HORSE HOLDING PLAGE IN ARMY
New Plans Call for Purchase Of 19,802 Animals in Cavalry Revision.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18 (U. P) —The Army’s horse-and-buggy days aren’t over yet, mechanized warfare |
notwithstanding. The War Department has completed plans for the most powerful | horse cavalry in history. ization of the cavalry service will be | announced within a few days, it was learned today. Army officials | say it will provide for the most striking revision in cavalry tech- | nique since Gen. John J. Pershing ordered his entire command to discard sabers and rely on gun-power | in the chase for Pancho Villa. The new plans call for purchase of 19,802 horses to augment the estimated 17,000 now in service. Most | of the new horses will be placed in National Guard cavalry groups. request for $3,366.340 for the new mounts is before Congress now. With the advent of mechanized | warfare in Europe last May, some | military quarters suggested that | Army horses were destined for the boneyard. But a more careful ap-| praisal of German army tactics has convinced experts that the horse still is a useful component of a modern army. Although the more spectacular | work in the lowlands and France | was developed by German mech- | anized forces, they were found to have used 800.000 horses for transport work, in addition to 18,000 cavalry. One of the first German contingents to march into Paris was | horse-drawn heavy artillery Army officials are convinced that | the horse is irreplacable in many | parts of the United States where | highway systems are underdeveloped. Another factor is the likeli- | hood that the Army may be called into hemisphere defense. Horses |* would prove sections of Latin America where paved roads are largely non-exist- | ant.
