the official title of Captain Hewitt's
girls, and in their three weeks’ camp
they covered a course of intensive
instruction, embracing everything
from messenger service to cooking
and front peeling potatoes to bare
back riding.
Miss Hewitt and her sister. Miss
Lucy Hewitt, were the organizers of
the camp. They took their idea be

and women and after careful study
the training course was worked out.

Morgan, Mrs. Edward R. Hewitt,
Mrs. Everit Macy, Miss Elizabeth
Lowndes, of Rosemary Hall; Miss
Spence, Henry L. Stimson, General
j Charles Roe, IT. S. A., retired; Lieu
tenant-Colonel William P. SchaulT
I ler, Surgeon-General, N. G. N. J.,
j and Harry B. Sedgwick.
The purposes of the corps are to
lead girls who have had opportuni
ties In life to recognize their respon
sibilities.
The course included making camp,
cooking, riding, swimming, first aid
and sanitation, lectures will be giv
en in military law so that the girls
may real'ze fully iii what relation
they will stand to their own and to
enemy troops in time of war.

equipment with which each young
woman must provide herself. This
included two pairs of waterproor
shoes, three pairs of thick stockings.

PITTMAN FATHERS
WASHINGTON, June 29.—On the
report of army officers that the Eur
opean war has robbed the United
States of most of its suitable caval
ry horses, Senator Pittman, of Ne
vada, Is fathering a bill for govern
ment aid in breeding a new supply.
Attention was centered on this
military weakness of the country
when officers were able to buy cav
alry remounts for the Mexican cam
paign only at unusually high prices,
and those of inferior quality.
Officers reported to Pittman be
fore he introduced his bill that there
are only 30,000 cavalry horses in
the country suitable for immediate
use. Since the European war open
ed 1,500,000 American horses and
mules have been exported.
‘‘Horses for cavalry should be
rather small, decidedly hardy and
intelligent,” said Senator Pittman
today. “We have plenty of heavy ‘
horses for commercial use, but the j
auto truck has largely done away !
with their military value. What is
needed is a supply of ponies able to
lo scout duty.
"This breed is obtained by the j
crossing of thoroughbreds and west
ern plain stock. The co-operation
of breeders of the eastern thorough
bred states with western growers,
under the supervision of the federal j
government, is required. There is
no feature of the preparedness pro
gram more pressing than the crea
tion of a suitable cavalry horse j
type.”
The $200,000 sought by Pittman j
is under consideration by the appro
priations committee.
