Sept. 26 President Roosevelt, who takes a keen interest in the tabre and sword exercises for caval rymen, has read the new regulations and expressed hit tatisfaction with the provisions and requirements which were prepared by the tpecial committee of ax pert' of the General Staff of the army to encourage quickness of action, accur acy of sight, certainly of stroke and all round skill and confidence. The regula tions provide for a series of lessons for all cavalrymen, on foot and on horseback. There has been little of this sort of work too little, the President thinks-in the military service, and he desires that there shall be taken ud systematically a. aaria of bouts calculated to develop soldiers in the use of the sword. Some of the ex perts say there will be small need of using the sabre in actual combat, and that the day for such hand-to-hand elashino ha long passed, but aside from this, it is realized mat the sabre is the cavalryman's implement of warfare and that the use of it in his athletic work, if nowhere else. will be of benefit.
