Is Cavalry Obsoletee

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: On your editorial page of Feb
ruary 20, under the heading ais Cav
airy Obsolete?" you state "Instructed
by Allied experience, the American
command did not send a single cav
airy unit overseas; the old mounted
units of the regular army and
the National Guard were utilized as ar
tillery." AS a matter of fact, there
were four complete regiments of Amer
lean cavalry belonging to the regular
army on duty in France with the A. E.
F. The Sd Cavalry arrived in France
late in the year 1917 and the Cd, 9Th
and 18th Cavalry regiments arrived In
France not later than the first week of
April, 1918.
AS to the second half of the state
ment quoted above, only few Of the
army were utilized as artillery, and
the cavalry units of the New York
National Guard were used as machine
gun battalions. Of the four regular
the I'd, was fortunate enough to get
into action, and l believe that one
troop Of the Sd Cavalry was badly cut
up by an attack from German aviators.
1t is also interesting in connection
with your statement that modern war
fare has rendered cavalry practically
useless to point out that many officers
ard men who took part in the pursuit
of the defeated German army after the
Argonne Forest had been cleared have
told me that this pursuit would have
been much more expensive to the Ger
mans in the loss Of men and materials
if our troops had been aided by
cavalry.
believe it was tho intention of our
General Headquarters to bring to
France during the winter Of 1918-Is
enough regiments Of cavalry to pro-
vide an entire division, which was
to be used in the spring of 1919
against the German armies. My own
regiment, the 6th Cavalry, had already
moved and was in the midst of prepara-
tions to proceed to the front when the
armistice was signed.
l am writing this letter merely to
correct misstatement Of fact and, in
cidentally, to say that my own expert
ence convinces me that the conclusions
reached by the military critic in "The
London Post" from whose article you
quote, will stand in spite of recent de-
velopments in warfare.

Fifth Avenue Object Lesson

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Fifth Avenue Coach Com
pany has given to the City of New
York very valuable object lesson IN
its successful handling of the snow
problem over its route, which should
not be lost sight of. The corporation,
knowing that big snow falls are to be
expected, had made duo preparations,
so that Immediately the storm began
it had its feet of snow-sweeping ma
chimes covering many miles Of routes
from Washington Square to 18th
Street-over Fifth Avenue, Broadway,
Riverside Drive and St. Nicholas
Avenue. 1t also attached trailers
to the busses, scraping the snow 10
the width of double track to the
sides Of tho streets, so that at no time
was their road blocked or transporta-
tion interfered with. In fact, 1t was
only the quick, thorough, effective
work Of tho Fifth Avenue Coach Com
pany that gave the above mentioned
streets, over which Its buses were
driven. clear passage for vehicles.
Had similar preparations been made
by the trolley lines and the city, and
as promptly put into effect, New York
would have been saved the blockade
OF its business streets, which resulted
in great loss and inconvenience to the

The "Wep CAMPAIGN

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The attempt Of the Anti-Saloon
League to convey the impression that
the citizens who are protesting against
the iniquitous Volstead law, or attack
ing the validity of the Eighteenth
Amendment, are countenancing law
breaking or disrespect for the gov
ernment is a clever trick, but one that
will not work. The Anti-Saloon League
is not yet the government of this
country, though it thinks that it is.
There are millions of sober, temperate
men and women who believe that they
have natural and unalienable right
to decide as to what beverage they
shall drink, and they resent the as
sumption that band Of self-constitut-
ed reformers have any right to dictate
to them in matter relating solely to
their personal tastes. They favor ac-
ton thoroughly to test the validity
of the Eighteenth Amendment, and if
that effort fails to bring about It's
repeal. In so doing they are just as
good, just as aw-abiding and just as
true Am ericans as the men and women
who have forced upon the country
measure that directly violates the let
ter and spirit of the Declaration of
Independence. and, we believe, also the
Constitution of the United States.
The violent abuse with which the
AntiSaloon League has assailed all
those, including the Vigilance League,
who protest against the action of Con-
gressmen and state legislators who had
no mandate from the people on this
issue, is proof that they are at least
doubtful as to whether, on a popular
vote, they would have received q ma
jority. The test of the true spirit of
Americanism is loyalty to the princi-
pie Of personal liberty which is the
cornerstone Of American political lib
erty, and it is q new and un-American
doctrine that would deny to free citi-
zens of the United States the right
to test the validity of law or con-
stitutional amendment, or to seek its
repeal. E. J. SERVER,

