BERLIN. - The German war dogs
and war horses are now to have their
memorials. Monuments symbolic OF
gratitude for their services are to be
erected in Berlin. Gen. Field Marshal
Won Mackensen, famous cavalry leader
of the old army, has taken the matter
in hand in regard to the horses, while
the German Society for the Protection
of Animals and the Blind Aid Society
have undertaken to do justice to the
dogs.
The monuments have been designed.
That for the horse depicts rather
lean and WORKOUT equine, leaking like
any one of the thousands OF enfeeoled
beasts which survived four years OF
war. The memorial is to bear the in
scription: Prom the German People
and Front Line Soldiers in Apprecia-
ton of Their Horses Services During
the World War"
The statue which is to honor the
canine heroes Is that of typical Ger
man shepherd dog with its long bushy
tail and alert pointed ears. 1t is to be
placed in the Berlin Geological Gar
denS.
while the horse is being as rapidly
replaced by the motor in Berlin as
anywhere else, the canine populace is
increasing faster than the tax rates
can be raised upon them. A dog IL
cense already costs go marks year In
Berlin, notwithstanding which over
t2O0,00O Of the pets are registered.
Dog raising and dog training have
fAached a high point Of development
N Germany, starting decades ago, put
met a considerable drawback few
years before the war. At that time
Sneonla who considered themselves ex-
pert in analysing the soul OF dog
came to the general conclusion that q
dog was only dog, after all, and had
no soul. The next deduction was that
he could not, therefore, be trained
widely to become a helpmate OF man
kind. This included the decision that
the dog could be Of no actual assistance
to the army or the police forces.
Up to that time the dog had per-
formed regular service in the German
army having been attached to the va
rious battalions of sharpshooterS. IN
1911 all dogs were discharged from
service but when war broke out they
were Immediately called back. A WIDE
spread plea for dogs was issued by the
army, as a matter of fact, and from
every corner of the Reich CANNES OF
every breed were put at the disposal OF
the military authorities. Many OF them
were already trained.
The venture proved an enormous sue
cess 1t was soon found out that the
dog would not only hunt up wounded
on the battlefield, but would also act
as an absolutely dependable carrier OF
dispatches between the front lines and
the rear reserves A whole army corps
of dogs was brought into service in
NpnseQuenah. and their deeds have

to become commissioner he tried to
wish the Job on Scattergood, finally
accepting only on condition that Scat
tergood come along as assistant.
It is also said that when the first
paw envelope was brought TO his desk
he dumped the money out and insisted
that Scattergood take half Of it. On
that basis only would be proceed.
Yet you would not understand Mr..
Rhoads If you thought that his deter
mination to have Mr.. Scattergood with
him was due to lack Of self-confldence.
OutwardIy Unlike.
AS a boy he insisted on playing foot
ball, though far underweight, when ne
was in college at Haverford. AS very
young man, when ordered by his bank
to face the terrible j. p. Morgan the
elder, he went to New York and stood
that X-ray eye in silence until the Nor
gan hand reached for the telephone and
he had accomplished his mission.
Quiet, intense, Mr.. RhoadS has cour-
age. His fault is that he is too modest.
He seems to regard himself as one Of
two Roman Duovirs on this job. 1t Is
understandable If you know Mr.. Rhoads
Also il YOU know Mr.. Scattergood.
For surely fate never before put to-
gether in a single job two men SO I'M
like in temperament and in physical
makeup, while SO similar in ideals and
purpose. Such friendships exist; sell
dom such an association. The edges mt
like two walnut shells.
Rhoads is thin bodied, gaunt-faceo,
very quiet in manner, inexpensive. You
have to dig for him. but there Is pure
gold at the end Of the spade. Scatter

good story, 1.-The life of the party"
Rhoads takes 1t for granted that hui
man nature is good. Scattergood knows
more about human beings than that:
RhoadS is always the gentleman and
gentle man. Scattergood can sit up
close to the rough-neck and get" him.
Rhoads Is the thoughtful. Scattergood
is the mechanically gifted, the go-getter.
Scattergood is brilliant mathema.
tician, likes to take a watch apart and
put it together again with his big,
craftful hands: makes his point before
a congressional committee by shipping
bits of paper and showing concretely so
the average mind can understand. He
can encounter opposition robustly.
Rhoads shrinks into himself, showing
neither by word nor by expression that
he suffers. under misrepresentation.
Yet both are dominated in their lives
by q desire for Righteousness and for
contributing to the extent Of their
capacities to human welfare.
Similarly. the backgrounds of their

So the President reached out across

German City Has Two
American Schools

BERLIN-Munich is. as far rs
known. the only metropolis in Germany
that has the singular distinction Of
possessing two American schools-one
being for boys and the other for girls.
American Institute in Munich is the
name of the boys institution and it is
headed by DR.. Franz Anton Pfeiffer,
who is its founder. For years before
the World War the veteran American
educator was principal of the American
school conducted in Munich by Dr. j.
M. Colt and DR.. S. D. Bissel. The idea
of having an American school for boys
in Munich was the fruit of DR.. Pfeif-
fers visit to a number Of colleges and
universities in the United States several
years ago. The girls school is a
branch of Miss Weaver's Indrebrook
School for Girls at Tarrytown-on-
Hudson in New York State. Both
schools are located in magnificent villas
and have large enrollments.

Sooner or later the tourist who is really

turns up in Johannesburg, the most

sphere, and when he does he wants to
learn all about the gold they dig up in
such great quantities from the Wit

panies are ready for him, and trips
down to the depths of Village Deep,
1000 feet below the surface, can always
be arranged. They will even let you
take away as much gold as you like-if
you can carry it-but they take the
precaution of putting it into half-ton

~ ISPLACEMENT OF man power
by machine power is nothing
new under the sun. For years,
- even for centuries, the ques-
ton of what hand labor is to
do when machine labor supplants 1t
constantly has raised its interrogation
mark. In one way the question has
been answered, and in another way it
has not been answered. Certain 1t Is
that the displaced labor generally has

termine definitely into what fields OF
new employment the displaced man has
passed.
