There are still some uncertainties, which keep : t-.e soldiers guessing as to the future. The fact that no horses have been dis tributed to the cavalry division is caus ing much gossip. The members of the Governor's Troop, of Harrisburg, and other troopers, are wondering what it all means. Horses were promised sev eral weeks ago. Preparations were j made to start mounted drills but no horses arrived. There are several hun dred horses in quarantine, and the only announcement made, is that as soon as acclimated these horses will be distri buted to the troopers. From C. Hugh Blair Camp Stewart. Fort Bliss. Tex. Rattlesnakes are now occuping the attention of the members of the Gov ernor's Troop of cavalry from Har risburg. The rattlers have completed the process of shedding their skins and are beginning to become quite active. Almost nightly the men from Har risburg organize snake-hunting parties and go scouring the mountain sides in the hope of finding some of the reptiles. Last evening a party headed by Cook Horace Oves secured two large snakes which were brought to camp alive. The snakes -were ordered killed by First Sergeant Charles Kline and to-day the pelts of the reptiles are hanging in the sun being tanned. They will be used for hat bands by the men. Private Harry Solomon has been transferred from Troop C to the head quarters troop, where he has been i made a corporal. The neadquarters 'troop will have charge of the supplies and equipment of the men of the en tire regiment and Solomon's transfer comes as a promotion. Mimic warfare has been started by the cavalry regiment, and daily the troops are put through long drills in which each man carries complete equipment including tents and blan kets. The men are given rations which they must cook for themselves while in the field. This is something new to the men and they are en thusiastic over It. Within a short time the men ■will aro out for maneuvers which will oc- I cupy a week or more at a time. During \ these periods, all the duties of actual | warfare will be carried out by the men. Wagoner Paul Anderson, of Harris burg. now attached to the headquar ters troop here, received a severe In- Jury to his right wrist when he was struck by a mule he was harnessing. Anderson now has the arm in a sling. A ligament in the wrist was dislocated. Although drills are still held on foot the cavalrymen are getting ready for the horses. Yesterday Lieutenant Roberts had a force of men at work in the rear of the camp clearing oft the ground and constructing a picket for the horses whenever they are to be issued. Mules have been given the troop for the purpose of giving: the men from Harrisburg drill in the packing and placing of a saddle and bridle on the horses when they are issued. Some funny things happened during the periods that the troop from Harris burg had the mules. Some of the men are afraid of the animals while others want to mount them and ride at once. The men are putting on boxing matches almost every evening as a means of breaking the monotony. Last evening three bouts were staged and the affair attracted crowds from all the other troops in the regiment. Wagoner Anderson and Herman Shope mixed it for a few rounds. Since Lieutenant Xicodemus "has been attached to headquarters Cap tain Jack and Lieutenant Roberts have had to do all the work of command ing the troops themselves. It is a big job for two men. And now comes the information that the government In to detach all second lieutenants in the cavalry and attach them to the Seventeenth Cav alry U. S. Regulars that is now being organized at Fort Bliss. This will mean that Second Lieutenant Roberts of Harrisburg would be detached from the Governor's troop and at tached to the new cavalry regiment. If the lieutenants "make good" in the regulars they will be offered a com mission in the regular army.. Most of the young lieutenants In the Pennsylvania cavalry are anxious to get into the regulars and are erabbing the chance to go to the Seventeenth Regiment. Should Lieu tenant Roberts leave the Governor's Troop, it would mean that Captain Jack would be without an assisting officer. In such a contingency, it Is likely that there would be several promotions among the noncommis sioned officers so as to fill the vacancy.

In the first place, the drive was be gun at the French behest. The British did not think they had enough muni tions in reserve to begin an offensive on so grand a scale. And besides, thev contended, they had not yet familiarized themselves sufficiently with the terrain over which they were to attack. . _ "Whereupon the French offered to supply officers who were skilled in the method of attack to be employed, and who were familiar with every foot of the ground. On the basis of this agreement the offensive was launched. Most of the officers who went with the British are natives of I the country about where the battles are now raging." Verdun. Dr. Black said, the French are now complete masters of the situation. "They are toying with the Ger mans," he said.
