The presence of instructors
lat Funston of French and Brit
|ish experts in gunnery, bayonet
practice and other specialized
branches of warfare, led to one
of the odd incidents with which
the war is replete. A British
lieutenant stood, after mess,
chatting with a French Captain
and an American officer. dur
ing the conversation the three
more or less unconsciously COM
pairing notes. The Englishman,
it turned out, was a member of
one Of the oldest Of British mill
tal'y organizations, the Tenth
North Lincolnshire Regiment of
Foot. It was chat regiment that
took part in the historic battles
Of Concord and Lexington dur
ing the Revolution.
Very shortly after the Of
ficial adoption Of the police
dogs for the use Of the seth
Division in war work, came the
practical need for the animals,
IN which they proved their
value. It was largely due to the
activities Of one Of them from
the kennels Of the S53d regiment
that the trail was pointed lead
ing to the uncovering of
in the recent tragedy
at the Army Bank of Funston.
in which four men were killed
with an axe in the hands Of an
army captain. Immediately up.
On the discovery Of the crime
the police dog belonging to
Capt. j. C. Maseck,, adjutant Of
the 353d was sent for. Leading
Capt. Chas. Smallwood, acting
provost marshal, the intelligent
animal pointed a trail that i'm
nediately lead to the disclosure
Of much valuable evidence,
which later resulted in the
suicide Of the guilty officer. |
The 353d regiment now has sew
,ral dogs in training in it's ken
lels, and a dozen or more are
a preparatory educa-
ion in the army work at the
division kennels on the hill over
ooking the camp. It is an odd
'act that two of the most

enough. The present German debt
is owed to her own people who thus

EMPLOYEES AND STRIKES

One Of the pleasures of being an
employe of the government under
public ownership plans is that
strikes are forbidden, says the Man
ufacturer.
Director General McAdoo warns
the telegraphers that under govern
ment operation OF telegraphs and
telephones strikes must go.
He says: "You are now working
for the government and no strike
has ever occurred against the gov
ernment." Except in shipyards. etc,
etc.
It was impossible to announce a
decision of the war wage board on
the demands Of the telegraphers and
SO he asked them to wait.
The theory that government en-
ployes cannot strike has not been
true in other countries, as for in
stance England and France.
President Wilson and Director Nc
Adoo deserve commendation for re-
primanding threatening strikers and
the rule may be established.
1t is a fact that postal employees
and city, county and state and fed
eral employees, or Job holders have
never gone on strike.
