National Human Review. '
There are 4500,000 horses engaged
In this war. On . the .western front
the losses have averaged 47,000 horses
month. In eight hours . nghtlng
along a 8-tnlle front at
Verdun the
French lost 6,011 horses.
More than 1,500,000 of America's
horses have been purchased for "service
with the allies. In - the first seven
months of 1917 the value of-horses
diipped to Kurope from American ports
waa $29327,333. For the month of
Tuly alone the value was 11,377,202.
VV'satage of horses -means an enormous
money loss, .which mere money cannot
now replace; Thirty-three thousand
horses' have died in America while
awaiting shipment and 6,000 have died
at sea in course of transit - ,
In nine weeks the British captured
S32 German field and heavy guns and
lost none. The German losses are
partly due to lack of horses.

Por three ssoutha these yoong men
have given their loyal ami undivided
efforts to prepare tbemserrea to lead
meq In America's mighty forces la the
battle for world democracy. For three
months every home tie. every wish
and every ambition has been made
secondary to tbe duties that confront
ed them at camp.' That tbey have
worked faithfully. Intelligently and
well Is signified by tbe gold hat cord
and tbe officers' insignia that adorn
their uniforms.
Each or the four young officers is
typical of the stalwart fighting man
hood of North Carolina. . They have
lived cleanly, fought squarely for tbeir
honors and have won. Now they go
forth aa leaders and carry with them
tbe ideala of the best that la in the
army, which bare been Impressed upon
them from day to day by leaders of
America's fighting forces as well as
representatives of tbe French and
British army. They have the youth,
spirit and courage of the American
youth that army men believe will de
velop an unbeatable esprit de corps in
America's new army. .They have been
taught to lead and not drive men; to
eonvince them that right living pays
because they live right; that it'a hon
orahle to be an American otllcer by
always maintaining honor; that France
and all Euro; are going to judge
America by its officers and meu and
that the part they pUy on aud off tbe
buttle field will be . written in the
Judgment. .
Each of the young men selected the
Infantry and each asked for a place
lu the line. "Into the thick of it" they
wanted to go and. one who has known
them muuy mouths and who Is famil
iar with their training, believes that
when the signal sounds they will go
"over the top" and play a man's part
in a mau s way.
