TANKS TOREPLAC CHARGE OF CAVALRY ’Horses Seemed Doomed in French Army to Make Room for Moter Age. By the Associated’ Press. PARIS, October 11.—Cavalry seems doomed to disappear from the French army within a few years. Automobiles, tanks and airplanes have already replaced or are in thé process of replacing soldiers and offi- cers mounted on prancing steeds, once the pride of French military life. In the plans for the entire reor- ganization of the French army, which Minister of War Painleve in collabora- tion with the late Marshal Foch had begun to elaborate in 1927 and is now continuing with Gen. Weygand and the general staff, provision is made for only two divisions of cavalry. At the be- ginning of the war the PFrench army boasted of 16 mounted divisions. Lengthy Discussion. ‘The decision was taken after long and arduous discussion among French military men. It overruled the out- spoken plea of Gen. Rampont, com- mander-in-chief of French mounted effectives, who, after presenting lengthy arguments in favor of the retention of cavalry as a weapon of war, concluded his remarks with a dispirited appeal: “Do not forget that cavalry, led by ener- getic chiefs, can rended eflec'.ive aid.” Gen. Rampont had warned: “In all the wars of history, under Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Turgenne, Napoleon and in 1870, cavalry formed a large p.mnu[e of the effectives and played | g, a g part in the results.” B\lt Lhe World War had changed all that, said the leaders of the opposition to cavalry, as =& useless and costly weapon. ‘Warfare Revolutionized. “A great war, revolutionizing all for- mer principles of warfare, has just been concluded. It lasted four years, upon all sorts of terrains, under the most ed circumstances, permitting the use of all the different arms, which go to make up an army. During that long war cavalry never played the slightest role.

KANSAS CITY, October 11.—Chorus girls just don’t like Bennie Ball. Ben- nie almost admitted that himself yes- terday. Bennie began a turbulent career of lovemaking two years ago, when as a 15-year-old errand boy he saw his first musical comedy. He disappeared one day with $85 given him to take to the bank. Police found Bennie, his pockets chorine refused his proffered heart and hand Bennie printed a fake newspaper clipping reporting his arm had been crushed in a printing press and mailed it to the girl. Another failure. A week ago Miss Opal Jackson in- spired his hopes anew. He resolved on desperate measures. A note addressed to Miss Jackson, pinned in Bennie's best suit, was found yesterday on the Hannibal Bridge over the Missouri River. The import of the note was that a cruel world had overcome Ben- full of cigars and his arms Tull of roses, nie. awaiting romance at a stage door. Bennie's chosen chorine appeared in- different to his resultant plight and after being paroled in Juvenile Court Bennie turned his attentions to another of the footlight stars. Still Bennie found himself a failure, however, and even a self-inflicted bullet wound in the | sgiq Be; arm failed to arouse interest in the desired quarter. Suspecting something was wrong, Bennie moved to another theater. He had wedding announcements printed after encouragement from a new object of his edmiration, but found he had been_precipitate.

The physics of t.he field seemed to have been turned upside down, because a few wells increased their flow with the appearance of the sink hole. No one was able to predict how deep or how wide the depression would grow. Geologists were inclined to believe that sand pockets in harder formations, washed empty by the flow of waters, disturbed by drilling or blown out by wild wells, were collapsing under the surface. At the center of the big crater a space of about three acres, which has drepped away faster and is much deeper than the rest of the hole, is filled with WE PAY o) OR MORE jhnomes on D.