Necessarily Non-Partisan

The dlscouraging news from Wash
ington with respect to the treaty's
prospects emphasize a fact which
long ago should have been, empha
sized.
This is that if there is to be rati-
flcatlon the action must be non-par-
tlsan. 1t is not within the power
of the Republican majority to ratify,
even though all the Republican Sen
ators were lined up for ratification.
" 'th respect to treaty ratification
there Is no party majoMty.
No party controls the two-thirds
of the Senate constitutionally re-
quired for ratification. 1t is the
habit to speak of the Republican
Sepate. There is no such Senate
when treaty is up on final rollcall.
Harm has been done by the Taft
League and such supporters of rati-
fication as our neighbors The World
and The Times by the practice of
abusing Senator Lodge and his as
sociates on the theory that power is
with them. They have not the votes
to ratify anything. They have con-
trolled preliminaries, but have not
command over the final result. Yet
steadily the unfair statement has ap-
peared that they are responsible.
Taking human nature as it is. such
tactics have naturally increased the
number of Republican incorrigibles.
Every ratification Senator, if hon
estly deslrous of action, must con-
slder the views, even the mistaken
views, of every ratification COL
league without respect to party.
Senator Lodge, to whom the chief
personal credit will be due if there
is a good result, is working along
those lines. If Senator Hitchcock
and other hitherto "me too" Admin
istration Senators can be induced to
ahow similar spirit, ratification
may yet be secured

and there was not man Of military
age, regardless of condition, but that

work
McDonough is real American. He
knows what he is about and he knows
the Iron River people. He is the kind
of man who sees that the law Is en-
forced, no matter whom it hits, and
he is not a 1awbreaker. If he took the
wine away from a revenue officer it is
perfectly safe and Unnle Sam can get
it any time he wants it, provided the
man who goes after it Is armed with
the proper credentials. He does not
need gun. If he did take it away
from a revenue officer it was because
the revenue officer could not make a
showdown of his authority. know
McDonough, and he is thoroughbred
and full blooded American.
Dalrymple is making a mistake and
he will find it out. He can't scare the
Iron River people with guns and dep
uties. They were ready to die for their
country, and dying doesn't bother
them when they see duty or right.
His threats of shooting have the same
effect on the people of the Iron River
country that such threat would have
if made on you by five-year-old boy
with toy gun.
There Is no place In this country
where law is law any more than In the
Iron River country. They have had
to make their own laws often. Some
times they have to use their own means
for enforcement, but they are not law
breakers, nor are they tho type of peo-
pie who cannot give up anything when
the majority rules that way. Tho Iron
River country has always been a tenn
perate country in all things, and the
only place I ever see any people like
them here Is occasionally on the NOV
ing picture screen.
When New Workers are seeking q
place to 60 to see people, scenery and
get atmosphere they would do we'll to

, the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: When foreigner comes to this
country he generally does SO because
he can make more money here, can
live better and enjoy greater liberty
than he could in his own country
Considering these and other advan-
tages, he should consider it a great
privilege to be allowed to become q
member of our great democratic family.
Usually, he knows, or should know,
what our form OF government is like,
and if this form doesn't appeal to him
he shouldn't have come.
We all know that no perfect form
OF government has yet been evolved,
and we are all striving to better our
own through the study Of our prob
lens and the intelligent use of the
vote. Thus do we hope, by peaceful
evolution, to attain that which is the
dream of the masses and which has
never approached adequate realization,
government Of the people, by the
people and for the people.
After residing here a reasonable
length of time, the foreigner Is given
the same opportunity to participate in
this process Of evolution as man
born in this country. He should be
thankful for this privilege and nshould
consider it his duty to abide by the
laws Of the country, and then through
the intelligent use of his vote to aid
In the struggle for better government
and better conditions for the prole-
tariat.
If he has extremely radical tenden-
cies and thinks that he and a few
others Of his ilk can change the world
overnight through violence and blood
shed he should have remained in his
own country, where tho need for mi
provement was probably many tim es
greater than here, and where martyr
dom to his cause would be more fully
appreciated than it would be by q lot
OF sane and loyal Americans.
Reform, like charity, should begin
at home, and 1t seems strange that
these people should come over here
and try to reform US, when their own
countries are so much more in need of

reformers, than we are ever likely to

a tail and otherwise comported it.
self in true celestial fashion. But
it was only another earth risk
ing the burning of his wings in the
sun like Icarus-and all but meeting
the fate of his ancient predecessor
In that famous myth it was heat,
increasing as he neared the sun, that
melted the waxen wings of Icarus.
The modern actuality reverses the
danger; not heat, but pitiless cold
places the limits to aerial ascension
and nearly brought Major Schroeder
to his end. Yet the myth has aston
ishing truth of prophecy, for surely
the terrible cold of these thin airs,
seven miles above the earth, is not
less consuming and fatal than any
scorching fire.
Seven miles is still a long way
short of the stretches that separate
us from the p1anets-or even the
moon. But no wonder imaginations
have begun to toy with the idea of
men from Mars.
A generation ago what could have
seemed more unbelievable than this
skyey climb over Ohio. Now it
gives new thrill, not so much be-
cause Of its new altitude record or
the successful working of the oxy-
gen device for securing engine ef-
ficiency in rarehed atmospheres, but
for the strange spectacle and wild
surmises it yielded the watchers on
land. Flying is already an old
story. Yet what worlds of adven-
ture and romance and impossible
ties it has opened up for mans mag
nation to conquer!
