THE service Of cavalry horse
under an enterprising commander
has averaged only four months" ,"
During 1864 there were 500 horses
consumed per day in the northern
army, without considering those cap
tured and not reported. During eight
months of that year, the cavalry of
the Army Of the Potomac was re-
mounted twice, nearly 10000 horses
in all being required.
Our own army furnishes desirable
market for we'll bred horses, there
being under the remount system, at
least 5000 horses required annually
to supply both the army and the
national guard. There are now about
10000 horses in our regular army
on a peace basis. In war, many
more would be required before the
first engagement. There is, however,
steady market for good horses in
dependent of the European demand.
Even the invasion of motor power,
which has reduced the number of
horses on our streets, has not in
fluenced this demand In fact, the
price of horses has advanced along
with other commodities during re-
cent years.
The bureau of animal industry Of
the u. S. department of agriculture,
Washington, D. c., stands ready to
aid any farmer desiring to breed
high class horses. AS the day of
the large horse ranch is practically
gone, any increased demand will
have to be met by the farmer. There
are certain localities more suited to
horse breeding than others and
places where certain breeds do bet
ter. Such details may be obtained
for the asking Even in the south.
where mules are bred in preference
to horses, an increased production
of first class animals should find a
ready market abroad, although the
mule is not used on the continent
to the extent that it is used here,

Washington, Oct. 10.-During the
next decade there will probably be
an increased demand for American
horses in the countries now engaged
in the European war. The demand
may even continue much longer, ac.
cording to Investigators of the U.
S. department of agriculture, as not
only will horses be needed for arm
les, but when peace is restored,
more will be needed for agriculture.
Already European agents are said
to be endeavoring to purchase horses
in this country and Canada, and
there is an increased interest in

many sections in horse breeding.
To meet this inreased European
demand American farmers may well
endeavor to raise well-brde horses,
although the department of agricul-
ture does not advise them to pur-
chase a surplus of horses merely for
breeding purposes. 1t merely advises
that ordinary farm work should be
done whenever possible by good
mares, which should be bred to good
stations. SIt also desires to empha-
size the fact that only horses of
high quality may be profitably raised
today. Inferior horses are a drug
on the market, and their production
is to be discouraged as much as the
production of good horses should be
encouraged.
The United States has previously
been drawn on to supply European
countries at war. In the Boer war
over 100000 horses were bought here
by the British government. 1t may
be doubted whether a foreign coun-
try could now obtain a similar sup
ply in this country except at ex-
cessive cost. However, if farmers
take pains to utilize their good mares
during this winter to breed them to
good stations, in the course of
several years (time enough for the
foals to develop America will be
better able to meet the European
demand
1t is natural that European coun-
tries should look to the United
States for horses, as next to Russia
it has more of these animals than
any other country in the world.
The United States and Russia pos
sesses 5S per cent of the worlds
supply. Strange to say, however,
there were no horses originally on
our continent and the present supply
comes from stock brought over from
Europe. Canada's supply is small
compared to our own.
The German army requires for a
complete mobilization 10000 horses
and the French army is said to re-
quire 25000O, which figure, however
probably includes only those fol
the cavalry. 1t is conservatively es
timated on good authority that L.
100000 horses are engaged in the
European war. AS the great major
ity Of these horses are not included
in the permanent military organiza-
ton but are used for farm work
and are requisitioned by governments
only when needed for military pur
poses, the countries of continental
Europe will certainly face an acute
shortage of farm horses before the
next planting season, which vii
affect the price of horses the worlt
over, as soon as peace is declared.
According to the best information
horses in the countries of Europe
now at war number as follows:

COAL MINERS
 THREATEN STRIKE Over 375,OOO to March Out April l in the Middle
 West. CONFERENCE FAILS Operators and WGrkmen Fail to Agree on Four State Contract
 and Turn Trip Three.
CONFERENCE FAILS

Chicago, March 24-Beginning April i, 375, ,000 coal miners in practical fly all the bituminous coal states will cease work.
 Negotiations between the operators and miners of the central competetive states-western Pennsylvania, Ohio Indiana and Illinois, which have been in progress here, were broken off to- day. The conference adjourned on motion of President John T. White of the miners.
 Failure to make an agreement be- tween the Ohio operators and miners and refusal of the miners to s,gn a contract in three states, leaving Ohio, brought about the disruption of the interstate trade agreement.
 If q settlement could have been reached by the Ohio operators and miners on a price for mined run coal, clause three, the other obstacle % a settlement might have been adjusted The clause prohibited miners from asking for any danger in working conditions that would aId to the cost of mining. The miners wanted this clause eliminated and the operators had said they would not make fight to retain it. The miners had with- drawn their demand for increased pay.
 About 350,000 bituminus coal miners will quit work March 31, said President White" We could not make four state agreement with the operators and we would not agree to a three state contract. The policy committee will decide the future ac- tion of the miners. Practically all bituminous states will be involved in the suspension"
 The policy committee will be asked to permit the resumption of work where the operators and miners in one state reach an agreement.

CALMETTE FUNERAL
 EXCITES FRENCHMEN
Immense Crowds Watch COrtege and
 Riot Follows Services.

