Sixteen of the officers of the cavalry
squadron at the camp were discharged
from the service and departed for their
homes this week. This action was in
accordance with an order from Wash

of the cavalry to the First Vermont

GERS, including Lieut. Robert Knowlton
of Brattleboro, were retained as re-
cruiting officers.
There We're no positions in the regi-

 To fit the cavalry for field service in the shortest possible time is the object, says the orders, and therefore, the training for field duty, must be given in the very limited time available.
 Each cavalry troop will be organ ized at once into four platoons of two squads each, and the vacancies in the grade of non on-commissioned officers, cooks, mechanics, etc, filled. Platoon comma nders and chief of squads will be assigned to balloons and squads, and will retain command of the units to which assigned. At all formations of the troop, the p1atoons and squads will take the proper positions in ranks and these positions will not be changed. The platoons and squads will be kept as nearly of equal strength as practicable in assigning the recruits.
 The measure of every soldiers foot will be taken in the prescribed manner as soon as practicable, and the record kept, that a requisition for shoes may be submitted, and the shoes issued promptly upon the receipt thereof. In the mounted instruction any at tempt at close order drill is prohibited. Probably not more than half an hour per day for each man, can be spent in actual riding.
 There will be mounted drill and training from two to threei hours daily. A short period of about 20 minutes daily is sufficient time to give to close order movements. Instruction in close order movements should not begin un- til the soldiers learn something about riding, and the training of the horses has advanced sufficiently for them to be handled easily in and out of ranks. l No attempt should be made to cover Tall of the movements in close and ex- i tended order drill, but only those which must be used on the march and in maneuvering on the battle field. Sabre exercise is to occupy 30 min utes every day.
 i The manual for army cooks will be strictly followed in handling the troop
 mess. The mess sergeant and cooks vii be required to study the manual and the troop commanded will, by questioning them and inspecting the mess several times daily, assure him self that these instructions are being l followed. /
 The horseshoer vii be required to
 study the manual, t'The Army Horse I shoer," and be competent to answer questions taken therefrom.
 The farrier will be required to study
 the manual, ''The Army Horse in Ac- oident and Disease and to demon strate his ability to care for sick and
 slightly injured horses.
 All cava1rynen will be required to bathe at least twice a, week. l The days instruction work for the field artillery is divided into four De- riods of one and one-half hours each Between periods there are intervals o1
 at least 10 minutes. The cannoners o1
 the battery and the drivers are di- I vided into four sections, each under 2 non officer who forms the section, reports it at the proper
 time tol the instructor, and assists in
 the instruction Early in the course of instruction the battery commander
 should hold sessions in the matter o1
 giving commands for mounted and
 dismounted work. These sessions are
 separate for officers and non-comnts-
 stoned officers. Plenty of loudness and lenergy will be insisted on

 Military authorities were looking for the de facto governments attitude in troop movem ents near the border to- day and in preparation for these the war department was getting ready to act on General F'unston's request for immediate dispatch of number of National Guard units to the border. It was said Secretary Baker and President Wilson probably will de- termine what organizations should be sent.
 Several days may elapse before any great number of militia units can be mustered into service.
 | Great interest was expressed in the l probable course to be followed in l case Mexicans attack the American | column. It was regarded as probable
 that a general rapid advance would i be ordered from the border to line perhaps 100 or more miles south o1 the border.

 Whoever is familiar with the career of Booker T. Washington knows of his achievements.

Ar ter a great struggle with poverty, he received something of an education at the Hampton school in Virginia Be- cause of his untfr1ng efforts, he be- came celebrated, at home and abroad. as a worker, an up1ifter, an educator, and a brilliant speaker.

How is The Hague court of arbitra- ton constituted and how does it obtain jurisdiction?
 The permanent court of arbitration was esta blished under the act of July 29, 1899, signed (and subsequently rati- fied) by twenty-four nations. Under the protocol of June IA, 1907, for the accession of nonsignatory powers, the number of powers represented in the court has been largely increased, being now nearly forty. The purpcksA is to facilitate arbitration for international disputes which it, has been impossible to settle by diplomacy. The court is competent to hear all arbitration cases, unless the parties agree to constitute a special tribunal, and it's jurisdiction may be extended to disputes to which one or both of the parties or nonsigna- tory powers desire to have recourse to the court for the settlement of a dis pute. The arbftrators called upon to form the competent tribunal for the purpose must be chosen from the gen. eral list of members of the court. If the parties disagree on the composition of this tribunal it's members must be appointed in accordance with the course prescribed in the international agreement Each government is repre- sented by two to four members of the court.
