Of the cemetery. a reply TO the list Of
questions recently drawn UP at meet
ing OF the protestants and forwarded
to the vestry.
Nearly six weeks have elapsed since
these questions were filed. Attorneys
for the cemetery evidently gave them
most careful consideration. Their most
important statement, in justifying the
management of the cemetery, is contain
ed in the definite announcement that
Rock Creek Cemetery is not an incor-
pOrated body. The lot holders. they say.
Furthermore. ARE neither stockholders

Mr.. Clipper said in regard to this to-

Them on Foot.

POOR RIDERS ARE DEBARRED

The Secretary of War. acting upon
the recommendaTic" of the general staff
OF the army, has made the assignments
of the military cadets who recently were
graduated from the Military Academy
at West Point. Included in this list are
many Washingtonians, some of whom
were graduated with honors from the
Academy.
In making the assignments this year
a new policy was adopted Inspector
General Burton recently made a most
interesting report to the Secretary. in
which he urgently recommended that Sc
lection Of cadets for the cavalry arm of
the service be made with the greatest
care. He said that fat men. or men who
had not shown any particular fondness
for horses during their four years at
West Point should not be assigned to
the cavalry, no matter whether they
graduated sufficiently high or not.
Hitherto IL has been the policy Of the
War Department to give cadets who
were graduated with high marks their
choice between the cavalry and the In
fantry arms of the service. In the fu-
ture no cadets who are over certain
weight will be sent to the cavalry, nor
will those men who have shown at West
Point timidity in hCrsemanship be as
signed to the mounted branches OF the
army.
