WAR CREATES BIG DEMAND FOR
HORSES
Continued from page ~

tOohtlnued from page ID
The rapacious consumption of horses
In war is illustrated by figures from
our own civil conflict. During his
Shenandoah valley campaign, Sheridan
was supplied with fresh horses at the
rate of $50 per day. Tn his report for
the year 1865 the quartermaster gen.
efal of the U. s. army stated: I" The
service of cavalry horse under an
ehterprising commander has averaged
only four months.''
During 1864 there were 500 horses
consumed per day in the northern army
without considering those captured and
not reported. During eight months of
the army of the Potomac was remount-
ca twice, nearly 10000 horses in all be-
ing required.
Our Own Army Desirable Market.
OUR own army furnished q desirable
market for we'll bred horses there be-
.ng under the remount system at least
0ooo horses required annually to sup
ply Doth army and national guard.
mere are now about 10000 horses in
Our regular army on peace basis. In
war many more would be required be-
,ofc the first engagement There is,
,nereiore, a steady market for good
,Oises independent of the European

poser which has reduced the number
v horses on our streets has not influ-
'nced this demand. In fact, the price
y horses has advanced along with
'nef commodities during recent years.

GUNS AND FoRTIFlcATloNs

On the islands, to defend the canal
and along our coasts we are now pro-
posing to spend millions in addition
to those already spent on scientific
Notifications and steel bombproofs.
Are we watching the results of ex-
periments that might be making for
our profit over the water? The forts
We may build will not be attacked un-
less bigger guns than theirs can be
brought against them; is it not plain
that no fortress can be built that will
long sustain the impact of modern
shells of heavy caliber? The lesson
has been repeated often enough-at
Liege, at Namur, at Maubeuge, at
Longwy and at Antwerp. Why spend
millions for the construction of de-
fensive works that must be abandoned
when seriously attacked?
But the allies held the line of the
Marine against the guns that bowled
over the forts-the Germans held the
line OF the Aisne, and both sides are
holding the User lines. What is the
lesson here delivered? Very plainly
that rifle pits and .breastworks will
hold when forts fall down-the money
spent on forts is wasted in very large
measure while the soldiers can hold
his rifle pit. The observations CT
the coming month may also show that
the dreadnaught is delusion to be
! brushed aside by the little submarine
let us live to learn as well as to
spend. Suppose we had been foolish
. enough to take the advice of those
who urged us to follow the example
set in Europe; is there on of those
prepared nations that is not in hole
just now?-Times-U Union.

LA TOILETTE ON WILSON

Incidentally, the country rejcices
that Wilson is president, not Roose-
Welt, whose recently expressed atti-
tude towards disarmament confirms
this judgment. The accommodating and
increasing horrors Of the European
wars are creating great tidal wave
of public opinion that sweeps aside
all specious reasoning and admits OF
cut one simple common-sense, humane
conclusion-a demand for peace and
disarmament among civilized nations"
The author Of this just and proper
sentiment is Robert NJ. La Toilette,
not so long hero of Rooseyelt's,
showered with praise by that dispens-
er Of blame and of rewards. Mr.. La
Toilette is nothing if net keen OBJ
server of political currents and pop
ular opinion, and in his weekly he
declares that President Wilson to
day holds a supreme place in the con-
fldence of the people of the United
States" which is summed up in the
simple phrase, "He is keeping us out
of war" The praise Senator La Fol-
lette bestows upon him and Mr.. Bryan
is unreserved. Those who, like Mr..
Roosevelt, Knocked at Mr.. Wilson's
Mexican policy now offer I'D PRAYERS
of thanksgiving" that we were spared
a war in Mexico. AS for the peace
treaties, negotiated by Mr.. Bryan,
which Mr.. Roosevelt declares that
they constituted a great service to
the human race" From cur chserva-
ton of press and public, we believe
that Senator La Toilette is correct in
his estimate of what the public is
thinking. We can not but feel that
Mr.. Roosevelt's rehashing of his mis-
taken militaristic theories just at this
time is as grave political mistake as
any of the many that he has recently
made and that have caused his friends
to wonder what has become of his
once great political skill and intuitive
knowledge of public opinion.-New
York Evening Post.

