CARRY ORDERS TO TROOPS
For Every Dog Who Dies on Field of
Honor, France Considers It . Hat
Saved the Life of a Soldier Messen.
, fler Dogs Are Carefully Trained
for Their Useful and Dangerous
Duties. ,
The dog pounds of France nro con
tributing mi element In I lie (loudly
trench warfare that Is old as conillct
and, nt the mum; time, modern In its
conception nud achievement.
Every dog. pound In the republic Is
contributing every ciiuine It picks up,
and numerous breeding societies are.
furnishing regular quotas, but still
dogs are needed to fill u very grcnl
and growing need.
So many diverse duties have been
developed for dogs In this war that
practically every canine, provided be
Is Intelligent enough to be trained,
can be utilized.
A dog kennel largo enough for
training hundreds of dogs is a regu
lar part of the equipment of every
French army now. It turns out
trained animals for front service.
Originally dogs were used for Just
two purposes carrying aid to the
wounded and accompanying patrols to
"scent out" the enemy. The Belgians
have always had a third duly that of
training dogs to draw machine guns.
. But the highly specialized art of
war today has resulted In amplification
of these duties. Two of the most im
portant roles now played by canines
"llnson" work and sentinel service
can bo said to have attained supreme
Importance.
Play Useful Part.
"Llason" dogs have the most dan
gerous and the most useful parts to
piny. They cany messages between
attacking troops nud batteries to (he
rear, which shield the troops by bar
rage fire. The Intensity of enem.v
counter-barrages to prevent this kills
hundreds of . dogs, but still many
trained unlmnls slip through. For
every dog who dies on the Held of
honor Franco considers it has saved
the life of the soldier messenger, who
otherwise would have to do the work.
Many dogs who fall to show apti
tude for "liason" work develop into
excellent sentinels. Those particular
ly fitted for this work take their
place at the top of the trench along
side the gun barrel of their master
and detect every patrol or c'ery In
dividual soldier that attempts passage?
of the barbed wire entanglements
ahead. i
Dogs are still trained and used to
carry old to the wounded. One vet
eran Dick who has been officially
decorated with the War Cross for
bravery at Verdun, where his master
was killed nnd the dog himself seri
ously wonnded, has just gone back Into
active service, attached to a section
of what was formerly Ihe American
ambulance.
Are Carefully Trained.
The dogs undergo first of all an ex
amination before a special Jury betore
being accepted. The dogs, whi n ac
cepted, are placed in centers of In
struction, preparation and training.
There they urc entrusted to experi
enced trainers, who make them famil
iar wllh their position as soldiers, nnd
courage, discipline, snuglrold, prudence
' and dispatch are taught them. It Is
only after n fairly long course In these
schools that the dogs are sent to tin!
front nnd start their service. t
In the Vosges, in Lorraine nnd In
Alsace the dogs often work with trans
port nnd carriage of provisions, har
nessed to vehicles spot-hilly construct
ed for the purpose. The dogs like, Ibis
work, which they cany out with rapid
ity nnd energy.
The dogs attached ns guards to
depots of anas and munitions are per
fect and trustworthy guides, swift In
uttuck ami defense. As lo rat catchers,
these, like the sentinels, are the best
friends of the I'ollu. living with him,
faithful, Intelligent, affectionate com
panions, the soldier true friend.
Their watchfulness" enables him lo
sleep. : '
Ambulance dogs are required to dis
cover the wounded and to go and find
the ambulances. The dogs carry to
the latter the cap of the wounded man
or some object Indicating the unit to
which he belonged. Other dogs, differ
ently trained, call ambulances to the
wounded by means of prearranged
cries. All these dogs-ourry a little
wallet containing n flask and various
rough dressings for first aid. They are
accustomed to cover all sorts of coun
try, to clear all obstacles anil to have
no fear of cannon or shell fire.
Proved Their Value.
They have proved themselves valu
able since the declaration of war and
for three years they have carried out
their laborious and perilous work with
the ambulances to which they are at
tached 111 the most heavily bombarded
districts.
Dogs, as n rule, show great distress
when shells burst nuar them ami howl
The Red Cross
Tbo Honor Guard girls held the at
tention of an. audience of Iittlo loss
than GOO people at the high school
auditorium last night. The play
was given for the benefit of the Ar
menian relief fund and with an ad
mission of fifty cents each this will
make quite a swelling In the fund to
be turned In.
Outside of the play being a sort
of a donation it certainly was worth
the money to all who saw it. Mr.
King gave a short talk at the begin
ning and announced the Red Cross
concert to bo held at the L. D. S.
Tabernacle Monday uvenlng, Feb. 4.
The orchestra selection was well
played under the direction of Miss
Gladys Black. The girls were all
dressed' In men's costumes. A roll
ing pin, a funnel, a teapot, an egg
beater, a fire hose and a music rack
were the musical instruments with
which the audience was fascinated.
. Despite the instruments used the
music that came from them would
have done credit to many a profes
sional orchestra. The meinbors are
Gladys Black, director, Lois Given,
Irene O'Conncll, Thelma Oestorllng,
Helen Sims, Stella Desllot, Jean
etto Stoddard.
In the second play, "Mrs. Oakley's
Telephone," Naomi Williamson made
a perfect Irish cook and managed
to get everything twisted but which
did not have the unhappy ending as
it might have, as it was owing to
her mistake that Ethclyn Fitzgerald,
taking the part of Constance, the
friend of Mrs. Oakley, was brought
In touch with her old Bweotheart
from whom she had Been separated
owing to some misunderstanding.
Stella Desllet, taking the part of
Emma, the maid, was an excellent
laugh maker as a side comedy in
her anxiety for hor sweetheart, Olaf.
Miss Loah Snnford took the part of
Mrs. Oakloy, a brido, very clcvorly.
Tho "Honorifaltuballtos," in which
four girls, Lavlna Walgamood, Vlo
lctta Fitzgerald, Louise O'Conncll
and Lorono Smith originated some
strikingly original limericks about
tho school teachors and business men
of La Grande. Tho girls wore con
tinued so ns to appear about three
feet tall and gave rather a grotesque,
appearance.
"A Laundry Queen," in which Miss
Florence Lynch took tho loading part
as tho work houso girl, 1b an excell
ent portrnynl of the inner life of an
old fashioned laundry. Miss Lynch
is chic and a charming comcdiennno.
Audmor Playle was the handsome
knight, for whom the work houso
girl had spent her nights dreaming.
Carolyn Palmer, Holen Sims, Mar
cella Berry and Jeanctte Stoddard
comprised tho rest of the clever cast.
Tho aesthetic dance by Miss I.eona
Newlln was certainly a credit to local
talent. The two numbers were en
titled: "Stephanlo Gavot.v and "Tho
Secret."
The director of tho or.tertalniuont
was Naomi Williamson; manager,
Ethelyn Fitzgerald, and property
uinnnger, Iva Wilson.
Tho Honor Guard Girl's play was
a great success In every way and
there was not a person in the aud
ience who left unsatisfied. The Hon
or Guard Girls are going to hold a
rally meeting next Thursday even
ing to which all patriotic girls urc
Invited to attend.
