' Thnt ninny marine plants cause sea

it may be said thnt this consists In Im

CAVALRY PLAYS
A BIG PART NOW
General Foch Used French Horse
men to Advantage in
Big Drive.
PROVE GOOD FIGHTERS AFOOT
Rides 80 Miles In Day and Relieves
Hard-Pressed British In Flanders
Makes New Place for
Self In Warfare.
Washington. Skillful use of French
cavalry has marked General Foch's
tactics ever since he took over control
of the nlllcd armies as supreme com
mander, uccordlng to Information
reaching mllltury circles here. The
horsemen hnve played an Important
role in the whole battle of 1018, as
the struggle which began March 21
with the first German drive has come
to be known.
The employment of swift-moving
columns In the present counter-stroke
from the Alsne-Mnrno line has been
noted In the dispatches. Again Gen
eral Foch took advantage of the groat
mobility of the mounted arm to throw
It In wherever his advancing Infantry
units threatened to lose touch with
ench other In the heat and confusion
of tho contest. No gaps have been left
where the enemy might strike back,
for always the horsemen came up to
fill the hole until the lnfnntry line
could be rectified and connected In a
solid front.
The same tactics marked the first
use of French cavalry In the battle of
Plcardy, when the French took over
05 miles of front from the British
to permit the latter to mnss reserves
at seriously threatened points of the
lino farther north.
Cavalry Fights Afoot.
, A French cavnlry corps complete
with light artillery, armored cars and
cyclists arrived first on tho scene In
Plcardy and relieved the British. They
fought It out afoot until the henvy
French Infantry arrived and took over
the task.
Three days later the horsemen were
on tho move again, this, time hurrying
to the front, where the enemy was
hitting hard at the Lys line. The cav
alry rode hard as the advance guard
of the French Infantry columns march
ed toward St. Omar. In the first
24 hours, despite the long strain
of fighting In Plcardy, they covered
80 miles without losing n man or a
horse on the way. In CO hours they
had transferred their whole corps over
125 miles and arrived east of Mont
Cqscl.
"It was a wonderful sight," writes
tho chief of staff of a division. "The
horses were In fine condition ; the men
were cheerful and went singing, In spite
of the sufferings and prlvntlons they
hadto endure.
"In truth, our boys looked a little
tired, but they were nll yery proud
that such an effort had been asked
of them and all were benrlng It cheer
fully." "n ' '
.The cavalry corp stood In support
oftTTo British for ten days in April
nfter the enemy had forced the line"
held by the Portuguese, dvisjpn. It '
maintained communication between
two British armies and organized tho
ground from Mont Casscl to Mont
Kemmcl, while tho French army
moved up behind It. As the French
Infantry came Into line tho cnvalry was
drawn off to the left In tho
Mont Kemmcl region, and for five days
tho horsemen, fifhtlng afoot 'with two
Infantry divisions, withstood tho ter
rific assaults of the Germans who
nought to hammer a way through be
hind Ypres nt any cost.
They stood steady bombardment for
days, and when tho Infantry wns hem
med in on top of Mont Kemmcl,
the cavalry drove forward In counter
attack and hold off the shock divisions
of the enemy while the French gun
ners got fhelr pieces nwny.
Later, nt the battle of Locre, the
cavalry also shared fully with tho In
fantry, blocking gaps In the line, and
the final definite occupation of tho
town for the allies was accomplished
by a cavalry battalion. A sergeant
and a handful of dragoons drove 40
Germans out of the town, and at an
other point a cavalry officer and 20

Washington. The most dangerous
kind of poison gas used by the Ger
mans Is "mustard gas," or dichloro
dk'thysulphldp. Mustard gas has a distinctive but
not altogether unpleasant smoll, more
like garlic than musturd. It Is henvy
and oily as n liquid. It bolls at 217 de
grees centigrade, and thus bus proper
ties whereby It can be distributed In
tlrp form of n spray on tho Impnct of n

