When we think of the horrors of war, when there rises before the mind the awful panorama of the battlefield, the men are not the only pathetic figures. An equal demand has been made on those noble animals who, when guided by a rider's hand, will face the cannon's mouth. They have to fight and suffer together, but there is this difference, the horses are not free agents, they have no exhortations of patriotic duty ... Do something for the horses - help the Blue Cross Fund.
