most of the papers read at the meeting of the American Gas Insti- tute relate to technical some ef them bate dealt rankly with the rela- tions of the people tt public cor TOratkms President Clarke and one or two others admonished the public that the corporations should be fairly treated that they are entitled to It fair return on the money invested and that If they are not prosperous the communities where they are located will suffer With those propositions we are in hearty agreement Another aspect of the case equally de- serving consideration was neatly pre- sented by Charles H Dickey of Balti more In his address on the obligations imposed by the possession of a franchise Among these obligations Mr Dickey mentioned the duty of using the fran- chise properly and treating the people justly Another is that of pursuing a fair and frank policy toward the press The corporation said Mr Dickey should keep itself clean and above suspicion It should be free from graIL It should not grant special favors of any sort to of the government And flashy Mr Dickey offered this pertinent advice The ewparattMS ohauM not fatomae i kgUa toe ad if they do sot there m U be M kgiaU mosey

to tin people ta Uw state If this sound advice had always been followed by public service and other cor- porations perhaps there would have been vastly less of the political demagogy and anticorporation hysteria of which Presi- dent Clarke saw fit to complain It Js because the corporations many of them have forgotten or ignored their to the people that the widespread demand for more stringent public regula- tion has sprung demand that some times we regret to say ignores the ob- ligation of the public to the public service corporations recog nize the just obligations imposed by their franchises and they will have no quar rel with the people Let their conduct be fair and aboveboard their reports honest complete and comprehensible The time has gone by as one of the speakers at the gas institute meeting said when secrecy can be depended on even to serve the purposes of the cor- poration Its best defense against mis- representation is publicity of the facts Suspicion is aroused by concealment and injustice may be done through ignorance- of th truth about corporate affairs that might be averted if the truth were known At least the President may depend upon the stanch support oC Senator Poraker in effort to prevent a Roosevelt slant pede in the next Republican convention An Economic Dcfcnse of the Millionaire Chancellor Andrews of the University of Nebraska offered a defense of the mil- lionaire in his address at the fall con- vocation of George Washington Univer- sity that contrasts strongly with the popular view of the legitimacy of swollen fortunes Mr Bryan has recently ex- pressed doubt whether anybody could gain a million dollars honestly and the popular idea is that all great wealth te obtained by despoiling somebody Chan- cellor Andrews declared this view fal- lacious from an economic standpoint Wealth he argued is gained by serving the community not by robbing it anti a mans wealth is a measure of his superior genius and industry He made no apol- ogy of course for the corrupt practices of rich men his plea being for better understanding of the true function of the man of wealth in our modern industrial society Dr Andrews made much of the point that ownership of the countrys wealth is of lees importance than what use is made of It Wealth Invested in productive en- terprises Is beneficial to the people at large and as Dr Andrews said it is of oo advantage to the owner unless it Is so invested Thus the immense accumu- lations of wealth which are regarded by some as a menace to society are unme poet Me nth lHJ bwt seks Jt a oWed 01 oar

¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ jdiatfcly put to work to supply social Thatvtho ooncoatration of wealth te not necessarily detrimental to the social good Dr Andrews thought was illustrated in the socialistic idea that the state as supreme owner of alt Industrial enterprises could supply alt the material wants of the community The socialists he said are right In thinking the title to wealth could be centered in the state without hurt to the Individual although he bad no faith in the productive ca- pacity of the socialistic system The productive millionaires are there fore functionaries of the social system Their genius for organization their enter- prise their sagacity and foresight even their greed are at the service of the man for they are engaged In sup- plying his multifarious wants Their great fortunes are the reward of their great services but a fast a accumu lated the wealth created by their enter- prises ig reinvested and made to yield yet more wealth thus sustaining our abound- ing material prosperity Dr Andrews views present a conception of the social order reminding us strongly of what one socialistic writer has cleverly termed be- nevolent feudalism There is no ques- tion however that It the millionaire is to be tolerated it must be on condition that he realize social obligations and a valuable service to the com- munity That many oC them do this we readily admit Mr requested that no wines or liquors bo served at banquets tendered klan In Manila We shall decline to be- lieve the worst however until Informed that ha requested buttermilk substituted instead As to Newspaper English The writer who in the October number of the University Magazine criticises the American newspaper prom because of its alleged overuse of stock words and phrases is not sustained by the facts Not only do wo seldom see nowadays such expressions as yellow metal Aery element palatial hostelries speckled beauties nnny tribe Ac to which the writer in question refers but those other old standbys of a few y ars ago the lire huddles responded promptly great excitement prevails and if caught he will be lynched are almost never observed in the columns of any city newspaper and seldom in the published in the smaller towns If they do appear in a newspaper known- to be carefully edited ordinarily one may be certain that they are used ironically or that the fifth assistant city or tele- graph editor has been on the desk and tiu t aU the copy readers are ia love or in debt or In some otter trouble that jnakes it impossible for them to keep their minds on their work Even tht rawest of cub reporters soon learns to avoid such bromides as those mentioned Indeed instructions on that point are usually among the first given him Con- sidering the remarkable pace that must be maintained in daily newspaper omces we think we are justified In saying that America has a right to be proud gf the quality of the English employed by her representative publication of that class We believe that in this respectas in all others the United States press will com- pare most favorably with the foremost dally Journals of England or for that matter with many of the popular mag- azines and books of the present day in the making of which there is no necessity for hurry We have just finished rending a novel by a wellknown author in prac- tically every chapter of which arv te be found such crimes as to always to say nothing of other lapses As contrasted with this we may say that not one of the highbrowed reporters of our acquaintance would stoop to the perpetration of split Infinitive more than once or twice a month and then only for the purpose of attempting to get something on thecopy readers There is as little justice in most of the criticism of newspaper headlines as lit the University Magazine writers animad- versions Some time ago a valued sub- scriber communicated to The Herald his dissatisfaction with the use in captions of the word probe for investigation and with other simi- lar perversions He overlooked the that newspaper type is made of metal not rubber and that only a limited number of letters and Spaces can be placed in the width of a single column This obviously makes the selection of short words absolutely necessary hence keymen for telegraph operators and other contractions equally as bad We shall not comment on the

recorded Beauty and Brains We are somewhat surprised that so levelheaded a newspaper as the Rich- mond TimesDispatch should subscribe without question to the theory set up by a London physician that the prettiest women are invariably the stupidest- Is there anything at all in this con- ception that looks in ladles do not go hand in hand with intellect in quires our contemporary and then SLH swore Itself by adding Most people will agree that there is It Is all but Impossible to discuss in- telligently such a proposition Beauty and intellect especially when used in connection with each other are purely relative terms The woman who is sur- passingly fair to one may be very com- monplace to another the brilliant in- tellect attaching to and appertaining to any woman is attractive purely according- to the light in which she is viewed V ho shall set a standard of beauty universal in its scope Who shall prescribe a quali ty of intelligence satisfying to everybody Who Is pretty and who

novelist of Omaha who has made a good deal of money out of his books was not always able to make a living by his For some time about fifteen years ago he would havo been glad to get manual labor of any kind as a temporary vocation It was on the Pacific Coast at Los Angeles at a time when the Los Angeles boom collapsed Lighten was working on a daily paper He received good wages and he spent It all Al of a sudden without warning he with many others found himself out of employment When LJgh tons money gave out ho sought work of any kind but hundreds were doing the same thing Food brought high

