pretty lively rate.
-One evening the operations hegan at

In that time the cavalry-9,Oo0 mounted
meu-Nent thirty-two miles. The las,
four miles was a charge at full speed. and
when il was over there was not a helmet

THE Germans breed their own cavalry
horses. and they know Low to do it. When
we went over there we expected to boast
a little about the superiority Of our ker-
lucky moun,s. but We didn boast when
we saw their horses. We haven't anything
like them. They breed special classes Of
iorses for light cavalry, heavy cavalry.
light artillery. heavy artillery and trans
portation. The Emperor told us that lie
put az much Arab blood into the breed as
Vas possible without making the animals
