; SELF HELPS for the I
l NEW SOLDIER. J
? By i United St&tei Army Officer A
. ... . . . . . . . j
ICopynjht, 1917, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.;
the platoon.
In the preceding articles on the
school of the company, the platoon
has purposely been left out of consid
eration and the attention confined to
the squad and company. The reason
was that the principles upon which
platoon movements are executed are
based on those of the squad and com
pany ; for the platoon, consisting of
from two to four squads, is simply
a company on a reduced scale, or a
squad on an enlarged scale, and is
handled, generally speaking, accord
ingly. Moreover, when the new sol
dier. after drill in the school of the
squad, is first placed in the school of
the company, he is taught the appli
cation of las squad movements in com
pany formation, and this supplies the
natural connection between squad and
company evolutions.
The platoon, as has been said before,
is to the company what the company
is to the battalion. In a war-strength
company there are four platoons, and
in either a peace or war strength bat
talion there are four companies. It
Is therefore apparent that such move
ments as “Company right (left),”
which are for the purpose of throwing
a column of companies into line of the
battalion, are simulated with “Platoons
right (left),” by turning the platoons
on a fixed pivot into a line of the com
pany.
as pnintea out in connection witn
“Company right (left)." the movement
is the same in principle as “Squad
right (left)"; but since a platoon con
sists of two. three or four squads (we
shall assume hereafter that the pla
toon is at the war strength of four
squads, or 32 men), in such points as
the rules vary between squad and com
pany “right." the platoon follows the
rules for the company.
The reason for the subdivision of the
company into four platoons, instead of
two, as formerly, is that modern battle
conditions have demonstrated that
from twenty to thirty ritles are as
many as can be effectively controlled
by one leader. The platoon is there
fore the fire unit, as we shall see when
we take up exiended-order drill for the
company.
The platoons are commanded as fol
lows: The p!at<>on on the right of the
line, by the first lieutenant: the pla
toon at the left of the line, by the
second lieutenant; the platoon at
right center, by the first sergeant, and
the platoon at left center, by the ser
geant next in rank.
Each platoon has a sergeant for
guide, and th- file closers are distrib
uted according to their posts behind
the line f the company. The musi
cians march as file closers with the
first platoon.
The platoons are numbered consecu
tively from right to left, and these des
ignations d i not change. Since the
platoon is the fire unit, its usefulness
is most apparent in extended order;
but it is also frequently employed in
marches, on the parade ground, or in
the armory. In parades through the
streets of a city a company front of
04 men would generally be Impossible;
also, a company front of 32. or two
platoons, is frequently too wide. The
column of platoons formation, there
fore. of a war strength company would
give a front 16 men wide, and this
would accommodate Itself to streets
which were too narrow for the two
pintoon front.
Nevertheless, in garrison or ceremo
nies. the strength of platoons may, if
desirable, u^ceed four squads. That is.
under suen circumstances, the com
pany might he divided into two pla
toons of eight squads each.
PLATOON COMMANDS.
M"hen the company is in line, to form
columns of platoons, the command Is.
“P'atoons right (left).” This is exe
cuted by each platoon as in the school
of the company.
The right flank men in the front
rnr < of each platoon face to the right
in Marching and mark time. The other
front rank men oblique to the right,
pip :-e themselves abreast of the pivot
men, and mark time. In the rear rank,
tie third man from the right in each
l 'a toon (followed in column by the
second and first) moves straight to the
front until in the rear of his front rank
man. Then all three face to the right
n marching and mark time. The re
maining men of the rear rank move
straight to the front for four paces,
oblique to the right, place themselves
abreast of the third man, cover their
file leaders and mark time.
P.efore executing this movement with
platoons, the captain makes it a point
p> see that the guides on the flank
t nvard which the movement is to turn
r. re covering—that is, are in a straight
r >w, so that the pivot men. whose po
sitions are governed by those of the
elides, will also be in a straight row.
which will bring the platoons into a
precise column. This is effected by
pteviously announcing the guide to
that flank.
Following the command. “Platoons
right (left), MARCH,” the concluding
command is to the company as a
whole—“Forward, MARCH,” or “Com
pany, HALT.”
Being in columns of platoons, to
'•hange direction, the command is. “Col
umn right (left), MARCH.” At the
preparatory command, the leader of
•he first platoon turns to the right on
fi moving pivot; then its leader com
mands, “Forward, MARCH,” at the
completion of the turn. Rear platoons
march squarely up to the turning point
of the leading platoon and turn ai the
command of their leaders.
When a company is in a column of j
squads, and it is desired to form a
line of platoons, the command “Pla
toons, column right (left)” is given.
This Is executed hy each platoon as
already described for the company
The leading squad of each platoon exe
cutes a right turn, and four parallel j
columns of squads advance in line of
platoons.
When the company Is in line, to form
line of platoons, the command may he
either. “Squads right (left), platoons,
