White House. one Of the best-known fig
ures Of the Executive Mansion, Is dying
of q tumor in his throat. Jerry has been
part of the household regime ever since

Now that this stairway has been removed
Jerry finds his ghosts in the basement
raise report has been circulated the

CAVALRY HORSES ARE IN DEMAND.
None Suitable for the Service Can
Be Bought In United states.


REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington, Dec. 2-Horses suitable for
the use Of the cavalry cannot now be
bought in this country, according to an
interview given by Brisadier General W.
II. Carter. just before he sailed for Eu-
rope.
General Carter said it was possible five
years ago to buy desirable cavalry horses,
but since that time the animal well adapt
ed to the uses of the army seems to have
disappeared. In Europe the Governments
have resorted to the establishment of
farms where animals are bred for the use
of cavalrymen. The result has been horses
which are far superior to those the AmerI-
can Army uses.
In General Carriers opinion. no breed
ing farms will be established by this Cow
eminent He will remain In Europe for
several weeks gathering informal ton con-
corning the breeding Of cavalry horses
and will submit this to the general STAFF.
1t is believed that. making the horse rails
ers of this country familiar with Euro
pean methods. it will be possible for the
Government to induce them to raise anil
airy
