Interesting phases of this war which is
now being known as the greatest fra
tJcidai strife in the annals OF man
kind
Recent Investigations reveal the re-
markable fact that modern wars are
fought by animals as well as men
that victory or defeat depends almost
as much upon horses as it does soldiers.
For every two men killed the life OF
n horse must BIO literally thrown in
TO give full measure" to the demon
of war.
According 10 tho official records in
the War Department at Washington
S2b,T66 horses fought in tho American
Civil War under the Union flag. Vouch-
ers show that thcsc horses cost sl25.-
s6f.9l5. or an average price of $40.
The Confederate records cannot be
found. but 1t Is estimated that there
were proportionatcly as many horses
under the Stars and Bars, thus leaving
million and half horses in the night
ing armies.

given their true recognition IN his

among them. with an intelligence and
