FROM WASHINGTON

The "glad hand" already has been
extended the Washington recruits for
the national army by the population
Of Petersburg, Va, where the local
soldiers will be trained for the great
war.
Without waiting for the boys in
khaki to put in an actual appearance
at the cantonment now being built,
500 men and women of Petersburg and
vicinity have adopted a resolution as
surfing the embryo soldiers OF hospi-
tality.
When the men go into camp Septem-
Der /, or as soon thereafter as prac-
ticable, they will nnd the entire town
organized to relieve so far as consist.
snt with military duty, the monotony
and drudgery OF the training period.
The resolution was adopted at q
meeting presided over by Mayor Rob-
ert Gillian.

URGES DRAFTING
Of CITY HORSES
FOR USE IN WAR

Conscription OF all the horses In
the large cities to prevent the ship
ping to Europe OF thousands of
green" mounts. fresh from he West,
has been urged on Major Gerald E.
Griffin, head of the army veterinary
service at Washington, by W. Horace
Hoskins, dean OF the New York State
Veterinary College. established at
New York University.
Dean Hoskins declares that every
At horse, whether a pet or bluc-ribbon
winner, should be registered and sent
in lieu of the Western horses. which
are now being fattened for sale and
are sent abroad, unseasoned. and in q
most perishable condition.
In his recommendation for this plan
Dean Hoskins said:
'In some instances 30 per cent OF
the horses are in no shipping condI,
tion by the time they reach the point
OF embarkation through exposure 10
cars, stock yards. change of food and
climate, and are most susceptible TO
contagious diseases. Colt distemper.
from which the horse is immune after
the eighth year, frequently makes its
appearance. By conscripting the sea.
soned horse, this can be greatly obvi
ated and the horse conserved for army
use"
Not to deprive the horseman or mer-
chant, or whosoever 1t might be. OF a
horse, the dean recommends that for
every seasoned horse conscripted a
green" horse OF equal value. where
possible, be given in exchange, as the
green" horse is less susceptible to
disease and more easily broken in by
the private stable than in Govern.
ment service abroad.
