Italian leaders have agreed un animously that the establishment of i some form of government with greater prestige and powers than Badoglio now commands is an immediate necessity, but they also agree that any regime can be only provisional pending liberation from the Germans and the possibility of consulting the wishes of all Italians. The 77-year-old Croce himself, in disclosing for the first time that he favors a regency, tended to confirm earlier reports that both King Vittorio Emanuele and the crown prince had lost considerable prestige. Throughout his long career as a Croce said he understood that British favors a monarchy for Itair, but expressed belief that the Bntaa mean a monarchic type cf government and not the present king. Croce said he believed thai a regency would be acceptable to the ira-jority of Italians, while ar-v-frrr-; that the industrial masses of northern Italy showed a tenderer toward "socialism and communism."

His principal work is the same as that of a bloodhound, but he is trained to be utterly silent and not give away the position of his handler. These dogs are chosen with especially keen scent as they are often put on a "cold" trail. Approximately two months are required to train a sentry dog, but 13 to 26 weeks are needed for a messenger dog or special tactical dog.

About a thousand dogs are being trained at Front Royal war dog reception and training center. Major Dean Bedford is director of the center, while Col. T. B. Apgar is commanding officer of the Front Royal quartermaster remount depot, army service forces.

An hour training is given each day to each dog. Must Show Appreciation In the basic training, the dogs learn to heel, sit down, stay and jump. The men are taught how to handle the dog and show their appreciation for a job well done. At first a suggestive motion of the hand accompanies the verbal command. The leash is held in the right hand and the command given with the left.
