lay MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wlRGl
Petrograd, Dec. 2 (via London, Dec.
2).-The eagerly-awaited reassem-
bling of the duma took place without
any promise Of final settlement of
the dispute between the government
and the representatives Of the people.
The leaders of the duma said they
are uniformed as to the attitude
adopted by the government and did
not look for any immediate clearing
of the political atmosphere
A partial change in the ministry in
volving the appointment of Alexander
Trepoff as minister has relieved the
situation, it is said, only temporarily
According to the liberal viewpoint,
there are as yet no symptoms Of an
essential alteration in the character
OF the government, which is held re-
sponsible for the present internal dis
organization and unrest.
1t is evident that consultation be-
tween the government and the duma
leaders have borne no immediate
fruit.

thousand Mile Road,

| Picking, oct 18.-Chincse newspa-
pers are unanimous in welcoming
American capital into China to build
railroads. The announcement of the
conclusion of the agreement whereby
Stems and Carey, financed hy the
American International corporation,
are granted contract for over 1000
miles of railway costing approximate
~ 100000 600 gold, has been received
with great enthusiasm Neither the
Chinese public nor the Chinese press
has any fear that the United states
has any Interior motives
"Since the death Of President Yuan
Shi-kai the most important single
fact i'm the history Of China has been
the signature OF the Stems and Carey
railway agreement" says the Peking
Daily News. 1T reintroduces into
practical politics a principle that was
in danger of being forgotten, Ameri-
cans do not seek political power. in
flucnce or spheres They seek trade
and trade only. and they have now as
sumed that other nations seek moth
ing more and really mean what they
say when they pledge themselves to
the maintenance of the open door and
equal opportunity for all in China
IAN the powers Interested have ex-
pressed their adhesion TO the princi-
pie of the open door. but in spite of
the lip service rendered to this doc
trine there has been sncakinu desire
to evade its real consequences, Great
Britain, more than once when non
British schemes have Appeared to

Yang-tse valley, has been obviously
uneasy; as witness the French port Of

almost openly repudiated the open

FRENCH CAVALRY
NOT USED DURING
FOURTEEN MONTHS
Little Work is found for
Mounted Regiments Men

French Front, Nov Just four.
teen months have passed since French
cavalry has appeared on the battle,
fields of the Franco-German front
as a mounted force. The last occa.
sion of their employment in their
real work was september 2, 1915
when "A single squadron Of, hussars
crossed the German lines in Cham
pagne-and brought back some pris-
oners.
The French general staff, however,
has not permitted the splendid horsed
regiments composed of cuirasslers,
Dragons, hussars and mounted rifles
to remain idle They take their turn
with the infantry regiments in the
trenches, where they do exactly the
same arduous duty as the foot soldiers
for a period and then return far be-
hind the front to exercise with their
mounts.
Earlier in the war when fighting
was severe on the User, the French
cavalry came into touch with the Ger
mans on several occasions and gem
orally with success. Trench warfare
along the continuous line reaching
from the North sea to the Swiss from
tier, with no flanks to turn, has rem
dered their employment on horseback
impossible.
Extracts from German newspapers
describing the battle around Sally
Sailisel on November 8 and this
year declare large bodies of French
cavalry and field artillery were
massed directly behind the front line
in the expectation that the German
positions were about TO be pierced
and that they could then dash through
the breach. The Associated Press
correspondent was present during the
whole of the fighting on those days
and the only mounted men seen any
where near the field were military po-
lieemen directing the supply columns
and the drivers of the horsed trans
port wagons,
Even the German prisoners who
surrendered as a result Of the attacks
on Sailiisel and the Saint Pierre WAIST
wood were placed under guard Of in
fantrymen. for the ground in the vi
entity is so much broken up that
horses could not march over it.
The correspondent later had an OPP
portunity of seeing the environments
of some French cavalry, two days
march from the battlefield The
chargers were in excellent condition
and the veterinary surgeons them
selves expressed surprise at the small
percentage of sickness among them
since the beginning Of the campaign.
This is the result of the constant care
given them by the detachment Of men
left behind when the remainder of the
regiment goes into the trenches one
squadron of each unit is detailed for
duty in the cantonment while their
comrades are engaged in the fight
ing zone. Even the officers leave
their mounts behind.
This system OF utilizing the cavalry
has been employed for over a year
and it is unlikely that any change
will occur unless a forward move on
4 grand scale should be anticipated

the desire to maintain secrecy is that
