The Future OF Cavalry.

The military experts Of EuroTr, il is said,
have been giving great deal OF attention re-
Gently to the examination and discussion OF
the subject OF The probable uses IL " hclI cav
airy will be put in future wars, in view OF the
fact that the science OF warfare has been so
greatly developed in recent years. The in.
PRODUCTION OF firearms, with an immensely
Increased length and effectiveness OF range.
and of SmokelcsS powder, renders cavalry
charges impossible. since they would be clear
ly seen IN a smukrlcsS field, and accurate
guns would totally destroy the participaturs
before they hnd advanced even Il short dis
tancc.
AS the science OF fighting is developed more
and more, the fighters are farther separated
from each other, 20 IL seems as though
cavalry Is no more 10 be or any great
value.
ut IS held by Austrian military men," says
the Boston IIelald, "who have been, pcr:a pS,
more attentive In studying matters of this
kind than others, or II not more attentive at
least more free IN expressing their opinions,
tnat cavalry In the future will have To he con-
sidered as mounted infantry: that is, the cav
uses his horse simply for the means Of cover.
ing n considerable distance in a short space
Of time, but who is prepared 10 fight OH iODt
when lhe occasion calls for II, with q long
range rifle"
This is, of course, nothing more than saying
that there will be no more cavalry horses
will be merely used by Infantry for purposes
of transportation. One more romantic feat
ure OF wars will thus be taken away, and 1t
Is good TO remove their romantic features, as
naturally the more uninriting and deadly
wars become, The Less eagerly they viii he
