Germans Experiment With New Style
Fer Cavalry.

Germans Experiment With New Style
Fer Cavalry.
The lance as cavalry weapon has
justified its existence, military experts
agree, in the South African and the
RUsso-Japanese war in spite of those
who decried the arm as old fashioned
and cumbersome. The German mill
tary authorities still believe in shock
tactics and the cavalry charge, and I'M
der those circumstances the lance in
the Prussian Uhlan's hands remains n
formidable weapon.
Experience, however. has also shown
that the lance point often makes too
deep wounds for the shaft to be with
drawn quickly. and so the lancer runs
the risk of having it wrenched from
his grasp in the charge. The cavalry
regiments stationed at Brunswick and
Strasburg are experimenting with a
new kind of lance which carries a ball
below the base of the lance head, pre-
venting it from penetrating further
1t is said that the new arm is Just
as effective in disabling an enemy and
is free from other disadvantages. II
will probably be adopted by all the
German lancer regiments.

AERIAL BUOYS ARE PATENTED
German Aeronauts Want channelo
Marked In Sky.

German aeronauts are already talk
ing about the mapping out of properly
lighted airship tracks for the guidance
Of dirigibles and aeroplanes travelling
by night or when weather conditions
make it necessary for airmen to fy
above low hanging clouds which hide
the landscapes The technical paper
Luftscnifhalle says that a patent has
just been issued for a new system of
stationary luminous aerial buoys Of
enormous candle power.
They are to be connected by wires
with the earth. Different colors are
proposed as signals indicating threat
ening storms, the direction of the sur
face winds and dangerous landing
places.
The only objection seems to be the
cost Of lighting a whole air track,
as buoys to be effective should
not be placed too far apart. Never
theless, it seems the system is going
to be adopted for a start by some
large cities to equip their landing
places for airships.
