$4,000 A MONTH ARE KILLED
About 30 Per Cent Of Animals Wound
ed Are Sent Back to the Front
After Treatment in Red
Star Hospitals.

France for the American artillery
units and of establishing hospitals for
the treatment of wounded animals Is
emphasized by Or. W. O. Stillman,
president Of the Red Star animal re-
| LIef, In bulletins upon the work of the
organization. He said that the Ger
mans had lost many batteries of field
| pieces because of lack of animals to
| draw them to safety during allied ad-
vances, while fewer guns had been lost
by the British partly because they had
large numbers of horses.
100000 Horses in Use.
Figures compiled by the society
show that there are 100000 in use
by all the armies in the war, and that
the losses on the western front alone
have averaged 1900 a month. In
three-mile front at Verdun the French
lost more than 5000 horses. About l.
0OO,eOO of the horses were bought by
the allies In America and were trans
ported with large losses. About $4,000
dled on this side after they had been
purchased and were awaiting shin
ment to Europe and 6O00 died In the
SHIPS. The value of the horses ship
PED to Europe last year was more than
SoO,OOO,OOO and the loss for a heavy
month Of fighting is about $1,5O00O0.
There are about 22,000,OOO horses in
America, and the estimates are that an
American army of 100000 men will
need about 100000 horses for draft |
purposes and mounts, and several hun |
dred thousands more to fill I'D the |
losses of battle. The need of shipping |
TO maintain this force at highest eff !
cheney to transport animals to fill |
the losses, with only part of the fod-
der, would be 50 ships month.
Fighting units can deal only with
well animals. AS soon as a horse be-
comes sick, diseased, shell-shocked or
wounded it must be removed to the
rear and a sound, vigorous animal
sent forward to take its place. Thou
sands of animals are in the hospitals

quickly as possible to take the places
