HORSES AND MULES
Importance of Animals to War
fare Pointed out and Breed
ers Urged to Help.
AS NECESSARY AS MEN
"While Tlie Omaha Bee has very
properly placed great emphasis on
maximum crop production this year,
C()ua emphasis, however, should he
placed on liv stock production, and
this subject has not received the con
siderate i it should from the public
press," declares Wayne Dinsmore,
secretary of the Pert-heron Society of
America, with headquarters in Chi
cago. "Our available supply of meat ani
mals is lower than it has ever been,
in proportion to our population. Ger
many, through the slaughter of swine.
. reduced its supply of animal fats to a
point where the nutrition of the entire
nation has been seriously endangered,
and recent reporu from the battle
front are the loss of artillery in
dicate that the Central nations arc
also short artillery horses. We know
that German army authorities have
purchased every available horse in
Holland and Denmark since the war
began, and that they have paid as
high as $500. for yearling colts of
common breeding, which sell in this
country for $100 or less.
, Learn By Experience.
"Bitter experience ha's convinced
army men that horses and mules arc
as. essential in modern warfare as
men and guns. Trucks are invaluable
in transporting supplies from terminal
points to field bases, tanks have their
uses, but in transmitting supplies
from field bases to the firing lines,
horses and mules are indispensable
and under actual battle conditions,
where men ant) guns must be taken
into position across plowed fields,
trenches, ditches and shell holes,
horses, and horses alone, can be re
lied upon to speedily place men and
guns where they are needed, when
they arc needed.
"So pressing has been this need
that despite' the desperate situation
as to ship bottoms, importations of
horses have been made steadily and
are still continuing. '
"The shipment of more than 1,000,
0001 horses and mules to foreign na
tions has reduced our surplus mater
ially. The needs of the United States
army within the next three years will
be an added drain upon our resources
and there is danger that unless em
phasis is placed on the necessity of
maintaining our horse breeding oper
ations that wc will, ere the war is
over, face an actual shortage of horses
for farm work, city work and for
army uses.
"The statement I am giving , be
low has been prepared after an ex
haustive study of the situation.
Requirements in Horses and Mules. .
"3'he passage of the selective draft
measure by congress makes certain
the immediate preparation and equip
ment of an army of at least 1,000,000
men in 1917. All preparations are be
ing made for a.war that will last three
years, for regardless of what civilians
may think, army officials do not ex
pect an early ending ,Jo the war into
which the United 1 Slates has been
drawn. ,
"The requirements of cavalry, in
fantry and artillery, regiments in
horses and mules are set forth in a
letter just received from the War de
partment, as follows: '
Cavalry Ri'ilmmt 1,611 horses, 111 draft
Jnuls, 2S pack animals, S riding- mule.
Infantry Regiment Us ridlns horses, lit
draft mules. 2& park mutes, 6 riding mules.
Artillery Reriment-1,07 horaea, 88 draft
muleo, 4 riding mulea. ' -
"These are minimum requirements
and do not take into account trans-;
portation trains required to forward
supplies from terminal .points tJ field
bases. In other words, the number of
animals specified above refer only to
those actually needed with the troops.
Regiment Meant 1,500 Men.
'The war strength of a regiment of
intantrv ia annrnvimatplv 1 SOft n.
of a regiment of cavalry approximate
ly 1,300 men; of a' regiment of artillery
consisting of six batteries of four
guns each, approximately 1,146 men.
While definite information as to the
proportion of infantry, cavalry and ar
tillery to be included in the new army
is not yet forthconuig, it is generally
understood among army officials that
an artillery bat.ery of four guns will
be allowed for each 1,000 infantry.
"It seems probable therefore that
the first 1,000,000 men placed under
arms by the United States will be
composed of 500 regiments of infantry
'totaling 750,000 men, 125 regiments of
artillery totaling 143,250 men and 100
regiments of cavalry totaling 130.000
men, making a grand total of a little
over 1,000,000 men. The proportion
of artillery certainly will not be less,
and may be more, as actual warfare
on European battlefields has demon
strated that overwhelming superiority
in the artillery branch of the service
is essential to efficient operation by
the infantry.
Need 100 Cavalry Regiments.
"It may be argued that-there is no
probability that the United States twill
I prepare 100 regiments of cavalry, but
in view of the danger from the Mexi
