War Department has had under con-

An hour will be set for the drills by

Col Murray also is president of the
board in charge of the revision of the
cavalry drill regulations. The work OF
the troops here in executing the tactics
provided in the new regulations will be
watched by the board, and their decision
will rest largely on the facility with
which the Cavalrymen form in double

squadrons, regiments and as a brigade
and drill with silent signals.

tertained tomorrow evening at a dinner
at the Army and Navy Club.
