One month behind time, the adminis tration food control hill was reported out of conference without the features that were objectionable to the presi dent. Its enactment within a week was confidently, predicted. The chief features that were eliminated were the — - — • <1 *r * •** congressional war expenditure com mittee and the three-member food con trol board. The price-fixing and con trol provisions were greatly restricted and the prohibition section is less dras tic. Partly as a result of the compromise on the food control hill, the senate adopted the Sheppard resolution for a national prohibition amendment to the constitution. The vote—65 to -0— i would have been much closer had the dry forces not consented to a provision that The amendment shall not be opera- j live unless it is ratified by tlie states within six years. The constitutionality of that limitation is doubtful. The dry leaders decided to await the December session of congress before trying to get the resolution through the lower house. Another commendable action of the Semite was the adoption of McUum lier's resolution calling upon the presi dent to undertake to obtain the consent of the European nations allied against j the central powers to the draft of their subjects in the United States for the war. It is believed the allies will l quickly agree to this and that the plan will be In operation before long. The new war industries board, with Frank A. Scott instead of Bernard Ba ruch us its chairman, has taken up with vigor its work of government buying and supervision over the gen eral industrial activity. Mr. Scott an nounced that profit-making must now yield to patriotism, extravagance to economy and selfishness to service. • The reorganized shipping board also is speeding up and last week it made the Southern pine producers promise prompter delivery of the timber they ; have pledged, for tic board intends to j build as many wooden ships as pos sible. i ne embargo tnat is designed to shut : off Germany's supplies of fofxl and war munitions is going to have an ef- ; feet on the supply of shipping. Nor way already lias proposed to place al most its entire merchant fleet at the disposal of the allies and promised to export nothing but fish to Germany if assured of receiving American food products, and Holland, too, is willing to exchange ships for food if the ves sels are not to be sent into the danger zone. Sweden and Denmark, it is be lieved. will follow suit. The effective ness of the embargo policy, however, depends to a considerable extent, on whether or not the shipment of food stuffs from Russia into Germany can he prevented. The shipping board last week pre pared to commandeer ail American shipping, and President Wilson issued an order that has the effect of cutting off steel exports to Japan unless Jaie | auese vessels are diverted to war uses. | Exemption Boards Busy. The examination of drafted men by the exemption boards is going on rap idly and smoothly, and under instruc tions from Provost Marshal General Crowder the hoards have tightened up j on the exemptions. They have been told to keep in mind that the two i tilings to be accomplished are the rais- j ing of armies and the maintaining of industries. Meanwhile the federal and local authorities all over the country i are rounding up the slackers Continuing their work of co-operat ing with the Germans the Industrial Workers of the World stirred up vari ous troubles for mine owners, lumber producers and themselves, in many Western localities. Some towns fol lowed the example of Bisbee and de l>orted the disturbers, and one of their leaders, Frank Little, tvas taken out and hanged by masked men at Butte, I Mont. Such occurrences, of course, must he deplored—theoretically. The government cannot and will not tolerate strikes that tie up industries that are vital to the successful conduct of tlie war. This was demonstrated by the quick ending of a strike of thou- , sands of railway switchmen that • started at Chicago. When the federal j authorities took a hand, both sides j, found they could yield points and! reach an amicable agreement.

