C.EORGE T DENISON.- - San' Coining Change in Cavalry ' Tadies.Baek la 1877, . • Colonel George T. Denison every Canadian knows as Toronto's Pol- ice Magistrate. , But not many peo- ple know Colonel Denison to be a -prophet and an author of note. Such is the case, .however, Thirty- six years ag.o he wrote a. book, "A History of Cavalry," and entere.d it in a competition inaugurated by the Russian War Department, by au- thority of Emperor Alexander II., for the best. history of Cavalry. There were three prizes, and Col- onel DeniSon, iti ornpetition with the world, WOn the first prize - 5,000 roubles. There never had been before and there never has been since any such complete work on the subject. Mad, furthersnore, a principle which he advocated—a principle revolutionizing the caval- ry service—and -which he claimed wouM be the- basis of future 'mili- tary mounted operations-1nm pro- ven sound and has beers universally adopted. With the perfection of firearms, Col. Denison marked a, coming change in 'cavalry tactics. He pro- Phosied that cavaley would be arra- Col. G. T. Benison. ed with firearms, that the sword and the lance would fall into disuse, that cavalry would not be used to beat elewn eneniy by shock, but would be in effect mounted infan- try. This contention—regarded as mistaken or absurd by most autherities 'when Colonel Den- ison e book first appeared—has been proven sound by modern war. In the Boer War and the Russo- Japanese 'War, the mounted rifles won the day. The British went into the Boer War with 3,000 steel - armed cavalry of the- old type, and at the end of the war had '100,000 mounted 'men in the field. That was the only way they could :fight the 87,365 Boers, who took the field-- praotically all mounted _riflemen. In the Russo-Japanese War there wag. not a single charge against riflemen on foot. The, sword and lance were nowhere. The rifle was supreme, inspiring the only effec- tive action for 'cavalry as well as infantry, Few as the achievements of the Russian cavalry were, what- ever they did achieve was through fire action. Missed It. "Atkins," said the Sergeant, an- grily, "why haven't you shaved this morning ?" "Ain't I shaved ?" asked iitkins, in appitrent goirprise. • .
