Shortage of Army Horses

LION the army. including the modified
L l National Guard. is to be equipped with
horses. is Il question the War Department is
unable 10 answer NJ this time. Reports show
that, though there are some 1000, 900 head
or horses IN tho United States, only very
small percentage OF thcse-30. 900, accord
lng TO the quartermast er general OF the army
arc OF the proper type for military service
ct the War Department already has appli-
cations for $4,000 horses for immediate cav
airy and light artillery service.
OF course. the automobile is responsible to
some extent for the decrease in the breeding
or horses OF the cavalry type, and the huge
shipments to Europe and Canada since the
outbreak of the war have further diminish ed
the supply. Back OF all this, however is
the fact that our small standing army has
made no demand for systematic typc- breed
ing. Governmental studs in tho military
countries have kept up the standard as far
as possible. while in this country onlv a
trifilng appropriation for experimental Dur
poses has been made within the last three
years II, as may be the case. large num-
bers Of cavalry are required for Mexican SCR
vice, The need for systematic horse breeding
under governmental direction will become so
apparent as TO compel the adoption OF meas
ures looking 10 the future.

Easement Sentence Not Our AFFAIR

CENATOR NLARTINE'S resolution request
~ ing the President to ask the British gov
ernment for Il stay OF the execution OF Sir
Roger Easement would. if adopted, involve
both Congress and the President in matter
entirely beyond the province of either. The
man Is a British subject, and he has been
tried IN England, 10y jury of Englishmen,
for crime against Great Britain.

attempt At interference by this government
with case that falls so wholly within Eng
lands exclusive jurisdiction. Senator Mar
tine is convinced that due regard to justice

"UndiIutcd Amcricnnism"

HE platform Of each of tho three political
parties contains planks cXalting Ameri-
canism. Each of them rededicates itself to
the principle of America first, last and all
the time. There is serious difference be-
tween them upon this proposition and ap-
parcntly no difference between the followers
OF the various party standards.
This reduces the issue TO one Of candi-
dacies. 1t is wholly question of the type
OF Amercanism that Woodrow Wilson stands
for on the one SIDE and the type Charles e.
Hughes stands for, on the other. we know
exactly what the President believes We
know what he has demanded of every citizen.
We know what he has exacted Of every gov
eminent that has violated American rights
All this is an open book All OF 1t is a part
Of the nations history of the past two years
II now remains for Mr.. Hughes to declare
hinself lie can no longer mask his criti-
ctsms OF the President behind generalities
lie must tell the country definitely wherein
the present administration has failed to
maintain national honor to require UNI
divided loyalty of every citizen. He will have
10 state his case in plain language, to tell
us what brand of Amercanism he would give
us il he is elected what he would undo that
mas been done and what no would substitute
in IFS place
Mr.. Hughes cannot successfully condemn
the policy Of the President without citing
specifications Nor can he go along posing
as the exponent OF Rooseveltism, while at
the same time holding out welcoming hand
to the hyphens." His party boasts that the
German-Americans acquiesced in his nomina-
tion and mean to support the ticket. VIII
ne repudlate them or will he sl1llfully ma
ncuver to hold them in line while he plays
openly for tho Roosevelt following?
