I (Philadelphia North American.) With the adoption of an Knglfc bull dog named "Hilly" by the sixl infantry company at the otticer training camp at Fort Niagara, tl first "dog of war" has become a pal of the American army and bids fa to be quite as famous as was th? other bulldog named Hilly, who wj the mascot of the English regimen the Second Itoyal rifles, during tt Moer war, and to whom the soldiei attributed many of their victories, In the trenches of France canir mascots are the rule rather than th exception, and more than one c them has met death 011 the batth Held. "Sandy," the former masct of the royal engineers, made himse famous accompanying the men in charge and gallantly biting the le? of the enemy, while "Hruce," large canine mastiff, another mas cot of the British engineers, wh was killed 011 the battlefield durin tne Boer war, also employed thes (actios of "doing a bit" for the sol diers. The present war abounds with sto ries of dogs who have gone forwan joyously to fight with their masters and also of docs who have dug ou and dragged them to safety. So i is those same masters from unde the earth flung by bursting shells and small wonder that the men lovi the 4-foot friends who are compan ions through all the hardships of tin war. The hospital dogs. too. are (loin? a marvelous work, but it is not onlj dogs which are used by the super stitious soldiers as mascots, for cats monkeys and even a goose are to bt found with the different regiments Hlack Cat a Mascot.

This is the third incident of Brit ish history where cats have servei as mascots on the firing line, th lilack Watch carrying a black ca with them through the Crimean war which was killed at Balaklava. ; tiny black kitten also served as mascot for one of the Irish regl ments at the time, and a private ii the regiment who went into the hat tie of Tel-el-Kabir with the kitte tucked in tunic came through th fray without a scratch. l'cter, the Mascot CJoose.

There is, for instance, one infar try regiment from Canada whic boasts a private who always puts hi left sock and shoe on first. The re* iment had exceptionally good luc during the early weeks at the fron and. growing tired of healing th privhte boast that it was due to hi care of his shoes and socW oi the left ones one morning and r? fused to deliver them until the rigti shoe and sock were on.
