Astonishing Record of a Dog Owned by a Canadian Private. "Dogs of w?j" are again in the fore- ground of the news from the battle- tields In France.

Norah, until her arrival back in Eng- land a few weeks ago, had been in France for two ye^rs and ten months, and In that time she accounted for over 100,000 rats. Norah, who is just over three years old, went to France with a British sol- dier when she was a puppy aged three weeks. Before she was nine weeks old she had killed her first rat, and she has been killing them steadily ever since. The best single day's re- cord that she put up in that time was 628 rodents accounted for. That was near St. Omer, In August last. Her naturally proud owner, Pte. Thomas Radford, of the Canadian Veterinary Corps, kept a record of her perform- ances, rat by rat, up to August last, at which time Norali's total was the astonishing one of 74,119. Since then her record has been largely by esti- mate. The Lie That God Forgave. The smoke of the halile, flyInK, Cleared! The dead and dying l.ay sli-ewn, no more lUelr guns to weld.
