Plans for Proposed Change in Cavalry
Organization to Be
Tested.
BIG TRACT HAS BEEN LEASED

BY order of Secretary of War Garrison
| a full brigade of cavalry and horse ar
tillery will report near Winchester. Va,
in the Shenandoah Valley, July 20. there
to rehearse war maneuvers preparatory
to a proposed reorganization of the
cavalry arm of the service. A tract a
mile broad and two miles long has been
leased by the government in the historic
valley. where Phil Sheridan M de his
famous ride in the civil war
The practice brigade will be made up
of regiments from Fort Allen. Vt, and
Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. the first squadron
of the Fifteenth Cavalry. of Fort Myer.
and the horse battery from Fort Riley.
Hans. a board of army officers has been
in Europe for some months studying
cavalry organization there, with view
to suggesting the changes deemed neces-
sary.
Since its return to the United States the
board has been engaged in the prepara-
ton of plans for a change in the cavalry
organization of our army. Before adopt
ing these the General STAFF decided that
they should be submitted to a practical
test. Therefore Secretary Garrison au-
thorized the gathering of the full brigade
of cavalry and the battery of horse artli-
lery in the Shenandoah Valley.
A board headed by Brig. Gen. c. 4.
Devol, OF the Quartermaster Corps. has
just returned to Washington from a visi.
of inspection to the country in the neigh
horhood of Winchester. Va, where It
picked out and leased a tract of lano

Some of the practical question to be
worked out are how large a command
may a captain handle and how many
such units can colonel handle TO tire
hest advantage under conditions approx
imating hostilities? The new formation
of the cavalry into double ranks will also
be tired out on a large scale.

REUNION HERE in
1915 SUGGESTED
John McElroy Wants Peace
Jubilee in Memory Of
Lees Surrender.
VETERANS FAVOR PLAN
Views of Heads of Trade and Civic
Bodies of Washington Will
Be Obtained.

With the rear guard of the District
veterans still on their way back from
the Gettysburg reunion. plans for an
other gigantic gathering of the old sol
Giers of the civil war were started. These
plans, which are at present only tenta-
tive, contemplate the calling of the mer
of the armies of the North and South
together in Washington in April. 1875
for a peace jubilee in commemoratior
of the surrender of the forces of Gen,
Lee and the practical end of the war.
The idea of the big peace jubilee has
been cherished for some years, but the
reunion at Gettysburg was necessary To
really start it up. This plan was con-
ceived by John McElroy. editor of the
National Tribune, the organ of the G.
A. r., and past department commander
of the Department of the Potomac. At
the reunion that ended yesterday Mr..
McElroy talked with a number of the
men at the head of the different di-
did the idea find favor that Mr.. McElroy
is considering now the best way of
launching the project.
Plan Laid Before Veterans,
This thing has been in my mind for
several years, said ne yesterday. ana
from the talk l had with a number OF
the old soldiers at Gettysburg, l am
sure it could be made a great success.
1t would draw even a bigger crowd of
the veterans than the reunion did. be-
cause all of the old men are interested
in Washington and would make an es-
pecial effort to come here.
We have just celebrated the fiftieth an
niversary Of the battle OF Gettysburg.
and the peace jubilee. if it is held.
would be to celebrate the fftieth ami
versary of the surrender of Lee and the
practical close of the war. Gen. Lee
surrendered April g. 1856. and. although
there was some lighting up to August
?. 1866, the surrender of the forces of
Lee was the real end of the war.
Il got SO much ENCOURAGEMENT at
Gettysburg that | intend within the next
few days. probably. to consult with the
heads of the trade and civic bodies OF
and with the managers of
the different newspapers as TO the practi-
cability of the plan"
The Washington herald., 1913-07-06

In charge of J. II. Snodgrass. consul
general at Moscow. seventy Russian edu-
Gators are expected to visit this city this
week. The party probably will reach
Washington tomorrow or Tuesday. The
Department of Agriculture has arranged
to show the visitors the experiment sta
ton at Arlington, Va. The educators will
make a tour of the United States to
study social. educational. and commercial
conditions in the United States.

WARNING TO PARENTS.

It il risky to feed raw milk and
cream to children or invalids I'M
less you are sure that at the farm
which produces the milk the ut
most cleanliness Is observed at all
times, particularly during milk
ing: that the employees are thor
oughly healthy and Clearly per.
sons; that the cows are free from
diseases; that the water used for
rinsing is Of undoubted purity. and
that the milk is quickly cooled
and kept cold and covered until
delivered to you.
Raw milk often produces Tuber-
culosis, Scarlet Fever. also Ty-
phoid and other intestinal dis
eases.
We can guard against infection
by properly pasteurizing milk or
by home pasteurization.
Properly pasteurizing milk (and
cream) by keeping it at 40 deg. F.

veterans who attended the Getty sburs
reunion. As far as could be learned. all
of the veterans of the District had re-
turned last night.
| among all the men who went from

about the success of the reunion. That
wGs that the affair had gone off far
more smoothly than had been expected
and that the management of both the
government and the railroads had been
| efficient. 1t was the general statement
that the accounts of intemperance and
heat protratiOns among the old soldiers
that came from the battlefield had been
greatly overdrawn. and that the stamina
displayed in the face of the blazing sun
that shone had been remarkable
The reunion was in every way n sue
cess said Thomas s. Hopkins. the per-
s"nal representative of the District
Commissioners on the PENNSYLVANIA
commission. II can go farther and say
that this has been one of the happiest
things that has ever been done in this
country, and I know that the effects of
it will be far-reachng. In no other
way could the different parts of the
country have been drawn 10 each other
as by this reunion of the old soldiers
There was the finest feeling of friend

hetN cen the parties of the different sides
and IL was noticeable that there Were
few flags displayed except those of the
United States. The ranks of the old men
are beginning to show the years that
have passed. Most of them probably
have attended their last general re-
union. If another such gathering We're
