REPLACEMENT OF ANIMALS IN CAMPAIGN<br />

Conclusion.—With the farmer and the sportsman interested and taking<br />

pride in the breeding of fine horses; with the splendid work now being<br />

carried on by the American Remount Association together with the various<br />

departments of the Government; and with the Army carrying the gospel to<br />

the youth of the land by way of the R.O.T.C. units, there is every reason for<br />

the lover of fine horses to be optimistic and to feel that in spite of all the<br />

mechanical geniuses the next war will see the horse playing a very<br />

important part.<br />

Note.—The writer gratefully acknowledges the following sources of<br />

information: Army Regulations; "Report on Remount Service, A.E.F.<br />

France"; and especially a series of lectures by Captain D. M. Speed,<br />

Quartermaster Corps, from which extracts were freely taken.<br />
