Cavalrymen are very necessary on

The cavalry brigade under Briga-
der General Wolters is the only
cavalry unit in the Texas National
Guard and incidentally the only unit
of Africans" in the service. There
were 1873 men at this years camp,
while next year, Brigadier General
W0lters expects more than 1000 men.
The cavalrymen wear yellow hat
cords. For this reason, they some
times are mistaken for generals" be-
cause the generals hat cord is gold.
The men have gained a reputation
in San Antonio for their neat, mill
tary bearing while in the city.
There has been but one arrest, an
enlisted man a., w. o. L. four days
from camp. The other S32 men,
most of whom have remained in camp
since the training started, have man
aged to keep out of the guardhouse,
Brigadier General Wolters reported.
"Cavalrymen either in the regular
army. national guard or reserves, are
usually the kind of fellows V no like
horses, like all dumb animals for that
matter, and who are courteous, yet
rough and tumble soldiers" the gen.
eral said.
IF we find no-account loafers in
the cavalry, We soon give them so
much to do that they want to get
in some other branch of the SER
vice.
One, of the most famous of cavalry
officers, Colonel s. H. X. Tompkins,
known as "Colonel Tommy"

Colonel Tompkins has had

San Antonio business men are

Guard. back to Camp Stanley next
year for two weeks training, Briga-
dier General Jacob +. Wolters. the
commanding officer, said Saturday
while visiting at the Gunter Hotel.
"Our training this year starting a
week ago last Wednesday has been
more profitable to the national guard
than any two-week training period
we have ever had BEFORE" Brigadier
General Wolters said.
1.-The weather has been much cool
er at Camp Stanley than it was a
year ago at Camp Mabry.
SIN our two reviews, the men won
praise from Major General f. NJ.
Lewis, from Acting Governor L. w:
Davidson from Major General
George. c. Richards, from Colonel
Tommy Tompkins and from dozens
of others. For the first time in
our experience, the only all-Texas
cavalrymen are rated as a crack
outfit by men who know their bust
ness.
"Of course, the accommodations in
the way of buildings and general
camp accommodations are better at
Camp Mabry, but / have found that
because that camp is so near Austin,
the men take less interest in their
training and the officers are more
apt to spend so much time in town
that they aren't fit for hard riding.
Plenty Of Work.
"This is not true at Camp Stanley.
The men have been more or less
busy from dawn to dark so that be-
fore they know it they are picking