TURNING THE SQUAD COM PLETELY ABOUT. * We now return to the squad for fur ther instruction therein. “Squad right,” which was explained in the thir teenth article of this series, is at once a movement so difficult and so impor tant—important as the basis for chang ing the front of a platoon or company —that it would be beneficial to go over it again in preparation for “squad right about.” In “squad right,” the right man on the front rank, at the command “MARCH.'” faces to the right in march ing and marks time. He must cease absolutely to advance until the move ment is completed. If he inches for ward. he then ceases to be a "fixed pivotand unless “squad right” is per formed upon a fixed pivot, the squads i will not fit together properly when a j column of squads swings into a com pany front. If. however, the pivot man j turns upon the fixed spot and marks ‘ time, ns he should, the various squads in company front will slip into place | like boards with tongues and grooves, i At the command of execution. "MARCH,” the three other front-rank men oblique to the right, place them selves abreast of the pivot man. and mark time. They do not stumble into position in loose and sagging circles. Each of these movements should be precise and military. Otherwise, the squad formation will he as slack as the movement of the slackest man. In the rear rank, the third man from i the right (No. 3. in the “count off"), j followed in column by Nos. 2 and 1, moves straight to the front until he finds himself immediately to the rear of his front rnnk man Nos. 2 and 1 place themselves behind their front rank men likewise. Then all face to the right in marching and mark time. The other man of the rear rank—No. 4—moves straight to the front, at the side of No. 3 for four ; aces and places himself abreast of ti e man on his right. Each man. as he reaches the new line, glances toward the march ing flank—that is. tho^e still to come ; on to the new line—while he marks time, and when the last man arrives on the line, both ranks proceed with “forward march" with' at further com mand. For the guidance of the squad members, the movement has been I worked out in six counts—at the quick time cndence of 120 steps a minute— from the command “MARCH." In ! other words, if each man will perform his appointed task while counting six. including the marking time, the squad j will be ready to advance in the new j direction upon the sixth count. “Squads left” is. of course, exe cuted as above with the fourth man i in the front rank as the fixed pivot, j Now, in order completely to reverse tLe front of a company and the direc- [ tlon of march, “squads right" (left) about” is executed. At this com mand. the pivot man (No. 1, front rank) executes “squad right” twice. He does not, however, make this a sloppy merger of the two, but starts the second “squad right” when the last man in the front rank on the first “squad right” has arrived abreast of the rank. They execute the movement in two distinct counts of six. The front rank moves then, as in “squad right.” The movement of the rear rank, however, is somewhat differ ent from the same rank’s task in “squad right.” and this difference should be carefully noted. Thus, in the rear rank. ! the third man from the right—No. 3— j followed by No. 2 and No. 1 in col- ! unm. moves straight to the front until on the prolongation of the line (40 ' inches in the rear of the front rank) 1 to be occupied by the rear rank; changes direction to the right; moves in the new direction until he. and Nos. 2 and I also, are each in rear of his respective front rank i»an, when all face toward tke right in marching, mark time, and glance toward the marching flank. The fourth man marches on the left of the third man to his new posi tion. and, as he arrives on the line, both ranks execute “forward march”—on the second count of six— without further command. EXTENDED ORDER. Everythin? we have taken up so far from “the school of the squad” except “take interval” and “take distance,” has been “close order” drill. Close order is necessary for march ing, parade and disciplinary purposes, but in modern warfare—that is, out side of a trench—a squad fights in ex tended order. Even in a trench, the principle of the extended order is main tained ; that is to say, the distance be tween rifles is approximately the same Rs when deployed on its skirmish line. Of all the great armies in Europe, the Germans alone at the present time send troops into battle in close order, ar “massed formation,” with the result that their casualties are appalling. Extended order, on the other hand, a characteristic of American tro.ps, is also uniformly practiced by the allied irmies. The purpose of extended or ier is so to distribute the men of a squad that they may work in unison and without serious reduction of the amount of fire which can be delivered j 'rom a single section of the line, but ' vhich at the same time leaves suffi- I lent space between them to minimize 1 he chances of their being hit. Even a machine gun would not an- ! aihilate a squad in extended order quite so expeditiously as it could dis pose of one in close order. For not only does the extended order separate the men, but in that degree increases their chances of escaping bullets, but it also affords them infinitely bet ter chances of finding cover while ad vancing. To deploy “ns skirmishers,” which is the descriptive command for extend ed order drill, the corporal at the com mand of execution, “march,” springs in front of the squad, if he does not occupy that position already. At a run, the other members of the squad place themselves abreast of the cor poral at half pace intervals. Since a pace is 30 inches, there is 15 inches of space between men so deployed, in stead of the four inches of close order. No. 2 of the front rank springs to the corporal’s immediate right. No. 2 of the rear rank takes station to the immediate right of No. 2 front rank. No. l front rank is on the Immediate right of No. 2 rear rank, and