In France were a number OF American

There were American racing stables In
Germany. Austria and Russ.a and pre-
sumably these fast horses are now IN

able stock volunteering their horses
to the English government. and the fne
coach horses Of Alfred G. Vanderbilt.

prizes in many horse shows and hauled
coaches In the coaching marathons, are
probably today in artillery harness.
The effect OF the war on the price
of American horses is predetermined;
They cannot lawfully be sent abroad and
IL shipped are liable to capture and con-
fiscation as contraband of war. Horses
and mules, all pack and draught animals

them contraband. II England should
gain command of the seas she and the
allies would want American mules ana

Mobilization of Horses a
Task for Ewrope's Armies

II N the mobilization Of an army such as
the ones now fighting in Europe the
general reader thinks only Of the task
Of drawing the reservists from the civil
occupations into which after their period
Of compulsory service with the colors
they had settled down and returning them
to the brigade or corps to which they are
attached. That is gigantic task Of in
finite detail. but there Is one matter OF
prime importance to which the American
seems not to have had his attention call
ed. That matter is the mobilization Of
. horses.
Every fit horse IL needed for the Euro
pean armies. as is every At man. In
France and presumably also in Germany.
there was kept a register Of horses capa-
BILE OF military service. with, rating as
to whether of use for the cavalry, artil-
lery or uuartermaster, subsistence or san
itary service. The record OF each horse
showed the sex. age. weight. height, color.
conformation, width Of breast between the
points Of the shoulder. circumference Of
and distance from the lowest point OF the
girth TO the ground.
The register showed the name Of the
owner and the nature Of the work per.
formed by the horse and the location OF
tho stable. II the owner sold the horse he
must report that fact to the proper MILL
tary authority and the new owners name
was entered on the horse index. II the
stable Of the horse was changed that
fact was made q matter OF record.
Track was kept Of that horse. 30 that he
might be mobiltxed with the least loss OF
time. Mobil. .zation Of the horses and their
shipment to concentration or mobilixation
centers should take more time than the
mobilization Of men, and in the case OF
the French army in this war 1t did.
Countless thousands Of the horses now
drawing the guns and caissons Of the
French field artillery were few days
ago drawing plows and carts. The French
neld artillery during peace kept on hand
only about one-ffth Of the number OF
horses required for war. When the field
artillery went from Q peace footing to a
war footing only one Of the six horses
In the gun team and ono in the caisson
team were 'broke'' and hardened to ar
tillery harness and work.
That veteran horse was made the near
wheeler, the wheel team usually doing
little more than it's share OF the work
in starting the carriage. Its full share ~

carry on his back 80 pounds. hold back
with his mate at a trot 500 pounds. and
resist lateral movements OF the wheelers
and leaders at turns.
