the Park theatre, made its first az j..
pearance Monday afternoon. The
show was attended by large audien-
COS both Monday afternoon and
night. The plot is all about the adj
ventures of Jack" an American
girl, and Richard Weston, a foreign
correspondent of a press association.
They travel from France to a Turk
ish harem, from Turkey to a Chinese
palace in seeking to save Jacks best
friend, "Vivienne," whom the vii
lains are trying to destroy.
David Nowlin, as Dick Weston. is
a most clever actor His humor won

Fred c. Reynolds. as the Turkish
ambassador to France, a perfect type
of villain, and Miss Carrie LeMoyne,
a villainess, are both good. They
succeeded in producing Kisses be-

his daughter Clara, who was IA
years of age at the time the crime is
said to have been committed. The
case was before the court Tuesday

One OF the most deplorable ac-

SHORTAGE OF HORSES
ALARMS THE ENGLISH
Unable to Mount One-HaIf of The
Cavalry Service.

LIN DUN, MATCH "a - n very
serious problem is arising in the
Army with regard to the supply
of horses for war. The falling off
in breeding in this country has
effected for many years the mill
tary service, but this disadvantage
has been intensified by the increase
of motor traction, which gives the
War Office a reduced number of
horses to draw upon. Firms and
omnibus companies who formerly
registered thousands for war ser
vice at a fee can only offer hun
dreds now. Steps have been taken
to ascertain the numbers available
in this country, and from all
sources it is now quite apparent
that if the first and second line
armies were modified England
should be faced with one of the
most pressing of military difficult
ties in the supply of horses to keep
them in the field. A rough cell
sus of the animals available in
England, made with the assistance
of the Board of Agriculture, mas
tiers of hounds, county authorities
and the remount staff, shows that
we have about ESQ, 900 available
horses of all kinds. OF these few
er than POO, 900 are up to the cav
airy standard, To place the ex-
peditiOnary force of six regular
divisions and one cavalry division
i'll the field as a commencement,
10, 900 horse would be necessary,
and, in addition, $4,000 would
be needed for the Territorial Force.
AT the present moment England
has not in hand these los 900 to
commence a war with The prob
lem is more serious than that of
men, as an army is immobile and
passive without remounts. As re-
placement during the first year of
war 400 900 other horses would
be necessary. In these numbers
the question of a supply from
abroad arises, No adequate ar
engagements have been announced
for such supply, and the foreign
market in the next war, it is stat
ed, will be closed against England.
At the present moment the prices
abroad are 20 per cent higher
than they were at the time of the
Boer war. There will be a horse
ring against the next nation which
requires to drain the supply. That
country can only be England, as
the Continental nations have en-
riChed themselves from English
stock. 1t is reported that there
are some thousands fewer brood
mares now i'll the country and that
the birth of toals has dropped by
10, 900 year. All this, added to
the motor traction, is thinning the
ranks of serviceable horses by
many thousands annually, and the
War Office is unable to get upon
its registers anything approaching
the numbers necessary for war pur-
poses. The regular army at pres
ent has, excluding India, about
$1,000 horses on charge. Fewer
than half the number required be-
fore the army could take the field
About $4,000 are required for the
artillery alone. Large numbers of
the animals available are of poor
quality, and the type is inferior to
that selected for the Continental
armies.