can situation, it appeal's to be the be
lief of well informed army officers that
at least that many cavalry regiments
will be provided for in this year's
mobilization.
"To equip 500 regiments of infantry
will require 34,500 riding horses, 56,-
(100 draft mules, pack mules, and
3,000 riding mules. ,One hundred and
' twenty-five reiriments of artillery will
require 137,025 horses, 10,000 draft
mules, and 500 riding mules. The
equipment of 100 regiments of cavalrv
will necessitate 154,000 horses. 15,200
draft mules. 2.900 pack males, and 600
riding mules. The total number there
fore required for the equipment of 501!
regiments of infantry, 125 of artillery,
and 100 of cavalry, will amount to
Ub.bib horses and 100.700 mules.
. 350,000 Head Short.
The army has at present only 70,
000 head of horses and mules. This
means that approximately 350,000 head
of horses and mules must be bought
within the next six months. No in
formation has yet been received from
the army authorities in regard to how
the purchase of these horses and
inu'.cs will be made. In the judgment
of experienced horsemen, however, the
Eurchase of so large a number of
orses and mules within the limited
time available can best -be accom.
plished by setting a" definite price to
be paid by the army for the different
ilt that will nasa ItiAnrr.tinn for
their respective classes, and by estab
lishing ten or fifteen inspection points
where horses and mules may be
endeted for inspection. This will per
mit dealers, large or small, or even
farmers, to consign their horses di
rect to inspection points with
definite information in regard to whal
they will obtairfor them if they pass
inspection.
Cut Out Middleman.
"There seems to be no pood rea
son why the producers of horses
should not be permitted to sell them
directly to the government, if they
nass inspection, instead of being
obliged to sell them through some in
tervening contractor. It is earnestly to
be hoped that the army officials will
decide on some general plan.
"It must not be forgotten that the
allied nations are still in the market,
and will continue to be. Their need
for horses and mules is as great as for
guns and ammunition:' indeed, even
more so. because they can manu
facture the guns and ammunition in
their own countries, but their re
sources in horses and mules have
already been exhausted, and the
United Slates is the only source from
which they can obtain additional sup
plies. Eight hundred and fifty-three
thousand one hundred and sixteen
head of horses and 289,062 head of
mules have been exported, practically
alt of them for war purposes, during
the" thirty months ending March i,
1917. fn spite of the shortage ot
ships, 40.000 head of horses and mules
were shipped in January, 1917, and
more than 27,000 head in February,
1917.
Horses Win War.
"Kecent accounts from the battle
front relating the loss of hundreds ot
nieces of artillery by the Germans in
recent operations state that the loss
of these pieces was due recently to
the lack of artillery horses.
"It is fortunate that the United
States is well supplied with boffc
horses and mules at the present time,
but it is incumbent upon us, if we are
tomaintain our resources so as to ef
fectually back up our armies and
maintain maximum production on our
farms, to see that every good mare
is bred to a first class stallion this
seasoifi and that every effort is made
lo save the foals that will be coming
within the next six weeks. The war
iay yet be decided by the number
of horses available to the respective
belligerents, for on the far flung bat
tle lines and in the reserve made up
of our farm, forces,) the horse is the
most important single factor aside
from man." ,
Archbishop Urges Omaha
To Observe Rogation Days
' Archbishop Harty has sent a let
ter to the priests of the Catholic
diocese of Omaha, urging them' to
observe the Rogation days, which
this year fall on May 14-16. These
days, since file fifth century, have been
observed with solemn grayer and pro
cession by the Catholic church.
Archbishop Harty directs the
priests to recite the litany and the
Rogation prayers after each mass on
each of the days, and where practical,
within or without the churches, have
a solemn procession. '
Contending that this year there is
more reason than usual fori observing
the occasion, the archbishop says:
"In the many centuries, when has
there been a time in the church of
Christ, at virhich men needed the di
rect intervention of God more than
we do now, : when the nations are
threatened hi their prosperity, their
civilization and their life by the con
flagration of war?
"The flames are upon us; we fear
for ourselves and for our sons today,
as during the last three years we have
suffered with our brethren in sympa
thetic sorrow." s.