No. 1 rear rank on the right of No. 1 front rank. On the corporal’s immediate left is No. 3 rear rank, who has No. 3, front rank, on his left, while on No. 3 front rank’s left is the remaining member of the squad. No. 4 rear rank. in otnor wonts, with the exception of No. 4 rear rank, in extended order the rear rank inen till place themselves on the right of their respective file leaders, and each front rank man. in springing to the side of the corporal, leaves room for the rear rank man of the same number to step imo his prop er position in the skirmish line. If there are any extra men in the squad (which sometimes happens), they fall in at the left of No. 4 rear rank, or at the extreme left of the skirmish line. In moving, the entire line conforms to the corporal's gait, whether that be route step, double t'me. or still fast er running. Deployed as skirmishers, a squad does not keep step; but it musi take pains to see that a space of 15 inches is maintained between each man. A common error is for the men to hunch after a few steps for ward have been taken. Inasmuch as the normal interval be tween skirmishers is one-half pace, or 15 inches, each man has practically one yard of front. The front of a squad thus deployed is ten paces, or 25 feet. WHEN THE SQUAD IS ACTING ALONE IN EXTENDED ORDER. The squad in combat drill is what might he called a subsidiary first unit. The squad is not the regulation first unit—tl£s is the platoon (one-fourth of a company roughly speaking), as will be explained later. But within a platoon, a closer fire control is often necessary, and to this the squad organ ization is adapted. Particularly is this essential to “firing by squads” which is. under certain circumstances, the most effective way in which the fire can be delivered. In addition, the squad is a most practicable unit for patrol and out post duty, since it places a small and flexible body of men in charge of a noncommissioned officer for work which requires discretion and conceal ment. Tlds is not to say that patrol nr outpost duty is confined to squads, but it is often subdivided finally upon the squad basis. In any event, the squad in extended order work of all kinds has many occasions to work in dependently. and it is then that the discipline and sense of unity acquired in close order drill will justify Itself, ns well as obedience and attention to the corporal. When the squad is deployed with other squads, the front and rear rank men place themselves abreast the cor poral at half-pace intervals, as we have seen, hut when the squad is act ing alone, the skirmish line is formed in the same way upon No. 2 of the front rank. No. 2 stands fast in his place or continues the march, as the case may be. Meanwhile, the cor poral places himself in front of the squad when advancing, and in the rear when halted. When he is In line, the corporal is the guide; when he is not in line—that is, when he advances in front of the squad as its commander— No. 2 front rank is the guide of the line, and it is the duty of No. 2 front rank to follow in the tracks of the cor poral. with the rest of the squad guid ing on No. 2. The command for assembling t{ie squad may be given either as “Assem bly, MARCH,” or by the corporal's waving his arm in short circles above his head. At the command, the men move toward the corporal, wherever he has taken his station as u base, and form upon him, in their proper places, in close order. If the corporal contin ues to advance, they move in double time, form, and follow him. The as sembly. while marching to the rear, is not executed. It will be seen that in deploying as skirmishers, the precise form of move ment prescribed for close order drill is not adhered to. A man has more ease and latitude in carrying out the movements. This is to make speed. While men in close order are com pelled to turn corners sharply and maneuver, so to speak, in angles, in ex tended order it would be inefficient for a man to turn on an angle to reaehViis position when he could make a straight cut for it. Tet this in no sense nullifies the need for precision in close order drilh without it troops would become hope lessly tangled up, and without it also there would not be the uniformity of movement which would cause members of a squad in extended order instinct ively to choose the most direct—and in that sense, precise—short-cuts in the 'east possible time. In fact, without the close order, they could make no short cuts at all, for they would not know where to turn in order to find their places in the squad. First Omnibus. The first horse omnibus was seen in he neighborhood of Nantes in 1S26 j ind ran to facilitate access to a bath ng establishment which a M. Baudry j lad set up in the outskirts of that own. “The name of these vehicles,” M. laudry said, “shall be omnibus—that 9 to say, ‘open to all.’ ” The venture i ras so successful that a limited com- i any was formed to inaugurate a simi ir enterprise in Paris. The Parisian ] inert men t was at first a failure, but | after Its originator had manifested his disappointment h.v drowning himself in the Canal St. Martin, others reaped % rich harvest from his Ideas.

An alarm clock awakened a lady in Philadelphia just in time to allow her to escape from a burning building. She had set the clock as usual at five o'clock, but that morning it failed to ring. During the afternoon she lay down for a nap on the divan. At five o’clock the alarm clock started its racket twelve hours late. She awoke to find the house full of smoke and flames creeping up the stairway. She was aroused just in time to escape to the street. "That clock has been my pal for years.” said she. "I never knew it to miss its regular morning alarm before. It must have known something.” The man who has no use for the opinions of others never has any of his own that other people want. Patience is frequently lauded, but tenacity is what gets there. He'd Blow ^ v.-n. • \ “Suppose,” read <_,;-. .’t !.;. .1. T if. fey. Jr., instructor of tie' .:.