Cannier They are said to be distinguished above all other radians for their wisdom in weather lore One of the red men in conversing with a white passenger said that the Indians along the coast expected a very severe winter and had already begun to make preparations to secure themselves against the cold Forest ani particularly the common wolf they say are growing longer hair than usual and they declare that nature never fails to provide long in advance for whatever she has in store for the animate The fact of the wolves growing heavier coats than usual the Indians say te a sure sign that the winter te to be very cold bat besides the testimony of the animate the Indians declare that they liars read In signs and warnings from the moon tes- timony concerning the winter Brigadier General Godfrey Brig Gen Godfrey who retired the other day has the distinction of being one of the last of the highcommissioned omcers who saw service in the civil war He served as a private in the Twenty first Ohio Infantry before he was a cadet at West Point whence be graduated in 1817 Gen Godfrey won the medal of honor for distinguished gallantry of action against the Nes- Perces Indians at Bear Paw Mountain Montana September 30 1877 leading his command in action when he wa severely wounded He served at the battle of Wounded Knee and it charged against him that be permitted the killing of women and children unnecessarily He was vigorously defended against this charge by his friends notable among whom to Gsa Bell who also participated in the engagement In a railroad acci dent just after the battle of Wounded Knee Gen Godfrey was so badly injured that he had to go to the hospital but he was out again In time to participate to the campaign in which Gen Custer was killed and i the

Wild PiKcon Coming Back The announcement that a flock of wild pigeons veotimated at 10W birds are nest lag In Sullivan County New York proves that this bird once so numerous te not extinct a ha bees popularly supposed Thirty years ago wild pigeons were to be seen by the million in Potter Elk War- ren McKean and Cameron counties New York In Potter and McKean counties was one of the largest nesting grounds In North America Their roosts were from four to 3ve miles long and from one to three miles wide and their numbers no man could count No other birds were ever known to migrate in such num- bers These pigeons swept across the sky in such masses that it is not exaggeration to say that they often obscured sun Hunters were permit- ted to shoot and net them on their nesting grounds so that the slaughter was ter- rific In one day in 1851 the American Ex- press Company carried from the northern tier of Pennsylvania and the southern tier of New York over the Erie Railway seven tons of pigeons to the city market and in one season the total aggregated fiftysix tons Hunters shot them by the barrel on their nesting grounds until they got tiredof picking up the game Pigeon potpie a great native delicacy palled on the taste After the pigeons were prac- tically exterminated the law stepped In to protect them and now that the birds are coming back again it te thought It the laws are properly enforced there may soon be great hocks again The Largest Truck The lArgest and most pewsrfql truck rolled into New York City the other day It has the strength to oarry m tons 208000 pounds sad prior to the cre- ation of this monster the largest truck could only carry 129609 pounds The building of the Pennsylvania terminal fathered the thought of this truck which te called The Whale The immense girders and columns that are to be used In the construction of the station could not be handled without this truck for some of tho girders weigh ninety tons and will have te be hauled from West Thirtyeighth street and North River to the terminal The owners of the Whale say that for every ton of steel loaded on to the truck one horse will be attached therefore to haul a nicety ton girder will require fortyfive teams The truck itself weighs eighteen tons and It took six months to build it over In Brooklyn It is made mostly of steel wood being used only for the upper rests and for the pole

her voice and she intends to spend a good deal of it In aid of musical art She has developed plans for a sort of Amer- ican Bayreuth and proposes to build on the banks of the Hudson an opera house like those at Bayrouth and Munich only larger and better She will not only put her own funds into it but she has suc- ceeded in interesting a number of rich music lovers in the project The stage Is to be a revolving one so that Wagner and Shakespeare may be performed with out unnecessary watts between the scenes The foyer of the place is to be an exhibition room for painters and sculp tors In connection with her plans she proposes to establish a great opera school where girls may learn to sing If it is found that they have abilities that will warrant they will be aided to go abroad to

