Heroic French War Dog Honored BY Army
NOlU An American Thanks to YMCA. Man
Loost, Credited With TtDo
Official Citations, Spent
Years in No Mans Land
on Slopes of VeTdun Pro-
tecting Outposfs from Ger
man Raiders and Patrols.

II the airmen were the eyes of
the army, this dog was the ears of
at least a part Of it. For two years
he lay every night out in No Mans
Land, watching and listening for
German patrols and raiding parties.
His name is Loost, and as q
real veteran of the war he has two
citations to his credit for having
saved French troops from surprise
attacks by Hun patrols ON the out
er defences of Verdun. So acute Is
Loost's hearing that he could detect
sappers trying to tunnel under the
French trenches, gift that enabled
him several times to spoil the plans
of the German engineers.
After the armistice was signed,
Loost came into the hands of the
French War Dog Society which en-
couraged the breeding OF such dogs
long before the war and later has
taken care OF those animals which
became disabled or too old to be
longer fit for active work. II was
while he was a guest" OF the So
ciety that Loost met his present
owner, Ralph H. McKelvey, a New
York insurance broker, who was
doing welfare work in France for
the Y.M.C.A.
McKelVey's work was the distri-
button of tons Of books for the
doughboys in all parts OF France.
A great warehouse in Paris was
filed with volumes, pamphlets and
reading matter of all sorts. and 1t
was McKelvey's job to keep this
mass of literature moving to the
points where II was most needed.
So well did he do this that the
president of the War Dog Society,
from admiration Of McKelvey's
work. and knowing McKelvey's love
Of dogs, promised him a canine war
hero to bring to America and give
a home.
Loost does not know a word of
English and has to be spoken to in

a special make and equipped with
sidecars, arrived for their use. 1t

the old style machines proved a

away with the danger of operat-
