The Use of Cavalry.

In the old days troops were safe
when held in reserve 500 yards back of
the fighting line. Now for $500. yards
behind this line the ground is torn by
bullets. Consequently troops are held
5000 yards back, and even at this dis
lance there will be occasional casual
ties. To take part in an engagement
the reserve force must be moved
through this wide and dangerous zone.
Infantry cannot do it in less that twen-
ty-five minutes. and another ten min
utes will be used in getting them into
line. Cavalry can cover the distance
in six minutes. The rapidity with
which their range alters makes them

In II states there is no artillery at

guns are worthless for anything more
than salutes. So far the government
has distributed but AZ of the 2-3 inch

guns has ever been used at target
practice, so that the gunners have
need of complete instruction in hand

suit in serious drain upon the am
