ness bursts; often the wagons broke down
under the terrible strain. There were times
when the horses seemed unequal to the all
but impossible task. But their riders drew
whips and logged them through-made
them give up those last few ounces of
strength which were necessary to win. And
when, sometimes happened, flesh and
blood could do no more even under the
stimuant of the whip the riders cut them
loose, threw off their harness, put pack
saddles on their backs, loaded them with
the needed supplies and logged them out
of the morass. For it was the great game
of war they were playing, a game in which
tnings must be accomplished whether they
are possible or not. There were men to
be fed and guns to be fed, and uron the
feeding of them the fate of the world de-
pended. This was the work and these the
conditions which reduced the vitality of the
horses and mules and made them subject
to disease. Many went lame with cracked
hoofs, from prolonged standing in cold mud.
Thousands went partially or totally blind
from ophthalmia induced by overwork and
exposure, and thousands more were afflicted
with sarcoptc mango, caused by parasite
from the mud which chung to their bodies
and which laid its eggs beneath the skin.
Mango was the scourge of the army horse
in France 1t attacked mules, too but not
nearly often. 1t causes large areas Of
the skin, especially on the sides and with
ers, to become dry and hard. On these
areas the hair falls out and there is an in
tolerable itching of the parts affected. Sew
eral methods of treatment were tried with
more or less success. One method consisted
of placing the patient in closed stall with
only his head sticking out, and then flood
ing the stall with sulphuric acid gas. BY
far the most effective method was that
known as clipping" The horse was made
to jump down into warm bath of calcium
sulphde, in which he was obliged to swim
a short distance before he could scramble
out at the further end. This treatment was
repeated four or five times, and usually at
tho end of two months the patient was per-
fedtly well and able to go back to work.
Special hospitals were established for the
treatment Of each disease, so that in most
cases the animals were actually treated
by specialists. This is true of the British
army at least, and the fact that over 80 per
cept OF the horses which passed through the
British veterinary hospitals were cured is
proof of the success which attended this
method Horses and mules cured of disease
but still too weak for active service are
sent to convalescent hospitals far from the
front, whore good grazing pure water and
regular grooming and exercise will help

A dramatic little story in which dog and

devastating fire, and it did not seem posi-

battery the left was doing most of the
damage; if that could be silenced there

VcU Trained
Sentries

Dogs used for sentry and patrol duty
were trained not to bark; that would give
valuable information to the enemy. They
must only growl in low tone; that told
their masters that they had observed some
thing suspicious that they had seen or
heard or smelled some unusual activity on
the part of the opposing forces One night
not long ago a number of French sentry
dogs sat with their heads stuck through
holes cut for the purpose in the wall of
front line trench. All at once these dogs
began to growl and the hair on their backs
and necks bristled in anger. The human
sentries heard item and looked out over
No Mans Land, but not thing could they
see or hear But they trusted the dogs and
sent back for renforcements. which were
sent up on the double time" and twenty
minutes after the dogs had given warning
the Germans came over the top. But the
renforcenents were there to receive them
and few of the Germans went back
And some of the messenger dogs did won
derful work in this very dangerous branch
Of the service. To mention only one, there
was Marquis, who served the French army
for months with great distinction. On his
message to certain group of officers, who
saw him coming and had their hands out
stretched to greet him. In long bounds he
raced through the mud and she'll craters
and had fairly reached his goal when, in
the very last leap. a German bullet found
his loyal heart and he fell in crumpled
heap at the feet of the waiting men. In
metal tube his bloody collar was the

his bit and gone West, with record very

But the great messengers Of the war were

and an unquenchable desire TO go back to
the home they loved all the army had 70 do
to establish homes for them near the
headquarters to which messages were TO he
delivered These homes were in many eases
vanlike coops on wheels, and were moved
from place to place as the army moved. In
wicker baskets, usually with compartments
for several birds, they were carried by
couriers to the front line trenches or 10

slogan, "They shall not pass" The num-
Der of those wounded must be very much
larger A wounded horse is problem for
the veterinary surgeons. He has become
"unservceablc"; he is no longer useful.
More than that, he is in the way, and the
first thing to be done is to get him out
of the road.
Then if his case is not hopeless he must
be cured and if possible brought back to
the front. To ease his pain, to heal his
wounds and make him we'll is splendid
humane work; but the humane idea is not
the principal one behind the veterinary ser
vice of the army Horses are indispensable,
and once lost they are not easy to replace.
Therefore great care must be taken not
to lose those already in the field. One
gets some idea of the Importance CT the
veterinary service when it is learned that
the veterinary force of the British army
comprises 10000 mem The French veteri-
nary force also is very large, and both are
wonderfully organized Behind these forces
and doing for the animals what the Red
Cross does for the human soldiers are sew
eral organizations. The British veteri-
narians are assisted by the Royal Society
the French by the Blue Cross and the
Americans by the Red Star.
When an animal is wounded he is given
first aid and sent to hospital. If an
operation is requred-if there are bullets or
she'll splnters to be extracted-he is laid
on a mattress, etherized and the surgeons
do their duty. AS many as twenty-threc
she'll splinters have been extracted from
the body Of horse, and that horse lived
and months later saw active service again.
But it is not wounds that cause the great
est number of casualties among animals in
the army; it is the terrible work they have
to do. and the terrible conditions under
which they have to do it. Think of the
mules in endless lines and carrying stag
gering loads, winding up, steep mountain
sides all day long, perhaps on half rations,
and with the certainty of standing all night
in the bitter air Picture if you can the
horses drawing supply wagons through the

Hoe the Dogs
Were Used

But am nearing the limit Of my space
and l must speak of the dogs Theirs was
not so important a part as that of the
horses and mules, or even as that of the
camels, but it a brilliant part and often
spectacular and dramatic. And Of all the
animals used in the war the dogs were the
most eager, the most intelligent-the only
four-foots that could ever be relied on to
do bit of work strictly "on their own"
Some Of the dogs were merely mascots-
merely smiling, tail wagging bounding. low

who came and dug the sergeant out. limp
and almost dead He was carried to p hos
pital and an anxious dog limped behind the
ambulance. He followed the strotcher into
the ward and one had the heart to nut
HIN out. Indeed, when the head nurse
heard the story she said: "He has as good
a right here as any of US have" So he
stayed and helped to nurse his grateful
master back to health and they left the
hospital together.
AS every one knows, in many of the Euro
pean countries, notably Belgium. Holland.
Switzerland and Northern France. dogs have
long been used as draueht. animals. SO when
the Germans broke through into Belgium it
was only natural that many of these dogs
should be used in hauling refugees out of
the invaded territory. They have been in
the war ever since, and they have served
with devotion and singleness Of purpose
such as dogs alone can give. The nature
of the services they rendered differed wide
ly. Some were kept at their old work. haul
ing carts, usually in double harness. They
distributed blankets and other supplies
throughout the camps; they carried officers
from point to point they drew casks OF
water for their thirsty comrades. and. at
tached to dog ambulances, they were given
the right OF way as they sped with wounded
canine soldiers TO the hospitals behind the
lines. Other harness dogs were used to
maui machine guns to the front The work
required special training to make them
steady under fire. This was done bv nuttiny
them IN an Enclosure and firing blank car

Other dogs were trained to bear packs on
their backs and were used to carry definite
