Mounted Infantry Officers.
IPall MaliGazottc.1

The necessity of mounting all Cap
tains of infantry companies, if the
officers arc to perform their duties
efficiently, is being again dwelt upon
10y the French military press. In the
French army, as i'm nearly all other
Continental forces, company on war
footing, numbers two hundred and
fifty men, and it is urged that
il is simply impossible for the Cap
tain, however active he may be,
TO properly supcrintend its working If
he has To move about on foot. Extended
in skirmishing order, formation which
has now become its normal fighting
order, or employed as an advance or
rear guard, Il company of two hundred
and fifty men covers long stretch
of ground, and can, il is argued,
only bc adequately controlled by n
mounted officer. After march, again,
the captain of company ought to
look after the comfort Of his men,
visit them in their bivouacs, satisfy
himself that they have received their
proper rations, and see that all camp
duties are properly performed But il
he is fatigucd by long march on foot
he will be hut too likely To perform his
"V'" ~ ~
consequently his company will suffer.
Moreover, now that short-service sys-
tenn prevails in nearly every European
army, the captain of company will
generally be one of the oldest, if not the
Oldest man in it, and therefore notso well
able to- endure fatigue as the younger
men under his command. For all these
reasons il is generally recognized az
necessary that the captain should be u
mounted officer. In the German army
he is provided with horse, and in
time of war even with two. In Austria
and Italy the mounting of all captains
has only been temporarily postponed
from considerations of expense, and in
France captain, when on line of
march or during maneuvers in the
field, may ride if he chooses to provide
himself with a horse at his own cost
but unfortunately the small pay re-
ceived by them does not allow many Of
the French officers to avail Themselves
of this permission.
