Deskwork Impairs
Health of Cavalry
Officers, Is Claim

Deskwork doesn't agree with
Cavalry officers.
During inspections of the last
fiscal year Maj. Gen. Malin Craig,
chief Of Cavalry, was greatly i'm
pressed by the evident physical
condition Of Cavalry officers on
duty with troops. In his annual
report, just made public. he said he
saw signs Of mental alertness in
officers of adj grades, contrasting
greatly with my daily impression
Of the lower physical condition of
officers on duties which necessi-
tate a sedentary existence"
Gen. Craig said he believed this
subject is of such vital Importance
in its application to Cavalry officers
ordered on detached service that |
recommend that they be considered
as on mounted status at all times,
and that provision be made for the
transportation and care of their pri
vate mounts when so detached"
In general, the chief of Cavalry
declared that the whole question of
conserving the health and insuring
the physical fitness Of detached Of
ficers and men should be made the
subject of a War Department study.

streams have cut off the French and

sections from their base Of operation.

The armies Of these two nations
are now on rations that are very
scant Food conveys are sent from
the base of operation toward detach-
ment of French or Spanish cavalry
troops. On the way the heavy food
trucks sink into mud. Before the
French and Spanish mercenaries are
able to drag the heavy food supply
wagons out of the mud, the Riffs
have surrounded them and taken the
supplies.
The imperialists in their despera-
ton are now attempting to transport
food and other needed articles by air
plane, Large nets are erected at the
posts and as the airplanes fly by,
they swoop down and drop their
load This system has not been able
to feed any number of soldiers.

With the coming of rain, the Riff
Tribesmen have been harassing the
lines of the French and Spanish COM
