CHANGES III CAVALRY METHODS.
The Small Man May Yet Become tho
Most Desirable Soldier.

The improvement OF military rifles
and other death dealing devices has
done away almost entirely with hand
to-hand fighting. There was time
in warfare when men on powerful
horses, armed with heavy sabers, rode
to the opposing force and cut their
opponsnts down by sheer physical
force. For such exploits the heaviest
horse and large men were most effec-
tive. With modern magazine and ma
chine guns cavalry charge OF the old
fashioned sort is practically out of the
question, but this does not mean that
arm of the military service. 1t will
simply have to be made to conform to
the changed conditions. The same
change in weapons that has made di-
rect frontal attack impracticable has
naturally compelled resort in strate-
gic methods. To accomplish effective
maneuvering speed is prime essen
tial and cavalry or mounted infantry
must be employed. In fact, with the
present method of arming cavalry, it
is practically mounted infantry, the
horse being used primarily as means
OF transportation.
This disuse of the ld-fashioned cav
airy methods changes the requirements
for the mounted service. The fact
that there are likely to be few hand
to-hand encounters will make small
men particularly available for this arm
of the military service. Small men
can be carried long distances with
much less fatigue to the horses-a fact
which is important when it is consid-
cred that IN many countries the sol
diers will have to be mounted on small
native horses, The horses of the
tropics and of countries like the Trans
vaal, New Mexico and Arizona have
food aud water endurance much in ex-
cess of the heavy horses of temperate
zones, and the fact that these animals
are generally small adds to the de"
STABILITY of small men for mounted
service. A special dispatch from Col
orado Springs reports that trainload
of Colorado ''bronchos" is soon to be
shipped to South Africa for the use of
the British army, this kind of horse
having been found preferable. The
''broncho" is able to carry pack of
300 pounds long distance without
food or water, but it cannot move
rapidly with its maximum load. To
the extent which the load is reduced
the efficiency of the animal is increased
and the mobility and effectiveness OF
the mounted service augmented.
Apparently there is a fine chance for
the small man to become the most de-
sirable sort of soldier. Hitherto he
has escaped military service, especially
for the infantry. Perhaps in the
future the small man will find himself
eligible to military service, if not actu-
ally preferred for some branches of it.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-06-11

The view has been very generally
entertained that all efforts to promote
the cause of peace and order in the
world by cut-and-d dried schemes are
bound to fail, and it must be admit
ted that few truer words have been
written than. those which stand at the
head of this article. But this truth,
like some others, may be abused.
Evidences are not wanting to show
that the incredulity which preceded
the convening of the Peace Confer
ence, the skepticism which marked
its first sessions. and certain want
of faith which has since been mani
tested in various quarters in the prac-
teal value of the measures adopted,
are all mainly due to misapplication
of this truth.
The measures formulated at The
Hague do not constitute 'cut-and-
dried scheme" but, on the contrary,
they form an additional step in a nat.
ural, healthy and orderly evolution of
the forces of peace which have so ef-
fectively asserted themselves in the
improvement of international relations
during the latter half of this century.

Froclxs For Weddings.

Decided originality is shown by
many of the frocks now in preparation
for weddings. The first one shown in
the large cut, reproduced from the
New York Evening Sun, is q wedding
gown in white satin. It's long tunic,
reaching clear to the skirt hem, is cut
into series of deep points finished
all around with frill upon frill in white
chiffon. A frilled and killed under
skirt in chiffon is revealed by the
tunic's points. The corsage consists
of an underblouse in killed chiffon
with bolero of the satin edged with
chiffon frill.
All-lace wedding gowns will be popu-
lar. Here is one fashioned in fetch
ing way that can scarcely be improved
upon as model for this sort of frock
in this sort of material. Its founda-
tion, of course, is white satin, over
which is draped the lace. In this
case, the lace is Brussels of the finest
pattern. An edQinG c: chiffon fri.ls

