GERMAN CAVALRY
 STILL VERY ACTIVE
They Have at Their Disposal 649 Squadrons Ready for Service

French Front, December 27 Cor respondence) ce)-Trench warfare has not diminished the German cavalry forces as had been generally sup posed for information which has just reached the, correspondent of The Associated Press show the total of squadrons in the service to be even higher than it was at the mobilization in 1914 Changes, however, have been introduced in the mounted arm Of the service by which some of the squadrons temporarily have been dis mounted and utilized as infantry, while the formations have undergone considerable variation. ,.
 At present the German army has at its disposal no fewer than 649 squadrons of cavalry, comprising ac- tive, reserve. mobile ersatz, landwehr and landsturrn units, but of these IA have been separated from their horses and used as infantry. This figure compares with 40 squadrons on a peace footing. --A :.
 When war began the German cav- airy was at once formed into eleven divisions. each composed of six regi- ments of four squadrons. Besides those, 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 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 formations to six, while the divisions themselves were reduced from six regiments to four each. At the same time independent brigades of mounted troops were formed. of which the existence of at least five is known. each having three regiments of four squadrons each. r> &r.<
 Nearly every infantry division is provided also with unit of cavalry whose strength varies according to the nature of the country in which the troops are operating.

FAT GENTLEMEN
 LOSE THEIR FEED
There Is Groaning and Moaning,
 and Crashing of Teeth

Now York, Dec. 27.-Unto the An cient Honored and AmalgamAted Or der of Fat Gentlemen of New York City has come disaster. Yea. disaster has come in great gobs. And it has dealt staggering blow. Read on!
 Forty men comprise the club. whose headquarters is at 243 East Third street. Any man whose avoirdupois can be estimated by the poorly cdu- cated is non plus ultra, ct cetera, @ pluribus unum or any other old thing but eligible to belong. To be mem ber in good standing one must tip the scales anywhere from two hundred and seventy pounds to three thousand. The president, 1t is understood, is for bidden by law to step on ahybody's scales.
 Now, these little fellows were to have g. Christmas Day dinner at head quarters, the latter place also being the home of Frank J. Dotzler, one time Alderman, now a plumber. And turkeys and chickens and pies and cakes and goodness knows what else were sent there to be baked. And they waro baked. And the night be- fore Christmas they were carted out to the bin in the back yard to keep cool. then to be relocated. o
 This is really too sad to tell.
 When MT. Dotzlef, weighing three hundred and eighty pounds in the shade, scampered out of bed and into the backyard yesterday morning-- Great guns! Freezes of gentle spring. time! Holy plenipotentiaries! There was nothing to be seen but turkey bones and pie crusts. v.-
 Imagine little Frankie Dotzler standing there in the first gray light of the morning dawn. grieying as if his heart would break. '
 It is difficult to write further.
 How the hours passed after that MT. Dotzler does not know. When he at last recovered himself and brushed away the tears, through the mist he saw coming down Third street. three abreast, completely blocking traftic. William Wilson. 375 pounds; Frank Benedict, BIO: Robert Beck, 270. and couple of men who as yet have not been able to gain admittance into the club on account of their sliEhtness-- Jack Bossman, 24o pounds, and Wil- liam Mertz. 266.
 They were the committee appointed earlier in the week to go to the ban- quet hall in advance to arrange the high chairs and get things in order for the other boys.
 Hippety- hopping up the walk to where MT. Dotzler stood. they stopped suddenly, aghast, when they saw the look on his face. Then he just out and told them the whole story. Whether tramps from the river front or dogs from the neighborhood or just low down. ordinary sneak thieves perpetrated the act is no, known. But whoever did 1t may have 1 the pleasure now of knowing he broke the hearts of forty little fel- lows whose stomachs have not been l filled for years. ..
 There are other touching incidents ] In connection with the affair but 1t is l impossible to write through tears.
