WAR AND HORSE BREEDING


If the present rate of 10000 to so, 900
horses exported per month be kept up
for a year or two longer the effect will
be intensely serious. Indeed, even
now, if all further expectations of
horses should cease, the influence of the
500, 900 horses already sent abroad will
be felt for the next Is to 20 years in
horse-breeding industry and markets of
the United States.
One need make only casual perual
of the specifications of the English and
French armies on the kind and quality
of horses to be purchased to understand
that the very pick-the cream of the
American ling stock, has al
ready been picked in quick lime or de-
voured as carried on the battle fields of
Europe. 1t stirs the emotions of even
the most intense enthusiast on motor
TRANSFORMATION to contemplate the
brutal, inhuman sacrifice of Americas
finest specimens of the equine race to
appease the bloodthirst of Mars.
Undoubtedly 80 per cent. or more of
these fine animals have been mares,
and as it requires from four to six years
to replace stock, even of the poorest
Kind. we cannot for the next half cen
tury restore the standard to which our
horses had attained at the beginning of
the great war. We can get no more
fine specimens from Europe for the
next quarter of century or more, for
Europe has long since destroyed the
noblest propagators of the equine fam
lily; and the Mendelian laws of heredity
are inexplorabie. We cannot perpet-
uate good quality race of horses from
the altogether too scarce specimens of
right quality; only by long drawn out
processes requiring skill and patience
can we rehabilitate the horse family in
America.

Oven Canning Of Fruit

In oven cookery the fruit retains its
shape, color and flavor better than
when cooked in the preserving kettle.
Cover the bottom of the oven with a
sheet of asbestos, the kind plumbers
use in covering pipes. If this is not
to be had, put into the oven shallow
pans containing about two inches of
boiling water.
Sterilize the jars and cans. Make a
syrup of sugar and water. Wash and
otherwise prepare the fruit. Pack the
hot jars with fruit and fill with syrup.
Run the blade of a knife around the
inside of the jar.
Place jars in oven, either on the as
bestos sheet or in the pan of water.
Have the oven moderately hot. Cook
the fruit from 10 to Is minutes. Re-
move from the oven and fill with boil
ing syrup. Wipe jar and seal. Set jars
upside down on clean shelf out of a
draft. The next day tighten the covers
and seal edge with melted paraffin.

TRUE INWARDNESS OF THE
VERA CRUZ INCIDENT.

In the Spring Of 1914, occur
red the capture Of Vera Cruz.
Men from one of our ships had
been arrested at Tampico and
had been discharged with an
apology. But our Admiral de-
manded 2 salute, which was re-
fused. Thereupon the President
went to Congress, asking ap-
thoritY 30 use the armed forces
Of the United States. Without
watting for the passage Of the
resolution, Vera Cruz was seiz-
ed. It appeared that . shipload
of ammunition for Huerta was
about to enter that port. There
was a natural opposition to this
invasion and a battle occurred
In which nineteen Americans
and over a hundred Mexicans
were killed. This, of course,
was war. Our dead soldiers
were praised for dying like
heroes in a war of service.
Later, we retired from Vera
Cruz, giving up this noble war
fare. We had not obtained 1the
salute which was demanded.
We had not obtained Fepara-
ton for affronts. The ship with
ammunition which could not
land at Vera Cruz had soon
landed at another port, and its
cargo was delivered to Huerta
without interference. Recently |
the naked truth was admitted |
by a Cabinet officer. We are
now informed that I'VE did not
go to Vera Cruz to force Huerta |
to salute the nag" We are
told that We went there Ito
show Mexico that We were ia
earnest in our demand that

salute was mere pretext-

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT,

Our opponents promised to
reduce the cost Of living. This
they have failed to do; but they
did reduce the opportunities Of
making q living. Let us not for
get the conditions that existed
In this country under the new
tariff prior to the outbreak Of
the war, Production had de-
creased, business was anguish
ing, new enterprises were not
undertaken, instead Of expap-
sion there was curtaiiment, and
our streets were filed with the
unemployed. What ground Is
there for expecting better con-
ditions when the unhealthy
stimulus Of the war has spent
its force and our industries and
working-men are exposed to the
competition of an energiZed Eu-
rope?
1t is plain that we must have
protective upbuilding policies.

Dupont Road to Cost More

With bids aggregating nearly 5000, 900
for the II miles of cement road to be
built from Georgetown north to Ellen
dale for the DUPONT Boulevard Corpora
tion, two of the bids opened at the
offices in Georgetown disclosed the fact
that despite the large contract and also
about 80 different grades of sand, gravel
and cement, the bids were within less
than $10O Of each other.
The bids also disclosed the fact that
the road from Georgetown north will
cost about 500 more per mile than the
present road, which has just been
finished from Georgetown to the Mary
land line. The increased cost is due to
the higher price of cement and Of labor.
Because of the closeness of the two bids
they were sent to New York to T.

who demanded mere a4eQuate

about . year and . hak age we

been misinfOrmed. Later, under
the pressure Of other leader
ship, this attitude was changed.
The Administration, it was
said, had learned something"
and it made . belated demand
for an increased army. Even
then, the demand was not prOse-
cuted consistently and the pres
sure exerted on Congress with
respect to other Administrative
measures was notably absent.
We are told that the defects
revealed by the present mobili-
zation are due to the system.
But 1t was precisely such plain
defects that under the constant
warnings Of recent years, with
the whole world intent on nAili-

studied and rOctiAed. The Ad-
