Glamorous U. S. Cavalry : Loses to Machinization * * * * * * Tank “Combat Cai's” to Eliminate 8,000 Horses; Modern War Machines Take Romance Out of Army; Heroes Will Be at Premium. W : - 3 1 3 Christie S h -ML Tai::-; 1 I Action ■ r — —— I jLf ' <4L *■ C.0.A1 . 4 Soon to be a Memory ‘

Washington, May 15 —With ’.he! announcement by Major Genera! Douglas MacArthur that tanks of "combat cars" equipped with machine guns and small cannon would take place of cavalry, and ’hat alt of the 8.000 horses trow in service will be retired with the honors of war, the inexorable march of progress writes finis to one of the most tolorful and romantic phases in the art of Mars. Ever since a fleet of rattling taxicabs wheezed and groaned their way out of Paris, in 1914, and went o meet and cut to ribbons the cream of the German cavalry, the eventual abolition of the horses as an arm of war has been assured. The Great War proved, was as ob-. solete as the bow and arrow, and , since the cessation of hostilities the master minds have been planfi nrg and advising an arm to take its place. ROMANCE. COLOR TO GO. No more shall posterity read with pulsing pride the gallant charges on ■orlorn hopes, of the thunder of hoofs, the creak of saddles and the jingle of sabres. The martial men of the future will go forth to war in oily overalls to the accompanying of grinding gears and the ktinies of gasoline. Simultaneously with General Mac Arthur’s announcement the War Department asked bids on seven ! onvertible tanks of’ the Christie [type recently tested with great suc- ! cCss They must weigh no more than 15 tons a.'.d must make 40 miles an hour on hard roads. Their fighting equipment will be a machine gun land a 37-millime.'er cannon each i and the estimated cost will be $71),060 per car fully equipped. A;my officers hail the machinization program as the most advanced move toward the modernization of U. S. forces sincts the Mofrow Board charted a definite airplane program. As an example of efu(ic.ncy of motoiized units, they pa.nt out "hat the 300 Mile inarch ifom Fort Eustis in Virginia to Fort Bragg in North Carolina can be made tn tw6 days by (rucks as lagafrrst twenty-five horses.

[ eracted the horors of war and gave 'the touch of romance that stirred the blood, instilling the dash of recklessness that made the good sdldier. If Paul Revere had made his famous ride on a motor cycle j the episode would now be in the j limbo of forgotten things, or' had , Sheridan took that trip to Winches- 1 ter in a flivver, who'd have ever ; heard about it? Would the spectacle of Teddy Roosevelt riding up San Juan Hill in a Packard cause the pulse to .cat any luster? The answer to those questions ij very probably in the negative, therefore, posterity is going to be in a bad way for heroes. A man cannot shine in battle if he is going i to be cooped up in an iron box. But maybe progress will advance to a point where wars can be fought j without even men. Already we have robots that can smoke tel! the time .use a telephone and a thousand and one things so ' why not abolish the human soldier? The idea has advantages. Robots ! leave no widows, nor would they miss a leg or arm and all their hui‘s could be fixed with a monkey wrench. Verily it is a great idea. ’ . I Kansas U.
