it sometimes becomes necessary
to sacrifice large bodies of cavalry
by leading them 10 desperate
charges, as was done, for instance,
in the three great battles before
Metz by both sides. and at Sedan
by the French. Besides the above
enumerated uses, each of the four
different cavalry branches is
trained 10 perform special duties.
The Cuirassiers, who constitute
the heaviest cavalry, are all large,
well-bui1t men, and the strongest
and heaviest horses are picked
out for their use. They accom-
pany the main body of the army,

men except the officers are armed
cavalry swords; the form of the
latter, however, is different in
each of the four branches. Lances
used to be carried By Uhlans only,
but have since 1889 been fur
mis- he'd to the entire cavalry, be-
cause they proved so effective in
the hands of The Uhlans in the
French war. The best military
auth critics prophesy they will
prove of much value in the next
war; but as yet other countries
have not initiated Germany in
this respect. In Austria not even
the Uhlans, who in that country
belong TO the light cavalry, are
provided with lances. In the
other countries lanees are car
ried by the Uhlans, Cossacks,
Chase urs and Cavallegieri.
The employment OF cavalry IN
battle depends entirely on the
disposition of the commanding
general. He may use any or all
OF the different branches to
charge the enemy's forces, to
esta blish or destroy communica-
tions, to pursue the enemy AID
to make prisoners. to furnish safe
guards to the transportation and
