Carblnes for Cavalry,

A proposition to convert the new
Springfield rifle into carbine for the
use Of the counted service is being
considered by the ordnance officers of
the army. The plan is to shorten the
barrel of the rifle four inches, and by
80 doing to reduce its weight by two
pounds, thus making it much easier
to handle by the mounted troops. The
sights also are to be adjusted to meet
the shortening of the barrel
The decrease in the muzzle veloe-
ity, it is claimed, will not be SO great
as to interfere with its effectiveness,
up to a range of 1900 yards. The
ordnance department had been asked
to make report on the proposition
and the cavalry board will take it up
and include it in its report on the re-
organization of the cavalry and on the
new equipment.
