THE SLAUGHTER OF HORSES.
How the Animals Were Destroyed in An
cient Warfare.

cient Warfare.
Chivalry had been left very far be-
hind when Wallhausen wrote on mill
tary instruction, in 1916. BY his direc-
tions the lancer fixes his spear point
not in his opponents cuirass, but in the
head of his horse, and harquebuse,
pistol and musket are alike leveled at
the hapless beast instead of at the
rider. The cuirassier who is dis
mounted struggles TO his feet, and
''d'espee en- tasche aussi de faire tom
Der lie cheval he lennemy;" that is, un-
less he is ridden down and trampled
from his stirrups.
The slaughter of horses which must
have taken place at this time must
have been appalling, and such training
might well produce troopers like those
who, as d'Avila tells us, fving from
the field of Ivry, and finding the bridge
across the Eure broken down, 'cut off
their horses legs that they might serve
them for breastwork" against their
pursuers. English translation, 1910,
Perhaps the Italian phrase only means
'ham-stringed their horses" but in
any case one is pleased TO know that
these pitiless scoundrels were de
stroyed in such manner that very few
of them remained alive" Yet the
steeds so cruelty treated were not mere
hacks
They We're "horses of price" trained
to swim streams and leap bitches and
fences under heavily-armed man, to
cross twelve-inch planks, and pass over
piles of dead without finchlng-nay,
