HORSES IN WARFARE
Equine Quadrupeds Necessary At til
Front.

Front
The horse Is not to become obso-
lete after all-that is. 80 long as there
are wars. Automobiles and electric
cars may drive him from town and
country, but the army is still left for
him. One thing that the present war
in South Africa has emphasized is the
value of mobility in troops. And mo-
bility can only come through mounted
infantry. and mounted infantry needs
horses. Here, incidentally, lee new
market for Canadian horses, and one
that may not be unworthy OF attention
The last official report Of Edwin M.
Stanton, secretary of war In President
Lincoln's cabinet. gives some faint
conception OF the enormous consump-
tion of horses and mules entailed by
active hostilities on large scale dur
ing such a Titanic war as that between
the Northern and Southern states oil
the American Union. which lasted
from Arril, 1861. to May, 1865, The
report in question is dated Washing
ton. March /. 1865. and contains the
fOllOWlnR btIlhiHB pshoooeO+ 1f
pIy of horses and mules to our armies
has long been at the rate Of 800 per
day. which is also the average rate oil
their destruction. The cavalry of the
army of the Potomac was twice re-
mounted during the first eight months
of 1864. The resources of supply In
this country we're able to bear the I'm
mense drains upon Its horses and
mules, and judging from current pn-
ces. the stock shows no symptoms OF
exhaustion or diminution. An army In
the feld, we'll equipped with artillery.
cavalry and trains. requires one horse
or mule to every two men. The num-
ber of horses and mules In our armies
is nearly equal"
If the calculation of Mr.. Stanton, the
American secretary of war in 1865, be
correct, 100, 900 British troops now en-
gagged in fighting the Beers would need
so 900 horses and mules to keep them
going-Philadelph Times.

Wolf Pest In MIrnenota.

Lyon county, Minnesota, is almost
confronted with the dilemma whether

OF March, April and May the county
paid for the killing OF eight-hve full
grown wolves and T79 whelps no less
than S2,953. And there IL no evidence
that the wolves are apprecinbly re-

for CustOnI-HouSe Archives

BALTIMORE, July 2i-ColIector VIII
liam 9. Stone OF the port Of Baltimore. has
received a communication from ". Hail
Harris. Vice President Of the Maryland
Historical Society. requesting the coIlec-
tors consent to the transfer Of certain
books and papers pertaining to the early
Colonial days Of the State Of Maryland
which have been recently found in the
files -oom OF the Custom House
The attention OF the Historical Society
WAS called 10 the presence Of the papers in
the Custom House by the recent publica-
ton f an agreement between a commit
tee a the town OF Baltimore" and the
commander OF the galley CCGqueror. au-
thOriziES him to 20 on a voyage Of con
quest. The copy Of this agreement was
read BY the officers Of the Historical So
ciety and tEev set 10 work AZ once TO Sc
cure this and other papers OF like char
acJtr.
In addition to the letter from Mr. Har-
ris. the collector has received a visit from
John ). Cuttings. who told the collector
that the society was very anxious TO Sc
cure possession OF these dOcuemnJs. which
would undoubtedly be a valuable acquisi-
ton TO the Colonial records now in the So
cicty's collection.
Collector Stone told Nessrs Harris and
Cuttings that the only way a transfer Of
these documents could be made would be
by application 20 the Secretary OF the
Treasury al Washington. and that ne would
make no objections 10 such an application
unless the documents were needed for the
transaction Of customs business However.
he considered this very doubtful owing TO
their age
The officers of the society requested the
collector 10 make them cut a list OF these
old documents, which they will enclose
with c letter 20 the Secretary OF the Treas
ury asking that they be given the author
ity 10 transfer the papers TO the rooms Of
the Historical Society II, however. the
Secretary OF the Treasury viii not give
them absolute ownership OF the papers.
they viii request that they be loaned the
