It has been well asked \Will the horse win the War?\ The National Humane Review answers how: \First by hauling the food and supplies to the soldier. The fighting man cannot fight without these.. Without food and supplies he is a dead factor. Second by bringing up the artillery to pursue the fleeing foe. England with plenty of horses has lost scarcely a cannon for montha. Germany, whose horse sup- ply 1B running low. and cannot drag her guns from the field, has lost heavily in field artillery.\ It is a recognized fact that the horse plays a most im- portant part in every war and this volunteer contingent is one of the greatest assets for a successful army. This is* a struggle of unparalled Im- portance. Our sympathies are ex- panding dally and looking beyond the economic point and it does not require a very large or unselfish heart to go out in pity to these volunteers, who are fighting battles not their own, and are making charge upon charge at man's bidding and galloping on to cer- tain death with a courage and willing- ness to do their bit that Is unequalled. Are they to be left wounded and un- cared for to die on the battlefields or, as they so richly merit, cfre they to be taken back for treatment that they may continue to do their part in this awful struggle?
