To Start Cavalry Troop.-f enough
horses can be secured cavalry troop
is to be formed in Davenport, adding
to the contribution toward prepared
ness which the city has already made
| in the forming Of battery B and financ-
ing of its new artillery plant here.
Harry Scott of the GOrdon-Van Tine
company and Woodwork Clum, secre-
tary of the Greater Iowa association,
are behind the movement to form the
cavalry command. A number of other
prominent Davenport business men are
also deeply interested in the new pre-
parednesS movement and have signi-
fed their willingness TO enlist in the
troop and to push its organization
here on an adequate scale. The back
ers of the cavalry troop plan to write
to Adjutant General Logan Of the Iowa
national guard and secure detailed in
formation on the organization of such
a command here. There is now
| squadron of volunteer cavalry in Iowa
with detaChments located at Iowa City,
/ Marengo, Upton, Ida Grove and other
interior Iowa points.
To Instruct Driyers.-In the belief
/ that the drivers of the five fire trucks
which are being made by the Seagraye
company will do their work much bet
| ter if they are sent to the plant to
! learn to run the machines, the city
! council in committee Of the whole au-
! thOrized sending the men as soon as
the trucks are nearly finished. Alder
man William GOsCh brought up the
proposition, and it met with little OPP
| position from the mayor. Alderman
| GOsch said the men would learn all
| about the machines if they went to the
plant. The Seagraye company, he said,
would send men here if the city de-
sired, TO teach the men the insides. and
outsides of the big machines, but he
said that the men would never know
their machines well. If they helped
assemble the trucks, and were given
a long drive through the country on a
! chassis, where they could watch the
working of the engine and all the rest
of the complicated machinery that goes
| into the construction of one of the big
| trucks, they would learn the car much
better.
