Chow Hound (1916? 1917?)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

HDAS has "chow hound" from this cite:
1917 Marines Magazine (Oct.) 15: Weinstein...keeps unsullied his well-known  
record...as chow hound.
...
Google Books appears to show the same cite from 1916. Of course, you can't  
see the entire page, even though the copyright has long expired. Thanks, Google 
 Books!
...
Is the correct date 1916 or 1917? Chow hounds want to know.
