GERMANS ARE STILL
EMPLOYING CAVALRY

FRENCH FRONT, Dec. 26.-Trench
warfare has not diminished the Ger
man cavalry forces as had been gen.
orally supposed, for information has
just reached the correspondent of the
Associated Press which shows the to-
tai of squadrons in the service to be
even higher than it was at the mobil-
i2ation in 1914. Changes, however,
have been introduced in the mounted
arm Of the service, by which some Of
the squadrons temporarily have been
dismounted and utilized as infantry,
while the formations have undergone
considerable variation.
At present the German army has at
its disposal no less than 649 squadrons
of cavalry, comprising active, reserve,
mobile ersatz, landwehr and land
strum units. but of these 144 have been
separated from their horses and used
as infantry. This figure compares with
40 squadrons on a peace footing,
When war began the German caval-
~ was at once formed into eleven di-
visions, each composed OF six regi-
1uents of four squadrons Besides those
there were also the bodies of divisional
cavalry attached to the active and re-
serve divisions of infantry
Rumania's entry into the war made
rlore cavalry formations necessary and
the number of organized divisions was
at once increased to fourteen
The spring of 1917 saw the end OF
the Rumanian campaign, and with this
came a decrease of the divisional for
nations to six, while the divisions
themselves were reduced from six regi'
n!ents to four each. At the same time
Independent brigades of mounted
troops were formed, of which the ex~
tstence of at least five is knewn, each
having three regiments Of four squad
rons each
Nearly every infantry division is
provided also with a unit of cavalry
whose strength varies according to the
nature of the country in which the
troops are operating.
From among the cavalrymen who,
temporarily, are not employed on
mounted duty at the front, twenty
III, &c regiments of riflemen have been
formed. which take their turn in
holding trenches with the ordinary in
fantry formations Each of these regi-
ments is composed of four squadrons
and a squadron of machine gunners.
Besides these other units of cavalry
men selected from the regiments of
the active army are from time to time
used as infantry, but their exact num-
bers are not ascertaiGable.

elorIfied Junk.

The queerest thing about the war to
me. said junkman whose business
runs into five figures annually, "is the
fact that it has made even old tin cans
valuable One Iowa junkman who had
been holding his stock Of scrap iron,
old brass rags, rubber and paper for
higher prices sold his boarded junk at
the end Of the first year of war for
100000. Junk is tremendously valn-
able. Now attempts are being made
to salvage the tin film on so-called
tin cans by melting them. Tin is
very valuable as a war metal and the
despised tin can is becoming an eco
homie asset where formerly it was a
liability. Rags, tin and battered old
copper boilers, brass candlesticks
stove lids and old newspapers, rubber
wires aluminium and lead have dou-
bed and quadrupled in price since the
great war began"
