WASHINGTON, May With the view of improving the breed of light horses, farm, and harness throughout the country, Senator Pittman of Nevada, has introduced an amendment to be proposed to the agricultural appropriation bill calling for the immediate appropriation of millions for the extension of the armed army remount stations. The army maintains one of these remount stations at Fort Royal, Va., from which stone of the finest horses in the United States cavalry have come into use. If the United States should become embroiled with a foreign power, and there is no reason to believe that any large number of those could be purchased for military purposes. In the event of hostilities, the cavalry and field artillery and staff officers of the army would have to depend upon half-breed, ill-trained horses and heavy horses similar to those used for heavy hauling. Thus, the efficiency of the cavalry and artillery would be attacked at its very keystone, its mobility.

THIS IS THIS VISIT TO THE SECTIONS
Discussing the plan to extend this service, Senator Pittman said:
"The Department of Agriculture has taken the position that the object of the remount system is to raise horses for purely military purposes, and that, therefore, the work should be handled by"  The War Department.
