HUAcHucA AND DOUGLAS ARMY
HORSES FIRST TO TRY OUT NEW
OATS AND MoLAsses BRICKS

WASHINGTON. ain. IL. II was
made known today tina; the horses ut
Fcrt Huachuca and Douglas, Arizona.
were among the first ARM horses to
try out the compressed horse forage
which is now being teste.l at army
posts throughout the country.
The forage. which is composed of
pure oats and molasses, made into
bricks inches wide, IL inches long.
and 81 of an inch thick. is expected
to reduce the cause responsible for
most of the animal mortslity-starva-
ton.
Compressed horse rations, which
can easily be transported, have been
pressing need for centuries. Ma
poleon's campaign against Russia
failed because Of the starvation OF
the animals. Only last spring in
Mesopotamia. the British government
was obliged 10 kill 10000 war horses
in the last stages of starvation.
Reports on file at Washington show
that the Arizona horses thrived on
the new ration. and that several
marching expeditions were made
when the horses were fed solely on
the forage. which proved satisfac-
tory.
: General William ]. Snow. chief Of
artillery, stated that his department
was taking the ration as a basis for
further experiment in an attempt to
develop a completely satisfactory
field forage ration for horses as a
wartime proposition.
Until the United States started its
experiments, Germany was the only
nation using concentrated bulk
form of feed for its army horses.
For fifty years United States army
officers have been endeavoring to
solve the problem of easily trans
ported horse feed. The British sup
ply officers in Egypt who were con-
cerned with forwarding supplies to
the troops engaged in the Palestine
campaign, evolved a type Of COM
pressed food by using cotton baling
presses to reduce the bulk and while
THIS was an improvement, it was
never quite satisfactory.

Chicago, June 14.-"Wage cuts af- fecting some 35o,00o railroad work CTS not embraced in the two recent wage slashes are expected to be an nounced tomorrow by the United States railroad labor board" the Chicago Daily Tribune said tonight.
 The decision" 1t was said, twill apply to clerks, signalmen, station ary firemen and oilers and marine department employees. It is the third and last of series trimming be- tween s135, 5,000.000 and $150, 900, ,0O0 a year off the annual payroll of the carriers. all three of the reductions taking effect July 1. In all, some 1,250,000 workers are covered in the three orders
 "The teIegraphers, who number about 8f.000, will not be dealt with for the present because so many To- cal conditions on the roads are in- volved that prolonged discussion will be necessary. The train service men are not struck by the slashes.
 In the finding scheduled for Fri- day, the labor board will present something in the nature of a joint debate upon the issues and prin- clples involved in the wage defla- tion anu upon tHe trhnSpOrt tdtloH problem In it's general aspects,
 The members of the public and railroad groups who have signed the majority opinion ordering the cuts will set forth the factors impeding them to their decision. The three members of the railroad group will set forth their views of why reduc- tions In wages are unjustified. To this the majority will make a re- joinder."
