Accomplishment Little Short of

Washington, June 2s.-The United States marines who are going to France will think many times of the kindness of American women in adding to their comfort and health by providing them with extra gar 1nents and comfort outfits, says Major General George Barnett, comman- dant Of marines in a letter received today by Mrs. James Carroll Fraser. chairman of the comforts committee of the Navy League.
 Every marine in the expeditionary force has been provided with extra wooden clothing knitted by the women of the Navy League. It was necessary to rush this work through so rapidly that Colonel c. A.

The people were not permitted to know the truth. and when the truth finally emerged out of costly ,blunders and sacrince. they were 10th to accept 1t.

 Christiana, June 29.-In the inves- tigation into the German espionage system a secret wireless station has been discovered on an island outside of Arendal, with a wide view of the sea.

 In the Storting the government has been criticised for it's lack of control over foreigners, who travel unmo- Tested or work as laborers. The crew of the interned German auxiliary cruiser Berlin at Trondhjem have re- ceived more liberal leaves of absence than the Norwegian soldiers guarding them.

forward from its cover two English
barrage fires took them on the flank
and turned them aside into a sunken
road. The enemy in dense formation

DOGS IN NEW WAR
ROLE PROVE SUCCESS

WASHINGTON. Sept. l3.-The war
is about to provide another duty for
dogs. These canine friends of man
are already performing with ultra.
satisfaction a great variety OF tasks
on the battlefields and in the trenches
and training centers.
II remained for an attendant at
one of the training schools for the
blind soldiers of France to discover
that dogs might be used for guiding
soldiers who have lost their eyesight.
After a series of training expert.
ments with dogs picked up on the
streets of Paris, the results have
been found to be truly astonishing.
rnC natural habits of the dog have
been successfully subordinated to its
purposes in guiding the men. One OF
the dogs. selected at random, guided
a blindfolded officer for distance
of two miles without accident. Com
ing TO a fence under which the dog
might easily pass. he would, instead
go around the obstruction. Boulder.
and holes placed in the path were
negotiated by the dog TURNING
abruptly with tug on his leash a!
a sort OF signal. The obstruction
passed. he would again return to III
path.

There are considerable numbers OF
Colonial troops serving with the

is certain proportion of poly gamists.
Some are Mohammedan. while others
profess religions that allow of their
adherents keeping more or less i'm

The question has now arisen in
France as to how the widows of
black soldiers fallen on the battle
field are to be provided for in the
way pr pensions.
1t appears that they are entitled to
a pension. but the French law, which
does not wish to give them preferen-
tial treatment as compared with
white women. is only allowing them
the same amount of money as would
fall to the wife of an ordinary soldier
who lives under the monogamist re