Illuminating Engineer Unquestionably gas lighting is being driven to the wall Jn this country by the electric light The reason for this must be sought In the conditions at present govern the financial world rather than In the relative merits of gas and electric illumination As a lumlnant gas more than holds its own In Great Britain and France and is fully holding own in other parts of Europe and this cannot be attributed to any lack of appreciation of good illumination on the part of Europeans The simple fact Is that In this country we have fulfilled al- most to the limit the truth so admirably expressed by the great English engineer Stevenson that where combination is possible competition is Impossible Cer- tainly nothing is more possible than the combination of gas and electric Inter- ests and whore this combination has taken place economic conditions favor the largest possible use of electric cur- rent for lighting with a corresponding diminution in the use of gas lighting The average American Is too busy to argue and Investigate minor matters and In such cases takes what is offered him especially if it has the advantage of requiring less personal care and atten- tion and with the advantage of venienee which the electric light unde- niably possesses skillfully presented and the advantage of cheapness possessed by gas passed over In silence the ac- ceptance of the newer luminant Is a foregone conclusion The advantage of cheapness however is one that cannot be wholly dammed even by the falntst praise and notwithstanding the recent remarkable improvements In efficiency in electric lamps this advantage with gas seems likely to continue even if In a somewhat marked degree REMODELING THE HOUSE Mr Bontells Plan for Removing Desks Commended Pant the New York Tribune The disappearance of the desks would under conditions work little hard ship They served a good purpose years ago when there were only a few com- mittee rooms accessible to members ana when writing had actually to be done in the chamber But now that every mem- ber has an office room and a clerk and correspondence is done by dictation the desks are a belated survival The hall of the House has come to be used for speak- ing and voting and members engaged In personal worts or simply fitting in the time can use their own or the lobbies to better advar ge It would add to the smoothness courtly and practical usefulness of debate if the members par- ticipating in it were able to sit near to- gether on the front benches Instead of trumpeting across space and there would be less temptation than soot to Indulge- in long stump speeches having little or no relation to the subject in hand The House has suffered a good deal In re- cent years from the superficiality and crudeness of its tons of pending legislation Any experiment which prom- ises to make debate more pertinent in- forming and interesting ought to be heartily welcomed POLICE DOGS AT ANTWERP Experiments Do Xot Prove So Suc- cessful as at Ghent Pam UM Oasprtar Smart A report from Consul General H W Dfedrlch states that for some time the Antwerp police have bees experimenting with dogs as assistants to the sight watch service lit the isolated sections of the Antwerp docks with the following results The experiments Raw proved negative and at one tune it was even proposed to give up the kennels altogether The city police have seven dogs known as the Belgian shepherd dog which are trained to took upon men in uniform as then only friends syspecting all others and more particularly a man lying down At night the seven dogs alt muzzled are given to seven policemen who conduct them by a strap only letting theta loose when wishing to pursue an evildoer dis- covered redhanded It is owing to the docks and basins being in thickly popu- lated sections of the city and to the further fact that work on the vessels goes on throughout the night that the dogs have thus to be restrained in thetr movements and their usefulness thus to minimum Furthermore one policeman hiss to be detached from the night service for every dog whereas were It possible to allow the animals to run free one officer wpuld be sufficient to patrol with two or even three dogs The result of the experiment has been that police dogs no matter how well trained ara of no practical use hi thick- ly populated quarters but their real value in such service has been shown in rural districts where a night watchman- all alone and unaided frequently has to patrol a territory covering miles of sparsely settled country Such is the case at Ghent where the same breed of dogs te used by the rural night watch men to great advantage There the ani- mate are unmuzaled and unrestrained The experience in training shows that while the dogs may be taught to be sus- picious of every person not in uniform or of a man lying down or in a crouching position it is impossible to make him distinguish between an honest man and- a vagabond The dogs used may be purchased at prices ranging from 56 to 10 and keep amounts to 1K per month The Belgian shepherd dog is chosen for this service for his keen scent for the facility with which he is trained and for the faithfulness to his master which makes him practically a onefriend and an uncompromising foe to every other human being Outside View of n Local Controversy Fran UM IkooWjm Eagle

