ENGLAND'S DOG ARMY
RENDERED NOBLE SERVICE
IN GREAT WAR

London, Jan. 27.--England's dog
army rendered gallant service in the
war. Many soldier owes his life to
some poor, uncared-for, stray dog.
For nearly two years dogs were en-
ployed by the British as messengers,
az sentries and as guards.
Early in 1917 a war dog school OF
instruction was established by the
British War Office, and Lieutenant.
Colonel Richardson, who has devoted
his life to training dogs for military
and police purpose, was appointed
commandant of the school. Game
keepers, hunt servants and shepherds
were called up from the army to as
sist in the work of instruction.
After a thorough training In Eng
land, the dogs were sent to France,
and on the battleflelds their skill,
courage and tenacity amazed the
army. Often wounded in the perform
ance Of their duties, they never fal-
tered while strength remained to car
ry on. The official record Of their
heroic work tells of successful mes
sage.carrying through darkness, mist,
rain and shell-flre over the most difii-
cult ground. In few minutes time
dogs have brought messages over
ground that would take soldier run
ner hours to cross.
During the great German advance
last spring part of the British line
in front of famous French town was
cut off by severe enemy barrage. A
messenger dog was released with an
urgent appeal for reinforcements. It
ran two miles in ten minutes. The
result was that French colonial d.
vision was sent up and prevented a
disaster. The messenger was a High.
land sheep dog
Another dog with a message ran
nearly four miles In twenty minutes,
and still another In the same time
carried back from the front map Of
an important captured position, when
a man would have taken an hour and
half to bring It in.
The dogs which have been found
most successful in war work are col
lies, sheep dogs, lurchers and sire.
dales, and crosses of these varieties,
while in number of cases Welsh and
Irish terriers have given excellent
results.
The work of sentry dogs has been
valuable, especially In the Balkans.
One gave warning of an enemy scout
300 yards away. On many occasions
dogs have given warning OF enemy
patrols long before the soldier SEN
tries were aware of their presence.
Large numbers of dogs have been
used for guard duty, many on the
Italian front.

PRODUCED by City Company
Can Make Better Time:
lO8 Ready for Service

Transit congestion in Brooklyn will;
be greatly relieved within tho next ten
days, II is believed. by the adoption by

will be in use.

the cars have proved to the officials
that they can maintain a faster head
way during the rush hour than the
more penderous type car and afford
greater comfort to passengers. One
man will act ~ motorman and con-
ductor OF each car.
virtually every safety feature Of
proved merit is embodied in the new
equipment, Mr.. Porter said. The cars
are OF the Birney type and Of all-steel
constructlon. Passengers will find it
impossible to hop on or off at their
Will, and they will not be injured if
they are caught by closing door. The
car cannot be moved or the brakes re-
leased until the door is closed. and the
brakes must be applied and the con-
troller resting at "off" before the door
can be opened. Rubber tubing edges
the door, so that passengers are in
sured against injury. There is spe-
cial safety device on the controller
which makes it necessary for the mo-
torman to be conscious of his work at
all times. Should he lapse into mat
tention the car automatically will be
stopped. A stool is provided for the
motorman, so that he may rest when
fatigued.
The new cars measure 81 feet and 9
inches over bumpers and feet 10
inches in width. The roofs are arched
and the sides are of steel, with win
dows arranged for raising. The bodies
are of standard form and size, the seats
run crosswise, and the door is 80 inches
wide. The car weighs $4,000 pounds.
There are no facilities for straphang-
ers, but instead each seat has handle
to which standing passengers may hold.
1t was pointed out at the company's
headquarters that the adoption Of the
new safety car is the first step of a
series in a program of improvements
designed to give Brooklyn the best pos
sible transit service. The road is I'M
der independent operation since its
severance from the Brooklyn Rapid
