BUYING AMERICAN HORSES.
Britain wants Fifty Thousand Mounts for
War Uses.

Kansas City, No., Dec. 23.-Capt.
Heygate of the British army. is pur.
chasing $4,000 cavalry horses and
mules for the English forces in Soutt
Africa. He came here more than j
year ago to buy horses and mules for
the British army, but he was ordered
home shoJt time ago because il was
thought that The Bocr war was over.
But the unexpected renewal of hostiii.
ties has made tn" purchase Oh more
horses and mules absolutely neces-
sary.
AS fast as the animals are inspected
and bought they will be sent to New
Orleans and shipped to Cape Town,
Durham and New London in British
transports, some of which are now on
their way to the Usited States
One shipload of the animals will be
taken to South Africa by Lieut.. David
B. Moberly, leaving New Orleans soon
after January l. Lieut.. Moberly said:
''By the time the horses and mules
are landed in South Africa they cost
the British Government $3.50 head.
That is a large price for an animal
which will be fit for service only six
weeks. Most of the animals die be-
cause Of the change in climate. They
must cross the equator in going to
South Africa, and the torrid heat of
the tropics kills them rapidly. The
average death rate on ship board is
81 to the 1000.
Forty days after a horse is bought
in Kansas City it is landed in South
Africa. SO great is the demand for
horses at the front that it is impossible
to give them the needed rest after
landing before putting them into the
service. Consequently they go to the
front in 4 weakened condition and not
getting a sufficient amount of food,
they soon die.
Since the beginning of the Boer war
England mas purchased ever tOV,CVc
head Of horses and mules in the United
States. Ii required sixty-iive ships to
carry them from New Orleans to South
Africa. Government transports will
De kept very busy from now on carry

WITHDRAWAL OF LuzoN TROOPS.
Il is Claimed that the Result will be Dis.
aStrOus.

: Manila, Dec. %. - The public is
deeply agitated over the approaching
departure of the volunteers. 1t Is
feared that the withdrawal or weaken
ing of the present inadequate garrison
will be suicidal, and 1t is anticipate
that the peaceful natives will suffer
from TagalOg vengeance. General
Macarthur has assured the districts
from which the volunteers will be
Withdrawn, that they will BE- regarris-
eHed and receive the fullest protection
but this it is known will be impossible
unless congress passes the army bill.
The Americans here are anxiously
awaiting the proposed increase in the
army. A majority of the volunteers
can not leave the provinces which are
now peaceful, but in which they have
fought hard. until new troops coming
form an endless chain, enabling i'm
mediate substitution. Should con-
gress offer $500 bonus for reeniist-
pent there is no doubt that thousands
Of experienced and acclimated volun-
teers would remain here.

A Stationary Nation.

France alone, OF all the great CIVIL
lied nations of to-day, has for years
past been practically stationary IN
population. England, Germany, Rus
sia. even Austria. are making con-
slant increases, large or small, IN
, their inhabitants, but Frances popu-
lation has exhibited very little change
for third OF a century. The excess
of births ever deaths in France IN
1899. as now made public. was only
81 900. Four of the uine years since
1890 showed falling off in popula-
ton, and i've of them revealed gains.
The net increase 10 the st ten years
IN that country is bnE 225, 600.
Ireland has beea declining in popu-
lation ever since the famine in 1916,
which killed thousands of its people
and sert millions in the next few years
out of their country 10 various parts
of the world. chiefly to the United
States. The decline in Ireland s pop
ulation seems to be under way still,
though the volume of emigration is
much smaller than it was a score or a
dozen years ago. Apparently the
population of Ireland is only about
half as great at the present time as it
was when the census of 1S4l was taken.
The famine few years later checked
tie growth which had been under way
until that time and ever since then
there has been steady shrinkage.
In France, however, the conditions
are widely different from those which
prevail in Ireland. just after France,
as consequence of the German war
of 1901, lost her provinces of Alsace |
and Lorraine, her population was, in
round figures 36.OOO,OO 1t is now
slightly in excess of IS, 600, ZOO. In al |
most thirty years France has gained
only 1000, 800 inha bitants. This is all
the more surprising on account eff the
losses which take place
by emigration. It's low birth rate is
he cause OF the practically stationary
character OF its population. While
Germany is growing rapidly and con-
despite the drain by emf
France year after year shows
only an ininitesimal gain. At the
present time the population of the
German Empire is in the neighbor-I
lood Of $4,000, 600, and toe gap be-
ween the two rivals will apparently
continue to broaden. France is still
/ powerful and prosperous nation,
)ut from present Indications it will
lave dropped to a MINOR place among
hc great countries of the world before
! quarter of Inc incoming century has
passed. Globe Democrat.

"OYo Vadis" To.Morrow Night.

Can IL sermon be preached or acted
from the stage? After Witnessing a
performance of ''Quo Vadis" "one must
in truth unhesitatingly answer ''yes. :"
No one can attend this renarka Bile
play without being benefited and up
lifted by it. So reverently acted and
so skillfully handled is the recital of
the Lords prayer by the aged apostle
Peter that no offense is given TO those
who hold religion as dear and sacred.
Nothing could be in stronger and
stranger contrast than the heartless
cruelty of the Emperor Nero and the
sanity christians as they existed in
the actual past, in the alluring story
of the novelist and in the dramatiza-
ton of the latter. 1t is possible, of
course, to compress into a brief play
but a fraction of the novelist's elab-
crate work, yet they have succeeded in
preserving the spirit Of the famous
original and selected with discrimin-
alton its most striking passages.
