Fourth CAVALRY
TO REMAIN HERE
War Department Tells Washing,
ton Correspondent Of The Ad-
Vertiser' Regiment Stays

Aliaying definitely the report tina,
the Fourth Cavalry was to be reno, e
from Oahu because Of the shortage OF
water for its maneuvers, The Advprtis
er Yesterday received advice from it,
Washington correspondent, Ernest q
Walker, that the war depa rtrnent en-
tertains no such plan.
As told in The Advertiser on Monday
there has been a persistent though I'M
confirmed rumor Of orders for the trans,
fer of the mounted troops. This story
discussed not only in civilian circles in
the city but ut Schofield Barracks, has
been going the rounds for the last week
or ten days, and has created consider.
able concern among business men ami
army officers alike.
In an effort to get definite informa
tion The Advertiser eabled to its cor
respondent in Washington, asking
whether the war department intended
to withdraw the Fourth Cavalry. His
answer is unequNocal: Absolutely
no
The story unquestionably gained cred
enre from the fact that the cavalry has
encountered obstacles, both through wa.
ter and area shortage in its annual ma
n"nvPrs. Undoubtedly these conditions
ar" well known to the war department,
but the special despatch from Mr.. Walk
or makes IL plain that the war depart
ment does not regard them as sufficient
to warrant withdrawal Of the cavalry.
