AN example of false ECONOMY i -

AN example of false economy is re-
vealed in the report Of Secretary La
mont. He discovered that ths hor ses
bought for the cavalry are scarcely
better than old plugs. According to
his information, about the shabbiest
looking horses in the cou, try are to
be seen at the cavalry mounts.
These animals are not to be compared
with those OF any of the great foreign
nations. A large majority of the
horses simply answer the purpose of
transportation and the mule would
probably answer the purpose if that
We're all required In view of the
fact that for several years horses have
been cheap, one would have naturally
supposed that the cavalry service
would be splendidly equipped in this
respect.
