Who the UhIans Are.

The Uhlans, of whom we hear so much just now, may be taken as a title descriptive of German cavalry in gen eral. The name has stuck because of the fame which they attained by their dash and bravery during the Franco German war. But the Uhlans, or, as it is generally spelt> now, Ulans, are a distinctive corps. The name is by no means distinctiVely German. A body of Uhlans was formed for the French army by Marshal Sake. They were introduced into the Pru.Ssian service in 1740. and 70 years later the Austri- ans also had a corps of Uhlans-light cavalry armed with the lance The modern Uhlans may be classed with the heavy cavalry, for they ride at over-20 stone.-London Chronicle

All of tte witnesses said that they did not hear or see the approach of the automobile until defendant was struck.
