STOCKS TO THE HORSE.
General Alshire Does Not Think Much
of Machines for the Army.

Washington. Aug. 23.-Based upon
study and experience in the purchase
of horses and mules for the army.
Brigadier General J. B. Alshire, the
quartermaster general of the army,
devotes considerable space in his an
nual report to the remount service.
Experience during the last two years,
he says. indicates that the purpose of
congress in authorizing open market
purchases has not been developed to
an appreciate extent although such
purchases as have been effected were
generally of satisfactory animals. He
believes that the results contemplated
in providing for an open market pur-
chase can be best obtained by the
establishment of a remount service
with main Office in Washington, and
three or more remount depots. The
latter compromising the remount
district whose object would be to give
each depot particular section of the
United States from which to receive
its supply of young horses. He be-
lieves that within a year or two after
the eSta blishment of the remOunt
depots there will be a sufficient num-
Der of officers familiar with duties of
the remount service and the Informal
ton compiled by each remount depot
will be so far completed that the quar-
