English Learn Their Lesson.
Previous to the war of the nations
the British government had left the
production Of, horses for the army to
private enterprise. The British had
merely muddled along, as is their habit
In most things. The difficulty the war
office experienced In eQuipplng with
suitable horses the cavalry, transport
and artillery services of the trernend.
Gus armies that were being assembled
In France in 1916 and 1917, under Haig,
convinced the rulers Of the Rritish Emf
pire that the old haphaZard scheme
would not answer in future. The Brit
lsli Parliament was therefore con-
strained to accept the 1917 Major Hall
Walkers generous offer of his entire
thoroughbred stud as the nucleus of a
great Imperial Military Horse Breed
ing establishment and to eIaploy Lord
I.onsIale to manage and race the pro-
duce of that establishment on the
tracks OF Great Britain for purposes
of elimination as the Imperial German
government had employed various
sciOns of German royalty TO race the
produce of the national studs of Grad
itz and TrekenneI for thirty-five or
forty years before the outbreak Of
the great war.
The munificence of Major Walkers
gift to his country will be understood
when 1t is realized that his stud had
been taxed on a valuation of upward
of $3.O0O000. Now that the war Is
over Parliament is beginning to apprO.
pirate vast sums annually for the
maintenance of this Imperial horse
breeding establishment after the man.
ner such establishments had beer
maintained in France, Germany, Aus
triarHungary and Italy for half cen.
fury before the German Invasion of
Belgium. To promote the quick pro.
duction of quantities Of horses of thor1
Oughhred, three-1uarterbrcd and hall
bred types, thus establishment is pre-,
pairing to give direct support to the
Canadian National Bureau Of Breeding
which WAS established some seven OF
eight years prior to 1914, and which
supplied the Canadian and British
forces with thousands of splendid hall
breds, and to create subsidiary branch
es in Australia, New Zealand, South
Africa and InGia..-Advt.
