Horses and the War.

In spite Of the remarkable progress
Of the automobile industry, the horse
less age is still quite a long way Oft.
The warning nations of Europe have
been keeping the automobile factories
of the United States working over
time for some two years now, and
have caused factories of various kinds
to remodel their plants to make motor
vehicles. Yet in spite of the great use
of automobiles, horse flesh is still in
very great demand by the armies OF
Europe.
The statement is made from a reli-
able source that approximately $780,
0G0 horses are employed by the allies
alone. This number is divided about
as follows: 500, 600 for England; Co.,
600 for France; 800, 600 for Italy, and
100000 for Russia. The Central pow
ers are said to employ 1900, 900 and
the total number of horses estimated
to be employed in connection with the
various European armies is not far
from 100000.
The organizations and work for talk
ing care Of wounded horses is second
only to that of the care Of wounded
soldiers. Between November S, 1914,
and March 81, 1916. we are told, the
English society received contributions
for army relief work aegregating
about 100000. With this large sum,
two veterinary hospitals. accommo-
dating 1000 horses each, and. another
hospital, with room for 1850 horses,
were erected n fitted up in France.
Temporary shelters for 500 horses
were erected and fitted up and put in
service. Fifty horse ambulances were
purchased and sent to the front.
Among other things procured were
twenty corn crushers with gasoline en-
gines to work them.
Up to April last $50. 900 horses We're
treated at these structures, of which
10000 were returned as cured. With
