AMERICAN CAVALRY
 HORSES IN DEMAND
General McClernand States That the English Cavalry
 Likes American Horses

New York, December 29-After tour Of the continent begun last September for an inspection of the cavalry estab lishments of the various European ar mics, the United States army cavalry board, headed by Brig Gen. Edward j. McClernand, returned tonight on the steamer Campania with a mass of in- formation regarding training of cav airy and the question of remounts. The results of their investigations will be embodied in a report to the chief of staff of the army at Washington.
 The commission, which, besides Brig adler General McClernand. comprises Mai Jesse M. Carter, Lieut.. Col. J. l.. Hickman and Col James Parker, vis- tied Russia, Italy, Austria France, Germany and England They said that all the cavalry they had seen was on a very high plane of development. Gen eral McClernand said they were ev- erywhere received with the greatest cordiality and every facility was given them for the proper inspection of the work of cavalry forces in the field and at home.
 General McClernand reported that in England there was q growing demand for American bred cavalry horses. The British army is now using the best of the Irish hunters but these animals are not heavy enough for the work, he said It was his idea that the Amer ican horse, inbred with the heavy stock from Europe, made the ideal cavalry mount.

 A desperate fight between an artillery and an infantry regiment at Oporto re- gently threw the whole city into com motion. Great political rivalry exists be- tween the two corps and matters came to a head while both were carrousing in the lower part of the city.

 Eventually the eommandant sent for the aremen, and after an hours drenching the brawlers capitulated
 The ringleaders were arrested and will be courtmartialed, as there is a large number of wounded. The regiments have been transferred to other stations.

ID CHANGE METHOD
 0F MAIL PAYMENT Parcels Post May Necessi- tate New Method of Com
 putting Payments

Washington, December 29.-An appeal for legislation to readjust the method Of computing payments to railroads Tor transporting the mails was made today by Postmaster General Hitchcock in letter to the House committee on postof- fees and postroads.
 "On account of the institution of the parcel post system,' wrote MT. Hitchcock, ''tho weight of mail to be transported by railroads probably will be increased con siderably, and under existing law no ad- ditional compensation may be paid until there has been weighing of the mails and readjustment of the basis of pay"
 Mr. Hitchcock's proposition, which he suggested a year ago, provides for a com piete readjustment of the system of pay ing railroads for carrying the mails, sub stituting space for weight as the chief factor in determining compensation. Un- der this plan it would be possible to ascertain without delay what, if any, additional compensation should be given the railroads on account of the parcel post.

 Class Leaves Building

Chicago. December 29.--Singing "On- ward Christian Soldiers" 200 children, members of a Sunday school class. marched out of their class room here today through smoke from a fire that destroyed the Lorimer Memorial Bap- tist church.

By that time the flames were so close to the two women that they were forced 10 flee, abandoning their coats and furs
 The fire was discovered by a mounted policeman while the Sunday school was in session. Investigating smoke coming from a window he found that the en- tire basement of the church was on fire. He ran upstairs and asked 'he teachers of the Sunday school 70 play something the children could march ;o. The entire structure was in flame Ly the time the last child was out and the two teachers had escaped.

Didn't Need a Divorce
From the salt Lake Herald-Republi

From the Salt Lake eHerald-Republiean
 A divorce lawyer in the Nevada haven of busted romances will wait in vain for Mrs. Lawrence T. Fleming of Olean, N r., because Mrs. Fleming is not going to Reno. Instead, she went with Mr. Fleming to southern California.
 Mrs. Fleming got as far as Salt Lake on her expedition 10 Reno. but shortly after she arrived here she abandoned her plans. The abandonment was vir- 1ually simultaneous with the arrival from the east of MT. Fleming, who cans charging into Utah few hours after his wife got there.
 This reunion and reconclliation-for such it was-came romantically enough, it is said, after much cross-country tele- graphing and a hurried departure west ward of the Clean citizen. They had had misunderstandmgs to be sure, but when his wife started for Reno MT. Fleming decided that it could not be.
 As he. sped toward the setting sun, across prairies and up the mountains Mir Fleming dispatched copious telcgrams to his wife on the train ahead. With what words he wooed her from her determina- lion to take up q residence in the di- Sorce mart of the continent Is known, of course, 10 hardly anyone except them- selves. Probably he counseled that she stop in Salt Lake and talk things over with him.
 Did Mrs. Fleming repent her purpose did that thing called love wipe Reno off the map? Be that as it may, Mrs. Elem ing did stop Tn Salt Lake. She regis tered at the Utah. Some hours later MT. Fleming appeared. He preliXed q Mir. and" on his wife's name on the register.
 Then they talked it over. What is more, they-oh, we'll they made up. Few persons who saw them, radiantly happy, in the dining room and said: By love, wha, a stunning looking couple,' to themselves, knew by what narrow mar gin southern California had won out over Reno Theirs was not the least Of Thanksgiving dinners hereabouts.
