STORY OF THE KAISER
"In June, 1889, when the German Emperor saw the Aldcrshot Division carrying out tactical operations, pointing to some cavalry m tho distance, he asked me;" said Sir Evelyn Wood at a recruiting meeting recently, '' 'How many squadrons have you got in the field to-day ?' I replied: 'Sixteen, your Majesty,' when he said: 'If you will come and see my manoeuvres in September I will show you 61' squadrons.' "We admit the Germans are brave, but so far they have not ridden'over our regiments. Their horses are trained for two years before they are passed into the ranks, and while it is impossible for one man to fight three or four with a certainty of _ success, I have always believed that individually our cavalry are better horsemen, and will certainly attack without hesitation twice their number of Germans."
