FRENCH FRONT. Jan. 10.—Trem
warfare has not diminished the He
man cavalry forces, as has been gcim
ally supposed for information whic
has just reached the correspordet
of the Associated press shows the t<
tal of squadrons in the service to 1)
even higher than it was at the mobil
zation in 1914. Changes, boweve
have been introduced in the mounte
t arm of the service by which some c
! the squadrons temporarily have bee
| dismounted and utilized as infantry
) while the formations have undergom
considerable variation.
At present the German army has a
its disposal no fewer than 649 sqaud
rons of cavalry, comprising activt
reserve, mobile ersatz, landwehr am
landsturm units, but of these 144 havi
been separated from their horses am
used as infantry. This figure com
pares with 4 40 squadrons on n pean
footing.
When w'ar began the German cav
airy at once formed into eleven divis
ions, each composed of six regiment;
of four squadrons. Besides those
there were also the bodies of division
al cavalry attached to the active and
reserve divisions of infantry.
Rumania’s entry into the war madt
more cavalry formations necessary
I and the number or organized divisions
was at once increased to fourteen.
The spring of J917 saw the end of
I the Rumanian campaign, and with
] this came a decrease of the divisional
j formations to six. while the divisions
j themselves were reduced from sij
1 regiments to four each. At the sam«
time independent brigades of mount
ed troops were formed, of which the
existance of at least five is known,
each having three regiments of four
squadrons each. -,
Nearly every infantry dhfeion is
provided also with a unit of cavalry
whose strength varies according to
the nature of the country in which
the troops are operating.
From among the cavalrymen who,
temporarily, are not employed on
mounted duty at the front, twenty
three regiments of riflemen have been
formed, which take their turn in hold
ing trenches with the ordinary infant
ry formations. Eeach of these regi
ments is composed of four squadrons
and a squadron of machine-gunners.
. Besides these other units of caval
I rymen selected from the regiments of
the active army are from time to time
, used as infantry, but their exact nnm
I hers are not ascertainable.