Seriousness of Live Stock Sit
uation Should Appeal to Con
sumer and Producer.
BANK DOUBLES DEPOSITS
Warsu'ng of the seriousness of the
live stock and food situation,"., as
sounded at the conference of leading
bnsiness men of the state at Lincoln,
will have a tendency to cause farmers
and stock growers fully to appreciate
the situation and make special ertorts
to increase production, commission
men t say.
l ie scarcity of tood and live stocK
is not a matter that should be considered-
bv the farmer onlv.'i said a
commission man yesterday. "The con
sumers should take need ot tne
alarming state of affairs and curb
their appetites a little. The visible
supply of meat is very low. At the
present rate of consumption we will
be having meatless days by August.
If the people will get along witn
less meat they will conserve the sup
ply and possibly extend the date
when the government will be com
pelled to order noimeats sold on cer
tain days."
I here is very little hope of im-
mediate relief. The outlook for meat
animals this fall is discouraging, as
the losses of sheep and cattle on the
western, ranges last winter were
unusually heavy. The prospects for
big crops this fall are none too bright.
I tell you it looks bad."

Bank Doubles Deposits.
The Live Stock National bank of
South Omaha, according to the an
nouncement of the comptroller of cur
rency, is the only'bank in the United
States in the $5,000,000 class that
doubled its deposits during the twelve
months prior to March 5, 1917. Dur
ing the period the increase was 114
per cent.

Omaha War Nevis
Lieutenant Wilbur of Company A
of the Fourth Guard has been de
tailed as recruiting officer for the en
listed men's reserve corps by the army
central department at Chicago. .' He
will receive applications from, other
men fitted to serve the army in spe
cialized capacities when needed.
Attorney AmOs Thomas on Satur
day received his commission as a
captain of cavalry in the army offi
cers' reserve corps. Attorney Anan
Raymond was also commissioned at
the same time by the War department,
but the commission had not reached
his office at 2 p. m. Saturday, although
supposed to have been mailed from
Washington with Thomas'.
Positions as yeomanettes on active
duty at the navy recruiting station
have a new significance to Miss Ruby
Jane Busse and Miss Emma Hen
dricks. They received the first of three
typhoid prophylaxis treatments Sat
urday, to render them immune to ty
phoid, and are now nursing slightly
sore-arms. The prophylaxis serum is
injected into the upper arm with a
hollow needle. Bysthis means typhoid
has been eliminated from all branches
of American military service.
Recruits in Colonel C. L. Mather's
volunteer regiment, which he plans to
offer the government for service in
France, will have rifle practice this
morning at 9 o'clock at the Greater
Omaha Rifle club's range near the end
of the East Omaha street car line.
Colonel Mather says that about 350
men have applied to join his regiment.
Many applicants are out-of-town men,
he says. "I have no criticism to make
of the National Guard," he says," "and
have always had high respect for. it.
Any idea that I have cast aspersions
upon the Guard is due to misunder
standing. Such was neither made nor
intended." His proposed regiment will
drill and prepare during spare time,
so that members may continue work
until such time as they may be accept
ed for service in France, he says.
Gifts of, flowers, magaaines and
other remembrances will be appreciat
ed by several National, Guardsmen in
the post hospital at Fort Crook, says
Lieutenant Reeves, surgeon in charge.
Four or five-lads of the Omaha bat
talion are on sick quarters there.
Eight recruits have been signed up
so far in Omaha for the machine gun
company of the Fjfth Nebraska ,Na
tional Guard. Chaplain Jean Cobbey
is using his law offices in the Keeline
building as a recruiting station. The
latest volunteers for the Fifth here
are Robert A. Jeffrey, school principal
at Orleans, and Donald G. Rozelle of
the South Side, whose father is a well
known mail carrier. The Fifth regi
ment expects to be called into federal
service soon, to take the place of the
Fourth on home guard duty, when
that regiment is ordered away for ac
tive war service.

Would Be Simple to Operate
In fact, so simple to operate that a woman
could quickly learn its manner of action andv

Because a truck is designed and intended for
strenuous duty is no excuse for its being hard to

Fourth District Congressman
to Go on Floor to Oppose
Tax on Ads.'
BITTERNESS CROPPING OUT
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, May 5. (Special .
Telegram.) The committee on ways
and means today did some lofty
tumbling in perfecting the war tax
measure.
By a sharp division, the main com
mittee supported the subcommittee's
recommendations creating zones for
second class postage matter and
turned down-Representative Sloan's
compromise as to the increase to
Chicago.
Upon the question of munitions
the committee refused to increase the
tax over the subcommittee's report
and then in the same breath voted a
tax of 5 per cent on all advertise
ments appearing in any newspapei
having second class mailing
privileges.
This is a heavy tax and Mr. Sloan
will not only take his compromise
zone tax on second class matter to
the floo' as well as the tax on ad
vertisements, but hopes to have sup
port from the members of the com
mittee. i
A good deal of bitterness was
shown in the consideration of the
war revenue bill today and it looks
as if it might grow.
