England buying Horses In This
I COuntry-FcarfuI Death Rate.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Dee 24.-Cap-
tain Ieygatc of the British army is pur'
chasing 10000 cavalry horses and mules
for the British army in South Africa. IL
came here more than year ago to buy
horses and mules. but was ordered home
Il short time ago. But the unexpected
renewal of hOstiliics has made the pul-
chase of more horses and mules neces
sary. AS fast rs the animals gre inspect.
ed and bought they will be sent to New
Orleans and shipped to Cape Town, Dur
ban and New London on British trans
ports. some Of which are now on theii
way to the United States. One shipload
of the animals will he taken to South
Africa by Lieutenant David Mobcily
leaving New Orleans soon after January
Lieutenant Mohcrly said:
by the time the horses and mules are
landed in South Africa they cost the
British government $500 Il head. That Is
a large price for an animal which viii he
fit for service only six weeks. Most of
the animals die hccauSc of the change in
climate. They must cross the equator III
going to South \ frica. and the torrid heat
of the tropics kills them rapidly. The
average death rate on shipboard is b tc
the 1000. Forty days after Il horse is
purchased in Kansas City it is landed in
South Africa. So great is the demand
for horses mt the front that it Is imposSi.
Bile to give them the needed rest after
landing before putting them into service.
Consequently they go to the front in a
weakened condition, and not getting q
sufficient amount of food, they soon die.
Since the beginning of the Bocr war Eng
land has purchased over 1OO,OOO head of
horses and mules in the United States.
1t required 90 ships to carry them from
New Orleans to South Africa. Govern.
ment transports will he kept very busy
from now on carrying the horses which
England will need in South Africa and
which have been ordered purchased in
the United States. Baden Powell now
has $4,000 mounted police and it is pro
posed to mount 10000 of the imperial in.

soldiers must be mounted to be able tc
