The story of this cavalry - and of the
important part it will play in our national
defense - is of vital interest to every Ameri-
can.
For years, Major General John X. Herr,
tall, loose e-jointed, hard-riding Chief Of Cav
airy, had been arguing the importance of cav
airy to Congressional committees and to his
fellow officers in the War Department. Mostly
they smiled Great fellow, Herr" they said.
Loves horses. Knows 'em, too But of course,
horses we'll -.
1t was the Spanish Civil War that started
students of military tactics wondering if they
hadn't been bit hasty in relegating the war
horse to mere parade use. That war, they dis
covered, was not following the pattern OF the
first World War. 1t did not settle down into
trenches where horses were about as useful as
elephants in a parlor. 1t was a war of move
ment - and most OF the movement was over
rough, mountainous country where mechan-
lied equipment was forever getting blocked.
General Franco, though he had to weigh every
expenditure with utmost care, increased his
mounted troops from five to more than fifty
squadrons. And he won the war.
Still, that was only Spain. When Germany
swept through Poland, the I-told-you-so
crowd had field day. Wasn't Poland depend
ing on cavalry? And wasn't Germany the
arch-apostle of mechanization? And when
Germany went on to hammer France into
submission, the victory of machine warfare
seemed complete Then military information
as to what had really happened began to sift
back. The vaunted Germans. our military
men learned. far from depending entirely on
tanks and airplanes, had used an incredible
number of horses - in Poland, Flanders and
France Indeed, the first troops that marched
into conquered Paris - much to the surprise
of popuace expecting mechanical army
- we're mounted on horses
Evening star., 1941-01-26
Cavalry TO the Rescue

Vii, YES the Germans used meChanized
forces But . well, in Poland one day, one
of those long columns of German Panzer
trailers stalled in the mud A band of Poles
spotted them, began peppering them with
bullets. 1t looked like easy prey, because the
man power in one of those mechanical col
umns on the march is so spread out. But the
Germans had cavalry in the rear. Back went
the word of the attack. Within few minutes
German horsemen had galloped up, left their
horses in cover and were driving off the Poles
with carbines and machine guns.
That was just one of many similar episodes
that seeped through the censorship. And
gradually the picture became clear While
France and Great Britain had been syste-
matically eliminating their mounted squad
rons - feverishly anxious to put themselves
Evening star., 1941-01-26
Military experts said the Cavalry was dead.
In this new age what chance what job
there for a man on horse? Meet the new
United States Cavalry. You'll be surprised
by Arthur Bartlett

Army knows where to find them. The Army
is training horsemen by thousands, too. Before
1941 is over the strength of the cavalry will
have been more than triped.
A new United States Cavalry is on the
march.
have visited training camps and remount
stations | have talked to officers in high COM
mand. have seen the new cavalry in action.
1t is far cry from the saber-charging squad
rons of other days. The horses and men are
still there, but everything else about it has
changed. The cavalry has been reorganized,
modernized and mechanical.
Evening star., 1941-01-26
"HE cavalry is coming back.

III HE cavalry is coming back.
Machines, after all, aren't enough.
- That has been the lesson of the wars
abroad. Airplanes, tanks, armored cars,
motorcycles, mechanized gadgets are vital,
But the war horse can still do things that no
machine can do. Many of our highest mill
tary authorities have been rather surprised
to find that out. But they know it now. And
the cavalry, long the neglected child of the
Army, is its Cinderella of today.
All over the country, picked young horses
are being assembled for Uncle Sans army.
The Army used to buy about 1000 horses
year. This years program calls for $1,000.
Evening star., 1941-01-26
Tanks Were Useless

