The Horse in War.
Making every allowance for the exaggeration which accompanies so many reports from the seat al war, it is reasonable to believe that the losses have been very eerious to a vast army so actively engaged and so far travelled, without rest, from its base of supplies. The evidence of these losses is to be found in the frequent emeshing up of German batteries now being reported and which are doubtless due to the lack of material for moving the gune 48 they were moved at the begin- ning of hostilities. An army horses is heavily handicapped and this is a bandicap which both Germany and Austria (to whom all outside supplies aro com- plately cut off, excepting insigni ficant numbers that might be obtained from Norway, Sweden or Holland) are bound to suffer more and more as the war proceeds,

no matter what it coats in money and in. lives." But whatever social changes may follow upon the conclusion of the war, the sobriety of the men in the actual field of operations cannot bat redound to the credit of the men themselves and the nation to which they belong. In this con- nection we may recall Lord Kit- chener's advice to the British troops to guard, among other things, against the temptations of wine, and the cables have told as this weak of the efforts made by Lord Kitchener's sister to get soldiers to sign the pledge for the period of the War. The armies in the western theatre of war have been fighting in a country where the abundance of wine is a special temptation. The greater, therefore, is the virtue of abstin- ence. Our troops in the field have taken heed of Lord Kitchen- er's advice to them on the subject. We do not know whether any similar advice was impressed upon the Kaiser's force, but the reports from the field of war go to show that temperance is not a marked virine among them, and the ingredible Birqoition with which they are continually being charged are not improbably in many cases but the direct results.

The Strategic Air-Scout and its
MassDuties"
From the excellent series of articles dealing with the interent ing subject of aircraft in warfare we learn that the strategic value of the seroplane depends mainly upon its utility for the purpose of reconaissance; briefly it is its value as an informer, rather than as a fighter that is of service to the headquarters staff. The duties of a machine thus aoting are necessarily of an
an entirely different character to those of a machine employed in the minor operations of the field, whether for tactical scouting, direction of gun-fire, or otherwise. Not only will the flight range, as deter far more important factor in ita mined by its petrol capacity, be design, since it will require to operate over a large area, and to cover long distance over the enemy'a territory, where any renewal of fuel supply is possible, but also its flight speed must be such as to rendaris. rassonably secure against parquit Anything serious in the direction of armour or armament will ba entirely out of place, since under ap, curcumatano
