A capita] story is "told of von der Goltz Pasha. It relates to the TurkTsh manoeuvres in 1909. A division, on returning to its quarters in darkness, lost its way. Suddenly the fieldmarshal said to his staff officer: "Bark, linhoff Pasha, bark I" and in reply to a puzzled question he ropeated: "Bark like a dog ; hark as loud as you can." So the officer, accustomed to obey orders, started to "wouf, wouf" fortissimo. In a minute or two success was manifest. One village dog replied, and then another. The field-marshal was delighted. "We've drawn him!" ho exclaimed. "That's the village over thcro wo were trying to find; let us go To it."
