field searchlights and various kinds

lights are employed not only 70 dis
close the enemys position and move

temporarily blind by their glare. They

 Tt is, of Course, understood that these horses are green to the military business. Those awarded to cavalry are not acquainted with the bugle calls or with the evolutions of organizations in that branch of the service. None of the new cavalrymen can trust their mounts to carry them through the mazes of cavalry formation, for the wisest horse is hardly as well versed in his duty as the recruit on his back.

In the morning, when it is time for them to go to work, each mule finds his own pack and stands by it until it is properly adjusted.