A puzzling problem for educators is
how to increase the proportion of
high school pupils who continue to
ihe end of the course, albeit the solu-
tion of the problem might necessitate
an increase in many places Of high
school accommodations. From an in
quiry on this subject, instituted in
Philadelphia, it appears that one rea-
son for the dropping out OF pupils
from the girls high school in that city
is a failure on examination in one or
two subjects. Probably the same
reason exists in the boys school. Dir.
Thomas G. Morton, chairman of the
boards committee oa the girls high
school, points out that many bright
girl is now practically driven from the
school because she does not possess
special aptitude in one subject. "Be-
cause a girl can't draw a picture of a
horse" said DR.. Morton, 'is no rea-
son for keeping her out of an educa-
tion in other branches" He believes
that the present curriculum of the
school is drawn on lines not sufficient
ly elastic. He would discriminate
for the benefit of the individual girl
and her special aptitude. And he
would readiust the courses in the high
school in manner to permit any girl
of intelligence to continue her course
in spite OF failure in one or two sub
iects.

SfRAhGESf AMONG The
PEOPLE OF THE W0RkD ARE
THE DRUSES OF SYRIA.

DIR. Max Oppenheim, distinguished
European scientist and scholar, re-
Gently completed one OF the most re-
marEable journeys ever undertaken
in the East. He explored little known
and out Of the way parts of the Holy
Land. He penetrated to Damascus,
which is rarely visited, and made
careful observations of the life of the
people now living in that ancient city.
During his journey DR.. Oppenheim
took multitude of photographs show
ing the daily life of the people he WIS.,
tied. These have now been devel-
oped and printed in the New York
Herald and they have excited much
interest among scientific men in Ger
many who have learned of the results
of DR.. Oppenheim's journey.
DIR. Oppenheim made his way with
private caravan from the Mediter-
ranean to the Persian Gulf. The at
tention of the world is fixed upon this
wide domain, for here lies the land
which Germany, England and Russia
are competing with one another to pos
sess by the building of railways. To
gain any real information of the peo-
pie inhabiting this country man
must be not merely an observer, but
linguist as well. He should under
stand Turkish, Arabic, Syriac and
other Oriental tongues, and DR.. Op-
penheim was we'll fitted for his task,
after a residence in Egypt of several
years.
Landing at Beyrout he gathered his
little caravan about him, and worked
his way up through the Lebanon
Mountains. He found mixed null
titude inhabiting these mountains, so
famous for their cedars in Bible times.
The Syrians, he found, were Chris
tians, but there were any number of
sects, Roman Catholic, Maronites,
Jacobites, Greek Catholics and 9TH
ers. e'attributes much of the suf-
fering of these people to their divis-
ions and lack of intelligent leaders.

hammedan inhabitants of the harem
wrapped up to the eyes.
From Damascus DIR. Oppenheim set
out with his caravan, consisting OF
ten persons besides his three camel
drivers, two hostlers, two Syrian SER
wants and an Armenian cook, Bed
ouin and a pupil of the medical
school at Beyrout. He made his way
through the wastes of the desert,
studying as he went the Druses, whom
he had found in the Lebanon district
and scattered east of the Jordan
River.
These, he thinks, form probably the
strangest nation in the world. The
women are beautiful, the men are
brave and intelligent. Their religion
is very curious, being compounded of
Mohammedanism mixed with some
elements of Christianity. 1t is hard
for any one to say precisely what the
Druses do believe, but their life is
peculiarly simple and righteous one.

it has not been generally adopted. c]

it has not been generally adopted.
The deep hem or frill, with the trim
ming in the skirt above it still OBJ
tains. Designers have at last sue
ceeded in producing pattern for a
circular-cut skirt in frock or coat that
does not sag in the seams or hang un-
evenly. This model is universally
shown.
In cotton frocks seams are connect
ed with insertion by lines of veining.
These stripes of insertion extend in
some models to the extreme edge of
the hem. In others they terminate
where the additional circular is at
tached. The Eton or bolero effect is
noted quite as often for children as
