ARMY SHY OF HORSES
One Thousand Additional
Mounts Are Needed to Meet
the Requirements.

The army is now short at. least 1000
horses. a greater shortage than ever be-
fore existed. 1t has already expended
100000 allowed by Congress March 4
last, and, while another appropriation of
$4,000 will be available July ] at present
prices. not nearly enough horses can be
had to meet the need. Fortunately prices
are somewhat lower than last year,
ranging from $164 to STA, as compared
with $175 to $3.50 last year. Most of the
horses picked up are from the Missouri
markets Of average grade. and they are
being sent to Texas for the border patrol.
Efforts are being made to gather some
horses at Winchester, Va, for the cav
airy camp to be established there next
month. The Quartermaster Corps is try
ing to meet the demand for horsefiesh by
establishing breeding stations on Indian
reservations. Maj r. G. Paxton has just
organized the first of eight at the Chey-
enne agency at South Dakota. If that
works well the practice will be extended
to other reservations.

COAST DEFENSE PROGRAM
Joint Army and Navy Exer-
cises Planned for the Com
ing Summer.

Maj. William Chamberlain, Coast Ar
tillery Corps, at Fort Monroe, Va, has
come to Washington to confer with Brig
Gen. Erasmus NJ Weaver. chcief of coast
artillery, in regard to the joint army and
navy coast defense exercises to be held
this summer. These exercises, which are
set for the week beginning August 4, will
take place in the waters Of the coast de-
lenses of Long Island sound and Mar
ragansett bay Similar exercises were
held in 1902. 1903 and 1905, but none has
been held since the last date. 1t Is eX-
pected to have troops from the various
Atlantic coast stations participate with
those at the Long Island and Narragan-
sett stations.
Special Test of Plans.
Gen. Weaver said today that the war
game would not be played with an idea
to seeing whether the coast defenses or
the navy would come out victorious, but
that the naval craft would cooperate
with the coast artillery to enable the
latter organization to test out certain
schemes and plans.
With that end in view there will be
searchlight maneuvers with other exer-
cises to demonstrate the efficiency OF
fire control and fire action. 1t is ex-
pected that the exercises will be especially
valuable in showing improved methods
which have been evolved since the exer-
cises in 1905. Rear Admiral Badger com
manding the Atlantic fleet, will designate
the war vessels which will participate in
the maneuvers. Most of the vessels of
the fleet will have a part in the program
at different times during the progress of
the maneuvers.
