Cavalry.
WAR SECRETARY TO ASK
TEN MORE REGIMENTS
Addition to Force by Congress Would
Be Considered as Fitting Mark
of Appreciation.

Col. Dodd's splendid cavalry dash after
Fillistas in Mexico has inspired Secre-
tary Of War Baker to strongly urge that
Congress authorize an increase OF ten
regiments to the cavalry arm of the
service. Secretary Baker feels that no
better illustration could be had OF the
value of mounted troops than the pres
ent Mexican expedition and Col Dodd's
achievement has had the effect of CEN
tering the attention Of army officers or
the Importance of having a cavalry-in-
crease provision inserted in the present
army bill
The increased army legislation has pass
ed the House and is now before the Sen
ate. 1t is expected that Secretary Bakers
recommendation may be inserted i'm the
bill as an amendment on the floor. to
be considered in the conference on the

informally to the attention OF members
Of the military committees Of both
branches of Congress.
How far this matter would have been
pressed under ordinary circumstances is
matter of speculation. but Col. Dodd's
ride has focused attention on the recon-
mendation. As result II is expected
that Congress will act Incidentally, it
is pointed out in army circles that this
would be a very fitting expression of
appreciation from Congress Of what
American regular-mounted troops have
done in Mexico, besides being OF prac-
teal benefit TO the army.

day returned to an exhaustive de-
Tense Of President Wilson. his policy
and the entire American standpoint.
In a leader in the Zukunft en-
titled "The Real Wilson" Herr
Harden praises President Wilson as
"a man OF high moral and high spir-
itual character, Of whom We might
be proud II he were ours"
Herr Harden follows with q brief
character sketch of President Wilson,
In which he calls the President "a
brave opponent Of evil and abuses"
and alludes to him as "actuated by a
love for his people and possessed Of
Of his ideals after they had gotten into
the swampland. Germany should be
ashamed OF people who SANDER him
because they have read calumny in
newspapers"
Dare we measure by the standard
Of n students squabble the COM
plants of n great, free nation. lead
by man of the weight and i'm
portance of President Wilson," asks
tho writer. III President Wilson,
after a thorough investigation, Is con-
vinced that warlike acts OF Germany
have broken tho laws of humanity, IL
was not only his right. but 1t was his
duty to talk with clearness. He owes
this not only as u duty To himself, but
to US"
Turning to the position OF Chan
cellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg In the
present controversy, Herr Harden
says:
THE daring Of the Chancellor must
not approximate that OF submarine
commander"
Herr Harden next turns his guns
on Herr Won Heydebrand. Conserva-
tive leader in the Reichstag. because
Of his attack on America In con-
nection with the Sussex note, char
acterizing the attack as "sorrowful
abuse. In which there Is not a glim-
mer OF craftsmanship"
In abiding the Herr Won Heyde-
brands assertion that America stood
In close connection with England be-
fore the war. Herr Harden points
out that Germany also did so with
italy. Russia. Japan. Portugal and
England. Herr Won Heydebrand's as
sertion that America was at first
secretly and then openly on the side
OF Germany's enemies Herr Harden
claims not to have been proven and
he declares that America has never
