Scatter Like QuaiI

Combining the motor and the
horse, the Army has developed
trailers for supply trucks so nghJ
that they may be drawn by two
horses in country where motor We
hicles cannot travel.
There is a certain definite need
for mechanical cavalry, Colonel
Joyce points out, but as supple
ment to horse cavalry, not to sup
plant it. He said:
"FOr some types Of distance
reconnaissance and for some
types of fighting, the mechan.
lied regiment is uneQualled. But
for tactical mobility, for putting
the greatest number Of men at
a given point on the field Of
combat, the horse cavalry can
not be beaten.
STUDY of actual warfare
shows that the hardest target
to hit is the mounted man. I'm
der airplane or machine gun at
tack a troop can scatter like a
flock of quail. And the troop
has greater fire power per man
than any other ground unit"
Cavalrymen at Fort Myer work
harder, perhaps, than any other
unit in The Army, for they are
kept constantly at work to make
them the best organization in the
service. From first call-at $3.50
a. m. at this time of year-until
recall at 4::3O they are on the go.
They ride and they shoot-and
every member of the regiment is
expected to be an expert with the
rifle, the pistol and the machine
gun. Moreover, they must learn
when and where to shoot. For

supply of ammunition.
The day of the cavalry charge
with flashing Sabers is ended.
The saber is no longer carried.
Instead each man is armed with
rifle and an automatic pistol,
and he must be proficient with
each weapon.

3 Who Died
Is Mystery

With a little less finesse but by
the same power Of deduction,
Judge Peck solves another mystery
a Ia Sherlock Holmes in "1hree
Who Died."
Judge Peck and DR.. Considine
return to their little village from
a fishing trip. In their absence
two of DR.. Considine's patients
have died. AS he is preparing for
a night cap with the Judge he is
called to the Allison house and
another dies. Soon afterward the
nurse on the last two cases is
taken i'll and the brother of one
Of the victims dies.
At first it looked to DR.. Consi-
dine like hard luck and maybe an
epidemic. To Judge Peck it looked
darned suspicious and he starts
his deductive facilities at work.
The solution is well worked out
and but one of three ways in
which tho answer to the riddle
might juatifiably be given.

Each cavalry regiment has six
of these scout cars, which are
nothing more than armored mo-
bile forts. The cars are COM
pletely encased in armor plate
which will stop an ordinary ma
chine gun or rifle bullet. They
carry radio transmitting equip
ment, and are armed with three
machine guns.
The primary mission of these
cars is reconnaissance, but they
can be sent against an enemy
where there are roads, and with
their heavy armament and speed
can hold up an enemy detachment
until reinforcements arrive, oy
opening fire, causing the enemy
to deploy, then dropping back and
repeating such tactics until the
arrival of reinforcementS.

Recalls Experiences

After the war the other forts
were abandoned. But Fort Myer
was retained as the Capital gar
rison, and ever since that time
it has been one of the most i'm
portant Army posts in the
country.
It is primarily a "horse" post
housing the Third Cavalry, less
one squadron, and the Sixteenth
Field Artillery, less one battalion
With the quartermaSter and med1'
cal Lifts and other necessary de-
tachments at the post. there are
now approximately 1850 men on
duty. Under the new increase in
strength authorized by Congress,
this will be increased to 1,4OO
men.
cavalry, in the opinion Of
Colonel Joyce, is "the greatest
potential fighting arm" the Army
has. And he bases this not only
on theory but on actual exper'
fence in the field, for he took
part in the Philippine Insured
ton and the last Indian cam
paign against the Utes nearly 80
years ago. Recalling those days
in the bad lands Of South Da-
kota, he said:
ut was winter, in November
Of 1906, when we left Fort
Meade with full winter packs,
under war conditions. There
were six troops Of cavalry. The
first day in the field we GOV.
cred 40 miles, The second Al.
The third day we made As
miles and the last day we made
As, and intercepted the Indians
on the Little Powder River.
1--WE made this forced march
with the loss of only one horse
and no men, and more, the
men arrived in perfect cOndi-
ton, proving the effective
mobility Of horse cavalry.
Mechanical cavalry will
never suppIant the horse. 1t is
true that mechanical cavalry
could have arrived at the Little
Powder in shorter time. But
what then? In such country
the men would have been help
less to proceed against the
Indians except on foot, where
as the horse cavalry could go
anywhere.
Mechanical cavalry has
great Strategical mobility, but
after arrival on the scene of
combat horse cavalry has much
greater tactical mobility.
"Of the IA cavalry regiments
In our Army. only one has been
mechanical, and th-t is still
in an experimental stage.

Naturally the post has its 50

Drill, Play
On Famed
Site
By CARROLL PEEKE

To Washingtonians, Fort
Myer is a delightful place to
visit, located as it is on the
rolling hills Of Virginia over
looking the Capital, with its
broad lawns, its immaculate
polo field, it's great drill hall
where thrilling demonstrations
Of Craftsmanship are staged.
But to Col. Kenyon Joyce, COM
mander Of the fort (Which is the
only major garrison near the
CapitaD and to his staff it is
much more than this. It is more
serious, more grim. For they con-
slider not the lighter side but the
practical.
To them, Fort Myer is a train"
ing center, a school with only one
purpose-that Of making more
efficient fighting men and fight
ing units.
Polo, the drills, the riding ex-
hibition, they regard as pretty
stuff" for only one purpose,
to make better horSemen, better
drilled men. men who in time
Of emergency impart this informa-
ton to new recruits.
Fort Myer dates back to the
Civil War, when the Federal Gov
eminent hastily threw up chain
Of forts around the Capital, all
on high ground, to beat off any
Confederate attack. The site OF
Fort Myer was part Of the estate
o. the great Southern leader,
General Lee, whose mansion still
stands in the adjoining Arlington
National Cemetery.
