Army Horse Business in Ten Months of War
In ten months since war was declared the U S Army remount service expanded from 66 145 horses to over 000. It built 34 depots with hospitals and storage, increased veterinary officers from 64 to 1000, and enlisted men from near zero to 12 000. Deaths rose from shipping fever to 3 per 1000 head early, then declined as sanitary measures and hospitals improved. The effort, though costly, aims to curb losses and improve horse health amid crowded conditions.

Destruction of Rabbits and Rodin's Proposed Plan
An Melbourne pamphlet by W Rodin argues current rabbit destruction fails as traps and poison kill more males than females. He proposes catching rabbits alive, releasing males, and killing females and young to drive the pest to extinction with males persecuting unreconciled females and natural deaths. He urges supporters to consider this plan.