Good Advice to CorporationsAlthough most of the papers read at

the meeting of the American Gas Insti-tute relate to technical some efthem bate dealt rankly with the rela-tions of the people tt public corTOratkms President Clarke and one ortwo others admonished the public thatthe corporations should be fairly treatedthat they are entitled to It fair return onthe money invested and that If they arenot prosperous the communities wherethey are located will suffer With thosepropositions we are in hearty agreementAnother aspect of the case equally de-serving consideration was neatly pre-sented by Charles H Dickey of Baltimore In his address on the obligationsimposed by the possession of a franchiseAmong these obligations Mr Dickeymentioned the duty of using the fran-chise properly and treating the peoplejustly Another is that of pursuing afair and frank policy toward the pressThe corporation said Mr Dickey shouldkeep itself clean and above suspicion Itshould be free from graIL It should notgrant special favors of any sort to

of the government And flashyMr Dickey offered this pertinent advice

If this sound advice had always beenfollowed by public service and other cor-porations perhaps there would have beenvastly less of the political demagogy andanticorporation hysteria of which Presi-dent Clarke saw fit to complain It Jsbecause the corporations many of themhave forgotten or ignored their

to the people that the widespreaddemand for more stringent public regula-tion has sprung demand that sometimes we regret to say ignores the ob-ligation of the public to the

public service corporations recognize the just obligations imposed by theirfranchises and they will have no quarrel with the people Let their conductbe fair and aboveboard their reportshonest complete and comprehensibleThe time has gone by as one of thespeakers at the gas institute meetingsaid when secrecy can be depended oneven to serve the purposes of the cor-poration Its best defense against mis-representation is publicity of the factsSuspicion is aroused by concealment andinjustice may be done through ignorance-of th truth about corporate affairs thatmight be averted if the truth wereknown

An Economic Dcfcnse of the MillionaireChancellor Andrews of the University

of Nebraska offered a defense of the mil-lionaire in his address at the fall con-vocation of George Washington Univer-sity that contrasts strongly with thepopular view of the legitimacy of swollenfortunes Mr Bryan has recently ex-pressed doubt whether anybody couldgain a million dollars honestly and thepopular idea is that all great wealth teobtained by despoiling somebody Chan-cellor Andrews declared this view fal-lacious from an economic standpointWealth he argued is gained by servingthe community not by robbing it anti amans wealth is a measure of his superiorgenius and industry He made no apol-ogy of course for the corrupt practicesof rich men his plea being for betterunderstanding of the true function of theman of wealth in our modern industrialsociety

Dr Andrews made much of the pointthat ownership of the countrys wealth isof lees importance than what use is madeof It Wealth Invested in productive en-

terprises Is beneficial to the people atlarge and as Dr Andrews said it is ofoo advantage to the owner unless it Isso invested Thus the immense accumu-lations of wealth which are regarded bysome as a menace to society are unme

jdiatfcly put to work to supply socialThatvtho ooncoatration of wealth

te not necessarily detrimental to thesocial good Dr Andrews thought wasillustrated in the socialistic idea that thestate as supreme owner of alt Industrialenterprises could supply alt the materialwants of the community The socialistshe said are right In thinking the title towealth could be centered in the statewithout hurt to the Individual althoughhe bad no faith in the productive ca-

pacity of the socialistic systemThe productive millionaires are there

fore functionaries of the social systemTheir genius for organization their enter-prise their sagacity and foresight eventheir greed are at the service of the

man for they are engaged In sup-plying his multifarious wants Theirgreat fortunes are the reward of theirgreat services but a fast a accumulated the wealth created by their enter-prises ig reinvested and made to yield yetmore wealth thus sustaining our abound-ing material prosperity Dr Andrewsviews present a conception of the socialorder reminding us strongly of what onesocialistic writer has cleverly termed be-

nevolent feudalism There is no ques-

tion however that It the millionaire isto be tolerated it must be on conditionthat he realize social obligations and

