1t is doubtful whether any great pro-
portion of the animals used in actual
warfare will come from the United
States, although there is no doubt that
efforts will be made by all of the bel
ligerents to secure remounts here. 1t
is likely, too. that attempts will be
made to buy horses here for farm pur-
poses abroad: At the present high price
of horses, with the additional cost of
shipping and high war risk insurance,
the outlook for this commerce is not

until after the war. when the demand
will be enormous for the reha bilitation
of the European stock.
The last war in which the American
horse figured to an important extent
was the Boer war in which. England
purchased about 100000 horses, as well
as a large number OF mules from this
country.

~ ESPITE the wonderful development
of the automobile for war pur-
- poses. the horse is still one of the
monarchs of the battlefield. The big
problem that confronts the general staffs
of the nations involved in the European
war is the important task of finding fresh
horses to take the place Of those that
give out under the strain. 1t is the ex-
perience of armies that horses must be
replaced far more frequently than men
In fact. four months has in the past been
considered an average time Of service for
an army horse in actual warfare. With
the increased strain Of such fighting as
has figured in the present conflict. this
may be cut to three months.
In that case-the war being now in
its third month--it is easy to see how
vital the remount question really is.
For a completely modified German army
it is estimated that 750. 900 horses are nee
essary. At least that many more are
required by the allies. On that basis
there are now with the forces in the
field approximately 100000 horses.
Where do these horses come from and
where are their successors to be found ?
1t is safe to say that the general staff
in each country has been as busy re-
cruiting horses as recruiting men. Ac-
cording to the latest available statis-
tics of the nations engaged in the
present war, the allies have. in Eu-
rope, 30.SS2.000 head. Besides. they
have in Asia. in Japan, Siberia and
British India over 13.553.000. OF these
and 1.711,000 in her Asiatic territory.
France has 3,222,000; Belgium 263, 900,
and Servia, $4,000.

tary authorities will turn to a heavier
rifle and a larger bullet. By allowing
an increase in the weight of the gun it
may be possible to increase the powder

high that the trajectory will be fat
enough to make the danger zone 600 to
