The Horse of
The Var

Before following these horses and mules
to the battle areas let US turn back for
moment to where they came from
Many of them were Brtishers, but a very
large proportion from the United
States. There were probably more than
hve million horses used by all belligerents
and Of these Great Britain alone bought
100000 in this country. The American
light draught horse was the horse of the
war.
Of the heavy .draught horses, such as
we're used to draw the big howitzers, espe-
claliy IN the early days of the fighting, the
Percherons brought from France and the
United States were the animals which stood
the test Of war conditions. The British
were so thoroughly convinced OF this that
an association has recently been organized
III England for the express purpose Of
encouraging the breeding OF Percheron
horses.
ana thousands Of long cared, dreamy
looking mules from Missouri and other
states were pought by the Allies, and, Of
course Ihere were many more with the
American army In many respects thew are
better than horses. They cannot travel as
fast, but they are surer- footed. and fer
tndt reason alone are orten preferred cane
cial1y in mountainous country. Then thew
are not 80 nervous, they are less subject to
disease, and can often live comfortably
under conditions which would be Very try
ing II not dangerous TO horses. For cx~
ample, in loading British transports the
mules were usually put the lower decks
because they could stand bad air, which
would be apt to make the horses ILL.,

British government established on that

were kept, and from which they could be
sent az the army needed them. Our trans
port has, of course, locked at point near
one Of these camps, from which come the

x y on ask what part animals played
IN winning the great war, and how
n they played it. That is a pretty
big order and cannot be delivered
in the space Of q newspaper article But
come with me for little while and YOU
shall at least be able to guess at the an
swer.
It is night and we are standing on
great wharf somewhere in the south of
England. We have passed the last sentries
and we are at liberty to observe. Not
that there is much to see or hear The
outline of a huge transport which looms
black against q dark gray sky; shrouded
figures of men who move quickly and
silently to their ordered work-that is all
we can see. Nor can we hear much more
From the depths of the black transport
come hollow sounds of paving hoofs and
the occasional muffed whinny of ner-
vous horse, and from far overhead in the
darkness the droning of a motor tells US
that British airplane is policing the sky.
We look upward but in vain we seek to
fathom the gloom for the form of this
gigantic night bird lowering above. For
little space we concentrate our sight and
hearing on the quite impossible, and then
we look downward again at the transport
What. Where is it--that black hull
which all but filled the picture but a
moment before? She has slipped away into
the channel silent as the mist which shrouds
her, and the hum of the airplane's motor
alone gives a possible clew to her direc-
ton. But in Imagination we can follow
her still. We see the captain going down
into his chart room to open the sealed
orders Of the Admiralty; eve see the dim
but alert figures of the watch, and we hear
the hiss of the water splitting on the bows
of the grim destroyers which form her
escort. And we know that all night in
the darkness and the silence she will speed
her Grand and that dawn will find her
somewhere on the coast of France. The
destroyers will signal "Goodby" and turn
homeward for another convoy, and a pilot
comes aboard to guide the good ship with
her cargo Of four-footed allies into a
French port for debarkaton.

portation of ordinary wines and by the aid of the national banks. Reform in the administration Of the banks and in the tariff laws is demanded.
 The committee names the Stand ard Oil company, of the United States, as the trust" which con- trols kerosene and naptha n Argentina. The report sets fort that this "'trust' norteamericano del petroleo" has in Argentina a powerful subsidiary company, di- vided in it's legal aspect into one section of production, another of marketing and transport"
 "The commercial practices of this trust" says the report, "are those of monopoly which wishes to extend even more and consoli- date. There is no proof that the trust has determined upon in- creasing the price of kerosene and 1lapCna m the country, put lt IS certain that it's prices represent q relative increase, that is to say, with relation to the cost of pro- duction."
 Meat Men Busy.
 Argentina's defense against "this international and almost worldwide monopoly" the con- mittee says, consists of encourag- ing commerce in and production of all other materials capable of producing light and heat and de- veloping the production of petro- leum as a government enterprise "since every private enterprise will be annihilated or absorbed by the trust"
 Dealing with meat, the report says that the exportation of this commodity is Gin the hands oi great companies which are sub- sidiary to still more powerful foreign companies tending toward capitalistic monopoly" The com mittee recommends that Argen- tina organize it's own meat in. dustry with municipal and regiona

figure in the worlds market. The present quotations, if left un- modified, will soon tell on the welfare of the Japanese public who are already suffering from the advance price of cotton piece goods.
 The government is taking tho situation seriously and recently dispatched officials to Osaka, the most important centre of spinning industry to investigate the cause of the recent advance ard to recommsnd measures for regulat- ing prices. But the measures taken by the government so far have produced no effect and quo tations are still advancing.
 The current prices have reached such a figure that weavers can derive a large margin of profits by manufacturing textile fabrics with cotton yarns imported from abroad. One large weaving con- cern in Osaka has already ordered large quantities of fine yarns from the United States and thick yarns from China. This is the first importation of foreign cotton yarns by Japanese spinning concerns.

Former Premier
 Lives Ten Days
 After His Death

Tokio, Dec. 12.-All the ex- perience of a man who has come back from the dead fell to the lot of Japan's striking military fig ure, Field Marshall Count Seiki Terauchi, formerly premier of Ja- pan. Declared dead by the at tending physician after a long ill., ness of heart disease, he returned to full consciousness, partook of food and talked gaily with his son.
 Meantime, in the belief that the end had come, the court had be- slowed posthumous honors upon him and hearse had been order ed to Oiso, a sea side resort near Tokio where Count Terauchi was staying. Hundreds of telegrams of coincidence had been received by the family, and these were followed by messages of felicita- tions when the joyful news was spread that the count was actually living. The court withdrew the honors mistakenly conferred.
 q am sorry to have given you so much trouble" Terauchi is quoted as saying to Countess Ter auchi. He referred to the fact that owing to the premature announce ment of his death, she had count ed herself a widow for about a day. "Let us blow the farm to- gether upon my full recovery" the field marshal continued.
 My mental diary lacks two days" is another remark attri- buted to the resuscitated soldier, "for the life of me I cannot recol- lect anything that happened in the days of the 20th and 2lst of Octo- Der.
 The count lived about 10 days after the first attack of heart disease. He died November 3.

 AFFLICTED WITH TRUSTS, LAW FINDS
Wine Trust Most Typical ''Trust" of All of
 Them

Buenos Aires, Dec. 12.-A com mittee of the chamber of deputies has discovered after more than d years investigation that Argen- tina is afflicted with trusts" Wine, flour, lime, potatoes, meat, and oil and naptha are described in a recent report of the committee as under the control of trusts which have been able to flourish and maintain high prices chiefly because of high protective tariffs or favorable railroad rates, it is charged.
 The committee finds that the "most typical trust" in Argen- tina (the world "trust" is put in quotation marks throughout the report) is the "wine trust" in the great grape-growing province of Mendoza on the slopes of the An des. It is charged that this com bination of wine producers is an official trust organized by the law of the province" which is able to pay the cost of the greater part of it's administration out of "the loqfl privilege created by the monopoly of wine."
 Destroy Grapes.
 Destruction of grapes and wine, Eexportation of wine at a low price and maintainance of high price in Argentina are alleged. The trust" is able to exist, the report says, in virtue of high custom duties which discourage the inn