As to Newspaper EnglishThe writer who in the October number

of the University Magazine criticises theAmerican newspaper prom because of itsalleged overuse of stock words andphrases is not sustained by the factsNot only do wo seldom see nowadayssuch expressions as yellow metal Aeryelement palatial hostelries speckledbeauties nnny tribe Ac to whichthe writer in question refers but thoseother old standbys of a few y ars ago

the lire huddles responded promptlygreat excitement prevails and if

caught he will be lynched are almostnever observed in the columns of anycity newspaper and seldom in the

published in the smaller towns Ifthey do appear in a newspaper known-to be carefully edited ordinarily one maybe certain that they are used ironicallyor that the fifth assistant city or tele-graph editor has been on the deskand tiu t aU the copy readers are ia loveor in debt or In some otter trouble thatjnakes it impossible for them to keeptheir minds on their work Even thtrawest of cub reporters soon learns toavoid such bromides as those mentionedIndeed instructions on that point areusually among the first given him Con-

sidering the remarkable pace that mustbe maintained in daily newspaper omceswe think we are justified In saying thatAmerica has a right to be proud gf thequality of the English employed by herrepresentative publication of that classWe believe that in this respectas in allothers the United States press will com-pare most favorably with the foremostdally Journals of England or for thatmatter with many of the popular mag-azines and books of the present day inthe making of which there is no necessityfor hurry We have just finished rendinga novel by a wellknown author in prac-tically every chapter of which arv te befound such crimes as to always

to say nothing of other lapses Ascontrasted with this we may say thatnot one of the highbrowed reporters ofour acquaintance would stoop to theperpetration of split Infinitive morethan once or twice a month and thenonly for the purpose of attempting toget something on thecopy readersThere is as little justice in most of the

criticism of newspaper headlines as litthe University Magazine writers animad-versions Some time ago a valued sub-scriber communicated to The

Herald his dissatisfaction with theuse in captions of the word probefor investigation and with other simi-lar perversions He overlooked the

that newspaper type is madeof metal not rubber and that only alimited number of letters and Spaces canbe placed in the width of a single columnThis obviously makes the selection ofshort words absolutely necessary hence

An embezzler comes forward with theunique plea that he never would havestolen the money had not Mr Boonevelts pernicious activities depressed thestocks in which he had been speculatingNow if the President can find some wayto unload this on Loeb it will be thefinest example of shifting the blame everrecorded

Beauty and BrainsWe are somewhat surprised that so

levelheaded a newspaper as the Rich-mond TimesDispatch should subscribewithout question to the theory set upby a London physician that the prettiestwomen are invariably the stupidest-

Is there anything at all in this con-ception that looks in ladles do notgo hand in hand with intellect inquires our contemporary and then SLH

swore Itself by adding Most people willagree that there is

It Is all but Impossible to discuss in-telligently such a proposition Beautyand intellect especially when used inconnection with each other are purelyrelative terms The woman who is sur-passingly fair to one may be very com-

monplace to another the brilliant in-

tellect attaching to and appertaining toany woman is attractive purely according-to the light in which she is viewed V hoshall set a standard of beauty universalin its scope Who shall prescribe a quality of intelligence satisfying to everybodyWho Is pretty and who is smart andwho guarantees the answer

GAS AND ELECTRICITY

Combination Driving Out Competi-tion Between the Two

From tha Illuminating EngineerUnquestionably gas lighting is being

driven to the wall Jn this country bythe electric light The reason for thismust be sought In the conditionsat present govern the financial worldrather than In the relative merits of gasand electric illumination As a lumlnantgas more than holds its own In GreatBritain and France and is fully holding

own in other parts of Europe andthis cannot be attributed to any lack ofappreciation of good illumination on thepart of Europeans The simple fact Isthat In this country we have fulfilled al-most to the limit the truth so admirablyexpressed by the great English engineerStevenson that where combination ispossible competition is Impossible Cer-tainly nothing is more possible than thecombination of gas and electric Inter-ests and whore this combination hastaken place economic conditions favorthe largest possible use of electric cur-rent for lighting with a correspondingdiminution in the use of gas lighting