GERMAN ESTIMATE OF ENGLISH
SOLDIERS

The following dispatch, published
in. the Hamburger "Nachrichten,'
gives for the first time an estimate of
the English soldier from the German
point of view.
Tommy Atkins is really not poor
soldier, after ALL. he is not bad fel.
law" says this critic. "He is even
better than he is commonly reputed
to be. Good treatment, good food and
lively spirit redeem many of the
good qualities of the English nation
in the average soldier. Tommy
Atkins is prone to take matters light
! ly. He does not lack personal cour.
age in attack, but the thing he does
lack are the finer points of military
discipline, which can only be attained
by innate moral conviction. He will
not tolerate constraint. In this re-
spect the German soldier is far SUI
perior, especially in the matter of
small arms and accoutrements. The
English officers are natty and clever,
but most of them lack the technique
of a through military training. The
| general staff in England is recent
institution; hence but a very small
number of English officers have mast
; cred the intricacies of vast import
! ance are to be dealt with, as their ex-
perience is limited only to observa-
ton during maneuvers.
CAS- to the ways and means in COM
missary management, transportation,
etc., the English officer knows little
or nothing. Real organization, down
to the minutest particular, is not his
strong point
"a more unlike couple than the
English and French soldier standing
shoulder to shoulder is almost incon-
ceivable. For centuries the English
man as fighter has been regarded
as superior to the French; but today
the French are playing the part of
tutor to the English. Considering
that neither officer nor private ENG
lish and French) can understand each
other, owing to difference in manners
and CUSTOMS also that the people,
whether in France or Belgium, stick
to their own kind and throw all the
weight of their sympathy to the
French troops, it leaves no doubt that
the alliance is difficult for the Eng
lish soldier-and must in the end lead
to misunderstanding"

AGAIN THE SUBMARINE

The reported destruction by sub
marine attack of the Russian cruiser
Pallada with, if confirmed, bring the
total of such successful under water
assaults to eight, the British being
credited with two and the Germans
with six, the advantage, particularly
as to the war Importance of the dam
age, resting with the latter. Without
in any way seeking to minimize the
intrepidity and competency display
ed it must be granted, however, that
the conditions under, which in nearly
every instance, the death stroke was
delivered appeared to have been ideal
for this assault.
In the case of the Aboukir, the Cres-
sy and the Hogue, the German sub
marine or submarines employed were
able to locate the targets with such ac-
curacy that they approached and dis
charged the twin torpedoes and the
four reserve weapons "at range that
made missing difficult" The rapid
ty with which the British cruisers
succumbed proves not only this but
gives weight to earlier and persistent
rumors that the Germans had new
compound more destructive than the
trotyl, or T. n. T., supposed TO be
the STANDARD explosive for their mines
and torpedo war heads.
1t is OF Importance to note that In
the Baltic adventures both the Admit
raj Makaroff on the previous day and
the Bryan on the very day that the
Pallada was sunk had successfully
stood off or lucky escaped destruction
by the same division of submarines.
This somewhat cold comfort in one
sense, though it does seem to show
| that while very dangerous auxiliaries
some are now calling them princi-
pals-submarines are neither irresisti-
| BILE nor infallible in their operations.
1t is yet very premature to lose our
old faith in the gun as the supreme
! instrument at sea war.-New York
| Herald.

NO THIRD DEGREE" CONFESSION
FOR JUDGE BEN HILL
special to the Ocala Banner:

Special to the Ocala Banner:
Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 20.-A third de-
gree" confession does not amount to
anything, and is illegal, according to
the ruling of Judge Ben Hill of the
superior court.
Frank Wright, a negro, accused of
burglary. admitted that he had con-
fessed to the crime, but that he was
innocent, and had confessed purely
because Sergeant Billiard of the po-
lice department had slapped him dur
ing the examination.
Judge Hill told the jury to disre-
gard all testimony as to the negro's
confession, saying it would have no
bearing on. the case, and Wright was
acquitted.
The court took occasion to express
its distrust of the brutal methods of
the third degree" and the lack of
faith in any statements made under
terror of threats.

TIT FOR TAT

Says the Lakeland Telegram:
A German subscriber to the Pensa.
cola Journal writes a caustic letter
to that paper because it spoke of the
kaiser as responsible for the war, and
thinks the Journals expression OF
opinion inconsistent with the neutral.
ity of this country. On this joint the
Journal gets back at him with a
knockout blow in this fashion:
CAS- to the neutrality about which
our correspondent writes, we have
only to say that if this neutrality in
expression means anything at all ii
is as binding on our German friends
who now enjoy liberty, peace and
happiness under the Stars and the
Stripes as upon the millions of Amer
leans whose sympathies are not
bound by direct blood ties with any of
the contending countries. Neutrality
does not mean that all persons and
papers of German blood or sympathy
in America have the right to faunt
their opinion broadcast while the rest
of us are compelled to keep quiet

The sky with its beauty; our heart

To the low, sweet chant of its wind

And the chorus of all its clustered

Embrace it, o mothers! and heroes
shall grow,
While its colors blush warm on your
bosom Of snow.
Defend it o fathers; there's no sweet

Than to float its fair folds with sol

And love it, o children! be true TO
the Sires
Who woye it in plain By the old camp
