Camp Devens reports plans to begin training dogs to carry battlefield messages. Breeds suited for this role will be brought to Devens to breed mute carriers for all divisions. The dogs are intended to haul messages to trenches scouts and outposts in No Man's Land during overseas service.
Prisoners not charged seriously will drill with their companies in the morning and perform fatigue work in the afternoon. They may sleep in their own quarters. A four-regiment field training competition begins in May with a board of judges, led by General I. D. Evans, evaluating comb maneuvering, scout work, skirmisher firing, and patrolling. The division school trains 4000 noncommissioned officers in grenade courses, tactical work, trench operations, and live grenades. Sixteen officers were ordered to Washington for instruction and reassignment.
