Temporary Executive Commit
tee Named for American
Association.
TO LAUNCH CAMPAIGN

Steps looking toward the formation of
a permanent organization are being
taken by the members OF the American
Remount Association. This organization
was started in both the United States
and France by officers and men of the
remount service. Since the A. E. r.
members have returned to the United
States steps are being taken to bring
both forces together and aid in the
furtherance of the plans to boost the
horse breeding game in this country.
Thirty men who have played a prom
inent part in the horse game in the
United States and who have been con-
nected with the remount service during
the world war have been named on
the temporary executive committee.

acting secretary that IL will meet some
time in October to work out a perma-
nent organization. At that meeting the
Officers of the association will be named
The officers and men OF the remcunt
service are enthusiastic about the Or

launched to interest all of the horse
breeders, jockey clubs, State and county
fairs horse shows and racing associa-
tons in the welfare of the association

and pacing. as well as heavy horse men

few of the best known polo players in
the country in the list. There is only a
