CAVALRY BENEFITS
FROM HORSE RACING
BY II. G. Hamilton

| Sb'SN4 AAenn os@h NVtkGePuuuEHl
New York. May 81. Opposition
to racing in certain sections of
the country is a serious menace
to the future of remounts for the
United States cavalry, In the
opinion of more than one man
who has no mercenary reason for
wishing racing to continue.
Unless racing is encouraged
breeders will be discouraged.
Without the test that comes from
horse racing. the strains % STAN
ina and speed cannot be brought
out for use of the army.
These statements certainly are
borne out by the examples of
care and breeding set by the
governments of England and
France, In the latter country it
has been made practically i'm
possible to take a mare to ans
other country.
In England just as much care
is being exercised A prominent
EnRlishman was sent to this
country at the outbreak of the
war to obtain cavalry for remount
purposes, but he found that it
was practically impossible to get
enough horses of the kind want.
ed to make it worth his while to
search for them.
1t may be argued against this
that cavalry is becoming obsolete
in the war, yet records show
that it was a detachment of cav.
airy that closed a serious breach
in the British lines during the
recent heavy fighting near
Amiens. Fifteen new cavalry
regiments have been authorized
for the United States.
German cavalry has been in
action recently. and French horse
men played an important part in
the gallant defense of the French
lines during the fierce fighting in
the big offensive.
Horse racing has evils. but no
more than many other sports,
and it is a big help to the govern
ment through its assistance in
horse breeding.

corns nurse are separate and distinct.
The term Red Cross nurse. as IL Is
generally used, unwittingly has been
the cause OF holding back much pub
lie praise and knowledge regarding the
9reat work Of the women soldiers-the
Army Nurse corps. The army nurses.
NJ course, are Red Cross nurses under
the Geneva convention, because they
do Red Cross work. They give expert
treatment to the wounded and sick Of
the army, not only at bases but on the
feld. Theirs. too. is most hazardous
and noble work, and there Is also due
TO them praise without end.
Women Of the Army Nurse corps
may be assigned to a mobile operating
unit, or to a field hospital, and sub
tected to heavy Smelling. Already the
matter Of experiencing airplane raids
has become a common occurrence TO
hundreds Of the corps who are in
france and Belgium with the lads.
But that phase Of their status which is
not generally understood even by SOL
diers, is that they are an integral part
of the immense medical organization
of the army. They are under military
discipline at all times. They are paid
and housed under conditions not so
very dissimilar from those surrounding
the men in the ranks. They are SOL
diers in almost every sense Of the

The result of today's Federal cleo
tions becomes OF absorbing interest be-
cause OF the unusual clearness OF the
issue, which Is simply this. whether
the welfare of the country will be
safer in the hands OF Republicans or
Democrats, simply because they are
Republicans or Democrats. No such
issue has ever been made before. GER
tainly not with such uncquivocal
clcarncsS. The president made il in
the recently published appeal to the
country, in which nc asked for the
election of Democrats in order that he
might not be hampcred in his dealing
with the making of peace and with the
problems growing out Of the war. The
Republicans have powerfully resented
the presidents appeal on the claim
that they have supported the war with
even greater zeal than have many OF
the more notable Democratic leaders.
The old time bitter rivals. Roosevelt
and Taft, representing the two wings
into which the Republican party has
been split for some years. have come
together and asked for united action
in behalf of the party. 1t is strange
situation. There is no difference ap-
parcntly as to measures: but merely a
difference as to whether Democrats or
Republicans shall rule. And as the re-
suit of today's election that is about
the only question that will be decided.

The Grcenvillc Piedmont is very
much concerned about the future OF
South Carolina politics and we are
very much in sympathy with 1t. The
politics of South Carolina for many
| years have been of the most selfish
nature imaginable. Previous TO 1890
the state was in the hands of little
oligarchy which seemed to care for
nothing except the perpetuation OF Its
own rule. Its ideas were patterned
tion that there must he ruling class
and a serving class. The principle OF
liberty, equality and justice was not
held in favor. II was important only
that the ruling class and those attach
I'd 10 il he held up and the serving
class and those not content to support
the ruling class be held down. The
political power was in the hands of
had come to- accept the situation as
hopeless. That is fact. The Tillman
revolution was based upon the idea
Of equal rights to all and special priv
il".cs to none. The people were In
trrcstcd because they believed that
each and every individual would have
as much voice in the government as
any other individual through his bal
lot. The movement was successful:
but there was very little Improvement,
possibly through the fault OF Tillman:
but moro probably through the fault
of the discomfort Of the oligarchic
crowd that had not been able to recon-
cile itself to being choked off the teat
of power, prestige and privilege. II
had but small dream of the principle
of equal right or of democracy. for 1t
looked upon all who were outside OF
its own narrow circle as only mt TO
serve their "betters." And about
those "betters" there was little that
was good. But anyhow the system
built up by Tillman was very largely
a counterpart Of the system that had
been overthrown. 1t was perpetual
tion of that system with but very lit
tie difference, except in the shape OF
different personnel. The idea OF con-
ducting the government on a basis OF
welfare. of uplift, the progress Of the
people at large, held a very small
place in the plans Of either crowd.
There has been change OF personnel
but very little change Of principle
since 1890. What the state needs in
politics Is recognition Of the fact that
the government really belongs to the
people and that public officials are to
be supported solely on basis OF the
extent to which they really serve the
interest OF the people. Those who
really achieve something for the pub
lie good should receive public applause
and gratitude and those who seek only
their own personal advancement
should be relegated to positions in
which they cannot exploit the people
for their own selfish ends.

re- e-organization Is not to be complst-
ed in a day.
II has required the better part Of
two years for America to commence
getting herself In good fighting trim,
and IL stands to reason that 1t will re-
ouire several years more to adjust
herself to the new conditions that
have been created.
Even If there was nothing to do now
but TO bring the American soldiers
who are abroad back home at the most
rapid rate at which they went out,
some 250,O00 a month, IL would not
be possible to land them at home with
in less than eight months.
But there is a lot more to do.
The Turkish empire has been torn
to pieces, the great Russian empire is
in a state OF chaos. the Austrian en-
pirc is in quite as bad shape. and the
conditions OF the German empire. when
things have run their natural course.

consummation of the great catastro-
phe. upon them devolvcs the respon-
sibility of bringing order out Of chaos,
and restoring the protection of law TO
the many peoples who would 9TH
erwise be subject to anarchy and ruin.
There will he necessity for the oc-
cupation OF many OF the conquered
countries by Allied troops during tho
process of reconstruction, and of
il will be necessary for America to
take large and important hand in all
this.
To accomplish the task she has be-
fore her, America will need large
army for some time TO come. and al
though it is not to be expected that
the troops which have been doing and
are doing the fighting over there are
going to be required TO remain indef-
nitely on the job. 1t is quite fair to as
sumo that conscription and training
will continue in this country for quite
a while.
At Il venture We would say that ex-

That little provision in the Allied
peace terms which requires the Turk
ish authorities to turn over to the JUS
ticc of the Allies those Turkish lead
ers who may be accused Of having dis
regarded the recognized rules of civil
lied warfare, is no doubt Of very grave
concern 10 many members OF the Ger
man junkcr class. In time OF war So
called martial law becomes the rule.
Martial law in its essence Is the will OF
the commander having jurisdiction
over the territory occupied by the
people TO be dealt with. But martial
law is only good and justitiable so
long as the individuals by whom 1t is
exercised are in absolute control.
When the tables are turned the civil
law. the common law, the law of right
and justice, holds the dispensers OF
martial law TO account, on a basis OF
the righteousness and justice of their
acts.
