The ingpection of the unofficially an nounced “French war order’” of 26,- 000 or more American bred horses for service In the war had begun President Proctor of the Omaha horse nmarket, now the targest single mar- ket of its kind in the world, stood nearby directing the parade of the horses. | Work Begina fnarly. Yesterday the work of inspection for the tremendous order was begun. Mujor | Courtols, Captaln Locombe and Lieu- the French government, were hard at work, completing the inspection at 10 o'clock. | Major Courtois, who is superintendent of the French buying and inspecting staff In the United States, was the honored guest at the lucal yards yesterday. Aftera tour of the important markets of the country he had come to Omaha. | The major seemed highly indignant at baving his picture snapped, but finally conscnted to the procedure after severa! action plants had been taken. He is here, delegated by his government to keep buying horses for war purposes until the , war is ended. The French order, al-| though formerly announced as a $1,000,00 affair, i1s much the same as the English | order, a regular buying one. The major and his staff are very par- ticular about the kind of horses they buy. They are expert judges as to age. breeding and other characteristics of lorses. | From now on the Inspection will be continued dally from 8:30 a. m. until 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The buy- ing will be carried on indefinitely with the English and French buyers working mornings and afternoons. | Steeds Ridden and Driven. The South Omaha Horse and Mule company is showing the buyers the horses it has for sale and one by one they are examined, stepped up and down | in front of the big barns, measured, rid- den, driven and then accepted or refected by the officers. Many are turned down for minor defects and no arguing or coaxing the part of salesmen suffices to change the decision of the officers. A horse is trotted out from the barn | It is stoppeq before the judges.

Deny War Horses Short-Lived. | None of the three wish to be quoted and are rather careful about saying any- | thing that might be misleading, although they seem to be rather incensed over the prevaliing idea that the life of a horse on the battle front is but a few days. They insist that a year would more nearly approximate the average life of an army horse in the presemt war and say that they have a great many more horses now than they had at the beglnning of the war, and that they have lost less than they have bought. No orders have been received by the buyers as to the number of horses that should be bought, and they announce that they will buy until the end of the war, or until the American supply runs out. High prices are prevalling, but of several hundred horses examined in the morning only sixteen were epted. | to umsha, Lieutenant Cayrou and Captain La- combe will probably make Omaha their headquarters for a long period, as they have found that a large number of horses are always avallable here, and it seems probable that their purchases’ may total milllons of dollars. When asked if they preferred buying horses to fighting in France the officers answered unhesitatingly that they in- finitely preferred the fighting, but that orders were positive and had to be obeyed. “It is much less dangerous, of course, | in America,” sald someone | Just then a viclous horse kicked the | cane from Lieutenant Cayrou's hand. He jumved to one side and laughed. “I'm not so sure,” he said, MISS KING SPENDS VACAT!ON IN STOR™ SWEPT TEXAS | Miss Vivian ¥ing of Omaha spent her | vacation in Texas. Tt was not alto- gether a pleasant vacatlon, for although she was not at Galveston, she was in the region visited by the great storm. “l was 200 miles Inland from Gal- veston,” said Miss King, “and although we A1d not get the worst of it, we wers struck hard enough. It was not the most pleasant vacation I have ever spent, The wind blew sixty-five miles an hour where we were, destroyed many build. Ings, and ruined most of the crops. Es- pectally the lowland crops were ruined, for although the flood from the coast @id not reach us, it rained for seventy- two hours, which was almost as bad There were no lives lost in our immedia: neighborhood.” | | |a special Tl Bl CEIEF INSPECTOR FOR THE FRENCH ARMY IN OMAHA.

The prediction with ref- erence to corn generally is that the whole problem is one of weather. With dry and hot weather, a bumper crop is looked for, but should it continue wet and a killing frost occur before September, a lot of soft corn is looked for The estimate on the condit'on of the corn crop, based on 10 per c #( as the normal, and the comparison with one week ago follows by divisions Now Week ag Omaha 9 32 Lincoln i a1 McCook 17 107 Wymore ...l o 108 As to wheat, the report states that some of the crop is still in the shock, but that most of it has been stacked. With ihe| threshing that has been done, the claim is made that wheat is going to come out better than was anticipated. To sub- slantiate the claim, by, divisions and on a basis of 100 per zent for a perfoct crop, a compaiison is made botween present conditions and these one week ago. The comparisun s Omaha ..

And that is precisely why we are such bitt r enemies.” Thus does it seem that the old enthusiasm, the fighting spirit, the “place in the sun” idea, is no longer the moving soul of armies. To-day all is mathematical and mechanical. Men move like machines "nd are mowed down like grain before machines.
