Which are the more expensive
horses or mules2
Upon the answer to that question de-
pends the breed of chargers the sol
diers may get in answer to President
Roosevelt's plea, made public yesterday
morning.
The conundrum was propounded by
Mr. Capron. of Rhode Island, when
he was asked as to the probable action
of the Committee on Military Affairs
regarding the Presidents suggestion
that all infantry captains should be
horsemen. after the custom of the Eu-
rOpean armies.
1T depends on which are cheapest
horses or mules-whether we buy long
or short tail animals" replied Mr Ca

didn't mean it. but as a member of the

he is inclined to doubt if there will be
