NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, JULY 30, 1917. LIVE DOGS OF WAR GUARD FRONT LINE ‘Canines Valuable in Hearing Steps of Night Raiders (Correspondence of The A Press.) French Front, June —Dog-senti- nels of the French hrmy take their together with their human comrades 1n the camps’ of the second line, where they are relieved for a time from the nerve- racking thunder of the cannon which is their daily lot in the front trenches. ? The A ciated Press correspondent today saw a number of these animals frisking about with their soldier friends in the waters of a canal run- ing through the territory of the ‘Somme whence recently the Germans were driven. The dogs appeared to enjoy their relaxation just as much as the men, with whom they had just marched back from the trenches after a spell of duty lasting twelve days. These dogs, mostly of the sheep- aég species, do most valuable service, at night more especially, in company with the look-outs who have the task of keeping an unfailing guard on the front lines. The dogs have become quite accustomed to the roar and bursting of shells, which, when the animals were first sent to the fight- ing line, caused them to run off with their tails drooping. 2 ,Now when the human sentinels are posted right in face of the enemy the dogs talke up their position quite ndturally®beside them and keep a sharp watch out over “no man’s land.” Their ears perk up at the slightest rustle in the darkness in front, but the dogs do not bark or growl. In- stead they call the attention of the soldler sentry by wagging their tails ahd moving about nervously. On many. occasions they have given notice in this way ‘of an enemy patrol moving about stealthily in front and have per- ceived the approach of raiding parties - of Germans long before their human companions had any idea that any hostile movement was in progress. Dogs Prevented Six Raids. In fact, a considerable part of the Ffench success in beating off German raids has been due to the dog-sentinels’ Rcute vision and hearing. One battalion of the famous Alpine Chasseurs which possesses a number of these animals has, owing to their alertness, been en- abled to prepare timely defence on =ix occasions this month against Ger- man night attacks. When the Ger- mans arrived at the French wire they found the rifle-men waiting for them and they were driven back with heavy losses, while the Chasseurs themselves never lost a man killed. All the soldiers at the front have learned ta have very strong confidence in the instinct of their dog com- panions, who participate in all their pefils and often save them from death or capture. Efforts were made at one time to Associated regular turn of repose ‘“‘rest- 'PERRY ADAIR DRIVING OUT OF SAND Vew York, July 30.—: s Adair is-| the Red Cross tournaments at Engle- Deweror 3 Lersy 81 wooa and Baltusrol.

The experiment, however, was not en- tirely successful, as sometimes two French patrols would meet and the dogs accompanying one party would attack the men composing the other. If the same men always went out on patrol duty it would be different, as the dogs would learn to recognize them even in the dark, but this is not possible, The dogs are placed on the regiment- al rosters in the same way as the poldiers and they also draw regular rasions. In the front trenches they share with the soldiers all the dis- coniforts of underground life, and when the men are relieved they go with them to enjoy the comforts of cantonments, Then they are cleanly housed in kennels, are washed and brushed and regularly fed, and they are at all times petted by the men, who regard them as true comrades. The -utilization of dogs for war work Is extending daily, and those animals found unsuitable for active service at the front are proving of practical use In the guirding of munition works and other depots in the rear. \We want you to have the for your benefit. to make sure that it is de livered to you we have ar- ranged with the WESTE RN UNION to have a mes- senger boy rush a copy toyour home.
