PROPOSED CAVALRY INCREASE
To Replace Similar Regiments Of
Regulars and National Guard.

On1cers Of the General STAFF Corps
are considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of the
organization of forty regiments Of
cavalry to replace similar regiments Of
the Regular Army and the National
Guard recently reorganized into regi-
ments of field artillery.
The proposition. it is explained, does
not indicate any expectation Of using
cavalry in Europe at this time, but is
intended more as a precautionary
measure to round out the organization
of the Army corps.
The 100000 men now under arms
or in sight will make up at least
twenty Army corps. and it is hoped
to provide two regiments of cavalry
to each unit of that size The only
troops in the United States now or
gained as cavalry are the regulars
stationed along the Texas border. Re-
cent developments in Mexico have
strengthened the decision to maintain
these regiments in their present po-
sitions and to add to their number If
necessary.
