HORSE BREEDERS PROTEST
Object to Any Surtailment of Funds for U. S. Army Remount Service,
 as Proposed.

for U. s. Army Remount Service,
 as Proposed.
 Washington, March 3.-Fears that "attenps to curtail appropriations for the remount service" may be made in congress are expressed in communi- cations received by the war depart ment from horse breeders.
 Farmers representatives have filed protests with members of congress against any slash of the military budget which would interfere with this activity.
 The remount service has two hun dred stallions valued at more than 350o,0o0. and has mapped out a pro- gram for their employment in forty states during the year in cooperation with farmers, as it has been found that the most desirable type of horse for army use is exactly the type best fitted for farm work.
 A message to Colonel r. S. Arm strong, chief of the remount service, signed by representatives of more than 45 horse breeders organizations in the New England states, New York and Pennsylvania, said the work car ried on by the service is "of incal- culable value to the horse breeding industry of the country"
