USE or CAVALRY IN BATTLE
Roman and Greek Characters Were
Formidable Foemen-German Tribes
Dsdained the Saddle.

In the old days when the Romans
and Greeks fought furious battles, the
charioteers drove their cars In all d.
iections, hurled their javelIns, and by
the din and clatter of horses and
wheels commonly threw the ranks Of
the enemy into disorder, and, making
their way among the squadrons of the
enemy's cavalry. leaped down from
their chariots and fought on foot. The
charioteers then withdrew, little by
little, from the fight, and placed their
chariots in such a way that X they
were hard pressed they could readily
retreat to their own side. Thus in bat
tie they afforded the mobility of cav
airy with the steadiness of infantry.
Daily practice enabled them to pull up
their horses when going at full speed
on a steep slope, or run out on the
pole and stand on the yoke, and to get
nimbly back into the chariot.
With the introduction Of cavalry in
the later iron age came larger horses,
Dut their use for this purpose seems to
have been restricted to isolated areas.
There is no doubt that the west Ger
man tribes, as late as the campaign of
Caesar. in Gaul, used only the shaggy
pony. It is said. in cavalry actions they
held it disgraceful and slothful to use
any kind of saddle, and instead OF
charging in squadrons they dismounted
and fought on foot. AS far as England
is concerned, the art Of riding seems to
lave been introduced by the Normans.
The Saxons appear to have been but
Indifferent hOrSemen.

TINE new separate skirts which
u make their appearance early ar
rived the latter part of December and
by the middle of January we were
quite familiar with them. They are
more indispensable than ever to the
southern tourist, whose time is sup
posed to be spent out Of doors in the
pursuit Of some sort of sport. Judging
from the color and rich appearance Of
some of these new skirts the most
popular resort sport is the wearing Of
good looking clothes.
The wooden skirts are mostly in
large plaids in which very soft and
quiet colors are skillfully combined.
There are some smart black and white
combinations among them and some in
which black and whil plaid stripes
alternate with soft colors in stripes.
These are made up with inverted
plaits, like the skirt shown at the left
of the two pictured above. No colors
but the black and white appear, ex-
cept as the plaits are spread apart by

A Drawback.

Jacob Rupert, the New York brew
cr. told at luncheon story about
war profiteer.
"He gave dinner one night" said
Mr.. Rupert, land when his wife en-
tered the drawing room he was as
tonished to see her in a very decol-
lete dinner gown-no sleeves, very low
in the front, and lower still in the
back. His wife had never worn a
decollete gown before and the profteer
stared at her in bewilderment.
".Well,' she said, don't you like 1t!
Don't you like this Paris CONNECTION,
darling?
( ".Sure l like it. said the profiteer,
but what want to know is, honey,
where the dickens, are you goin' to
tuck your napkin?'

now to be the bone of controversy.
and the question is:

to repel external aggression against
members of the league. When we
are told, as President Wilson recent
ly told us. that those who do not
care to tell you the truth about the
league Of nations, tell you that arti-
Gle X of the covenant of the league
OF nations would make It possible
for the other nations to lead us into
war, II may be just as well to in
quire who told us so? The person
who told me that under article X we
were under an absolutely compelling
moral obligation to go to war to
repel external aggression against
member of the league of nations,
was President Wilson as the follow
ing dialogue at the White House
dscloses:
Senator Knox-Nr. President,
allow me to ask this question. Sup
, pose that 1t is perfectly obvious and
accepted that there is an external
aggression against some power. and
suppose It is perfectly obvious and
accepted that it cannot be repelled
except by force Of arms; would we
be under any legal obligation to par
ticipate?'

would be under an absolutely com
polling moral obligation
