Especial star. Bulletin Correspondence
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, July Is.
Two details to duty abroad affecting
officers at Schofield have just been
published in war department orders.
First Lieutenant William S. Martin,
4th cavalry, has been selected TO pur-
kLc the next: course of instruction at
the school Of equitation of the French
uTmy at Saumur. France. Lieutenant
martin is a graduate Of the mounted
service school at Fort Riley, and is
finished horseman. Although he
has made application for the detail
several times, in view Of the great
number of officers of the mounted ser
vice who desire this finishing course
in the most famous equitation school
III the world, the detail came as a
most agreeable surprise and he is re-
ceiVing congratulations on all sides.
Mrs. Martin and the children will &C,
company him to France and their
plans are to take the next transport
for the states and sail from New York
early in September.
Captain James H. Bryson. command
ing Eattery E, LIST Field artillery, has
been detailed in the quartermaster
corps and ordered to Manila for duty.
IT is by no means certain that Manila
is his ultimate station, as he is order
ed to fill the place caused by the
relief of Captain Laurence c. Brown,
coast artillery corps, who is at pres
ent stationed in Tientsin, China, as
chief quartermaster of the American
forces in China. Tientsin is regarded
as very choice station, but even the
alternative of station in Manila will
be acceptable to Captain Bryson, as
Mrs. Bryson's sister and brother-in-
law, Lieutenant Deshler Whiting. 18th
infantry, are stationed near Manila
at Los Banos. Captain Bryson will
leave on the August transport.

The many additions to the garrison,
who arrived on the last transport from
San Francisco have started the rank
ing out" of quarters and the conse-
ouent moving of families in the cav
airy and 25th infantry cantonments
The addition of Captain Americas
Mitchell to the 25th infantry gave the
regiment a captain who ranked all
but one of the captains of the regi-
ment, but he has chosen the quarters
Of First Lieutenant Crusan, who, in
turn, has moved Lieutenant Rich, who
has chosen Lieutenant Corbley's set
of the recently constructed quarters.
Captain Mitchell has just left the 5th
infantry in camp at Gettysburg, Penn
sylvania, and being due for foreign
service and having a choice in the
matter of stations, chose Hawaii.
First Lieutenant William A. Canoe,
who joined this week, was transferred
from the 4th infantry, having been
"manchued' from a detail at the mil
itary academy but a few. months ago.
He has chosen the set of quarters for
merly occupied by Lieutenant Tinker,
who has purchased the quarters of
Captain Thomas, 1st infantry. He
will occupy them as soon as the LIST
moves to the new post at Cashier His
new quarters will be on the ground of
the LIST infantry cantonment, but they
are SO near the 25th that the COM
handing officer consented to allow
MIN to occupy them.
Lieutenant George A. Wyman, 25th
Infantry, another new arrival, has
chosen the quarters of Lieutenant Ev-
erett and where Lieutenant Everett
and his family are to go is still an
open question. There is such scar
city of tentage that at present he has
been unable to secure any canvas.
The cavalry, with admirable fore
thought, had anticipated the large
number of arrivals expected on the
last and the coming transports some
weeks ago and started the putting up
of new hospital tents with floors and
frames to hold the canvas and now
are able to furnish tent homes to the
JUNIOR officers of the regiment as fast
as they ranked out
y T
The new arrivals in the cavalry are
Captain and Mrs. Walter Short and
their young daughter. who will be q
welcome addition to the younger set
CT the garrison. Captain Short, who
was transferred from the LIST cavalry,
is perhaps the best known horseman
in the service. He is graduate of
the French school at Saumur and
was for number of years the senior
Instructor of equitation at the mount
ed service school. Largely through
his work the school at Fort Riley has
attained the standard of excellence il
