WAR CAUSES A BIG WASTE OF mm It is estimated that the life of an artillery horse in the present war is four days. The average life of "a cavalry horse has been 10 days. England's supply of horses can be renewed so long as land's money lastsand she holds command of the seas.

The same is true of Germany cannot replace her horses except' from her own country. Austria has, a larger supply of horses than Germany, but Austria cannot hope, to get horses except from Roumania and Bulgaria. The supply of horses in these countries is limited. Russia hasenoughhorseslnher own territory, stretched from the Baltioto the PacifiCk to supply her calvary even 'should, the war go on for years. The Germans have one advant- age in the fact that, realzing their dearth, they have utilized more fully than their enemies the automobile, the motor truck and the motor as a drawer of artillery.
