CAVALRY WAS PRAISED.
Col. Edward Davis Told Norwich Stu
dents of It's Use.

Northfield, Oct. 24.-That the cav
airy still has valuable place in mod
ern warfare was shown by Colonel Ed,
ward Davis OF Washington, d. G..
American army observer, attached to
General Allenby's staff during the Pal.
estine and Syrian campaigns, in an II.
lustrated address delivered before the
cadet corps Of Norwich university here
last night. During the World war
Colonel Davis was on every front ex-
cept in Russia, and as military at
tache to Allenby's staff made a par
ticular study Of the operations of the
mounted forces. He took a large num-
Der of pictures of the various phases
of the campaign, and last night used
about rs of these to augment his ad-
dress.
"The cavalry could not be used in
France where siege warfare was
carried on Colonel Davis explained,
sbut in Palestine and Syria, where q
movement campaign was waged
throughout the cavalry proved to be
OF great value. This campaign showed
that use Of mounted forces is just as
important as in earlier wars, and the
more cavalry that can be used the bet
ter.
The .many successful cavalry
charges used by the English and Aus
tralians against the Turks demon
strate the cavalry's value. Only the
use of the barbed wire can defeat a
cavalry charge, and barbed wire can be
used only when battle lines are estab-
lished close to railroads that can trans
port it in sufficient amounts. In Pal
estine fire-swept zones were crossed
with such rapidity by cavalry troops
that objectives were gained with slight
loss-s In charging Beersheba, which
was held by entrenched Turkish infan-
try, 500 Australian cavalrymen lost
only 45 men, whereas some 100 Turks
were killed and 100 captured, and a
doubtful situation was turned into q
great victory, The entire charge con-
sumed less than As minutes.
"a similar force of English troopers
sweeping across 1000 yards of level
land before FL Mughar, where the
Turks held position on a hill, took
over 1000 of the enemy with but
slight losses to themselves. Trenches
failed to stop the charging horses, who
hurdled all obstacles. The capture of
FL Mughar allowed the English infan-
try which could not charge the Turk
ish fire to advance after the cavalry
had epened the way.
"In all, the English and Australian
cavalry launched 20 successful charges
which alone enabled General Allenby
to lead his forces victoriously into
Jerusalem"

we're to cause the death OF his aunt,

opening argument to-day to the jury
before which Gettigan is being tried
ON murder charge. A previous jury

Mr.. Caro- said that Gettigan believed
that through the death of his aunt he
might inherit riches which he thought
his uncle possessed.
The state would show, Mr.. Caro-
continued. that Gettigan had asked
William Lindsay, an AFRICAN dodger, "
to chloroform the woman. II would
also be shown, he said, that when Mrs.
Cooks body was exhumed nearly three