Defend Compelgne. (
A few days later the same cnvnlry,
nfter another long ride, met tho en
emy advance against VUlcrs-Cotterots
woods In tho Alsno sector, whero tho
fighting today is waging fiercely, and
where the horsemen ugnln nro en

forest to Compelgne, tho horsemen
blocked the road between tho wooded
region and the IMver Ourcq.
In view of this record for swift and

DEFECTS
DEATH IN FLYING
Tow York. Considerable concern
hns been expressed at tho largo num
ber of fatal accidents reported from
pur American military and naval avia
tion training camps. Considering tho
risks the novice nccessnrlly takes nnd
the very special physiological and psy
chological factors thnt enter Into tho
science of flying, these fatal accidents
are few In proportion to the number
of men undergoing training, and they
ure not more numerous than thoso on
the training fields of Great Britain,
Franco hnd Italy.
A perfect knowledge of all tho rules
of tbe game of flying will not savo a
man who lacks confidence In himself
and Is Inclined to hesitate. A half
second of Indecision may be fatal. In
itiative, the sporting Instinct and a
certain Irresponsibility, qunlltles In
herent In American youth, have been
found of far greater value In the air
than tho logical, scientific, severely
disciplined character of tho Germans,
nnd nccount for the superiority of tho
allied aviators in general.
The most eminent of British scien
tists have devoted special study to tho
psychological and physiological as
pects of flying.
One authority says that good eye
sight, normal hearing, good "muscle
sense" and equilibration nre Indispen
sable qualifications. But most Impor
tant of all is the right temperament
not an easy thing for n medical board
to examine. Of the types tho Imagi
native nnd tho uuimnglnntlve the
Imaginative youth Is said to make tho
better pilot If he can keep his Imagi
nation under control.
Surgical Operations No Bar.
In tho British air service previous
history 6f wounds nnd dlsense Is thor
oughly Investigated. Persistent head
aches, vertigo nnd easily Induced fn
tlgue are serious defects. But some
times even u serious surgical opera
tion Is not regarded 03s Important.
Thus a doctor recently passed as fit
for flying n man who hnd quite a large

blistering of the skin, nnd the vupor
penetrates through the clothing. Gns
masks, of course, do not protect
against this. The symptoms arc similar
to pneumonia lilgh fever, heavy
breathing and often stupor.
The datungo done by mustnrd gas Is
a slow and Insidious development. The
brouklng down of tho affected tissues
Is slow, tho height being reached from
live to ten days after the burn Is re
ceived. Tho painlessness' Is nlso n

slow.

of the skull. It Is much ruoro Impor
tant that a man should have both
arms Intact tlmn both legs. A clover
pilot who was killed on tho western
front wns Lord Lucns, who had an
artificial leg.
Considerable Importance Is attached
to tho respiratory Bystem. In addition
to good, heultby lungs nnd vital capac
ity, tho would-be pilot must pass n
breath-holding test This gives un In
dication of his capacity to etand tho
strain of flying nt high altitudes,
where the nlr Is rarefied and breath
ing is difficult. No man with a weak,
heart can hope to pass the tests.
Self-balancing Is another tost. Tho
cnndldnte bus to stand on ono leg with
his eyes shut nnd his hands on his
hips. Thero is also the old test for
sobriety walking n straight lino heel
to toe wltli eyes open nnd then turn
ing round and walking bnck without
losing balance. Tho Importance of
this test can bo understood, seeing
that nn aviator flying in a dark cloud
or In a fog becomes unconscious of his
position and sometimes the machine
Is actually upside down. It Is ossen
tinl that he should not lose a second
in recovering Ids balance.
The throat, noso nnd car nro care
fully examined, for any defects might
seriously handlcnp n man during the
grent strain that all flying imposes.
With regard to the eyes, it is consid
ered that pilots should have perfect
color vision, In order to pick out tho
color or marking of hostile machines,
and in recognizing signal lights and In
judging the nature of landing grounds.
