Remarkable Feats That Trained Devi

The Germans entered the war with

time of war- as they dragged their
milk wagons in time of peace. It was
not long before both Belgians and
French had established a' dog service
in the army quite equal to that of the
dewlaps.
Some of the things t• he . dogs have
been tautlit to do remain almost mir-,
aculous even to those who are not al-
together ignorant of the brain -power
that may be developed in a dog. For
instance a dog at a listening post,
whose business it is to give warning
of the approach of an enemy, has been
taught to do so not by barking or even
by growling, but merely by pricking
his ears or sciatching on the ground.
He had been titaght to cross ground
