For four years DR.. Ales Hrdlicka,

The value Of having practical horse
men in charge Of remount camps is
shown IN provisions made for shelter.
When 1t came to building the great
depots required at each of the camps
they ordered open sheds instead Of
barns--or for the severe northern CHI
mite sheds closed on one side. To
the City-bred humanitarian who saw
thousands of Uncle Sans horses ana
mules standing out in the cold, this
seemed cruel, ana complaint was en-
tered. But by practical test it was
shown that the horSemen We're right.
Those animals which were housed up
did not thrive as well as the ones
which were kept In che open. When
talking with the head Of the remount
division the thing he was most proud
of was the fact that our horses We're
kent in better condition with fewer
losses, than the horses of England or
France, and that we did this with n
much smaller man force. largely be-
cause we give them opcn-alr treat

Americans and Tanks.

BY inventlng the caterpillar device
for motors, American ingenuity has
played vital part In the war, says
Boys Life, the boy scouts magazine.
The success Of the tank lies in the
fact that it lays It's own track, 50 to
speak, and after rolling over it, picks
II up. Now the track is merely belt
made of fiat links of steel. This belt
fits over large wheels at either end Of
the tank, much as the chain Is
stretched around the wheels of an au-
tOmoblle. On the outside of the belt
ere fixed a series of broad links called
track plates, which take firm grip
on the earth. The tank itself rests on
rollers which In turn rest on the In
side of the belt. 1t IS equipped with
two belts on either side Of the car,
10th of which are connected with the
driving machinery. When the tank
moves straight ahead, both these belts
are driven at the same speed. It is
possible, however, to drive the belts
Independently. 1t usually travels at n
speed Of about half mile an hour.

Peace.

Peace Is not an ideal at all; 1t Is
state attendant upon the achieve

human liberty, justice. and the honor

approximately 100000 squirrels. Ten

destroy more than a bushel of wheat.
With this as a basis, the campaign

Kaiser Bill is out with another proclamation to my

but insists that my submarines are sure of success"
This, in the face of the published statements in German

that I'VE underestimate the strength and resourcefulness
of the United States and her allies, and we cannot win
with force" is intended to deceive the poor dupes the
kaiser rules, and inspires them to continue to be slaughter
ed in order that each of my sons may sit upon a throne.
1t is time to stop the silly nonsense that 1--WE are not at

the German people, the vassals of a depraved and dishon-

the kaiser. The German people are protecting the kaiser
and his spawn from the fate that would end their existence
quickly if the citizens Of other countries could but reach
them. just let the German people, who are doing the
fighting, step aside and see how quickly the war would end,
for if the people outside of Germany could but lay their
hands upon the kaiser and his advisers there would be
short shift of these trouble makers.
1t is the German people we are fighting. 1t is the Ger
man people who must be killed. 1t is the German people