The average American Is too busy toargue and Investigate minor mattersand In such cases takes what is offeredhim especially if it has the advantage ofrequiring less personal care and atten-tion and with the advantage ofvenienee which the electric light unde-niably possesses skillfully presented andthe advantage of cheapness possessed bygas passed over In silence the ac-ceptance of the newer luminant Is aforegone conclusion The advantage ofcheapness however is one that cannotbe wholly dammed even by the falntstpraise and notwithstanding the recentremarkable improvements In efficiency inelectric lamps this advantage with gasseems likely to continue even if In asomewhat marked degree

REMODELING THE HOUSE

Mr Bontells Plan for RemovingDesks Commended

Pant the New York TribuneThe disappearance of the desks would

under conditions work little hardship They served a good purpose yearsago when there were only a few com-mittee rooms accessible to members anawhen writing had actually to be done inthe chamber But now that every mem-ber has an office room and a clerk andcorrespondence is done by dictation thedesks are a belated survival The hall ofthe House has come to be used for speak-ing and voting and members engaged Inpersonal worts or simply fitting in thetime can use their own or thelobbies to better advar ge It would addto the smoothness courtly and practicalusefulness of debate if the members par-ticipating in it were able to sit near to-gether on the front benches Instead oftrumpeting across space and there wouldbe less temptation than soot to Indulge-in long stump speeches having little orno relation to the subject in hand TheHouse has suffered a good deal In re-cent years from the superficiality andcrudeness of its tons of pendinglegislation Any experiment which prom-ises to make debate more pertinent in-

forming and interesting ought to beheartily welcomed

POLICE DOGS AT ANTWERP

Experiments Do Xot Prove So Suc-

cessful as at GhentPam UM Oasprtar Smart

A report from Consul General H WDfedrlch states that for some time theAntwerp police have bees experimentingwith dogs as assistants to the sightwatch service lit the isolated sections ofthe Antwerp docks with the followingresults

The experiments Raw proved negativeand at one tune it was even proposedto give up the kennels altogether Thecity police have seven dogs known as theBelgian shepherd dog which are trainedto took upon men in uniform as thenonly friends syspecting all others andmore particularly a man lying down Atnight the seven dogs alt muzzled aregiven to seven policemen who conductthem by a strap only letting theta loosewhen wishing to pursue an evildoer dis-

covered redhanded It is owing to thedocks and basins being in thickly popu-

lated sections of the city and to thefurther fact that work on the vesselsgoes on throughout the night that thedogs have thus to be restrained in thetrmovements and their usefulness thus

to minimum Furthermore onepoliceman hiss to be detached from thenight service for every dog whereas wereIt possible to allow the animals to runfree one officer wpuld be sufficient topatrol with two or even three dogs

The result of the experiment has beenthat police dogs no matter how welltrained ara of no practical use hi thick-ly populated quarters but their realvalue in such service has been shown inrural districts where a night watchman-all alone and unaided frequently has topatrol a territory covering miles ofsparsely settled country Such is thecase at Ghent where the same breed ofdogs te used by the rural night watchmen to great advantage There the ani-

mate are unmuzaled and unrestrainedThe experience in training shows thatwhile the dogs may be taught to be sus-picious of every person not in uniform orof a man lying down or in a crouchingposition it is impossible to make himdistinguish between an honest man and-a vagabond

The dogs used may be purchased atprices ranging from 56 to 10 andkeep amounts to 1K per month TheBelgian shepherd dog is chosen for thisservice for his keen scent for the facilitywith which he is trained and for thefaithfulness to his master which makeshim practically a onefriend andan uncompromising foe to every otherhuman being
