principal questions which the war de-
partment hopes to settle as n result OF
the maneuvering In Texas and Califor-
MIA is whether the army as now organ
ized is provided with an overstock or

This is a matter over which there has
been a division OF opinion among army
officers. some holding that the army
would be hindered In a march by the
large amount of impedimenta 1t carries.
while others think 1t should be even
more heavily equipped

decided was whether there should be a
reorganization OF the cavalry. II Is con-
tended this branch OF the service should
be more In accord with the system In use
in several European countries where the
size OF tho cavalry with each division OF
the army is much smaller than in this
country.
