mud but the coats had the sparkle and
vibrancy that only regular grooming
gives. According to the officer IN
charge, the percentage of illness has
been negligible. Some of the dogs may
refuse to eat for a day or two when
they first arrive.
If they arrive on a eight" day, they
are generally hand fed, course which
seldom fails. If they arrive on
heavy day, like the day we called,
they miss a meal, which seldom hurts
them Soon they are enjoying their

meat Any food left in the dog pans is
carefully collected in large drums and
fed to the many hogs which are raised
on the post. Most of the dogs, however,
lick their platters clean.
Dogs are now being trained at Front
Royal for just two types Of duty, mes
senger dogs and sentry dogs. However,
the training for these duties must be
preceded by regular obedience training.
The whole course takes an average of

FRONT ROYAL, Waive left Falls
Church, Va, about 9 o'clock Friday
morning with four dogs that were con-
signed to the Remount Station al Front
Royal. Instead of going directly to Front
Royal, we headed for Orange where we
were to meet the Misses Judith and Julia
Shearer. The latter is Regional Director
for Dogs for Defense.
Since 16 dogs we're scheduled to go
down in that days order, they planned
to take half that number in their station
wagon while we took half in ours We
started with two collies from Beech
Tree Farm, collie donated by Mrs. Basil
de Lashmutt and a Doberman Pinscher
donated by Rembert G. Allen
At Meander Farm, the Shearers beau
tiful old estate, we picked up cross
bred shepherd a German short-hair
pointer and another Doberman Pinscher.
In their car they had several Dober-
mans, several shepherds and pointer.
Their dogs rode loose in the car.
Four of ours rode in crates. the balance
were loose. Neither car had to slow up
at any time because of misbehaving
dogs Although these dogs were all un-
trained. they seemed to sense they must
be on their good behavior.
From Orange, we cut across country
through some of the most delightful
scenery of the Old Dominion, climbing
almost steadily until we reached Front
Royal Remount Station, camp which
looks as if it must surely have been pat
termed after the story-book descriptions
of English encampments in the foot hills
of India. Cream-colored stucco build
ings topped with bright red roofs, green
lawns, and rugged hills combined to
make most attractive vista. Unfor-
tunately the red-topped buildings were
pre-empted long before dogs became
part of the Remount Station Their
pristine beauty belonged to the personnel
of the camp and the horses for which
this camp is famous.

dogs, and still serving as the receiving

so the quick-thinking skipper of the
PIT boat, knowing the exact location of
his next teammate, permitted himself
to be chased by the destroyer in the. .d-

says, lis a good sailor, particularly when
he maneuvers under cover of darkness.
His equipment is not as good quality as
ours, but is ample and I have never seen
any signs of shortage.'
The naval officer believes the greatest
service we rendered with the PIT boats
was to relieve the pressure on the ma

Montgomery, Warrenton, Va, native,
was graduated from Annapolis in 1927,
and was transferred from a destroyer to
command the motor torpedo boat squad

a year ago.
For active training with the torpedo
craft, he was assigned to Panama and
then into the Southwest Pacific.
He likens team play of the PIT boat
squadrons to the well-drilled work of
football.

then on, the boats depend on their team
