$1OO,0O0,O0O Worth
OF American Horses
To Be Cannon Fodder
BY FRED L. BOALT

Captain, the Count de Les
TRANCE is buying horses for the
French army. He has the able
assistance of M. Henri Lafinte.
Captain the Count is taciturn
soldier, hedging himself with an
austerity which effectively keeps
at a distance inquiring reporters
M. Henri Lafinte, being a mere
horse-trader, is less naughty and
much, much more loquacious.
ITO me 1t seems gr r-eat
pity" said Henri Lafinte.
What seemed a great pity?
The sturdy little French horse
trader gulped. The war-the
slaughter of horseflesh. 1t made
him inexpressibly sad to think of
It. Lafinte loves a good horse.
And he and Captain the Count
will buy none but good horses.
And what happens to these good
American horses? They die
surely, violently, quickly.
This much l gathered from La
finite, the sad: The French have
bought 10000 American horses
for the war. The British have
bought $4,000. The Germans are
buying through Italian agents.
Captain the Count and Lafinte,
alone, of all the French buyers
roaming the states, have bought
$1,000 horses.
And these horses are gunfod-
der. THE LIFE OF A HORSE
ON THE BATTLE LINE is
FROM FOUR TO TEN DAYS.
The artillery horse cannot expect
to escape death more than four
days after reaching the front. A
cavalry horse may survive ten.
The price paid per horse is
about 5000. This, American
dealers regard as too little, but
the buyers haye strict orders as
to price as well as to the charac-
ter of the horse wanted.
1t costs the French government
another 800 to land a horse in

What South American
Countries Need Is New
Blood, Writes Babson
BY Roger w. Babson

LIMA, Peru, May 81 went
out into the mountains and saw
the native Indians living and
working. / saw mules actually
treading out the grain with their
hoofs as in old Bible times. l
saw the caravans coming in from
the desert as they are seen in
northern Africa.
But of all, let me tell you what
made the greatest impression on
me.
In front of each tiny abode hut
in which lives a family of Indi-
ans, is round corrall 20 feet in
diameter and bordered with 4
few stones loosely laid around so
as to make rough wall about
a foot high. I saw these minia-
ture circus rings in front of each
native hut. Upon asking, / found
they are to keep the stock in at
night. The animals have SO little
lift that they will not step over
these few stones.
Not Like DOnkeys
The chief beast OF burden out
here in the mountains is the
Llama, an animal which looks Ike
great big sheep with long
neck and small head. The Llamas
feed and take care of themselves.
Hence, the appeal greatly to
these lazy people.
Imagine good North
American horse, donkey or
any other kind of an animal
being kept out of the corn
by few loose stones made
into a rough wall less than q
foot high!
Yet the difference between
the animals of North and South
America Is no greater than that
between the men. AS I travel
about the world I am convinced
that, in a given locality, both the
domestic animals and the men
have the same traits.

HEAVY SNOWFALL
 VISITS THE COAST
Storm Is General Along the Coast and Extends Into Interior, Where
 Weather Is Colder.

The old saw that when March comes in like a lamb it will go out like a lion held true this year so far as the coast section of Alaska was concern ed. March l was one of the pleasant est days of early spring, with the mer- cury standing at 35 above and clear sun shining. March 31 was just the reverse, and April, as far as it has gone, shows no signs of improving. The snowfall during the past 24 hours has been the heaviest of the winter and will furnish property owners with plenty of exercise in removing it from the sidewalks.
 The storm is general all over the coast section and extends into the in- terior, as will be seen by the weath- CT report in another column. The officers of the Northwestern report heavy fall of snow visiting Cordova when the steamer was there yester- day afternoon.

During the night he was unable to pick up land and drift ed until morning, being unable to find safe anchorage in the storm.
 Since being in Valdez the North western has been overhauled and re. fitted at a cost of $S0,000 She was converted into an oil burner and pro- vided with double bulkheads, making her one of the safest vessels plying the waters of the Pacific.
 When the Northwestern left Seat tie she carried one of the heaviest passenger lists of any steamer during the season. Her passengers from Seattle for Valdez were: George Ho- bart, M. o. Goodner, Mrs. Goodner, B. F. Towle, and twenty-three steerage.