NlOST military authorities are agreed now
that if the British had had mounted troops
in Norway, the story of the German invasion
there might have been quite different Prac-
tically all the roads in Norway are in long,
narrow valleys Separating these valleys are
long, high ridges steep wooded hillsides and
mountains No motorized vehicles - not even
tanks - can move into these hills. They are
natural fortreSses against meChanized opera
tons. But horsemen - if the British hadn't
put almost all their horsemen behind steering
wheels - could have moved over this terri
tory with speed and safety, attacking the
flanks of the invading truck transport col
umns, keeping hidden from airplane bombers.
Instead, they had to try to stop the invaders
solely by head-on collisions in the valleys,
and they were bombed and beaten back mer-
cilessly.
Just how the Greeks have employed cav
airy in their mountain war with Italy is as yet
not clear. But General Metaxas is an old
cavalry officer, and our Army leaders take
it for granted that cavalry tactics have played
a big part in the Greek successes against
fascist troops.
America, of course, has great system of
highways, and vast areas of level or rolling
land where mechanical forces could operate
perfectly But in the mountainous country of
the East and West, horses still can carry
soldiers where no machine could take them.
And as yet there are no roads connecting the
United States with Alaska
These are things which General Herr has
been pointing out for years. The General is
no mossback He doesn't for a minute deny
the Importance of airplanes and tanks and
armored cars. But, as he told me the other
day, Horses can still take men over ground
where nothing else can take them = and take
them lot faster than they could go on foot.
And in a fight, the fellow who can get around
fast, and keep the other fellow confused as to
where he is, has better chance than the one
who has to stay put.
That was what the Germans proved, and
when the facts reached this country, the
American war horse got his new lease on life.

on an even footing with Germany by mechan-
izing their armies - the German generals
had made sure that their own trend toward
armored motors never went so far as to elimi-
nate the horse They had trained their soldiers
as horsemen, as we'll as aviators and mechan-
les. And during the first year of hostility they
actually used nearly 100000 horses - used
them not as the Poles did poorly armed and
inadequately supported, but as integrated
parts of an army that was prepared for any
sort of fighting on any sort of terrain.

Lack kOf Music

ToHa1t Dance
Supper Clubbers
Use Makeshift
'Orchestra'

The failure Of the orchestra en-
gagged to appear at the Friday Eve
ming Supper Club last evening
which might have spoiled the
dance had the opposite effect and
members enjoyed the party more
than any other. Between $50 and
200 members and guests gathered at
the accustomed hour of II or there
shouts and heard no music.
After scurrying around by tele-
phone a piano accompanist and a
singer were obtained from q hotel
and a night club and one Of the
members of the supper club sup
piled the drum by means Of two
chairs and two serving spoons. And
thus the dancing got under way
about midnight. BY l o'clock or q
little after Sidney-popular leader
Of dance orchestras-had coralled q
12-piece orchestra, some in. blue
jackets from night club, some in
tails" and white ties and a few
others in dinner coats and black
ties.
One of the difficulties of finding
musicians at liberty last evening was
caused by the complete exhaustion
of many of them after the Presi-
dents Birthday Balls Of the night
before. So, although the last Of this
series Of dances for the Friday Eve
ming Supper Club was late in get
ting started, 1t was the gayest and
hveliest of parties.

Of the club, was hostess at dinner be-

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

The common goldfish is unques-
tionably the ancestor Of today's
fancy goldfish. This transforma-
ton has taken about a thousand
years, plus patience, courage and
determination by Oriental fish
breeders who have developed the
many beautiful, fancy goldfish
for us.
Breeding common and fancy
goldfish is a hobby that has grown
rapidly In the last IS years. 1t Is
fascinating, diverting, instructive
and often profitable. There is,
however, always an element Of un-
certainty, because goldfshes, per-
haps more than other creatures,
inherit their characteristics from
their ancestors. You may have
about 10 per cent of fancy fish true
to type, while the remainder have
some marks OF a remote common
ancestor and some Of more recent
ones.
Goldfshes deposit their eggs by
choice on floating water plants
When 1t is possible to furnish them
with water hyacinths-those with
the largest roots-and punches OF
myriophyllum, you will find the fe-
males apparently pleased by your
thoughtfulness. Be sure that the
plants are absolutely free from enc
mics, snails or any foes to fish eggs.
The female goldfish swims over
these plants very slowly, dropping
her golden eggs. AS they fall, the
male passes over them and fastens
them to whatever they touch.
The eggs are about one-sixteenth
of an inch in diameter and pale yel-
low. becoming almost invisible by
the third day. The infertile eggs
turn white the second day and a
little later are but a cluster OF fun
gus. Out of 500 to 1000 eggs laid
by the mother, a surprising number
matches. Some buxom mothers lay
as many as 5000 eggs their first sea-
son, ferew each year later. The
egg-covered plants should be re-
moved to larger receptacle If pos
sible, as spawners are likely to eat
the eggs, and baby goldfishes should
not be In the same bowl with older
fish.
A newly Matched goldfish Is known
