cient not only as a scouting force but also in attacking. It has often broken through the Loyalist Hanks and has prevented retreating units from reforming their lines.
 Japanese officers now are la menting the lack of adequate cav airy for effective flanking move ments and quick follow-ups of drives against the Chinese. On the ether hand, Chinese guerillas have found their Mongolian ponies ex- tremely useful in making sudden raids on Japanese outposts, followed by quick retreats to the hills CT other cover.
 The machine gun was expected to doom horse movement on the battle field. It has greatly retarded cavalry and infantry advances, but there have been instances where machine gunners in defensive po- sitions have been overwhelmed by surprise mounted attacks.
 Says General Mann Craig, chief of staff, U. s. army: American cavalry is not only a scouting force, but it is a powerful combat arm. It offers a larger target but moves faster than the infantry. Its purpose is to advance men with rifles and machine guns. In ad- vancing them it can take advar- tage of the cover of woods, ravines and draws much more easily than any motor vehicle
 On a good road. the infantry marches at a rate of 2l2 miles an hour; off the highway it's pace is cut down to 11a miles an hour. Cavalry can trot an average of 8 miles an hour; gallop easily at l2 miles an hour.
 Turning The Tide
 Military statisticians say that during the World War large units of cavalry could march 75 miles and arrive on the battle field ready for combat faster than large units of infantry which, on short notice,

 In that war the cavalry turned the tide on numerous crucial oc- casions. During the race to the sea, 10 French and three British cavalry division fought and marched continuously to stop the Germans who used 10 cavalry divi- sions to extend their Hanks.

Planes Are Fine, Machine Guns Are Excellent
 But Horses Required
By ALEXANDER GEORGE AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON. - The machlne age enthusiasts have been predict ing that the airplane, the machine gun, the tank and gas will drive the army horse to the military bone yard.
 But just suggest to the arms ex- perts that the cavalry is on it's last legs and you'll get polite horse laugh. And 22,0OO horses and mules in the streamlined U. s. army of 165,OOO men will join in the de- risive chorus.
 The experts say that as long as there is movement in war and getting there fustest with the mostest" is what counts, the su- perior mobility of cavalry to other ground forces in rough country will remain indispensable.
 They back up this contention with lessons of the value of cav- airy in the current Spanish and Sino-Japanese conflicts as well as i. the World War.
 Roads Not Necessary
 Marshal Foch, supre ne com mander of the Allied troops which defeated the German army on the western front, said: 'The next war will begin as the last war ended with movement"
 Men and munitions can De brought into battle action very rapidly with motor cars if net works of good roads are available. But off the paved highways, there are woods, hills, streams, ravines and swamps to oppose the progress of motor vehicles. And then the horse comes in mighty handy!
 The airplane, of course, has greatly expanded the range and increased the speed of scouting troop movements. Yet when visi- bility is bad the cavalry comes to the rescue. Said General Won Seeckt, late commander-in-chief of the German army:
 'The aviator has come to aid not to replace-the cavalryman. Close reconnaissance is left to the cavalryman whose vision is not dimmed by clouded skies

nUESTION: Why does a coach " use the same offense from year to year?
 Answer: It is unwise to change the offense from year to year, as experience develops confidence and execution. The execution is more important than design, pro- viding fair judgment is used. Att tributes for a winning team are morale, poise and determination, and confidence supplies the first two to a large extent.

She went out of the room suddenly
before Denise answered her.
With rage and indignation strug,
Cling in her (and a kind of wry amuse
ment too, for the position was so pre-
cisely that of the girl in the cinema). !.
Denise sat quiet a long minute. What
she would do, she did not know, ex-
cept that she would not pretend to
Gilbert Windon that she loved him
and further Felicia's preposterous
notions!
There was a small sound at the
door, and she turned. Her mother
came into the room, a small slight
person rather like Dresden figurine
in pale colors.
Automatically Denise smiled at her.
Both Sara Rendale's tall daughters
adored her, who was not either mod
ern mother nor an oldfashioned one,
but had kind of timeless quality of
gentleness and serenity. One of those
women who have always been shell
tered and cherished, so that they are
enabled to feel that the world is an
orderly place.
Yet, Sara was a resolute small
iperson. She had taken the immi-
nence of her husbands bankruptcy
with extreme fortitude. So Denise
was the more surprised now to see
that she had been weeping.
She said, in her quiet voice: "MyI
dear child, the most lovely thing has
happened. That nice young man. Gil
bert Windon has lent your father all
the money that's necessary immediate
ly. Your father just telephoned me.
Mr.. Windon told him that it was of no
and he was glad to do it!
He's downstairs now-your father told
him to come and reassure me-We
must ask him to stay for dinner" She
spoke all in a breath.
For horrible instant Denise won
dered whether her mother too thought
of Gilbert Windon as a permanent
for all their troubles. Then
looking at that innocent pleased face,
she was ashamed of herself for the

