THE WAR HORSE
Continued from pose four

From less than 1900 horses in cav
airy service two years ago, the total is
to be brought this year to 25, 700 -
and that does not include the draft
horses and mules being bought for
other branches of the service. The per-
sonnel of the cavalry is being increased
to 42,500, as compared to former
strength of 1850. Two full cavalry
divisions have been organized, as
compared to one previously, and the
strength of the division increased.
But numbers alone do not begin to
tell the story, for our new cavalry will
pack more fire power" than any cav
airy in the world. 1t has been COM
pletely revised and modernized. The
war horse has come back, but now he
is teamed up with every mechanical
ally that can help him do his job -
trucks, motorcycles, armored cars
and guns ranging from semiautomatc
pistols and rifles to antitank guns.
As a matter OF fact, the reorganzed
American cavalry has fewer horses in
proportion to the whole strength of
the force than it ever had before.
Each division has 5000 horses now,
instead of 5000. Two cavalry regi-
ments are still completely horse regl-
ments, but nine are combination regi-
ments, using both horses and mechan-
lied equipment - motorcycles and
armored cars. Some smaller units are
entirely mechanical - motorcycle
reconnaissance troops. This modern
cavalry uses hundreds of trailer trucks.
in which horses are transported over
the highways, then unloaded when
they reach the scene of action.
And when they get to scene of
action, at a speed much faster than an
infantry force could, they have almost
as much fire power as infantrymen
would. A cavalry division, for in
stance, is equipped with approximate
ly 4,600 seniautomatic pistols, 1,342
rifles. 1874 machine guns, 81 antitank
guns and % mortars. Fast pack horses
carry the heavier guns.

QUEER DUCKS, AREN'T WE?

IN HIS youth George Bernard Shaw
was painfully self-conscious and shy,
and would pace up and down in front
of friends house for fifteen or twenty
minutes before he had enough courage
to enter it. Z. Washington was always
pretty near the foot of the class in
spelling and grammar. :. Verdi,
Italian composer, was once rejected
at conservatory for want of musical
ability. =.
AT SCHOOL Charles Steinmetz had a
hard time learning the multiplication
tables. :. Thomas Jefferson was
failure as a public speaker. Cyrus
Mccormick turned out many queer
machine that failed to work, and con-
sequently made himself the laughing
stock of the community. When he
finally succeeded in making reaper
that would work, it was ten years
before he could get anyone to buy
one.

CAvALRY," General Herr says, will
work great deal in conjunction with
airplanes. as a team Roads in war
time will be mighty unhealthy places.
Vehicles and armored units must use
them. But we will specialize in going
across country over all terrain, in dis
persed formations. Thus we will offer
no profitable target for the airplane.
But we will operate. in attacks and
reconnaissance, in timing with our
own airplanes."
This job takes good horses, highly
trained horses. Our army has them.
During the World War, the Army
had to buy almost anything that
would pass for a horse. After the war,
it started a new system. 1t bought
several hundred stations - mostly
Thoroughbreds, along with few Nor
gans and other pure strains - and
put them in the hands of private
breeders. The breeder must choose
good mares with which to mate the
stations. For nearly twenty years, this
program has been continued with $50
stations now owned by the govern
ment and loaned out. The government
keeps no strings on the foals - but it
knows where to look when it needs
good horseflesh. And though the horse

nonchalance of cowboys.
1T takes about six months to train
the average horse and about the same
to train the average recruit" an officer
told me. "And when the men and
horses get so they can do these stunts
you're watching now, then they can
also do just about anything required
of them on field of action"
At the Army remount station at
Front Royal, Virginia, / watched a
new shipment of horses coming in.
Along a hoof-marked trail, like some
frontier path of old, they were herded
down the side of thickly wooded
mountain.
"If the world we're still like this
mountain trail," said to the officer
beside me, 1T would be easy to see
why an army still needs horses
The officer glanced at the rough,
steep countryside. There's plenty of
worse terrain than this" he said.
"And wars won't stay on paved high
ways. The Army still does need
horses"

W. I. u. Head Calls
Capital Worst City
For Young People
Drive for Public Opinion
Against Liquor Urged
By Mrs. Smith

Washington, with 5000 saloons, Is
the worst city in the world for young
persons to come to, Mrs. Ida B. Wise
Smith, national president Of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, told the 67th annual con-
vention of the District w. c. T. u
at the First Congregational Church
today.
THE country calling these young
people to service" she declared,
should not submit them to tempta-
tion which will make them UNIT for
service"
Thousands of young people have
come from homes and churches
where the influence was away from
liquor, Mrs. Smith said, to a city
where they must live under peculiar
circumstances and faced by a beer
sign on nearly every corner. She is
far more worried about civilian de-
fense workers in Washington than
those in industrial centers or In
camps.
Remedy Suggested.
AS a remedy, Mrs. Smith urged
the District members to 60 on Gre
ating a public opinion against the
use OF alcohol, with emphasis on its
character as a narcotic rather than
as stimulant. Letters should be
written, she said, commencing ma
tional magazines which do not pub
| lishliquor advertisements.
Be polite, she urged the group
and do not scold in letters. Stores
participating in celebrations OF wine
week should be boycotted, she con-
cluded.
The liquor traffic does more to
undermine the Constitution, accord
ing to Mrs. Smith, than Commun-
ism or any subversive force.
DIR. Anderson Extends Greetings.
DR.. Howard Stone Anderson, pas
tor of the church, extended greet
ings to the group this morning. He
was introduced by Mrs. Earle Will
fey. District president. Mrs. Pearl
Meadows reported on the work OF
the Youths Temperance Council and
Mrs. Iral B. Stout on the Loyal
Temperance Legion.
This afternoon department re-
ports were to be followed by a
motion picture shown by Mrs. E. c.
Pugh. Tomorrow Miss Elizabeth
Smart, national legislation director,
will address the group at 1890 am.
