DOCS AS CARRIERS.
How They Are Trained for Ser,

A Dog Training Camp in France,

light ard left all over the place there
.re terrific explosions with clouds CT
smoke and DUST.
The dogs are not frightened, soc
they have been taught that eNpIo-
nosis are merely the prelude TO
neal. AS the grenades go off the
'dog-men" run down the line, push
ng each dogs plate of steamias
ood within reach, so tn, ~ are
served at the same time.
This training teaches the dogs, car
rying messages at the front to pass
through the heaviest barrage with
pose Of all the racket is to announce
lis dinner. Arriving with the message
1T headquarters, the dog at once finds
his waiting master, wlo detaches the
message from the collar receptacle
and Immediately rewards the animal
With food. In this way communica-
ions can be maintained with adva1c-
ed elements Of troops without tis
sacrifice Of human life
The advantages of ii dog messenger
are many. The dos OF course runs
much more quickly than man
messenger, and presents a far moro
difficult target for enemy snipcrs. In
the case OF small garrisons IN outly-
ings posts the sending of soldier run
ners seriously Weakens the fighting
power Of the unit, besides exposing
he messengers TO ali the perils Of
fire-swept zone. Experience has
proved that combination OF dog
and carrier pigeon service is. if not
more reliable than that OF the hui
man runners, very much more ef-
icient.
1t is OF the utmost importance that
the dog Of war be safeguarded from
all Establishments and temptations tc

everything depends. when he is re
leased, upon his boiling straight bach
