Proposition lo Utilize Them as Raiders Carrying Special .Magazine Rifle;; Capable of Rapid Firing. Prom ttio Philadelphia Press The League of American Wheelmen comes to the fiont as an Important factor In a war of the future. The secretary of war has received word fiom chief consul of the Indiana divi sion, League of American Wheelmen, Wallace Sherwood, that the latter Is ready to raise five companies of wheel men, each company to be composed of fifty men, who will be thorougnly drill ed In bicycle tactics and be willing to go to any part of the country that is threatened by an enemy, or If neces sary to go abroad to fight Following the olfer of Wallace Sher wood have come similar offers from various parts of the country. The gnat army of wheelmen seem bilm ful of eagerness to turn their bicycles to use in defending the flag All tho olfem have been picej on Hie in tho war ofllce. their number showing that In case of war the government would have an ample force of this new type of modern auxiliary on hand. The usefulness of the cyclist soldier has been admitted by all military au thorities Experiments made with troops of bicycle-mounted Infantry In this country have shon that an nrmy will not be properly equipped without a corps of wheelmen to act as scouts, to form living squadrons and to peifonn many Important duties previously dons by cavahy. RAPID PROGRESS. In order to thoroughly test tho qucs tlup of tho cycle's usefulness In war times, Lleutenunt Moss, of the United States army, made a tour through the West with a corps of men, nnd his re port to tho war department showed conclusively that the cyclist, unhamp ered by tho necessaries of a cavalry leginient, could make astonishingly rapid progress through a countiy where roads were In fairly good condi tion. An attache of the United States wnr department has Just piepared and sub mitted to the Washington oltlials a statement showing the fig'itln effect iveness of a force of cyclists t quipped with the special guns mede foi use by the wheeling division of n modern ui my It Is shown that the o-dlnnry bicy clist with a magazine rifle stsapped to his wheel ready for actbm instantly makos a valuable man fo. puck woik in war, while the lire of a bquad of these cycle soldleis supplemented by that from inpld fire guns that can be transported on tricycles Is a fonuld able factor In a fight The lapld-fire gun favored Is ono combining the features of the Maxim and Noidenfeldt weapon It Is capable of being mounted on the lenr of a til i ycle between the two wheels, and can be transported with very little addi tional effor on the rider's part, ns Its weight Is light. The rapId-fiie guns would be stationed at Intervals along the line of dismounted bicyclists, the tricycles serving as gun-tart lages The rider will dismount and kneeling, fit e the gun at the rate of 1,000 shots In two minutes. It requires no effort of the Imagination to see what n terrlbl lire could be maintained by a troop of cyclists armed with magazine rifles and a number of these inpld-flre guns. A NOVEL SUGGESTION. Tho gun has an automatic feeding ar rangement. The cartildge.s are thrown Into a hopper and the action of the gun when fired thruBts them Into the bar rel. Two men can keep the gun going as long as tho ammunition holds out, one man firing, the other loading tho magazine. It Is n phase of modern war that has never been tiled In action, and, like a good many more of the new Ideas In fighting, may prove when tried In earn est, to have many drawbacks that have been overlooked. It Is not thought, however, that these can offset the numerous advantages that tho cyclist soldier will have over the cavalryman. If the latter's horse is killed, he runs the risk of capture. If the cycle sol dler's wheel Is smashed ho runs the same risk, but the bicycle stands less chanco of being disabled than tho horse, for It piesents a very small mark for a bullet, nnd, laid flat on tho ground, Is nlmost safe from being hit The cyclist can make better time on a good road than a horse, and can keep up the puce longer. In rough country, where the wheel could not travel, tho horso would again have the advantage. The bicycle needs no provender and Is not likely to collapse when roughly used bo as to bo beyond hope of repair. Tho bicycle Is almost noiseless. Through the dark roads a squad of wheelmen can steal like phantoms and perforin duties that a noisy cavalry troop could never attempt. It seems probable, therefore, that tho bicycle contingent will play a most Im portant part In a future war, and the offers of tho patriotic wheelmen of tho country to enroll themselves Into com panies hns naturally been received with satisfaction by thu War department.
