Interest was evinced by Army offi- cers, especially those of the mounted eervices, in the recent conference of purchasing officers of the Remount Service, Quartermaster Corps, held at Fort Reno, Qkla., the primary purpose of which was to establish uniformity in the type of horses purchased for the Army for the fiscal year 1926. Immense value was derived by the officers attending this conference, as it afforded them the opportunity of see- ing the type of horses being purchased | throughout the coyntry, which will | regulate their purchases made else. ! where. The animals now being pur- chased for the military estublishment {bred and are of a_ distinctive riding type, which are difficult to secure at | the " Government price. ~ However. many excellent mounts between 15 hands and 15.3 hands are belng ob- tained by the purchasing officers which are similar to the Waler type, which was used to such great advantage in Gen. Allenby’s campaign in Palestine. Intimate contact has been estab- lished by all purchasing and breeding headquarters with the best horae sec- tions and breeders, especially in the West. Buch close relationship with the horse centers will make it possible for the Government to obtain excellent mounts at a reasonable price, and should ever a national emergency WASHINGTON, jerowds are making indicate that they have been carefully | D.

Excellent results have been obtained from the tests of the two types ol caliber .45 tracer cartridge developed by Frankford Arsenal, one of whick produces a red trace and the other a green trace. The tests have been con- ducted by the following branches of the service: Infantry, Field Artillery, Const Artillery, Cavalry and Alr | Service. . Signal Corps, | ‘The tests up to the present time in- dicate that this ammunition is very effective for night signaling, a clear trace for approximately 600 yards be- ing easily discernible. The exper!. ments conducted during the day, how- ever, were not so satisfactory, suffi- clent brilifance not being given by the tracing mixture for effective day sig- naling or for designating targets. In an effort to increase the daylight visibility of these mixtures, 3,000 rounds of each type will be manufac- tured for an exhaustive test, which ‘will be conducted by the Infantry.