column right (loft). MARCH,” or “Pla
toons right (left) hy squads, MARCH."
The first command is explained hy ref
erence to the preceding paragraph. ■
while the second is executed by each
platoon separately as “Right (left) by
squads” in the school of the company.
Being in column of platoons, to form
the company line on the right or left,
the command is as follows: “On right
(left) into line. MARCH.” . . . “Com
pany. HALT!” At the preparatory
command, the leader of the first pla
toon gives “right turn.” At “March."
the platoon turns to the right on a
moving pivot. The command “Halt’
is given w hen the leading platoon has
advanced the desired distance. At the
“Halt” its leader commands “Right
dress.” The other platoons march ex
actly as though they were squads when
this order is given to the company in
column of squads.
“Platoons, right (left) front into
line” is executed as described hy
squads in the school of the company
The dress for “Platoons, right front
into line.” would he > n the left squad
i of the left platoon.
EXTENDED ORDER.
The purpose of the close order drill
through which we h; ve just been put
j with the company is threefold: In the
lirst place, it confers the benefits cited
at the beginning of t! s series, namely,
discipline and uniformity of movement.
In the second place, by pleasing the
eye with the mown -'nts. it n"t only
teaches with conon te example the
fundamentals of unlit :-y precision, hut
! contributes an imj» rtant moral «le
I inent known as esprit de corps. A
company which is ,n the height of
drilling or marching together has a
, vastly better spirit than one which,
i however well traine i as individuals,
has been assembled but a short time,
j The third benefit is a practical or me
chanical expression o: the second. This
is “teamwork.”
Teamwork is so important to troops
in combat that the it/untry drill regu
i lations select thi> athb tie term in pref
erence to the whole military glossary
to explain the combination of ele
ments required by a unit for success
ful action. Teamwork is indispensable,
and teamwork can only be learned, to
begin with, in close order, just as
teamwork with a football squad can be
properly learned only by signal prac
tice. But well-developed teamwork is
the more indispensable with deployed
units because the comparatively wide
fronts increase the difficulties of eoa
i trol. This brings us to the considera
tion of extended order.
| Because of the increased difficulties
: of control, noncommissioned officers
: are given great latitude in the execu
tion of extended order work. We have
already seen, in the article devoted to
the corporal, how that individual's im
portance increased the moment the
squad was deployed in line of skrraish
ers. The success of the whole, in fact,
in the word of the regulations, “de
pends largely upon how well each sub
ordinate co-ordinates his work with the
general plan.”
In further illumination of this state
ment. officers and men are instructed
that "it is far better to do any intelli
gent thing consistent with the aggres
sive execution of the general pian
than to search hesitatingly for the
Ideal. This is the true rule of conduct
for subordinates—who are required to
act upon their own initiative.”
But subordinates are immediately
warned that independence must not be
come license. The subordinate officer
! should at all times have the general
i plan of action in mind and cause his
own acts to conform thereto. The test
| is for him to ask himself whether he
j is reasonably sure that his superior
in the given circumstances would issue
the identical order. If the order he
receives is obviously based upon an
incorrect view of the situation, is im
possible of execution, or has become j
impracticable because of changes
which have occurred since its promul- I
gation. the subordinate is compelled to
use his own judgment and take the re
sponsibility upon himself, if he is un
able first to communicate the situa
tion to his superiors.
These instructions are directed to
officers primarily, but they are rela
tively true of the responsibility which
devolves upon the squad or platoon
leader, and for this reason have their
places in the consideration of the com
pany when deployed in line of skir
mishers.
Are We Living Too Fast?
Life in the great centers of the Unit
ed States has gained such impetus
that it makes few pauses in its rush
toward its own destruction. It hur
ries us along in its current of excite
ment, battering us against Jagged
rocks that jut across it from all an- j
gles. poisoning us. polluting our blood
j with emotions that eat up red corpus- ,
j cles, and draining our sensibilities of
their natural responsiveness.
Waste of physical energy is scarcely 1
worse than waste of mental forces. I
Life ceases to be enjoyable that mo :
raent in which we leave off wondering !
at it. when it no longer surprises us; ,
when it no longer has unexplored vis
tas, unexpected romances and adven
tures, when our jaded palates are cal
loused beyond the possibility of antici- j
pation.—Exchange.
The Sidereal Year.
It has long been known that the
year defined as the time between two
successive returns of the sun in its
apparent round of the heavens, to the
same star differs by about 20 minutes
from the year defined as the time be
tween two successive returns of the
run to the same solstice. The former
Is called the sidereal year and the lat
ter the tropical year.
For the calendar the latter is chos
en. If we used the sidereal year, the
exact time of the summer solstice
I would come 20 minutes later each i
year, and finally, after the lapse of a
number of years, the date of mid-sum
mer would be in December and the
meanings of the months would be en
tirely changed.

