U. S. CAVALRY CUT OVER HALF IN PASTDECADE America’s 20,000 in 1920 Is Now 7,974; Stationed on Border. Bit United Prt ’** WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—Those gallant armed horsemen who are pictured to romantically In the nation’s history are growing fewer year by year, the annual report of MajorGeneral Guy V. Henry, chief of the army cavalry, revealed today. Whereas America’s cavalry strength In 1920 was 20,000 enlisted men, the present actual recruiting strength is only 7,974, the report said. This represents a reduction of 58 per cent in a decade. Most of the army’s cavalry now is stationed in the mid-west and on the Mexican border, where, Henry said, It is being maintained in a “very high state of efficiency.” Training in riding and improved care of animals have shown results in a number of marches where a rate of seven miles per hour has been maintained for forty miles. Meanwhile, steeds of steel are coming to reinforce horses in modern cavalry organizations. During the last fiscal year the War department has approved expenditure of $20,000 for experiments to • find a satisfactory type of armored car for the cavalry. All of the cars carry machine guns, or machine rifles for use against aircraft in addition to their principal batteries. GREEKS USED STEAM HEAT IN 500 B. C.
