Suggests Practical Teets.
Brigadier General Albert l.. Myer,
commanding the Department OF Texas,
In his recent annual report to the War
Department has suggested u modihca-
ton of the 80 mile test to conform to
practical purposes. He states: ..
There are many very efficient and
valuable field officers, particularly In
the stan and supply departments. who
would never In any circumstances be
required to make any such rides. A
ride Of a reasonable number OF miles
per day for fve or six days continu
ously. with distances, camping and
time such as might occur In rapid
concentration or mobilization OF troops
In case OF war, would be a practicable
test. | doubt II a rate OF thirty miles
C day for three days In a specified mum
I Der of hours has ever occurred In nc
tual service. although much more Sc
we're rides have been made by troops
without any previous preparation,
am In favor OF yearly physical exam
nations OF all officers to ascertain
their fitness for the peculiar duties
they are likely to be called on to per
form"