Twelve Big Or.es Growing.
Twelve 10.000-ton ships r.re now on
the way? f a single company in Se
attle. Under the stress of necessity
methods o; construction have been de
veloped that promise to revolutionize
the <hip building methods of the world.
To begin with, the vessels are all
standardized. Parts are fabricated for
a dozen ships on the same plans. The
material is carried from the shops to
the ship on aerial tramways. The
work is done largely by machinery.
The old method was to rivet the sides
together plate by plate. The new
method pats the plates together in the
shops in large sections which are
swung into place by heavy cranes.
This wholesale way of throwing ma
teria! together makes it possible to
launch a large ship in 90 days Instead
of six months or a year. If the East
ern shipyards are able to keep up wttt
the Pacific coast in the race for quick
building, the American merchant ma
rine will he something for the world
to reckon with in a very few years.—

Alaska Coal Kelps in War.
The Alaska railroad from Seward,
on the const, to Fairbanks. 470 miles
inland and located on the Tanana
river, a navigable tributary of the Yu
kon. which was ordered by act of
congress in 1914. has been completed
far enough to justify the expectation
that it will be ready for use early in
191S. It taps two coal mines, the Ma
ranuska and the N'enana. which are
believed to be inexhaustible, and the
product of which has been found ex
cellent for use on locomotives and
steamboats. The railroad w:T bring
this . oal direct to tidewater, and when
the supply is brought into use, it will
provide sufficient for all naval bases
in the Pacific and release thousands
of cars now used in transporting coal
across the continent. This will help
fight the war by providing increased
transportation for men and munitions.
Some Queer Moneys.
Iron money has been put intq circu
lation recently in Germany. Iti Mex
ico cardboard money is in use. owing
to the disappearance of metal cur
rency due to the unsettled state of the
country.
Porcelain money is used in Rurma
and Siam, and feather money, manu
factured from the short red feathers
from beneath the wings of a species
of parrot, is the ordinary currency of
the Santa Cruz islanders. The Loy
alty islands, which lie in the Pacific
to the east of Australia, are famous
for their fur money. The fur. which
is taken from behind the ears of the
so-called "flying fox.” in reality a
large, fruit-eating bat. is woven into
cords of various lengths, and these
constitute the ordinary currency of the
islanders.
To Protect Eyes at Movies.
In order to protect the eyes of those
who frequently attend movie shows, a
special form of spectacles has been
devised, says the August Popular Me
chanics Magazine in an illustrated ar- j
tide. It consists of a pair of opaque
disks mounted in regular spectacle
frames, each disk having a narrow slit
or opening through which the wearer I
peers at the pictures, while most of the
eye is covered by the disks. The prin
ciple is that of an old method of test
ing the eyes for astigmatism, called the
“stenopaic" method, which consisted
in trying the patient's vision with spec
tacles having opaque plates and small
central slits somewhat like those of
the new protective movie device.
Promotion for Rear Admiral.
The title of rear admiral always
seems odd to the layman, says the
Springfield Union, but never more so
than when it is worn by a naval eom
rrtander who is at the front and. so far
as one may gather from the vague
hints the cables carry, putting in good
work against the enemy. Comment
ing on this, the Boston Transcript
suggests promoting such officers to the
title <f "frgnt. admiral."

