EL PASO, TEXAS.—A vast cav- | alry laboratory of 51,300 acres for | U. S. army training will be added | to the Fort Bliss military reserva- tion here under an authorization act passed by congress and signed by President Roosevelt. | An army land acquisition board is expected to survey the area within the next few weeks for selection of the acreage to be purchased as the first step in an expansion of the post. The proposed enlargement un- der the present authorization act would extend the military bounda- ries. north and east to include ter- rain which is ideal for cavalry ma- neuvers. Terrain Considered Ideal. ' This area was selected for the en- largement program, which it is hoped ultimately will comprise 150,- 000 acres in Texas and 350,000 in New Mexico, because of military ad- vantages not as easily obtainable in other sections of the country. Secat- tered population, accessibility to wa- ter and forage, climatic conditions and proximity to rail and highway were considered in the selection. Although exact outlines of the au- thorized 5,300-acre acquisition await determination by the army | land board, the area will include | mountainous regions, foothills and level terrain—providing all types of land conditions for use in cavalry movement as well as for reconnai- sance and scouting. Thus the ter- | ritory will provide tactical officers with a vast laboratory for working out cavalry problems. The scattered population of the desert area will enable long range | firing practice for artillery and troops as well as bombing and FRUITED-NUT ICE CREAM Choice fruits, meaty nut meats, blended with rich cream and other fine ingredients and froz- en into a luscious ice cream.

They hope within the | next few years to encourage further | land purchases by the federal gov- ernment for enlarging Fort Bliss for an additional 500,060 acres.
