But the Germans stick to precedent.
just as they did in the matter of the
cuirass after other armies had discard
ed their men of the sixteen-pound body
ket balls. but would offer no hindrance
to the high-powered rife bullet Of to-
day. And since the Poles first won
fame as Uhlans. so today large part of
the UhIans are Poles and men from
the eastern part of the empire.
The Uhlans originally were not only
picturesque because of their spears and
pennants. but they were garbed in uni
forms distinctly Oriental and caparison-
ed their mounts in gaudy fashion. In
recent years the uniforms have been
more sober and the horses have been
relieved of all possible burden.
1t was Frederick the Great who in
troduced the first great cavalry epoch,
though his early experiments were dis
astrous. His cavalry was all heavy cav
airy in every sense. His horse soldiery
were so encountered that a speed great
er than trot was never essayed. and
a trot could only be maintained for a
few hundred yards.
After a smashing defeat, one Of Fred
ericks generals told him that the secret
of victory lay in the legs of the soldiers
and that horses that could not go into
action at top speed and keep up that
speed undiminished for 1000 yards were
a drawback to an army. Frederick took
cavalry that had speed and weight.
From that time On Germany has been
a cavalry nation and now mounts its
men on animals that can go top speed
for more than three miles.
To get horses with the speed and the
bottom for such work as the Kaiser's
generals demand of the Uhlans and
Cuirassiers, Germany has secured the
world and paid millions of dollars for
breeding animals. The state maintains
breeding farms that supply many Of
the horses for the army and private
producers are encouraged with good
prices to raise army grade animals.
Just as every man in Germany is a
soldier, every horse in Germany Is po-
tentially a war animal Every horse in
the empire Is registered, and when
mobilization is ordered each owner must
bring to the headquarters in his district
all his horses. There the animals are
examined by military veterinary sur
geons and such as are fit for war work
are turned over to the army at once.
Later, a military board decides what
each animal was worth. and the owner

MOTTO OF THE UHLANS.

Here is the motto and the battle cry
Of the Uhlans, and 1t will give pretty
fair idea of what the Uhlans think Of
themselves and their exploits in war
titled 1t to the extent that the Kaiser
speaks of my Uhlans" with pride and
affection:
Wenn allies wankt und schwankt
Damn wage NIGHT und zahle NIGHT. damn
drauf!
A literal traslation of the couplet
reads:
When fortunes are shaking and brave
men are quaking.
Then stay not and weigh not, but down
on the foe!
The Uhlans are the show troops Of
Germany. although the cavalry. as
natural result of their mounts and
equipment, are the spectacles Of all
armies. They and the Cuirassiers are
the heavy cavalry in the Kaiser's army,
and the heavy cavalry do the scouting
because they are armed and equipped in
the way of mounts to travel further
from their base of supplies and to fight
their way out IL they get into tight
place. The light cavalry is more DASH
The Uhlan goes about with long lance,
a pair of big revolvers, saber, and
carbine. The lance has a bluttering
pennant and the butt rests In the stir
rup. The carbine is slung from the sad
die in a sort of holster or bucket" and
the pistols and saber are swung from
his person in the usual way. A regi-
ment Of Uhlans riding at gallop.
standing in their stirrups. their lances
all inclined forward at the same angle
and their pennants fluttering. makes an
inspiring picture, but the multiplicity
of weapons and hardware impediment is
considered by war experts Of other ma
tions to put them at disadvantage
when an enemy Is met.
The word uhlan and the style of SOL
dier from which he has been evolved
are of Tartar origin. and came into Eu-
rope from the East. The lance is his
distinguishing mark. The Poles were
the first European lancers or uhlans,
and such valuable fighters were they
that all the armies Of Europe copied
them and their tactics. Prussia has al
ways been strong for cavalry. and the
uhlan lance has been retained by Ger
many and Austria. though other armies
have discarded II as hindrance rather
than an aid in the kind of work cavalry
is called upon to do in modern warfare.
