LIKE HORSES OF DARK COLOR
General Opinion Of Army Men ls That
Mounts Of Light coIors Are
Dangerous.

The color line is being drawn by
the army in the purchase Of horses.
1t has not been drawn in favor OF
white or light-colored horses, but
against them, and in favor of sor-
rels, browns, bays, and even blacks.
Because Of their visibility white and
gray horses are not considered desir-
able for mounts. In the field they
are mark for sharpshooters, and on
this account the quartermaster corps
has stopped purchasing light-colored
horses. Officers are permitted to pur-
chase gray horses if they care to take
the chances of being shot in the
event that they are on the firing
line, but the inspector generals de-
partment has condemned the gen.
eral use of gray horses in the army.
This, however, does not prevent
many of the officers of the army
from riding gray horses, and they
have refused to draw the color line.
Some of the members of the general
staff are advocating the issuance of
general order prohibiting the use
of gray or light-colored horses in the
army, as they claim that with even
few officers on light-colored mounts
the enemy will be able to locate a
regiment or company which might
be on scout duty. The question
whether gray horse is officially re-
garded as a suitable mount for an
officer has been the subject of lively
controversy at at least one army post.
