The remount division of the quartemaster corps, in charge of purchasing and distributing horses and mules for the War Depart ment, reported today that there are two full divisions of horse mounted cavalry, and that another division Is more than half mobil- ized. This does not include hun- dreds of horses being used by gen. eral headquarters divisions.
 Prior to his induction in the army, Private Dobbin" Is given a stiff physical examination in true soldier style. The horse or mule either makes the grade, or Is ruled out completely. There are no re- classif1cations of horses or mules. Teeth, hoofS, muscles, height, weight and gait must meet specific standards in the first examination. Reconditioned by Army
 Quartermaster corps headquart- CTS reported that most of the army horses-both cavalry mounts and draft animals = come from the western and southwestern parts of the United States and are bought in the great horse markets of St. Louis and Chicago markets. but many of them come from Memphis and other leSser-known markets in the South.
 Government buyers meet the owners, look over the mules or horses, then offer a price. The buyers purchase only darker col ored horses because light shade animals could be seen easily by the enemy.
 After the horse is bought, tenn porary purchasing brand Is painted on his back and he Is sent to a re- mount depot to be conditioned prior to active service in the army. The animal is isolated for AS hours and fed only hay and water.
 After the brief initiation" per- iod, the animal is kept in a pen for two weeks during which time he is innoculated against disease Then "Dobbin" is allowed to roam the pasture-hiS diet being gradu- ally increased to include oats, corn and bran.

that he was not an American citizen.
 Paine protested vehemently, until he was threatened with ar- rest. After returning to New York he wrote grievous letters to Vice President George Clinton, Secretary of State James Madi- son, and others, but he never ob- tained a court verdict of citizen ship.
 Paine's monstrous egotism and jealousy led him into the most f1endish and shameful act of his life the attack on General Washington while he was President of the United States and Paine was across the Atlantic in France.
 The general had been very kind to Paine in every proper way, but of course he couldn't allow Paine to interfere with his administra- tion in America or lead him into complications with France.
 In the spring of 1796 Paine wrote his public Letter to George Wash ington." Before he sent 1t to America he showed it to several American diplomats stationed in France, who tried to dissuade Paine from sending it, but with out avail.
 The last sentence of this inso- lent Letter was: "As to you, Sir. treacherous in private friend ship (for so you have been to mel, and hypocrite in public life, the world will be puzzled ito decide whether you are an apostate or an imposter; whether you have abandoned good principles, or whether you ever had any"
