TITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANC. h. .fa ti. 20 (Correspondent of
The Associated Press) It would be
difficult to find a more pampered lot
of beings than the war-horses. In
the stress of battle they suffer with
the men. but the number of equine
"casualties" among the hundred of
thousands of horses employed 1 real
ly very small.
There are veteran among the
horses who have been three or four
times wounded; there are even those
who have suffered nervous break
downs from (lie shattering nhnrt ct
shells. If they were men In khaki
they would have golden stripes of
honor unon their sleeves, but the
faithful old horses go back to the
front time and time again asking
nothing in the way of rank or dis
tinction. Best of Food.
What, they get Instead Is the best
of food and plemv of it. tho kindest
of care and the keenest appreclalon of
tne services tney render. Visitors to
the battle zone Invariably express
amazement, at the appearance and
condition of the horses. Just now
they are snug nnd warm under tne
self-protection of their long winter
coats. They are fat and strong
muscled. They plod and splash con
tentedly through the mud In twos,
threes, fours or twelves, draggtng
guns and heavy wagons behind them
wKh never the necessity of a hsrsh
word or a whiplash from thejr
drivers. The men come to love the
horses. Officers who have been here
from the beginning, and there are still
a few left, say that in all that time
they have never seen an act of cruelty
toward horse 0r mule.
One reason for the splendid ap
pearance of the horses at th. front Is
th. fact that the moment on. be
gins to show sign of over-fatigue
or debilitation, he la taken out of er.
vice and sent back to a hospital to re
cuperate. Occasionally, too. the
horses come down with mud blisters
upon their backs, with an Injured foot
that may not have been noticed In
time, or with soma of the diseases
that equine flesh Is heir to. U I a
great tribute to the veterinary ser
vices, however, that most of the old
contagious diseases that used to de
cimate the ranks of horse In war
time, have, been effectually stamped
out and no longer give concern.
Glanders, for Instance, once a dread
scourge, is now a thing of the past.
None of th. horse in Franc. Is in
fected. Occasionally a ease comes
with a new shipment from abroad,
but It Is bulckly eliminated-
At the end of two year of the
South African war fully 90 per cent of
the horses had been affected by the
mange. During two year and a half
of ths nresent war. with the number
of horse,, engaged multiplied by thou
sands, less than two per cent have
been affected. Th. mule have
been even less Involved. As a mat
ter of fact th mule are so tougn
and hardy they eldom enter Into the
veterinary statistic.
Hospital Horse Heaven.
The hosoltala provided for them by
he army must very nearly approach
the horse's Idea of Heaven. It In a

"wards," especially at meal time.
Hometlmea th. convalescents stand
almost noa to nose, and If th. horse
across the way gets his hay first,
there is a terrible hullabaloo. A par
ttculsrly ravenous patient now and
then will not only eat bis portion of
hay but th rope net that surrounds
it. A few nights ago one had such
a healthy appetite he tried to eat the
blanket off his nearest neighbor.
All th horse In the hospital are
fed four time a day. The more
debilitated ones are fed five and six
times. When they are particularly
run down and In danger of being
mistaken for sort of bone-yard hat
racks, th. patient get nothing but
cooked foods, and thev fairly revel In
them. They have tonic, too, and It Is
remarkable to see the Improvement In
their condition that a few weeks
work. The diet for "debilities" con-
osts of oatmeal gruel, linseed gruel.
boiled turnip, and scalded oats.
Later they got crushed oals and
chopped hay. and almost before they
Know it are in th convalescent ward.
Th. operating rooms with their
big beds spresd upon the concrete
floors, are as cheery and immaculate
as If Intended for human beings. For
all except the most minor operations
so anaesthetic Is administered.
Th horse take the chloroform
remarkably weH", said the officer
commanding one of the hospitals to
the correspondent of The Associated
Press. I think we have lost but one
patient In the last six months", he
sdded.
"Pstient" seems a mos. appropri
ate designation for the horses. They
ar vary pictures of patience until
they reach the stage of convalescence.
Each patient has a little aluminum
tag and a hospital chart which tells
his age. color, where he came from,
what he shall havs to eat "and drink
and take, when he shall havs a nice
hot bath and various notations as to
hU condition- and behavior. There
U a personal touch about the treat
ment of th. horses which In Itself
bespeaks the esteem In which they
are held. Walking about the wards,
the "O. C." had a kind word or two
for his patients. It seemed a partlcu
larly human thing to do. And h. pat
ted most of th.m and called many by
name-
"This old charger", he said of one,
"Is a great favorite tn th. hospital.
H. has been one of th. brareaf of the
brave, has lost on eye In battle, and
so we called him Nelson.. I am go
ing to send to Pari and get him a

"If we were dealing with human

"we could run the -rrentnge up to

dealing with the horses we have at
time to weigh their cases In the
scales of pounds, shillings and "ence.
In other words, we have to decide
