17TH'S OFFICERS
STAND RIDE TEST
General Evans Will Take
Ninety-Mile Hike When
BaImy June Comes.

Riding tests for officers in the United
States army are being held during the
present season. and in consequence the
war department at Washington is re-
ceiving a number of designations from
favored but fat leaders in numerous
regiments. 1t is no child play. riding 80
miles or hiking 80 miles in a day, and
that is the requirement of the army
regulations instituted by the athletic
Roosevelt six years ago.
General K. X Evans. commander OF
the Department Of the Gulf. said that
he has not taken the test this year, but
that he has until next June in which to
do it. As he rides daily and is not in
clined to weight rather than ability, he
will have no trouble in accomplishing
the task. But not all officers are so
fortunate, says General Evans.
1T Weeded the incompetentS and
physically unfit ont Of the army in a
great way when the test was put in
effect" he said. Many of the higher
officers, who had grown so fat or soft
that they simply could not ride, simply
resigned, and every year designations
go in for the same reason.
I've known officers to start on the
ride and resign in the middle Of it,
waiting for an automobile or train to
take them back over the route just
passed on horseback They discover
that it is much better to be a whole
man living at the club on three quarter
pay than a physically tortured soldier
split by a horses back and shaken by
gaits strange to them on full pay"
Six officers returned to Fort McPher-
L., nfsztf do
to Fort Oglethorpe and return. All
made it without trouble and none Of
the officers of the Seventeenth has
failed as yet.
