HORSE FLESH
MARKET SAILS
HIGH SN|F FTLY
$50. 900 HORSES BOUGHT In
AMERICA FOR THE
WAR ZONE

Though little more than half a year
has gone by since the shipment OF
horses to the European war zone set
in, approximately 100000 have already
been purchased in the United States.
They are now going out at the rate
Iof about $4,000 a month, or 420,00 a
year, with no sign of let up until
the war ends, so that anybody can
readily see what may happen If the
struggle goes on until one side or the
other stops from exhaustion. The
possibility that this country may lose
100000 horses as a result OF the CON
.flict is thus rapidly becoming a
probability, for everybody seems to
be agreed that England, France and
Germany must buy very large num-
Der Of horses after the war ends to
replace those taken from their own
people for military purposes.
The records of the department of
commerce show that more than lO5,-
900 horses were exported during the
first three months of 1915. April ex-
ports are not yet fully ascertained,
but rae estimated at $4,000 head The
total exports last year were, In round
numbers, $4,000 head, as compared
with $4,000 head in 1913. Practically
all of the horses shipped to Europe
last year were purchased for military
purposes.
France, England Italy, Switzerland,
Roumania and perhaps other coun-
tries, have been among the buyers.
It is estimated that they have paid
something like $500OO,O00 for the
horses purchased. That prices have
adanved only few dollars for GER
tain classes of horses and not at all
for others, is pretty good proof that
the United States can keep on supply
ing horses for the greatest war in
history as long as the European ma
tions want to buy them. But all the
market experts are predicting very
much higher prices for all classes of
horses as soon as the business OF the
country comes back to a normal con
dition.

New York. May "a Club women
of this city were either indignant or
amused at the assertion Of former
Representative William S. Bennett OF
this city that the woman of today Is
heavier drinker than her sister Of
yesterday Mr. Bennet made that
statement in Philadelphia.
Mrs. Helen J. Ondruss. secretary OF
the New York branch of the Wom-

said she thought it was outrageous
for any person to make such a state
ment when there were no statistics
to prove his contention.
81 have frequently heard people
say the modern woman was drinking
more than she ought to, but ! have
not noticed any perceptible tendency
in that direction" she said to a re-
porter for The World Il do think,
however. that the men are drinking
less than they used to. or rather that
there are fewer drinking men than
there used to be- Business demands
are responsible for that. because the
economic world is drawing the line
SO closely against men who drink to
excess"
Miss Lucille Pugh, a successful
lawyer, says she liked to drink-milk.
