OFFICERS TO DISCARD sABER
Weapon Considered Out of Date and
VIII Be Replaced by Straight
Sword for Stabblng.

The cavalry of the United States is
to lose weapon which has been as
ISOLATED with that military arm in all
countries since time immemorial. 1t is
the saber that is to go.
The saber, as everybody knows, is q
sword of curved shape, meant for a
slashing blow. Under earlier condi-
lions of warfare 1t did effective work.
It is now considered out Of date. To
take It's place the cavalryman of the
regular army is to be provided with a
straight sword for stabbing.
The new sword will be carried at the
saddle of the fighting man on horse
back, who, it is expected. will be de-
prived of the revolver which he has
hitherto worn in holster at his belt.
The reason for taking away the pis-
toll is that the cavalryman does not
need more than one weapon to shoot
with, namely, the rife, which is sus-
pended in a boot by his side. This
rife is shorter than the equivalent
arm with which the soldiers of Euro
pean nations are equipped; but 1t is
the same weapon provided for the
American infantry.
1t is considered that, with one
weapon for shooting and another for
stabbing, the cavalryman is adequately
armed. But the saber is back num-
Der, and the new sword Is expected to
prove much more useful in practical
warfare.
