All Horses Needed
By U. 5. Army Now
Bought m France

All horses now needed by the
American army in France are be-
ing purchased in that country. This
fact was disclosed to the Senate
Military Affairs Committee yester-
day when it held its weekly meet
ing with the War Council.
It was explained that while the
prices for the horses purchased
there are not cheaper than Ameri-
can prices, the necessity of con-
serving ship space Is the princi-
pal reason for the decision. Horses
and the forage necessary for them
require considerable ship space. The
purchases abroad. II was stated,
comprise for the most part animals
needed for draft purposes with the
supply wagons and artillery.
Members Of the committee re-
turned to the Senate surprised over
the decision. most of them being
under the impression that France,
herself, was lacking in horses.

Building required
FOR WAR RISK BOARD
Secretary McAdoo Explains Pur-
chase of Arlington Hotel Site.

Just why the government has to
spend $4.122.3sO in erecting an an
mex to the Treasury Department on
the site of the old Arlington Hotel
at H street and Vermont avenue
northwest. Is explained in a letter
from Secretary McAdoo to Senator
Phelan, which the latter caused to
be read into the record yesterday
The War Risk Insurance Bureau
Secretary McAdoo explains will oc-
cupy the major part of the struc-
ture when completed. There has
been. in the past few weeks, some
little discussion as to exactly what
the Treasury Department had in
mind when IL acquired the site al
such an enormous figure and Sec
retary McAdoo answers the ques-
tions.
At present the War Risk Insur-
ance business is scattered, the Sec
retary says, in ten different direc-
tions. and its 300 employees are
located in buildings entirely insult
ed for the work of taking care of
its enormous business. Even when
the war ends, states Secretary Nc
Adoo. the Treasury Departments s
activities will require the building.
The reason also, states Secretary
McAdoo. that the proposed Treasury
annex to be erected alongside the
Belasco Theater would not suffice
for the War Risk Bureau. is that
this structure is to be used for the
Internal Revenue. and even then II
is only half large enough for that
department.
Temporary structures will not
suffice, the letter states. because II
would not be wise to entrust valu-
able records and papers in fiimsy
buildings such as would have to be
erected.
The price paid, the letter states,
Is reasona BILE.
