THE HORSE IN THE WAR..

So soldom do we read in the accounts from the various fields of battle any reference to the invaluable service rendered by the horse, that many must have formed the impression that the horse has beou almost entirely superceded by the motor. Generals, whe in the older wars, inspected their lines on prancing steeds, now dash along in motor ears; dispatches are carried by then on motor cycles or in motor cars, and one derives from the reports the impression that practically all the haulage work is [876

done by motor traction man power. But an extremely interest ing article in the Nineteenth Century shows how orroneous is the idea that forses have become unnecessary to a modern army, We suppose this false impression has been due not so much to the omission to dwell upon the services of the draught horses in the descriptive accounts of the battlefield, as to what we may call the over-emphasis laid on mechanical haulage, due to the fact
