Dogs of War \re to Be Unleashed bv
Army; New l nits Being Organized
WASHINGTON. Aug. — The Army has finally de
cided to unleash the dogs of war. In this instance, we
■c re once more several months or years behind the
Nazis, who reportedly now are using more than 100.000
c l’s for supplementary sentry service and other du
ties connected with prosecution of the war.
Now comes the quartermaster corp- to give full re
c grot ion to Dogs for Defense, Inc., an organization
of owners, breeders, trainers and handlers, backed by
s me of the biggest kennel associations in the country.
The ,dea is to supply the Army and Navy with thou
sands of dogs (about 2.000 have been supplied todate)
trained to contribute a sensitive nose an extra pair
of eyes and ears, and a canine sixth sense on sentry
duty. If Rover is a pure-bred dog (and he can be a
she) between one and five years old. is sound of wind
and limb, he’s eligible for military duty. There are.
of course, a lot of additional IFs.
He (or she)must be of watchdog disposition. That
is. the Army doesn’t want any stranger-sniffers—they
have to be barkers or. at least, growlers. He mustn’t
be a one-man dog either, because the canine sentries
might have a new master every time he’s on duty. He
must be able to work as well at night as in the day
time. And what is of vital importance, he must be
aoie to work as well under gunfire as any of the best
field trial blue ribbon Winners.
Having answered all those specifications, the dog
must also answer to the following commands (pre
ceded by his name): "Heel”—standing steady or fol
lowing at the handler's left heel. "Stay” — which
means "as is’’ and immediately. "Out ”—which means
rout ’em out. hound, in whatever direction the hand
ler designates. "Come"—or get for papa. Bruno, and
c n’t chase any rabbits on the way.
if the family purp fulfills ail these requirements
c. ’ i is that far along in h.s training, he's ready for
mlitary service and the specified agents of Dogs for
Defense (they are in the process of being appointed
in practically every city and town in the country —
ask your veterinary or local kennel club) will put
Km through the paces. If he passes their tests, he’s
ready for induction.
This drive for dogs to use n modern mechanized
warfare has its funny side, too. It is reminiscent of
the story that Rommel, the Nazi genius of desert war
fare, learned every basic principle of strategy from
studying the campaign and attack strategy of "Stone
wall'' Jackson.
When the founding fathers and the pioneers were
setting off their blunderbusses against the Indians,
the worst menace they had to confront was the warn
ing yowls of the dogs in the Indian camps and vil
lages. Weapons change, but not the old principles. A
bark in time still may save a battle.
—By Jack Stinnett
WANTED: DOGS FOR WAR
The Army wants dogs, from Great Danes to poodles,
to run messages, do sentry duty, string telephone
wires, and tote ammunition and medicine. Dogs for
Defense, a nonprofit organization founded by Harry I.
Caesar of New York, has undertaken to train them.
At 20 canine camps DFD’s volunteers — dog fanciers,
trainers and handlers—are whipping in shape the nu
cleus of an eventual corps of 50,000. Already at army
posts, airfields, munitions plants, thoroughbreds of 16
breeds are patrolling with sentries. One sentry with
a dog, DFD figures is worth six without.
The idea is not new. In the first World War, 75,000
dogs were used. The American Kennel Club reported
long before Pearl Harbor that the Nazis had shipped
to Japan 25,000 dogs trained for military service. In
10 years Germany had trained 200.000 for army and
police work. In Russia last winter, war dogs located
the wounded quickly, and Siberian snipers, dashing
by on sleds pulled by. white polar dogs, surprised the
Germans more than once.
For recruits, DFD depends on patriotic dog owners.
A Pearl Harbor widow brought in a Great Dane on
her way to take a job in a war plant. An eight-year
old donated the boxer he got for Christmas. Hundreds
of others volunteered their pets. Small dogs are par
ticularly good at guard duty. The navy has asked for
Scotties to stand watch when ships are in dock. Me
dlum-sized dogs — Airda'es, Dalm tians, greyhounds,
and shepherds — are best in combat. They are alert,
fast, and small enough to be difficult targets.
Basic training for the canine soldier lasts 6 weeks.
If he is pampered or unintelligent, he is found out in
that time. A dog who makes the grade spends a final
week getting acquainted with the soldier assigned to
handle him. U en receives his uniform, a white rubber

Is Slayer Of
•/
Four Persons
The unfailing memory of the
law : t vealed over the weekend
t ' Pedar Yabuvancin, berserk
kiiitr who slew three persons in
th« Fairbanks area a month ago,
was n regality a four-time mur
: derer.
Information received by the
F. rbanks office of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, as a re
sult f its suspicions that Yabu
v nc;n might have had a pre
v - criminal record, was a start
line 1 max to an already dram
atic 'tory, seemingly ended by
t’.i slayer’s own death.
Convicted Of .Murder
It came in the form of a re
port from the mam offices of the
FBI at Washington, D. C.—stat
in.; that Yabuvancin. before com
mg to Alaska had served time
f r murder in Colorado and was
a r ugee from that state’s jus
tice.
Identification was made thru
ti * .umple and unfailing meth
f f fingerpr.nting. The slayer
da d from suffocation in an abon
d :.* i mine tunnel near the Ester
• --.ensile, where he had been
tra d by law officers and be
■ g I after he had brutally mur
di r< d Mr. and Mrs. Milo Sau
L and 14-year-old Mary Stay,
a, ■ had been liv.ng with the
couple.
Fingerprints Taken
In addition to other subsequent
in', stigation, the Fairbanks FBI
agents sent fingerprints taken
from the dead slayer’s hands to
*> home office—in an effort to
see whether the former miner
and handyman had any other
grisly items in his past.
The fingerprints went through
rout.ne examination and compari
son tests at Washington, and are
revealed now to be those of a
killer long thought dead.
Yabuvancin was arrested back
in 1917, in Colorado, and con
v.cted of second-degree murder.
He was sentenced to spend a
terrh of from 18 to 25 years at
the Colorado State Penitentiary
Makes Escape
Four years later, while he was
working with a convict road
gang at Canon City, near the
state penitentiary, he managed to
make his escape from custody.
The fugitive was sought in all
parts of the United States; his
face stared from hundred, of
"Wanted circulars. Pul various
peace officers were unable to
find his trail.
In 1930, the Colorado Peniten
t ary i fficial- received informa
tion. which they believed to be
authentic hat Yabuvancin wa,
dead. Accordingly, the case wa
closed.
Caps Remain
But it .van far from closed, as
the tr.ple murder a month ago
gruesome]v proved. The FBI in
vestigation is continuing in its
own quiet fashion. There are
still gaps m the killer's life
since 1921 to be filled. It is
known that he had been around
Fairbanks for around a year and
a half, most of the time working
at the Saulich place where the
couple's discouragement of his
advances to the Stay girl led to
the triple slaying. He came to
Fairbanks from Juneau, and at
one time was employed by the
Anaconda Copper company,
where he listed himself as a
pumpman, timberman, and wash
er.
Before committing the triple
murder, without parallel in the
history of interior Alaska, he
was known to have threatened
other persons, including Deputy
Marshal Pat O’Connor.