Senator Simmons was discussing the

"Halting war tuxes," he,,said, “isn't

WAS BEYOND THE ADVOCATE
Counsel Could Think of No Possible
Reason Why Judge Should Be
on the Bench.
It was one of those tense moments
in a crowded court when the prisoner's
fate seemed to depend on the next an
swer of the witness. There was an
expectant hush on all present, when
suddenly the opposine counsel butted
in with a noisy objection based on
some obscure point of law, says Lon
don Tit-Bits.
For ten minutes or more the pris
oner was forgotten while judge and
counsel were involved in a tangle of
legal phrases and precedents. Although
the controversy was absolutely unin
telligible to the crowd present, it was
clear enough to the dullest intelligence
that counsel was more than holding
his own in the argument. This was
also painfully apparent to the judge
himself, who, in a desperate effort to
1 recover his official dignity, snapped
1 out:
“What does counsel suppose I am
on the bench for?"
“Well,” said the learned advocate,
slowly and reflectively, “I must confess
your lordship has got me there.”

Vou say to the drug store man,
“Give me a small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from one's feet.
A few drops of this new ether com
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly. and soon the entire eoru or
callus, root and all. dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid one's feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
1 moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
unrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.—adv.

One young man who was highly sen
sitive about an impediment which he
had in his speech went to a stammer
ers’ institute and asked for a course
of treatments. The professor asked
him if he wanted a full or a partial
course.
“A p-p-partial e-c-course.”
“To what extent would you like a
partial course?”
“Enough s-so that wh-when I go to
a f-f-florist's and ask for a c-e-c-chr
chrys-s-anth (whistle) e-m-mum, the
th-thing won’t w-wilt b-before I g-get

Signor Mascagni, rite composer, often
lead" The orchestra at La Scala ill
Milan and at the Constaust in Koine.
He never refuses an encore.
“In my youth"—thus he explains tne
matter—"I was an orchestra leader at
! a dollar a day. Perhaps my low pay
had soared me At that time, at any
rate, I would not grant an encore for
any consideration.
“Well, leading •Santimello’ onca. in
Naples. I refused an encore of a cer
tain song in my usual manner. The
1 Neapolitan audience shouted and
I roared. I was, of course, firm. But
suddenly I felt a blow on the back of
my head and fell off ray high chair
down among the violins.
“I had been struck with a stool
hurled from the top gallery. I rose and
promptly repeated the song which the
audience desired. From that day to
this 1 have never refused an encore. ’
Another good thing accomplished by
the war is the restoration of economy
to the category of virtues.
