TANKS TO REPLACE
CHARGE Of CAVALRY
Horses Seemed Doomed in
French Army to Make
Room for Motor Age.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, October 1l.-Cavalry seems
doomed to disappear from the French
army within q few years.
Automobiles, tanks and airplane:
have already replaced or are in the
process Of replacing soldiers and off,
GERS mounted on prancing steeds, once
the pride Of French military life.
In the plans for the entire reor-
sanitation of the French army, which
Minister of War Painleve in collabora-
ton with the late Marshal Foch had
begun to elaborate in 1927 and Is now
continuing with Gen. Weygand and the
general staff, provision is made for only
two divisions of cavalry. At the be-
ginning of the war the French army
Boosted of Is mounted divisions.
Lengthy Discussion.
The decision was taken after long
and arduous discussion among French
military men. 1t overruled the out
spoken plea of Gen. Rampont, COM
mander-in-chief of French mounted
electives, who, after presenting lengthy
arguments in favor of the retention OF
cavalry as a weapon of war, concluded
his remarks with dispirited appeal:
ado not forget that cavalry. led by ener-
getic chiefs, can rended effective aid"
Gen. Rampont had warned: "In all
the wars of history, under Alexander,
Hannibal, Caesar, Turgenne, Napoleon
and in 1870. cavalry formed a large
percentage of the electives and played
q leading part in the results"
But the World War had changed all
that, said the leaders OF the opposition
to cavalry, as q useless and costly
weapon.
Warfare RevoIutiOnixed.
"a great war, revolutionizing all for
mer principles Of warfare, has just been
concluded. It lasted four years, upon
all sorts of terrains, under the most
varied circumstances, permitting the
use of all the different arms. which 60
to make up an army. During that
long war cavalry never played the
slightest role. After two months In
gether along the front lines and rele-
gated to the rear"
Such were the arguments advanced
by the aviation, artillery and infantry
officers.
Accommodating, liaison, before the
battles: charging infantry troops dur
ing the fights and pursuit of the
enemy after victory. have been the
tasks assigned to cavalry in all former
campaigns previous to the great war, "
Gen. Rampont pleaded.
This was met by the following reply:
Tanks Replace Horse Charge.
Accommodating and liaison: answer:
AirplaneS and motor cycles. Charges
Of cavalry; make it read: Tanks. Pur-
suit of the enemy: AirplaneS and au-
tomobiles"
Machine guns have relegated cavalry
to q state of absolute uSeleSsnesS in
actual battle, officers Of other arms
claimed.
And so it comes to pass that in the
new French army two lone divisions
Of mounted troops win uphold the glory
of one of the most brilliant arms in
French armies Of former centuries.

Passion for Education
Mark of Truly Great

In biography Of George Washing.
ton it is narrated that he was reIuc-
tant to visit France at the end of his
presidential term, because he could
not speak French.
Which is only another tribute to his
greatness and his wisdom.
What wise man does not regret
the lack of education? There is so
much to learn In life and so brief a
time in which to learn it! To grasp
the life and literature of those an
cient lands from which our eiyiliza.
tion and all our religions are de-
rived would require couple of cen.
turtles at least. And then we would
only be in the A B c class of modern
study.
The more one really learns, the
more one wants to learn. All who
hive tasted of education must regret
their lack of complete possession of it.