Paris, March 24.-The funeral of Gaston Calmette, victim of Mime. Gail laux, took place here in the church of St. Francois De Sales, in the north western district of Paris, and within a block of the residence of his slayer
 Many hours before the procession moved, large crowds filled the streets The police and military authorities were out in force all along the route.
 The underground railway stations nearby were occupied by large detach- ments, who had instructions to close them if the crowds became too great to handle. Squads of mounted repub- lican guards also were under arms and occupied trategic points in the vicinity.
 Among the notable personages present at the funeral were Emile Loubet, former president of the re- public; Aristide Briand and Louis Barthou, two former premiers; Prince Murat, Baron Robert DeROthschild, Fernand Labori, the attorney who is to defend Madame Caillaux; Sarah Bernhardt and hundreds of others.
 While they were returning from the cemetery, royalist enthusiast shouted: Cheers for Caillaux." He was attacked by the crowd and struck with canes and when the disturbance ended he was found to have been wounded by revolver shot. The police had great difficulty in suppress ing the disorder.

Is Due to Come Up at That Time Before Judge
 Philpot.
BOTH SIDES READY
Liquor Men Hae Made Prima Facic Case and Burden Will Come
 From Rem0nstrants,

Unless there is some unforeseen difficulty to arise in the mainline, the liquor petition hearing will be taken up before County Judge c. M. Philpot tomorrow morning.
 It is believed that the hearing will be taken up despite the act that there will more than likely be a de- cision rendered by the Supreme Court within the next few days on the con- stitutionality of the Going act. If the Supreme Court holds that the Going act is unconstitutional it will serve to place the liquor license matter back again to the former basis of where the county judge passed upon the matter. In on the other hand the law is held to be constitutional |, it will require that the issuance of li- censes will be governed by the ma jority of white adult inhabitants in a city or town.
 The fight so far as Pine Bluff is concerned is practically the same as at the commencement of the fight some months ago, with the excep- tion that the liquor petitioners have now made out what is prima facie case as to their side of the contention and the orly evidence which will be presented will be on behalf of the remonstrants.
 With the aid of the second petition which was secured, the liquor inter- ests think that they have majority of the white adult inhabitants and on the other hand the prohibitionists claim that they will be able to uphold their contention as to there not being a majority of names.

ALL PRIMED AND
 FIT FOR ELECTION State, District and City Races Are to Be
 Decided. Q U EFT IS PROMISED Indications Are That Sm0Othness and Lack of Excitement Will Prevail
 Throughout This Section.
Q LII EFT IS PROMISED

Considering the fact that there is a rather big primary on for today, in which state, district and city officials are to be selected, there was com paratively little interest being shown. This, it appears, has been brought about by the fact that in some of the races there is no opposition, and a feeling possibly on the part of the voters that all they can do is to go to the polls today and register their vote.
 The greater portion of interest naturally lies in the race for the United States senatorship between the present incumbent, James P. Clarke, and State Supreme Judge w. F. Kirby. The fight between them over the state has waXed rather warm and each side has had a force of workers in the field to influence the vote of the state.
 For Pine Bluff the election, out side of the senatorial contest, centers more largely in the races for circuit judge of the Eleventh judicial dis trict, for prosecuting attorney, city at torney, with hardly so much interest in the races for aldermen as the Op- position does not extend to the entire field.
 In the main it will be possible in the issue of The Graphic of Thursday morning to give the results of the election locally and through the state. The returns from some points will not be complete, but there will be the greater portion of them in during the
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1914-03-25

early morning hours to insure the re- suit, unless some of the races deve- Top into neck and neck affair.
 The refusal of those ill charge to allow the list of those who are plac- ed on the ballot as candidates for the county convention, to be given out, has occasioned considerable comment. This has not been the GUS tom heretofore, and much surprise was occasioned when it became known that this method was to be pursued.

Tons of Dynamite Placed About Be. 1eagmered City Cause Belief That
 It Was Impregnable.

Gomez Palacio, March 23.-"On to Mexico City" is now the cry of Villa. With a series of brilliant victories to his credit and almost the entire half of northern Mexico under his sway, he plans now to quickly attack Mazatalan, Salti.la and Monterey, and, if those cities fall, make hasty march on the capital. With the .e?. ture of Torreon added to the victor ies at Chihuahua, Ojiniga and Juarez, and many smaller places, the rebels
 The rebels began their victorious march on Tcrreon proper shortly be- fore daybreak. Gen. Benavizes ad- vanced from the east and immediately began shelling the city. Gen Villa came forward from Gomez PalaCio with the main body of his troops and almost completely invested the city.
 The first footing in the town was gained by Gen. Benarens' forces. They captured two wards and carried the battle into the streets of 'rcr- rean. The federals made desperate resistance and poured a deadly fire into the rebels from door ways and housetops
 Rebels Effective.
 Heavy smoke could be seen arising from Torreon this afternoon, while the bombardraent was n progress. Several fires were believed to have been started by the rebel shells. They used an explosive shell that did startling execution. Their fire was well directed probably hy foreign artillerymen. Shortly before g o'clock today terrific explosion was heard just north of Torrsaa. 1t was reported here as being a federal mine, which was set off at the approach of the compact body of raoes who were led into trap. rhere was vast network of mines surrounding the city. The mines are believed to nave

 The general artillery fire of the rebels was directed by G.n. Angeles, minister of war in the Cons.itutioni.l- ist cabinet. He persoa.' y directed the disposal of many Of tue h5avy guns, and continually urged the marksmen to attain greater accur- acy. He did not want single s..ell wasted.
 All through the day bathches of wounded Constitutionalists were carried through Gomez-Palacio, 10 the field hospital south of Cermejillo. Numbers of captured federals were also rushed to the rear.
