Thus far the bicycle has been q distinct

Thus far the bicycle has been 4 distinct
failure as q means of locomotion for
soldiers. Previous tO the war, 1t was
thought that horses would in . large
measure be displaced BY the more
modern bicycle, but, though whole
companies Of soldiers had learned to
ride tho wheel, when ordered to the
front the wheel was left behind and the
ancient old horse was taken along. It
may be that there is place in the mill
tary department somewhere where the
modern bicycle can be used to advant.

In war, as in herding cattle, q mount Is
needed that eau 20 anywhere and not
need the constant attention Of the rider
to keep going. As no horses can be
taken to the Philippines, on account
OF tl,e climate, it might be good plan
to take along few wheels for expert
mental purposes. A company Of sharp
shooters, mounted on good, substantial
wheels might be able to accomplish some
thing in making rapid marches, but be-
yond that the wheels would be useless.
