IN A CAVALRY TRAINING CAMP

A cavalryman must learn to drive by the
pressure of his legs so both his hands will
be free to fight with, for a cavalryman is
a regular armory all to himself. He car
ries a pistol, a rifle and a saber and he
must be able to use them freely without
being thrown from his horse.
There's something very romantic about
the cavalry, something very thrilling about
the thunder of hundreds of horses hoofs,
something that makes ones heart leap with
joy-or terror or a mixture of both. For
myself, II were "the enemy" believe I'd
much rather face a machine gun than
cavalry charge. But somehow the cavalry
has not proved practicable in the present
war, and as France and England can fur
nish about all that might be needed, most
of our cavalry are to be made into artillery
because OF the great need of artillery.
In fact all the new cavalry regiments are
to be trained as artillerymen. while the old
ones are being trained as infantrymen, al
though they-will all keep their designation
as cavalrymen. This gives them a double
dose of training-for they must be able to
drill equally we'll afoot or on horseback
as we'll as double lot to learn. But they
all insist, to a man, that they're not infan-
trymen-or "doughboys" and Leather
necks," as they derisvely call them-but
"dsmounted cavalry" And so be it, since
they are so terribly proud of their branch OF
the service and so loyal to It.
There were 1ully as many, or more, OF
these "dismounted cavalrymen" up on the
hills going through regular infantry drill as
there were cavalrymen astride horses
hundreds of them, olive-drab units march
ing, marching everywhere among the
wheeling circling horses, making one dizzy
just watching. And standing about on lone
prominences were various officers, silent,
alert, their horses like statues-if statues
could switch angrlly at files-their keen
eyes watching, very critically. this army
of these United States grow. picking out the
mistakes and faws in underofficers and
men,
It gave one a strange. comforted feeling
"a strange impression of a determination
to see to It that all these hundreds of boys
were perfect in all the tricks of the trade
80 they could take care of themselves And
how young the most of them seemed! Slim,
smooth-cheeked boys. their faces just grow
ing up TO the square manlness OF their
trim shoulders, for the cavalry takes
younger boys than any other branch of the
service-Mary Woodson Shippey, in South
ern Woman's Magazine. T.

THE TAMMANIES

UDOES not every American feel that
- assurance has been added to our
hope for the future peace of the world
by the wonderful and heartening things
that have been happening within the last
few weeks In Russia?" asked Mr.. Wilson
in his war speech.
Does not every American feel that as.
surance has been added to our hope for
the future peace of our cities by the
wonderful and heartening things that
have been happening within the last
few months in New York?
1t seemed as impossible to dislodge the
Tammany autocrats as to dethrone the
Gar To many it seems impossible now
to dethrone PenYose, McNichol and the
Wares. But it is possible. 1t is possible
by keeping everlastingly at it. 1t is pos.
sible because anything that men believe
is possible does eventually come to pass.
But they must be mea. Does any one
suppose that if John Purroy Mitchell had
been Philadelphian he would have put
up with this nonsense?
The respectable New York Tammany
men are deserting in droves. The re.
spectacle Philadelphia Tammany men
will desert in droves as soon as there is
a determined leader.

ALL THE 10000, 900 DRAFTED

WIHEN the President said universal
w liability" he meant it. Every one
of the 100000 drafted men is drafted,
and there was no gambling in lives when
the numbers were drawn from the jar.
The War Department has just empha-
sized this fact by requesting funds to
provide for total force of 1900, 900, and
it is said that plans look forward to a
possible total of 100000. On that basis,
with those justly exempt thrown out,
every ablebodied man of the 10000, 900
whose family can take care Of itself will
have to serve, whether his number was
the first drawn or the ten thousandth.
There is no favoritism in the draft, not
even the favoritism Of Fortune.

initials only are given:
HILL 119
A hundred years from now, when summer
nights
Are deep and still above the dreamy grain,
When moonlight on the mossy village roofs
Falls in a flood, and whitens lawn and lane,
Some lone belated peasant, quick with wine,
Or weak of wit or weary unto trance,
Staggering up the road, will see, perhaps,
A vision Of the curse that fel. on France
A hundred years ago; the quaking sky
Will crash and sigh and moan in agonies
A fiery tossing host will trample down
Village and grain and grove and poplar
trees
once more the pitted hill will shake and
groan;
Once more, through eddying smoke and
claps of fire,
The long thin line will struggle up the
slope
To perish in the thorny webs of wire.
And then the sight will fade; the moon will
smile
AS tranquil as before on roof and bough.
Only a midnight shudder Of the leaves
VIII stir the hill, a hundred years from
now.

effort to eliminate the slums. we knew
Jimmy Carey as an efficient special po'
llceman, who kept the mixed pickles Of
that neighborhood in pretty good order.
He was guide, philosopher and friend
to many a fuzzy-bearded young inferno
from the nearby hospitals, who felt an
occasional stunning trip a necessary
part of their education. The denizens
didn't mind the doctors, but they had
no love at all for newspaper men, so
whenever we went hunting for news
there Jimmy went with us and called
us Doc" We got into the habit of
carrying liver pills and sundry strong
remedials of like sort with u.s. that we
might live up to our character.
After a time we worked up such
reputation as a healer we got scared and
had to quit frequenting the district.
