In March. 1914, the fire loss in the
United States and Canada. as compil..
ed by the Journal of Commerce ard
Commercial Bulletin. was $l87S6A00.
The March loss this year bids fair to
outdo in volume that of anv March in
the last six years at least. Estimating
it at 0,O00, 900, the aggregate for the
first quarter of the current year would
be $50, OO0,000; and if the losses in the
remainder of this year do not exceed
those in the same period last year the
total for the year may reach. $Zlo,-
100000, or $30,0O0!O0o more than, in
1915.

Horses. when turned out to pas
ture. are more prone to take their
rest lying down than when confined
In stable stalls, but even when prac-
tieauy free from human restrain,
and observation. or any likelihood OF
danger. they seldom take more than
an hour each night in the recum-
bent position. and that period is gen
orally INDUCED in al about mid
night.
A noted veterinarian says: There
are some curious facts regarding the
disposition of horses in matter OF
lying down. To hArd-worSing

necessity as food and water. but

the animals are constantly under

and In other cases the conclusions
were arrived at because no marks Of
the bedding we're found upon their
coats nov recau an instance Of
horse that stood in a stall nsXr

one ever saw that animal lying down
within period Of fifteen years. and

Il Is a theory-only vague suppo-
siJi0u-,hat horse sleeps standing
because he fears that insect or mice
lAy creep up his nostrils Il is also
Known that the elephant has the
same horror Of mic. and that a small
rodent can cause more CONSERVATION

WASHINGTON, d. C., July 3.-The
National Guard OF Hawaii Is to be
given q clean bill Of health, with a
few kind words OF eulogy and COM
nendation added for good measure.
That organization is 70 be officially
pronounced IN good condition and cap
able Of rendering high-grade service
in an emergency.
!. This Is the opinion privately hand
ed out BY high officials of the War
Department. The occasion will be
final disposition Of the report subnit-
ted by Lieut.. Whitener. II has been
passed up and down the line and now
occupies the position Of discarded
white elephant. . Nobody can be
found who believes &c should meet
with approval. On the contrary the
unanimous sentiment favors its rele-
cation to gloomy pigeonhole, with a
frank statement that the militia Of
the territory Is IN good shape and
equal TO any duty that might be Inn
posed upon II.
VIII Let II Drop. s...ss !.
Some OF the many Hawaii people
WHO ndfC y N00ktC0 ~ M otA bAAAo SAsd
recently visited the War Department
and discussed the whitener report
They pointed out its harshness and
inaccuracies. AN Of them spoke a
word or two OF praise for the militia.
In turn they were assured that the re-
port would be disposed Of In the most
Diplomatic and quiet manner possible.
Officials said II would bring the sub
ject too prominently forward II any
steps were taken TO punish Lieut..
whitener for making the report and
the better course would be to let the
matter drop with an exoneration Of
the territorial organization.
Il has been accepted as conclusive
by, all those from Hawaii who called
at the War Department that this
program VIII be made effective. They
expect TO see q formal statement Civ
en- out praising the Hawaiian National
Guard and pronnuncing 1t efficient,
competent and fitted to perform any
emergency service for which it may
be required.
