It has often Loyalist flanks eating uni but also in attack broken through the and has prevented ret from reforming their lines J: nese officers now are I menting the lack of adequate cav- alry for effective flanking mov ments and quick follow-ups of drives against the Chinese. On the cther hand, Chinese guerillas have found their Mongolian ponies ex- tremely useful in making sudden raids on Japanese outposts, followed by quick retreats to the hills cor other cover. The machine gun was expected to doom horse movement on the battle field. It has greatly retarded cavalry and infantry advances, but there have been instances where machine gunners in defensive po- sitions have been overwhelmed by surprise mounted attacks. Says General Maun Craig, chief staff, U. S. army: “American is not only a scouting force, but it is a powerful combat arm. It offers a larger target but moves faster than the infant Its purpose is to advance men with rifles and machine guns.

But off the paved highways, there are woods, hills, streams, ravines and swamps to oppose the progress | of motor vehicles. And then the horse comes in mighty handy! The airplane, of course, has greatly expanded the range and increased the speed of scouting troop movements. Yet when visi- bility is bad the cavalry comes to the rescue. Said General Von Seeckt, late commander-in-chief of the German army: “The aviator has come to aid— not to replace—the cavalryman.
