Land hunting the woun- ded, whom the busy stretcher bearers could not at first glance distinguish from the dead When an unconscious man is located, the dog Is trained te carry his "tin hat" or shrapnel hel- met to the stretcher bearers, and then to lead them back to where the suf- fcrer is lying.
 Many Red Cross dogs have been produced in England As trench war fare has rendered them a necessity, a project is under consideration to train the Americans "Rovers" some where in the United Stares and to send them over with other Red Cross units. Blue bloods are not the only ones needed. Yellow CUTS can do their bit for America also, if they have the spirit, and enough dog brains.

 "Distrust strangers. The most eour- teous stranger may be clever crook, proclaims one of the signs. Don't display your money in the open. ; shouts another in starting white let toring. Others say: Don't close close your house for the summer with out asking a neighbor to keep an eye on it." ''The police must be gentle but firm.
