The London “Spectator” recently published an account of a pamphlet in which the German General Yon der Goltz maintains that in the next invasion of France, cavalry must be employed on a great scale, and that serious battles of cavalry and horse artillery only may be expected. This (observed the “ Spectator ” m its comments) is known to be the view favored by the scientific German staff; and the “ Times ” described the great manoeuvres going on near Cologne, in which the [Rhineland and Westphalian Corps d’Armee are engaged. They were remarkable for the great position assigned to the cavalry, which, on the first day, had the whole of the work to do, not a rifle being fired, and the ■ whole of the infantry being employed in “ mere strategical manoeuvring. It is known, moreover, that one great reliance of the Russian staff against invasions by Germany is on the great numbers of cavalry they habitually keep ready for concentration in Poland. The Germans cannot rival them in this arm If this view is correct, the revival of eayalry campaigning will greatly increase the expense of armies and the calamities of war. Cavalry can never be cheap, even in a conscript service ; and a mass of cavalry moving in an enemy’s territory must desolate it. It cannot keep up the needful speed and carry and must, therefore, live by requisitions, which when the number of horsemen rise high, blight a district like a flight of locusts.
