LESSONS OF THE WAR
CAVALRY AN ESSENTIAL ARM. (Rec. October 12, 1.10 a.m.) London, October 11. Speaking at the unveiling of a memorial to tho fallen at Canterbury, Earl Haig sharply criticised the proposed disbandment of four regiments of cavalry, stating that he was of opinion that the step was not justified by the lessons o. the war. He declared that if Ludendorff had had sufficient mounted men to throw into action eouth-east of Amiens _ on March 27 and 28 1918, tho result might have been disastrous to the Allies. war had taught them emphatically that cavalry was an essential arm that could not bo replaced by tanks, aeroplanes, or heavy guns.—.Reuter.
