THE AMERICAN TROTTER.

Trotter and PAGER: The American
trotter is the most all-around userul
type OF horse in the United States.
He Is the representative OF breed
which combines sport with utility
more effectively than any other IN
the world. He possesses a gala
whose development Is bringing hlm
continually nearer and Will utmate'
ly enable him to oVertake the tnor.
oughbred in speed. Weight for welgnu
he has more endurance and strength
than the draft horse, and he haS
twice the longevity. He is more do
cile-knows more-than any other
variety Of horse that ever lived. For
almost any purpose for which
horse is needed he Is the most avalt-
able in the United States today. Bus
for the trotter 1t would have been
impossible to supply one-half as many
horses as we have sent to Europe
since this war began. II we should
need half a million OF horses for our
own armies, a vast majority would
have to- be recruited from the trottins
horse breed To discourage their
breeding is to initiate against an In
dispensable national resource. 10
obliterate the breed would be q ma
tional calamity. These are cold facts,
without hyperbole or hysteria. Lei
us ponder them seriously and then
heed the call elsewhere in this issua
of William H. Minton, president OF
the New England ''I1orsemen," as to
the necessity of impresstng upon Dr.
rector OF the Railroads McAdoo, lest
in thoughtlessness or in ignorance OF
| the same he may decide to dam up
the fount Of supply by stopping all
racing through an embargo upon
cars for shipping. The reminder Is
most timely and it should get quick
action from our influential breeders
! and racing managers.

warned by another vessel that had
spotted the torpedo, was in the act Of
turning when the missile struck, an

other vessels were not aware of what
had happened. They spent merry
evening and continued their custom
airy entertainments.
Another eye witness stated that the
Tuscania sank within forty-eight
minutes after she was struck.
He said that destroyers and other
vessels had surrounder her, picking
up the survivors from the sea and
from the life boats.
He said that it was Tuesday even

then went out.
Survivors arriving at a Scottish

damaged transport, caused a number
of casualties.

Exaggerated faults and suppressed

1.-THE war machine" Glass said, is
driving ahead at a pace that has
amazed the European nations In arms.
We have sent nearly ten times as
many troops aboard as the French
and English military missions ex-
pected we could do in the time re-
CURED and we are training an army
far beyond the original estimates"
The Virginia representative, who
made the first carefully prepared de-
Tense of Secretary Baker in either
house, placed a large share OF the
blame for Americas unpreparedness
when the United States entered the
war. at the door of Chamberlain, as
chairman Of the military affairs COM

Chamberlain's address and tried to
show that expert testimony contra
dicted every one Of the charges.
"And how obliged to Mr.. Chamber

licly confirming their contemptuous

will wash, and wash and wash again

In answer to the senator's charges
that there was little preparation by
the war department while the war
ragged in Europe prior to the entrance
Of the United States, Glass pointed
in scorn to the "pitifully small appro-
priations for war work" several Of
which, he said, during 1915 and 1916
were cut by Chamber1ain's commit

Instead OF the war department
not functioning, as Chamberlain
charged, it was Chamberlain who did
not function" Glass declared.

Hoover originally banned doughnuts

was too great. So Hooverized pies
and "sinNSrs" can be served on wheat
