ARMY BICYCLE CORPS.
Advantages Of the wheel Over the
Horse Made Patent by Experiments.


Horse Made Patent by Experiments.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2o.-The War De-
partment has made public the report of
James A. Moss. Twenty-hfth Infantry. who
commanded the bicycle corps which made
the long journey from Fort Missoula,
Mont. 10 ST. Louis last summer. The docu-
ment is filled with information of the great
est value to bicyclists who contemplate
making long rips awheel. Every ounce of
food eaten. every days events. mishaps and
experiences are set down with military ex-
actness yet in style that makes the sub
ject entertaining reading for wheelmen.
There were made long miles of walking and
stopping in the rain, of toiling along in the
hot sun or in the sleet, or suffering from
the use of aIkali water, of hunger and of
thirst The purpose was to test the value
of the bicycle as a military adjunct and
the conclusion of Captain Moss upon this
point in his own language is as follows:
Military cycling in our army is in its very
infancy and no one but person who has
had actual experience in this line can fully
appreciate the possibilities of the wheel
a machine for military work. The bike has
q number Of advanta ses over the horse-it
does not require as much care; it needs
no forage; it moves much faster over fair
roads; Ii is not as conspicuous and can be
hidden from view more easily; it is noiseiess
and raises but little dust and 1t is impos-
sible 10 determine direction from it's track.
Furthermore, the fighting strength of BIZ
cycle corps is not diminished by horse hold
ers Under favorable conditions the bicycle
is invaluable for courier work, scouting
duty, road patrOlling, rapid reconnaissance,
etc. A bicycle corps as an adjunct to in
fantry or cavalry could render excellent
service where speed rather than number is
required, such taking possession of
passes. bridges and strong places ahead of
the command and holding them until rein
foreements could be got from the main
road. On the other hand, in rainy weather,
over bad roads. etc. the horse is superior.
The very thought of the bicycle doing away
with the cavalry altogether is ludicrous.
Each has peculiar functions of it's own--a
particular field in which, under certain con-
ditions. the one is superior to the other.
The question. therefore, which confrOnts us
is: Should not "a modern, up-to-date army
have both, that it might avail itself of the
advantages of the one or the other as the
proper conditions present themselves?'

in the dilemma. Every effort is being
made to relieve the congestion by having
the sc wers tenn porarily repaired under the
maternity ward, but 10 do this it will be
necessary to draw on the general funds OF
the building, and the appropriation Is al
most exhausted. While contractors have
been grossly overcharging for insi significant
repairs, the sick and unfortunate have
found the doors closed 10 them. Unless
the maternity war can be reopeped by
February /, the Board of Health will de-
clare the City and County Hospital closed
to further corners.
IL is conceded that had the repairs ap-
preparation been carefully expended this
emergency would not have arisen. The
drainage of two of the wards could have
been improved so as to render them
habi able for any case. Should the re-
ceiving hospital become overerowded the

porary emergency shelter or become re-
