TROOPS To MAKE

THESHENANDOAH
Realistic Advance Next Month
Into the Historic Valley May
Mean New System.

WASHINGTON. June 2s.-Troopers
at Fort Myer have begun prepara-
tions for their 70-mile march into the
Shenandoah Valley next month to
participate IN maneuvers expected to
result in reorganization Of the mount
ed forces Of the army.
The Shenandoah Valley, where
Phil" Sheridan made his famous ride
so years ago, has been chosen as the
bloodless battle ground for the test.
For two months this summer a full
brigade of cavalry and a battery of
horse artillery will maneuver and
fight" over the red roads the green
hills, and fields near winchester.
The department has leased a tract
OF ground one mile broad and two
miles long In the heart of the Shen-
andoah, 70 miles away, and orders
were issued to the troops some time
ago.
Oglethorpe Troopers on March.
Two regiments of the brigade, those
from Fort Ethan Allen. VT, and Fort
Oglethorpe, Ga, must ride zoo dusty
miles under a summer sun before they
can reach the valley. and they must
report July 90 The First Squadron
from Fort Myer will have only 10
miles to go. and the horse battery
from Fort Riley, Kans., will be sent
by rail.
Secretary Garrison will be a fire.
quent spectator Major General Wood,
chief Of staff, United States Army,
probably will spend much time there,
and President Wilson may make the
trip.
The necessity for a rehabilitation Of
the cavalry was disclosed when the
general staff some time ago made
ambitious plans for the reorganlza-
ton of the army so as to prepare it
for the defense Of the country against
attack by any great military power.
This resulted in the sending to Eu-
rope last year OF board OF six cav
airy officers, who studied the German.
Russian, Austro- Hungarian, French
and English organizations
Officers Study Abroad.
Four months were spent abroad by
these officers. and since their return
they have prepared plans for radical
changes in the organization and use
Of cavalry OF the American army.
The tests will take place under the
direction Of Colonel c.. II Murray. Of
