Huge dogs are chosen, and every day they are shown soldiers in German uniform and excited to fly at the pseudo enemies, being meanwhile kept in by a strong chain. This lesson learned, the dogs are taken to the outposts, each attached to a sentinel, when presently a sham German saunters by. The dogs fly after him with such zeal that as a rule the soldier has to make for the nearest tree. One difficulty perplexes the authorities—the sporting dogs will neglect their man hunting duties if they get scent of any more legitimate game, such as a partridge or a rabbit.
