II do not personally know what horses

policy up TO the date OF this mobilization
was 10 turn over to the state orRaniza-
ton animals which were serviceab.e for
ordinary drill purposes, hut which were
not serv!ceab!e for fieid service Win
regular troops. The policy that Is be-
ing followed at this mobilization Is to
purchase animals for all State organi-
