It got steel expert, s. r. Fuller, who
resigned from big Chicago railway

and shipyards.

invested the money in Liberty bonds,
and came into the bureau.
The navy needed transportation on
sea and land. All the problems of
chartering ships for worldwide dis
tribution Of supplies, coal, and pro-
visions going out to the fleet, and nj
trate and shellac coming back in ma
val vessels were placed in charge Of
Benjamin T. Young, an expert on ship
chartering and ocean transport, who
severed his connection with big New
York shipping concern for the period
of the war. Transportation on land
was taken over by o. NJ. Ellsworth,
who left remunerative position with
a big railway system to enter Uncle
Sans service.
The navy needed chemicals, and
Donald Riley came from large chem
ical concern to take charge Of this de-
partment. It needed industrial &C
counting, and great accounting ma
chinery concern made arrangements
whereby G. s.. Ashdown took that. ac-
tivity in hand, giving all his time to
the development Of accounting sys-

tiplied again and again. A department
to deal with foodstuffs was provided
under F. A. Tillman; another dealing
with lumber under G. M. Morford, and
another dealing with leather land al
lied materials under J. w. Mcintosh.
The general standard Of ability set
by the navy for its civilian experts is
that each man must be worth several
times what the navy pays him in sal
ary, and that he must come into the
organization for the period Of the war
absolutely. "Outside talent with in.
side control" is the principle followed,
and this has worked so we'll that the

fprepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Substitutions for the horse have so
far failed to diminish his number on
farms, where he issmOstly bred. The
railroad did not verify the common
prophecy of the horses gloomy future
nearly a century ago. and many years
elapsed before the heyday of the Dl-
cycle arrived with its expected menace
to the horse. That machine Of pleas
ure and toll diverted attention from
the first real antagonist Of the horse,
the electric street railway, and this
was formidable one. Street-car serv-
Ice could not have been developed by
horses to the extent that 1t has been
carried by electricity, yet there was an
enormous displacement Of horses
when they no longer pulled street cars.
It is roughly estimated that 100000
horses would be required to move the
street cars now in city service. and
that farmers would need to keep a
stock of perhaps 100000 horses to
produce this supply. Yet, horses kept
on increasing.
Apparently the most effective foe OF
the horse has appeared in the last ten
years in the motor vehicle, although
its Importance in this respect is pop
ularly exaggerated. According to sta
tistics collected by the United States
department Of agriculture, the total
state registrations Of motor cars were
$4,000 IN 1905, about 100000 in 1910.
over 100000 in 1912, over 2,40O 600 in
1915, and 3.512,998 in 1915.
Automobiles do not merely disp1ace
horses but many are used by men in
occupations dependent on either horses
or automobiles for personal movement,
| such as real estate agents, builders,
and some merchants and manufactu-
rers, and there Is also the large public
automobile passenger service in cities
and, again, the large number of auto
mobiles owned by farmers in place of
driving horses.
| With motor trucks and commercial
vehicles the case is different. Here is
clearly complete substitution Of fuel
power for horse power. 1t Is the opin-
ion that every motor truck on the av.
erage displaces three horses. The state
records often merge the registration
of motor trucks and commercial We
hicles with that Of automobiles, but
to the extent that the separation IL
made, 1t is known that 118.6S2 Of the
former were registered in 1915. Prob
ably the displacement of horses by mo.
tor trucks and commercial vehicles

Last of all, the farm tractor has ap-

Unusual and large demands for
horses for war purposes have been
made since the autumn of 1914. Dur
ing the ten years preceding. from 49,
600 to 10000 horses were exported an
nually, while the imports were from
5000 to $4,000, so that the net exports
were no appreciate draft on domes-

the second S57 ,553, and in the third

year the needs Of the army Of this
country have called for large number
of horses.
