keeping Payton at his lodge. But for
the necessity which he felt Of watch

succeeded in getting the two commu-

that the very point that we wished to

Payton never spoke to Miss Gray

face her. He well might have been.
Perhaps he had some other reason.
But, ut any rate. from that moment
she was kept a close prisoner, and all

the army experts. Now what may be the
decisive test Is on.
Motor trucks have been tried out by the

At the big army depots In san Francis

work of more than three. very nearly four

had been successful only In the skirmlshes
on the outskirts of the real scene OF battle.
The roads on which the trucks were used
were metalled roads admirably suited TO
the heavy motor trucks. The mule was
still supreme in the byways and the rough
country. which is by far the biggest part
OF the United States

Much interest therefore, attends the

on their way from Fort Riley. The old and
the new go side by side Incidentally the
improvements in the way Of cavalry equip

gle for perfection. a year Of labor by
board OF experts has reduced the weight
which the cavalry horse must carry only
eight pounds and four ounces. With the
present equipment, figuring the weight OF

With the new equipment he will carry 277

the new over the present style OF cavalry
equipment. and. incidentally, to determine
whether or not the army mule can be
beaten at the game at which he has been
undisputed master for so long that ii is no
more a question of time.
The arrival OF the two squadrons at Saint
10 will decide the struggle between the
old and the new. The wagons might be
first or second-it is a foregone conclusion
that they will get there in one fashion or
another. The motor trucks might not get
there at all, or they might reach the jour
neys end in much better condition, rela-
lively. than the mules. In the same way
the long ride will determine whether the
new equipment, which has been designed
after months Of delberation by the cavalry

ment now in use. The story Will be writ
ten in the appearance and condition on the
travelworn horses and men.
In the meantime the interest Of a large
part Of the army hangs upon the out
come. The army mule Is so old that he
might be considered as having been an
Gent when Cesar was young. Every Of
ficer knows how often the fate Of nations
has depended upon his ability To pull
through TO the end bringing munitions OF
war and subsistence supplies 10 the fight

Heretofore lac has been supreme in his
sphere Since the arrival OF the autOmo-
bile he has been slowly Welding place In
what might be called tho civilian aspect
of army work TO the motor truck. When
the motor car first came into use army
officers. always looking about for substi-
tute for the cantankerous mule, builded
their hopes upon II. General Miles first
nut the idea into execution. General
Humphries. then quartermaster, purchased
4 number of automobiles for test. for
which he was roundly criticised by per-
sons who regarded the notion as fantastic.

FRENCH SCHOOLS REAL START.

II was not until the eighteenth century
that the French school was really and
definitely founded. and the honor OF es-
tablishing It is due 10 VI. de la Gueriniere.
He was the first to conceive the idea or
the natural seat He had the pommel and
the cantle of the saddle cut down and
taught that the rider should seek firm
seat in the balance and uprightness Of his
nosition. His instruction in equation was
reasonable and natural He greatly SIM
nlified methods OF training. and the sys-
tenn he published may still be consulted
with advantage.
Following the riding masters OF the eigh-
teenth century we advance step by step.
The Versailles school became celebrated
the world over. The progress in equitauon
was due not only to instruction received
AT the Versailles school, but also to the
reforms in cavalry tactics introduced by
Frederick the Great. He built ridlng halls
in all cavalry garrisons and caused the
principles of the equestrian art to be
taught.
The example Of the Germans was fol-
lowed by the French cavalry. At the end
of Louis XV's reign five cavalry schools
were created A central school at Paris
WAS TO receive the best pupils from the
elementary schools In ITO regimental rid
ing schools were established in nearly all
cavalry garrisons. Among these schools
the most celebrated were those at ST.

SENTENCING THE ARMY MULE.

AS for the plan to put the mule out OF the
army, II is certain that some infantry Off
GERS. subsistence officers, quartermasters,
General Staff officers and others in league
with the American automobile manufact-
urers have decided that the days Of that
much maligned but all but indispensable
animal as an appanage OF the military
establishment shall be numbered, and they
are saying It with a spirit Of rejoicing and
determination, but 1t must be said at the
same time that there are many officers who
believe that the final parting of the army
mule from the army is far in the future.
These are staff officers, quartermasters'
etc. who believe. after long experience with
the vagaries Of the mule. that the machine
has not yet been invented that can take
his place for covering country-all kinds OF
country I'm all kinds Of weather-and come
out serene at the finish.
The fight has already begun. From Fort
Riley. Kansas, to St Joseph. Mo. two
squadrons Of cavalry, with full campaign
eouipment are now making their way. 1t

ADOPTING THE SWEATER.

And now It has finally conquered the last
stronghold Of conservation in dress. when
it won its way into the hearts Of the mill
tary authorities and was adopted definitely
by the army as a part Of the soldiers
equipment.
The same merits which led TO its uni
versal adoption elsewhere probably induced
its acceptance in the army. where the
tendency has been for long time away
from stiff and awkward uniforms toward
a more sober and sensible attire. 1t is
long jump from the plumes, the haircloth,
the starch. stiffness and military splendor
Of the past TO the more comfortable and
inelegant sweater. But the way was paved
by service uniforms. SLOUGH hats, khaki
and the dozen other recent adoptions OF
the armies Of the world which have COM
fort and utility as their aim. As war be-
comes less frequent armies become more
businesslike The spectacular element is
disappearing. The sweater seems TO mark
its end II is we'll known that the Ameri-
can people are better clothed than the In
habitants of any other country i'm the
world, while the American army has al
ways held a similar reputation among the
armies Of the world.
A striking Illustration Of the modern idea
Of doing away with everything not abso-
lutely needful in the dress of Uncle Sans
fighting men is shown also by the great
difference in weight of the new equipment
just adopted by the army.
The full equipment OF the infantry SOL
der in future while in the field weighs
Il pounds IS ounces. as against Sc pounds
3 ounces. which is his fun equipment al
the present time. BY fun equipment is
meant everything the soldier will be called
upon TO carry in active service.
Hereafter the infantry soldier will carry
only his rife. cartridge telt ammunition.
water. first aid packet and pouch, two
days rations, trenching tool, bayonet, meat
can, knife. fork and spoon. These articles
are necessary TO his fighting efficiency.
