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 as 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-
tons that If Uncle Sam is to keep peace From
the Canal to Canada he will have need of a
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 conditions
on the Mexican border have afforded an OPP
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
s~trating the progress made during the past few
years, both in the methods and equipment Of
the U. s. 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
Corps is fully abreast of the times (and Of the
military establishment Of any other nation) in
its experiments with wireless telegraphy and
wireless telephony and it has developed some
very ingenious expedtents for the use of rap
idly moving forces in the feld,-as for instance,
the autotelegraph car or telephone and tele-
graph station on wheels and the apparatus
which enables a mounted trooper to lay or reel
in a telephone wire automatically while his
horse is at full gallop, the rider meanwhile con
tinuing telephone conversation over this elastic
wire.
1t is expected that when the joint operations
Of the army and navy In the south have passed
into history the record of operations will af.
ford argument one way or another as to what
shall be done with the u. s. Marine Corps.
Our readers will recall that this force, the ''sol
diers of the navy has been for some time past
a bone of contention In service and official cir.
.cles. Many persons have commended for years

army with its general staff or board of direc-
tors, but In even greater degree is it evidence
of the value Of that comparatively new insti-
tuition, the U. S. Army War College. The news
paperreading public has been told repeatedly
these past few years that 1t 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-
application 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 rapidity 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-
p~endable information as 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 a
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
.LLlC CdSb " 6AJlcLu6 cLllCIBGuCy, "
Another feature of the plans for the army in
action for which the big trek to Texas has
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 a 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 a very important
place in our military paraphernalia. There has
been a 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
