By United Press.
London, Sept -(By mail to New
York. Tommy Atkins wear paja-
mas? Well, not if he can help it. And
he will help it unless he is sick or
wounded and in that case he doesn't
care. Out on the firing line and in
camp, though, when he sleeps Tommy
Atkins is going to use his shirt as a
night garment. That's final, he AYERS.
Which is all in answer to rumpus
that has been kicked because the Brit

Mary's Needlework Guild have includ-
ed such things as "pajamas" and

quirements for the war Tommy At

things for? Might be all right for the
officers, he thought, but not for him
Aroused by the criticism offered, Of
ficials of the Red Cross society and
Woman's Guild stated that the paja-
mas were ordered for hospital service
and not for III soldiers in the field.
The paiamas, they said could be worn
by the wounded while they were con-
fined in the hospital.
One soldier, who has seen service
through several campaigns, smiled
grmly when pajamas we're mentioned
to him.
"They may be all right" he said,
"but but give me warm shirt. It's

Warning Nations Call on America
to Supply Animals Estimates
Of the Vast Number Need-
ed are Given
ALREADY BUYING
In THIS COUNTRY
Department Of Agriculture Predicts
Demand May Continue 10 Years
orMore : American Amy Re-
quires 5000 Horses Annually

washington, Oct. S.-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, according to in
vestigators Of the U. s. department OF
agriculture, as not only will horses be
needed for armies, but when peace is
restored, more will be needed for agrl-
culture. Already European agents
are said to be endeayoring to pur-
chase horses in this country and Can
ada, and there is an increased interest
in many sections in horse breeding.
The United States has previously
been drawn on to supply European
countries at war. In the Boer war over
100000 horses We're brought here By
the British government. 1t may be
doubted whether foreign government
could now obtain similar supply in
this country, except at excessive cost
However, If farmers take pains to util-
ize their good mares during this vim
ter to breed them to good stations. in
he course OF several years (time
enough for the foaIs to Develop.
America will be better able to meet
the European demand
1t is natural that European countries
should look tc the United States for
horses, as next to Russia it has more
of these animals than any other coun-
try in the world The United States
and Russia possess So per cent of the
world supply. Strange to say, how
ever, there we're no horses originally
on our continent. and the present sup
ply comes from stock brought over
from Europe. Canada's supply is small
compared to our own.
The German army requires for
complete mobilization 10000 horses
and the French army Is said to require
250,000 which figure, however, prob
ably includes only those for the cav
airy. 1t is conservatiyely estimated
on good authority that 100000 horses
are now engaged in the European war.
AS the great majority OF these horses
are not included in the permanent mil
itary organization but are used for
farm work and are requisitioned by
governments only when needed for
military purposes, the countries OF
continental Europe will certainly face
an acute shortage of farm horses be-
fore the next planting season which
will seriously affect theprice Of horses
the world over, as soon as peace is
declared.
According to the best information
horses in the countries of Europe now
at war number as follows:
