When Hercules did use to spin,

Our trade to flourish did begin
While conscience went out sell

Shortage In The Supply Of
Suitable Horses For Army

That the shortage in the supply Of
horses suitable TO the needs OF the
United States Army has reached a
point as serious, in proportion to the
country population, as was that in
1864, when the army needed 1857
horses and could not obtain them, is
the statement of Mai. Gen. Leonard
Wood, who declares that in the next
var, unless the situation materially
mas improved, the army probably will
have TO import mounts from abroad
Army officers, including Gen. Wood,
are taking more of an interest in the
plans for the ational Capital Horse
show, 10 be held May / TO 4, than they
have in any previous horse show held
in Washington. for the reason that
the problem facing the army with re-
spect TO the scarcity of horses con-
stantly is becoming a more difficult
one TO solve. The directors OF the Ma
tional Capital Horse show are endeay-
oring TO bring horse owners and
breeders into closer touch with the
government. and il is believed that,
on account of Washington being the
seat OF the government and located
between two great horse-producing
states, Maryland and Virginia, the 10.
cal horse shows, at no distant date are
destined 10 become the most import
ant of any in the country.
In an interview. in which he de-
scribes the kinds OF horses needed
by the army, Gen. Wood refers 70 the
hunter type. with a foundation OF
galloping blood
Gen. Woods statement is as fol-
lows:
The question of proper mounts for
the cavalry and artillery is a very
serious one. During the twenty-six
years of my experience in the SER
vice there has been a gradual falling
on in the quality of remounts. We
need about 1000 new horses each
year, but they are exceedingly hard
TO obtain, although we have officers

TO PREVENT OTHER
WRECKS AT SEA.

Various suggestions have followed
the sinking of the Titanic as to tho
means of guarding against the rep
etition of such a disaster so tar as
IT can be done. They include the
provision of more life boats, life
RATS and other means OF saving pas
sengers and crew; an international
latroi OF the north Atlantic to de-
tect and report the presence OF ice
bergs and ice fields. more extern
sive system OF wireless telegraphy;
the sailing of two ships together dur.
ing seasons when the danger is un.
usually great, anu other plans along
the same lines.
The first Of these would seem to
lie the one Of the most immediate
consequence, and it is reported tina.
the White Star line has ordered Il
large equipment OF life saving crafts
It is not sufficient to leave such
matter to the option of a steamship
company, however. The laws OF all
maritime nations should be clear, un.
equivocal and thorough in this mat
ter. They should provide Tor an en-.
tirely adequate equipment OF the kind
no matter what has 20 be sacrificed
TO make room for il. They should De
backed up By penalties for non-com'
pliance with them that will assure
their being carried out In addition,
life saving drills should be made
compulsory and provision made for
assuring competent crew for each
life boat in case of a wreck.
The other matters mentioned are
worthy OF serious consideration AID
should be carefully weighed. All Of
them possess HYCi1 'DS'4'' Luz
is one other factor that should no:
be overlooked, and that is that the
fate OF the Titanic is a warning re-
garding the speed at which such
crafts can be safely nayigated. To
the ordinary traveller the difference
Of a few days in crossing the Allan
tic is a matter Of little or no import
ance. And whatever its importance,
the thousands on board the various
ships should not be endangered IN or

OF speed is one that demands the At
