GOOD-BYE THE 'WALER!
A CAVALRYMAN'S COMPLAINT. WHEN "WAR COMES THIS "WAY. SYDNEY, August 11. Presiding at the annual meeting of the New South Wales Lancers Association, Lieutenant-Colonel McMahon sounded a note of warning , when he said that if Australia suddenly was called upon to provide troop horses for a few light j horse brigades, she would have the greatest difficulty in doing so, as the breeder of the type of horse required for | nilitary purposes was fa.-t going out of i business. i No encouragement was given to the I breeder of the kind of horses which I would be required in case of national emergency. Colonel McMahon said the increase in the number of motor cars was having a depressing effect on the horse breeding industry.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
