might prove as invaluable in the mountains OF
Mexico as they have under somewhat similar
conditions in the Philippines.
Similarly the conditions existing at the scene
of the present campaign are such as to empha-
size the fact that there is yet a very important
sphere for the cavalry in the army.
1t N though the crisis in this unexpected quar-
ter were a providential answer to the argu-
ments of those persons in and out OF official
life who have been urging in recent years
that the foot-soldier should be practically the
whole thing in our military complement 1t
must be apparent to everybody who is even
casually conversant with geographical condi-
lions that if Uncle Sam is to keep peace From
the Canal to Canada" he will have need of
considerable cavalry force and a force pro-
vided with the best possible class of mounts.
There are mountainous localities in the region
to the south Of us where only cavalry could
operate successfully Neither automobiles nor
yet aeroplanes would serve as a substitute.
And incidentally 1t may be noted that onditions
on the Mexican border have afforded an op-
portunity much earlier than was anticipated to
test the practical military value Of the airship.
The servicability of the sky craft for scouting
operations ought to be pretty well attested ere
the troops return to their home stations.
No better theater Of war, real or mimic, than
the southwest could be chosen for demon
strating the progress made during the past few
years, both in the methods and equipment Of
the U. 8. Signal corps. The general public,
with its craving for the spectacular, has heard
most regarding the introduction of the aero
plane as a utensil of warfare but as a matter
of fact the Signal Corps has recently intro
duced innovations far more important from a
military standpoint than the aerial scouts. and
these communicative utilities and novelties for
day and night signaling would obviously prove
especially valuable in rough country where
there are few existing telephone or telegraph
wires and where the erection of such lines
would be difficult and expensive The Signal

army with its general staff or board of direc-
tors, but in even greater degree is 1t evidence
OF the value of that comparatively new insti-
tuition, the u S. Army War College. The news
paper-reading public has been told repeatedly
these past few years that it is the special prov
ince of the officers detailed to duty in the great
red brick building, overlooking the Potomac
In Washington, to have on hand and to keep
constantly up to date detailed plans of cam
paign for use in the event of war with any
other nation. However, the present instance
affords the country at large it's first real ex-
ampifcation of the practical value of the in
formation that is kept under such close guard
in the plan vault and the map rooms Of the
War College.
1t was shown by the rapidty with which or
ders were formulated and issued for this sud-
den movement of the largest body Of troops
that has been handled at any one time since
the Spanish war that the War College has de-
pendable information to just what can be
expected of the railroads in an emergency.
This showed too, the wisdom of Uncle Sans
policy of keeping his war plans up to the min
ute by revising them every time there is q
change of railroad schedules for, in this in
stance, most Of the troops travelled by regular
trains instead Of by special trains and the lat
ter would presumably be resorted to only In
the case of extreme emergency.
Another feature of the plans for the army in
acuOn Tor which the Dig trek TO TeXaS mas
proven a most beneficial dress rehearsal is that
which contemplates reliance upon the tele-
graph system Of the country in the movement
Of troops. The use of the network Of wires
covering the continent, in the event of war,
has been the subject Of study on the part OF
the military experts that has gone hand In
hand with the investigation as to how the rail-
road arrangements could be made to promote
the mobility of the military force This work
ed out Just as anticipated the day orders were
issued for the advance to Texas and there
poured into the department continual stream
Of kilograms that kept the officials advised in
detail as to the movement Of every body OF
troops headed for the rendezvous in the Lone
Star State.
1t may be a trife early to talk about the les
sons to be drawn from this taste of war but
one is already apparent. 1t emphasizes that
the field artillery yet has very important
place in our military paraphernalia. There has
been disposition on the part of some people.
OF late years, to regard any considerable
amount of field artillery as not the most useful
equipment for the American army. Such advo-
Gates took the view that Uncle Sam ought to
put his money into heavy coast defense guns
just as he is concentrating his naval expendt
ture upon battleships Of the heaviest class.
However, the unexpected call to Texas, empha-
sizing as it did, vistas of trouble that had been
completely overlooked in contemplation of the
yellow peril" called attention to the possible
sore need for ample field artillery under GER

SENATE DEMOCRATS
CAUCUS, IN FAVOR Of
PASS|NGCOTTONB|LL
Difference of Opinion as to
Measures on Sugar
and Steel.
WILL MEET AGAIN
THIS AFTERNOON
Senators to Record Final Opinion
on Questions at Second
Meeting Today.

In a two-hour caucus this morning
thhe Senate Democrats talked al
length over the question of what tc
do about the cotton bill and other
tarln measures pending before the
Senate.
While no formal decision was reach
ed, 1t was practically settled that a
cotton bill ought to be passed before
adjournment On the question OF
whether to pass a sugar bill and a
steel bill as amendments to the cot
ton bill, there is marked differences
of opinion.
Nothing was settled as to an ad-
journment date, and the important
development of the meeting was the
overwhelming sentiment manifested
Tor the passage of a cotton bill.
Meets Again In Afternoon.
The caucus recessed to meet again
this afternoon, following the adjourn
ment of the Senate. 1t is expected for
NAL action will be taken at that time,
1t is likely the question of adjourn
ment will be fully threshed out. Many
OF the Democrats are anxious to wind
up Inc session just as quickly as DOS
sible. and many of them would like to
do so this week.
The question of what to do about
State hood as well as tariff is invoIveo
In the caucus.
1t was the sentiment of the caucus
that as regards the cotton bill the Same
procedure should be followed as has
peen followed on the wool bill and the
Iree list bill: That is, the House bill
voted down h., 49,
reconsideration, and a cotton bill will
De passed as proposed by Senator a
gillette. The differences between the
Senate and House bill will then have to
De threShed out in conference Some
or the Democrats are urging that the
bill be left in conference until next win
Ter, but this action will encounter
strong opposition.
Adjournment Uncertain.
The developments at the caucus to-
day make the outlook as to adjourn
ment uncertain. At the same time. most
Senators think the coming weeR will
see the end Of the session and there
was much talk today of next Wednes-
day being the end.
Senator'S Simmons and Overman we're
the chief objectors to a cotton bill in
the caucus today. But the sentiment
was pronounced that it would be bad
il@mocratic politics after passing a wool
blll to refuse to pass a cotton bill As
10 steel and sugar revision, a number
OF Senator'S thought 1t would be better
to wait until the House acted on these
matters.
The feeling at the caucus on the cot
ton bill isdi sdppointing to old guard Pc
publican leaders They have been hop
ing that the cotton bill would be side
tracked and have been counting on
Democratic help in doing it.

Application was made by Mr.. Bean
