LEARNED A MUCH
NEEDED LESSON
(Associated Press)

Atlanta, Dec. 29.-Army doctors at
Camp Gordon, the cantonment near
Atlanta where 10000 troops of the
national army are being trained, have
discovered a, new form of heart dis
ease brought on by the drill and phys
ical EXERCISES which the men perform
in their daily training.
At the outset of the training camp
it was noticed that every day mum
Der of men would fall by the wayside
during a hike or march or a drill.
The commander paid but little atten-
tion to these men, thinking they were
simply tired and possibly were taking
"a more serious fatigue than they felt.
But when the men continued to drop
out, the army doctors were called In
to make an investigation.
They found that the systematic
training, so different from the mac
tive routine of many men who take
no exercise, produced form Of heart
failure, and that this trouble become
chronic if a soldier fell out Of ranks
as many as three times. They found
further, that man whose trouble had
become chronic was no longer fit for
military duty. His heart could not be
depended on to perform its functions.
But if they took him after his first
fainting spell and gave him careful
rest cure treatment in the hospital,
he became all right and stood the
test of daily drilling without any

GERMAN CAVALRY
In Spite OF Trench Fighting, thai
Arm of Their Service is Yet a
Formidable Force
( ASSOCIATED Press)

The French 'FRONT.' Correspond
nce).-Trench warfare has not di-
minished the German cavalry forces,
as has been generally supposed for
information which has just reached
the correspondent of the Associated
Press shows the total of squadrons
in the service to be even higher than
it was at the mobilization in 1914.
Changes, however, have been intro
duced in the mounted arm of the SER
vice by which some of the squadrons
temporarily have been dismounted
and utilized as infantry. while the
formations have undergone consid-
cradle variation.
1 At present the German army has
at its disposal no fewer than $40
squadrons of cavalry, comprising ac-
tive, reserve, mobile ersatz, landwehr
and landstrum units, but. of these LA
have been separated from their
horses and used as infantry. This
figure compares with 440 squadrons
on peace footing.
When war began the German cav
airy was at once forced into eleven
divisions, each composed of six regi-
ments of four squadrons. Besides
these, there were also the bodies of
divisional cavalry attached TO the ac-
tive and reserve divisions of infantry.
Rumania's entry into the war
made more cavalry formations neces-
sary and the number of organized di-

The spring of 1917 saw the end of
the Rumarian campaign, and with
this came aadecrease of the divisional
formations to six, while the divisions
themselves were reduced from six
regiments to four each. At the same
time independent brigades of mount
ed troops were formed, of which the
existence of at least five is known,
each having three regiments of four
souadrons each.
Nearly every infantry division is
provided also with unit of cavalry
whose strength varies according tc
the nature of the country in which
the troops are operating.

of the active army are from time Il

act numbers are not ascertainable.

ISRAEL IS WITH
THE ALLIES
Jewish Battalion Trained in England
to Fight the Turks in
Palestine
ASSOCIATED Press)

London, Dec. 29.-The new Jewish
battalion of the British army is now
encamped for its final training period
on hill side in the west of England.
Early in the new year it will leave
for the Palestine front.
The battalion is under the COM
mand of Colonel ]. H. Paterson, an
Irishman and great lion hunter in
East Africa in the days before the
war. His experience in command of
Jewish troops dates back to the Gal
lipoh campign, where he was in
eharge of the famous Zion Mule
Corps. formed in Egypt of Jewish
refugees from Palestine. After the
close of the Dardanelles campaign,
the Zion corps was disbanded, but
some of its members managed t.
make their way to England and form
the. nucleus of the new Jewish bat
talon.
As at present constituted, about
fifty per cent of the Jewish battal-
ion are British-born or naturalized.
The remainder includes the members
of the old Zion Mule Corps, large
number of Russian Jews, and cur,
ious melange from several allied and
neutral countries. The level of ply
sical fitness, according to the medf-
cal officers, is very high, particularly
in such matters as teeth and eye
sight.
The battalion is practically tee
total, and wet canteen which was
opened in camp a few weeks ago was
Closed in fortnight for lack of bus
mess. Colonel Patterson himself is
an ardent temperance advocate.
"Crime in the army" he said the
other day, sis due to drink and moth,
ing else. This is shown by the fact
that our guardroom has been empty
practically from the start, and you
would have to travel around many
training camps to see the like. The
disused cells have been turned into
bedrooms for the guards"
A great variety of trades and pro.
fessions are represented in the bat
talon. There are more tailors than
any other single trade, and this fact
is reflected in the excellent fit and
smart cut of the battalion's uniforms
There are several artists and sculp-
tors, the latter including a leading
British sculptor, Jacob Epstein, whose
work has been center of interest in
England for the past three years. A
prominent concert violinist, Anton
Tchaikov, is in the same company
with Epstein which also numbers a
young Russian who claims to be a
second cousin to Kerensky.
Regimental orders for the new
battalion are issued simultaneously
in English and Yiddish, and Yiddish
is used as much as English in in
struction. Some of the soldiers
hardly know the English words of
command, but all the non-commis-
stoned officers and most of the com.
missioned officers speak Yiddish flu
emily. The languages represented in
the ranks are more than a score in
number. One corporal speaks nine
languages.
The food served is strictly Kosher.
Saturday is the day off instead of
Sunday, and all the fast-days are OBJ
served with as much ceremony as the
military atmosphere will permit.