for a long walk this afternoon, and
Pm tired, Mother" She determined
that she would not add to her moth
er's troubles.
She was conscious that her moth
er was still hesitating, wanting to
help her, no doubt, but there was no
help for an ache in the heart, except
time, supposedly.
Denise said, "i'll dress before I go
down to see Mr.. Windon, and thank
him." and fled.
In the drawing room downstairs
Gilbert Windon had been waiting
alone a rather long time, for which
he was grateful, since it gave him
time to consider precisely what he
meant to say.
This tall man whom Felicia con-
sidered such an admirable solution
for her sisters life, was, if one stop
ped to look at him carefully, not un-
like KeKith Sheldie in appearance in a
much stronger and considerably less
handsome version. That is to say,
he was brown-haired and 'tan-skin-
ned and had pleasant features.
But Keith was in his middle-twen-
ties. Gilbert was thirty-five, and had
worked hard most of his adult life.
Also, he had about him a look that
explained Felicia's "Westerners!" Not
that the hat which Townes had taken
was a "five-gallon" hat, or that his
suit was any less we'll tailored than
one of Keith's; but there was quail
ity in his appearance as of one whose
exercise had not been obtained play
ing games, but working outdoors.
That was so. His grandfather had
made large fortune in mining and
timber in western Canada. His faith
er greatly increased and consolidated
that fortune. He himself would con-
tinue to increase it, in the much more
modest fashion of his period. But
his interests were sufficiently stable
to permit him, as they had never per-
mitted his father or grandfather, to
take time off occasionally.
He had been East a great many

suspicion.
Her mother said: "Denise, 1 wept
with relief. Your father would have
minded so, though I told him over
and over that bankruptcy was not
disgrace!"
Denise had a sudden moment of
illumination. Both her father and
mother must have been desperately
frightened, on the verge of having
all the things to which they were ac-
customed taken away. Yet neither
had shown it, but pursued their
ways only little more quietly than
usual. They had dignity! For the
first time in her life she wondered
how much they had had to live thru
before they could achieve that quality
nothing could impinge upon.
Undignified she had been, to show
her hurt heart to Keith Sheldie; un-
dignified Felicia was, to want her to
snatch at young man with a great
fortune. Was it the difference be-
tween generations? That in her par
ent's time the pace of things was
slower, so that they were able to con-
slider implications of conduct, and not
behave unthinkingly. The sense Of
immediacy was so strong with her
self, with Felicia, with almost every
young person she knew. There was
kind of code: "Get what you want
now, or never. There's no reward fol
doing without"
Well, she was not to have what she
wanted, what else was there?
From that extreme confusion o1
thought, she emerged to notice that

Why should his thoughts suddenly be
full of his dead tutor, and his boy
hood when the Northwest had seemed
the most glamorous place on earth
and he thought himself a kind OF
crown prince to an important dy-
nasty?
He knew why: because, being per-
fectly confident in himself, he feared
nothing of the judgment of all the
people he knew, except the judgment
of slender blue-eyed girl who might
think him alien to her!
He had never regretted the sud-
den moment when he had told Felicia.
He simply had to tell some one, while
he watched Denise turn to that worth
less young Keith Sheldie with her eyes
shining, and turn to him always with
her eyes far off. And Felicia had
said eDnise would never marry Keith,
that it was just "boy-and-girl nom
sense. Denise will outgrow him in
a season."
1t was in the summer in the coun-
try that Felicia had said that. He
was not sure about it. That nuances
of life by Long Island Sound were so
far removed from the simplicities by
Queen Charlotte's Sound.
Still, he had waited, travelling West
on hurried trip, and worrying all
the way lest Denise's engagement to
Keith be announced while he was gone
and travelling East again, wishing she
would seem glad to see him! Which

cepted her invitation to dinner, she
excused herself, saying: Denise will
be down in a moment or two to enter
tain you while dress. She went for
a long walk and came home rather
tired. 1 expect she's resting a bit
before dinner"
His heart began to thump. On a
long walk, no doubt, with that Young
man of whom she was fond. And
something had happened between
them that Felicia knew. That some
thing might increase his chance.
He had met the Keith Sheldies of
the world, East and West, in Europe
and America. Well-dressed, well-man-
nered, inconsequential. But not in

she had not, but had seemed just
polite as usual.
He was glad Felicia had asked him
to help in her fathers afafirs. He
liked Michael Rendale, who seemed
to him something like his own father
but without his fire. Besides, though
he didn't want Denise to feel he must
be grateful, it seemed somehow tc
bring them closer-that he'd beer
able to help.
And now he was determined to
speak to her at last, because it seemed
to him that she and all her family
needed being taken care of-except
Felicia, who, he appreciated, was the
sort that could always take care of
herself.
That determination had been with
him all day, and had not been af-
fected at all, because it was so strong
anyway, by the fact that Felicia,
swatched in silver foxes, put her head
in the drawing-room door and said:

times before, at thirty-five, he de-
cided he would like to spend a good
part of his life there. That happen
ed at the precise moment when at the
house of his Eastern representative
he first talked to Denise Rendale, and
she looked at him kindly, if very re-
motely. Her married sister Felicia
Dayne was much easier to talk to, he
discovered. He wouldn't like his wife
to be quite as amiable!
For that thought, he occasionally
reproached himself as provincial. Be-
ing provincial had worried him occas-
ionally in his life, especially in Lon
don, where they called it Colonial"
with an odd infection. He had regret
ted that his fathers plan to send him
to Oxford had never been carried out.
The war had prevented. He had
served, absurdly young, with the Ca
nadians; and had come back to find
his father busy as ever, but grown
very old, almost feeble. He refused
to consider leaving him again.
So his only education was at the
hands of the English tutor who had
accompanied his father and himself
about on their journeys through Brit
ish Columbia and Alberta, east to
Saskatchewan, north to the Yukon.
The tutor taught him the classics
well, taught him French with bad
British accent, and English literal ure
superbly. Curious man, that earnest
young tutor, with his determination
plain never to show surprise at the
width of the open spaces. He left
them shortly after the war started
and died in his first month at the
front. -->--~---.--.--.--,----ss-,
