war This number is in addition to the
horses necessary for the cavalry, as
well as the transportation OF mucn OF
the artillery.
The total number of horses employed
in connection with the armies of the
belligerents in Europe is said to be
about 100000. 1t is estimated that the
allies alone employ $500. 600, divided as
follows: England, 100000; France.
10000; Italy, 100000. and Russia. S00.-
900. The central powers are also said
to employ 100000 horses. During the
first year and half of the present war
European belligerents purchasd from
this country 67S, ,443 horss and mules, at
at cost of s131.s1i,Ooo.
It IS proposed to model the work of
the American Red Star somewhat after
that now operated in connection with the
various countries of Europe, especially
the British method. In England the
voluntary relief work is officially car
ried on by the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Crulty to Animals.
That society had erected three great
army veterinary hospitals, accom-
modating from 1000 to 1880 horses
each; also a temporary shelter for 500
horses 1t furnished total Of fifty
horse ambulances for army horse serv-
ice, also two motor trucks to distribute
fodder and supplies for the sick and in
tured animals from the railroad sta
tions. It supplied thousands of loin
clothes, rugs, surcingles. bandages and
other necessary equipment for the
veterinary hospitals, camps and depots.
1t also distributed gratuitously more
than 100, 900 copies of a work on First
Aid for Horses. as well as providing
for many lectures of instructions given
to soldiers who handle horses, on the
proper care of their animals.
; Up to April last. 1t Is stated that 150.-
600 horses were treated by this organi-
zation, out OF which number 10000
animals were returned as cured. With

own needs. In peace times, the big
German liners were moored at Rosario
and carried much of the wheat.
In former years Liverpool fixed the
price of wheat for the Argentine pro-
ducer, just as for the American pro-
ducer and the Canadian producer. With
the allies controlling the ocean. the
price is now fixed in London and Paris
by the two governments, rather than
in Liverpool by normal economic re-
quirements of demand and supply.
At the outset of the war the Ar
gentfne wheat growers looked for a
very profitable market for their grain
as well as for their beef. The first year
they got fair price. Last year. how

the demand for Argentine wheat and
many spectators were ruined, while
the producers also suffered. The ex-

the wheat they wanted and nobody else
seemed to want any, or, il they did,
there were no ships to transport it.

fere' with the purchases of its allied
neighbors. French firms, with Paris
connections, even before the war, had
been the chief handlers of the Argen-
tine wheat crop. Consequently there
was no difficulty in working out the
plans of the French government in con-
junction with the British and the Ital-
ian governments.
The Argentine wheat growers and the
dealers showed much bitterness toward
the allies on account of their course,
although the Argentine people, for the
most part, sympathized with them IN
the war. This bitterness has not been
entirely allayed.
There have been demands that the
Argentine government take measures
to insure that this years crop shall
bring more money into the country
than last years crop brought. Just
but a section of the Argentine public
is very pronounced in it's demand that
something be done. Possibly. the nat

allay the bitterness.
Some of the Argentine wheat raiserS
and some of the public men would like

auence of the present situation. become
a steady purchaser of Argentine wheat.
They argue that it would facilitate
commerce between the countries and
especially would increase the pur-

Capt. Wilson Buys Hotel

Captain Horace Wilson, owner of the
line of ferry boats which ply between
Wilmington and Penns Grove, has
bought French's Hotel for SIS, 900. He is
a former Mayor OF Wilmington and the
manager of the Wilson Line OF steam
boats which ply between Wilmington
and Philadelphia.
Capt. Wilson expects to extend Penns
Grove wharf 800 feet further into the
river next spring SO that boats drawing
deep water can land at low tide. The
ferry boats get aground occasionally when
the tide is made low by north west winds.
Capt. Wilson will improve the premises
aid make it a popular pleasure resort.
Itihas been announced that no applica-
tion will be made for a licensed tavern
nor as a liquor saloon.
As the river will continue to be dredg-
ed, it is hoped that Capt. Wilson will ex-
tend the wall OF the grove and have il
filled in.
Edward Maher, OF Philadelphia, had
bargained for the hotel last September
for 500, 900 when the license was attack
ed and revoked. He had also partly
bsrgained for it and opened it for dodgers
the last week in December.
