MAJOR MARSHALL IN UNION

Major Francis C. Marshall of the Second United States Cavalry will lecture on the subject "Is our Nation Prepared?" in the Assembly Room of the Union this evening at 8.15 o'clock. The lecture will be given under the auspices of Troops B and C, organizations composed chiefly of Harvard men, and will be open to the public.

Major Marshall holds the post of cavalry instructor for New England with headquarters at Hartford, Conn. He is one of the foremost authorities in the country on the functions of cavalry in modern warfare and is at present issuing a series of bulletins on this subject. He has made a study of the application of aeronautics to war and has been instrumental in the progress of this science under government experiment. Major Marshall is the author of numerous books pertaining to military matters.

The occasion of the lecture is a meeting of Troops B and C in celebration of the anniversary of Troop C, which was organized in the Union three years ago. The Troops have recently purchased a site for a new cavalry armory near the Cottage Farm bridge and plans for the erection of a building will be discussed.
