ST, 100000 HORSES
GIVEN TO ENGLAND
Government Will Breed Animals
on Walker Farm.

London. Dec. 2.-Colonel William
Hall Walker, NJ. p, has presented to
the nation his famous breeding farm
for race horses at Tully, Kildare, and
his training stables at Russly Parks,
Wiltshire, the government undertaking
to purchase the land at its own valua-
ton.
Colonel Walkers stable includes the
stations, White Eagle, which won the
City and Suburban Handicap at EPSON
in 1909, and Royal Realm, another
great stake horse, and some of the most
famous brood mares in the country.
The valuation of the stable before
the war was 100000 (sl,000,000), and
had Colonel Walkers offer to the gov
eminent not been accepted the horses
would have been sold tomorrow at
Newmarket. IL Is estimated that even
at the present time they would have
brought 100000.
The acceptance by the government
means that it intends to initiate state
horse breeding, as is done by the gov
ernments OF France, Russia and Ger
many. Heretofore many of the best
horses in England have been sold
abroad, but with the government IN tne
market it is believed this practice will
be stopped, or that at least the pick Of
the horses on sale will find their way
to the government breeding farm.
William Hall Walker is known in
England as a follower of all the sports
and pastimes and as a breeder OF nu-
merous race horses which made notable
records in winnings. Notable among
them was Minoru, which won the Derby
for King Edward; the Soarer, which
won the Grand National Steeplechase,
and Glen Royal, which he rode him
self, which won the House of Com
mons Lightweight Steeplechase. In
1907 Colonel Walker headed the list
of winning owners on the English turf.
He is an honorary colonel of the I'd
Brigade, Lancaster Division Of the
Royal Artillery.

mo man exists primarily for the
sake Of defending himself" says Pro-
lessor Hooking. "He exists for the
sake of doing things. The same is
true Of nations. Among the things
which a man may be called on to do
are the helping and protecting OF
others. We Americans have passed
our national infancy; it is no longer
our chief biological function to feed,
fatten and protect ourselves.
"Unless we wish to invite national
atrophy and decline, we must make up
our minds TO do a mans part in the
hard work of the world. We are called
upon and must be prepared to do our
work in enforcing peace. And we have
already been called upon to our shame
TO speak up for the principles we nave
professed. We must be able to speak
and be listened TO when questions OF
international law and common humanl-
~ are at stake. .,
Military training Is the other hall
of ali education of character. Train
ing of the will must begin with control
of the body, and our universities nave
all but dropped the development OF the
will by habit.
"The best time for military training
is that interval between preparatory
school and college. For the man al
ready In college, the practical con-
alteration Is to find or make some
place in his plans for this important
part of education"

lated that the Crown should pay the
amount of the appraisement Of the ship
into the court should final adjudication
in the case be against the British gov
eminent. Dispatches received by Coun-
sellor Polk, Of the State Department,
