IT, HAS PLENTY OF
HORSES FOR ARMIES
Thousands Are Available For
Export Before Scarcity Will
Be Felt.

Washington, Special: Undoubtedly,
h United States can continue to sup
ply the warning nations of Europe with
thousands of horses and mules without
causing the shoe to pinch. Officials of
the department of agriculture agreed
to his today, but refused to hazard an
estimate as to just how many of the
animals this country can spare without
feeling q bad effect at home from the
expectations.
George M. Rommell. chief of the bu-
reau of animal industry, of the depart
ment OF agriculture, explained that the
last animal census taken showed that
there We're "a, 000,0 00 horses and 4, 500, 600
mules in the United States.
The census showed IN increase of s
per cent in the horses and mules of
the country between 1900 and 1910. And
there has been q steady increase since
1910, Mr.. Ronlmell declared. The de-
cade between the last census and the
one which preceded it also shows, Mr..
Rommell explained, a decrease in the
country's cattle of 8 per cent, showing
that tho pasture lands which had been
formerly used in the raising OF cattle
had been turned into agricultural
lands, on Which more horses were
needed.
Officials of the department OF agri-
culture are watching with interest the
purchase of horses by the agents of
governments IN st. Louis
n other large horse and mule marts.
They explain that French and Eng
lish agents are buying thousands of
animals, realizing the need of horses
for cavalry and draft purposes as the
a continues. Many horse dealers
have written the department to inquire
whether or not the expectation of the
animals for war purposes will continue
to remain within the scope of neutral
ity. 1t seems to be the impression in
some quarters that, despite the fact
that horses and mules are considered
"~conditional contraband" are liable
to capture in transit, that the Ger
man government, which has very little
much chance at the present time of
capturing he animals in transit. may
sooner or later cause some difficulty by
a%djudging the animals contraband in
the strictest sense of the word.

The fairies and the COLLINS, as you
