70 MILES FROM CAPITAL

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
'Phir' Sheridan made his famous ride
80 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.
ogethorpe Troopers on March.
Two regiments of the brigade, those
from Fort Ethan Allen, VT, and Fort
Oglethorpe, Ga, must ride 700 dusty
miles under a summer sun before they
can reach the valley. and they must
report July 20 The First Squadron
from Fort Myer will have only 70
miles to 60 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 reorganiza-
ton of the army so as to prepare 1t
for the defense of the country against
attack by any great military power.
This resulted in the sending to Eu-
rope last year of a 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
dlfeCtlOE OF COiOnel =. II. murray, OF
the Twelfth Cavalry, as Brigadier
General e. J. McClernand, the head of
the cavalry board, is prohibited from
exercising actual command by virtue
of his retirement. General McCler-
nand, however, with Lieutenant Colo
nels ]. T. Dickmann and Fred S. Fol-
ia, Major Jesse Mel Carter and
Captain Frank Parker, all members
of the board which studied the Euro
pean systems. will be present.
Some Of the practical questions to
be worked out are:
How large a command can a cap
tain handle successfully?
How many such units can a colonel
handle to the best advantage under
conditions approximating hostilities =?
The new formation Of the cavalry
into double ranks also will be tried
out on a large scale, a practical test
by Captain Parker of the Eleventh
Cavalry, at Fort Huachuca, Ariz.,
with an experimental squadron hav-
ing been pronounced a complete sue
cess by General H. L. Scott.

feet missed the ties and he found
himself struggling for freedom with
out avail.
Before he was freed he had sue
ceeded in tying up traffic in both di-
rections for nearly an hour, and the
500 passenger train from Chicago,
with more than 800 passengers on
board, was compelled to wait.
His predicament was first discover
ed by a section crew passing over the
bridge. The men worked over the
horse for nearly half an hour before
they called upon John A. Moak, ami
NAL agent of the humane society. He
used all devices at his command to
no avail. Meanwhile the 300 passen-
gers on the train. as well as the en-
gineer ard conductor, were getting
somewhat impatient.
Then some one suggested that the
fire department might be called to
help the horse down. Hook and Lad
der Company No. 3 responded to the
call Raising their ladders to the
trestle with the aid Of few ropes
and a large squad of volunteers, the
firemen soon hal him bound and let
him down safely to the ground be-
low. The train then proceeded.
