Army officers know that Carranza

troops that were reported to be In

to ipduce the United States to leave

There is a well established belief in
the army that Carranza has never sert-
ously tried to run down Villa because
OF the fear that his troops In northern
Mexico could not be trusted in cam

It takes a connoisseur to tell at glance the man who rides according to the French system of equitation, but once initiated into it's salient features there is no mistaking them afterward. The most pronounced indication of the cavalryman of the French school is toes out" Then one notices that the rider does not grip his mount with the knees, but the legs, swung lightly be- hind the girth, are in contact with the horse from the calf up.
 While the type saddle used in our army closely resembles the English fiat saddle, the stirrups hang notceaby farther to the back, and the seat dips to throw the weight of the rider di- rectly in the center of the horses back.
 Jumping is another successful feature

 mate the jump and the effort required to clear it, by being led up to it, around it and over it, until he is perfectly able to approximate quickly heights and distances. Drilled in this way, 1t Is re- markable how keen and clever a horse becomes in observing obstacles and how cool in taking them. One Phila- delphia cavalryman, indeed, found his horse entirely too clever after a course of training After a period of partial activity the horse was a bit sluggish.

praise that has come from the core spondents in Mexico has been of the sterling qualities of the cavalrymen who so relentlessly sought every out law connected with Villa. The horses suffered much from the heat and in some instances lack of water and some of them perished from exhaustion. They had been urged on and on, day and night, through desert sands and mountain passes, always gaining on the fleeing prey.
 The United States army several years ago adopted what is known as the French system of training cavalrymen.

 Summing the main points as briefly as possible, however, he stated: The system consists of setting up drill for the horse, for the rider a body in position to apply aids and indications instantly and intclligently and per feet adjustment of equilibrium of both horse and rider. As a result you have a perfectly developed horse and a rider in sympathy with him. You might al- most define the French system as one of training and riding.

 In the United States each cavalry regiment in the army sends an oficer each year to take this course at ths mounted service school at Fort Riley, Kan, with the idea of disseminating knowledge gained there as rapidly as possible throughout the service.

rama soldiers in clearing northern
Mexico of bandits.
