Facts and Factors in Great War.

There are 100000 horses engaged in
this war
On the western front the losses have
averaged A. 900 horses a month.
In eight hours fighting along a three
mile front at Nerdun the French lost
5,0ll horses.
Over million-and-a-hal of Ameri-
ca's horses have been purchased for
service with the allies.
In the first seven months of 1917 tAe
value Of horses shipped to Europe from
American ports was $25,32 1913.
For the month of July alone me
value was $l,377,202. Wastagc of
horses means an enormous money loss.
which mere money cannot now replace.
Thirty-three thousand horses have died
in America while awaiting shipment
and 5000 have died at sea in course
Of transit.
In nine weeks the British captured
332 German field and heavy guns land
lost none. The German losses are part
lv due to lack of horses.
America, with an army of 100000
men, will require 80. 900 horses to be-
gin with, and shipload after shipload
to keep the force up to the strength.
The total need will exceed million a
year under fighting conditions, and
may even be vastly greater.
