approach CT raiding parties of Ger
panions had any idea that any hostile
movement was in progress.
In fact, considerable part of the
French success in beating off German
raids has been due to the dog -sentinels'
acute vision and hearing. One battal-
ion of the famous Alpine Chasseurs
which possesses a number of these
animals has, owing to their alertness,
been enabled to prepare timely de-
Tense on six occasions this month
against German night attacks. When
the Germans, arrived at the French
wire they found the rifle-men waiting
for them and they were driven back
with heavy losses, while the Chasseurs
themselves never lost a man killed.
All the soldiers at the front have
learned to have very strong confidence
in the instinct of their dog compan-
ions, who participated in all their
perils and often save them from death
or capture.
Efforts we're made at one time to
use dogs as companions of the French
night patrols which creep out between
the lines to try to see what is going on
in the enemy's trenches. The expert
ment, however, was not entirely sue.

trolls would meet and the dogs &C.
companying one party would attack
the men composing the other If the
same men always went out on patrol
duty it would be different, as the dogs
would learn to recognize them even in
the dark, but this is not possible.
The dogs are placed on the regimen.
tai rosters in the same way as the sol.
diers and they also draw regular "a.
tons. In the front trenches they share
with the soldiers all the discomforts
of underground life, and when the men
are relieved they go with them to en-.
joy the comforts of environments.
Then they are Clearly housed in ken
nels, are washed and brushed and re.
gularly fed and they are at all times
petted by the men, who regard them
as true comrades.
The utilization of dogs for war work
is extending daily, and those animals
found unsuitable for active service at
the front are proving of practical use
in the guarding Of munition works and
other depots in the rear

FRENCH FRONT.-Dog-sen OF

turn of repose together with their hui

today saw a number of these animals
frisking about their soldier friends in
the waters of a canal running through
the territory of the Somme whence
recently the Germans were driven.
The dogs appeared to enjoy their re,

, whom they had just marched back
from the trenches after spell of duty
lasting twelve days. ~
These dogs, mostly of the sheepdog
species, do most valuable service, at
night more especially, in company
with the look-outs who have the task
of keeping an unfailing guard on the
front lines. The dogs have become
quite accustomed to the roar and
bursting of shells, which when the
animals were first sent to the fighting
line caused them to run off with their
tails dropping. ..
Now when the human sentinels are
posted right in face of the enemy the
dogs take up their position quite ma
turally besides them and keep sharp
watch out over mo mans land" Their
ears perked up at the slightest rustic
in the darkness in front, but the dogs
do not bark or growl. Instead they
call the attention of the soldier sentry
by wagging their tails and moving
about nervously. On many occasions

LIVES OF BULGARS ARE
FORFEIT IF HUNS TAKE
THEM WAR PRISONERS
IBy Associated Pressl

LONDON, Eng. - AS evidence that
the Germans have taught the Bulgar-
ians that their lives will be forfeited
if they are taken prisoners by the
British, the following extract from a
letter by British officer on the Salon
Xxi front is published by the Daily
Telegraph:
When we rounded up sixty Bulgar-
ians in an attack recently the poor
wretches were utterly terrified Two
or three tried to drown themselves in
a pool, while others knelt on the
ground making the sign of the cross
and waiting an assassin's bayonet
thrust or worse.
One who was a real sportsman kept
his head and made a desperate effort
to escape, very nearly getting shot,
until he saw it was useless, and fling
ing down his rifle, surrendered to an
officer Besides this officer a Tommy
stood watchfully in case the Bulgar
was up to any nasty tricks, and the
latter seeing his attitude and taking
him for his appointed murderer. with
a dramatic gesture threw back his
head and barred his chest. He opened
his shirt with both hands, then faced
the soldier with the bayonet whom he
supposed to be waiting for the officers
word to run him through
"Tommy's method of easing the ten.
sion was rapid. He brought out his
packet of cigarettes and offered one
TO the Bulgar.
up to this moment the Bulgar had
been as brave as lion. but the offer
of the cigarette in place of the end of

the bayonet was too sudden a change
in his outlook. He gave gasp and sat
down trembling, unable to light the
cigarette at the match which the SOL
der was holding ready for him.

appointed, but owing to the stress OF
many other important matters. moth

We have interesting topics for our

Colonial laws and how they compare
with today. Also, "Woman and To-

it would be interesting to study the

The question has often been asked
as to the work accomplished by the
Women's Club, and we thought it not
amiss to give short and concise
statement of last years money raised
and expended entirely outside of our
own club affairs. $1400 was given
to send one Of our county girls to Tai
lahassee for the short course in do
mestic science. $45.25 was given to
the High and Public schools for the
library and play ground funds.
$100 a month was paid regularly to
the Associated Charities. $1.00 a
month was also paid for the upkeep
of baby bed at union depot.
$500 was made and given to the
Red Cross.
$500 for the Army and Navy Lii
brary
$500 was gwen to help buy a Vic
trolia for delinquent children in the
home.
A new Testament withPsalms was
given to each and every boy drafted
f. ON our county. The club has felt
very sorry they could not give the
Testament to every county boy who
enlisted but found it would cost more
than they had funds, so have had to
confne it to boys who were drafted
Resides the money side the Club has
been interested and assisted in al
most every national and civic move
ment through the past year. The
question is, is the Club worth while?
