SIGNALING AT SEA.
HOW NAVAL COMMANDERS TALK
ACROSS MILES OF WATER.

The WiSwng and the Code Flags Are
Used by Day and Colored Lights by
Night-A New System Which Has Been
Adopted.
When an admiral on his flagship
wishes to give orders to the captains OF
his feet, there are half dozen methods
by which be may do his talking across
miles of water without once Stacking
his speed over the broad highways OF
the sea.
The one most frequently used in the
daytime is known as the wigwag sys-
tenn. 1t is simple, effective and pictur-
esque. Sailors with signal flags mount
ed on hand stats stand on the ships

he makes the most of the government
ration, is careful of his drinking water,
trenches his tent properly and retains
his health in almost any climate.
But most important of all is the dis
cipline, for no matter how vigorous IA
soldier is he is not useful unless he can
be controlled with prompt exactness
An army is machine and every man
is part OF the machine, allowing for
the intelligence of the individual at
that
The shrewder, keener, the more
thoughtful each man in the machine is
so much the better. The intelligence of
the individual might be characterized
as the temper of that part Of the ma
chine which the man constitutes. But
still the army is machine which is
ideally perfect when it is under perfect
control.
That desirable coordination of all
parts of an army is only secured when
every soldier is soaked and saturated
with the idea of discipline. 1t is some
thing little harder for the freeborD
American to attain than for any other
kind of man. Your American is prone
to criticise, to judge. to complain. He
isn't exactly insubordinate or unruly,
but is as free of thought and speech as
he is of birth.
1t takes him longer to control his
feeling of independence than it does the
man of less Independent notions, and
the machine Of our army is a little Ion
ger getting its finish on that account,
but at last it is the finest army on
earth, because the first difficulty that it
bore, just mentioned, makes Tor fineness
of temper.
This last perfect state COMES when
the soldiers response to any command
any kind of an order, so long as it is
given by one who has a right to com.
mand is instantaneous and thoroughly
instructive. When the volunteer arrives
at this stage, he has learned not only
chow to stand upon his feet, but chow
to play the game, - and man for man
he is the equal of any soldier on earth
and the superior of most.

waited day in and day out for months
before its roots are firmly fixed III the
top soil of your cerebellum. The port
and presence of the soldier are nothing
more than habit.
The national guardsman of week or
SO ago, now member of Uncle Sam S
volunteer army, may have imagined
himself a soldier then, but now be
knows the difference The weekly drill!
and the annual week in camp taught
him the mere rudiments of the business.
Now he is really learning something
about it.
The seasoning period i'll the state
camps for which the army authorities
have arranged is wise and merciful
provision. There is deal more to sol
diering than the knowledge of how to
present arms or execute Il right shoulder
shift. For one thing the recruit must
learn how to live soldier fashion. The
pampered civilian, accustomed to steam
heat and feather beds must learn to
live in the open. He has got to get rid
of some of the softness with which civ

and bark back to the borderlands Of
barbarism. The novelty Of life in Sib-
| hey tent is no charm against the pneu-
monia and typhoid which camp Oh the
trail Of the city bred soldier. With care
both can be avoided, and the recruit
needs to learn the lesson early in the
| game.
| He has, too, to encounter the results
of changed occupation. The young
man whose daily task has been nothing
more severe than the handling of set
of double entry books from an office
stool perch finds his muscles aching
after he has tramped up and down on
guard duty for a couple Of hours carry
ing 10 pound rifle and a 80 pound kit,
but if he is made of the right stuff,
and he probably is, he doesn't COM
plain and i'll little while finds nothing
to complain Of.
But there is one feature of soldering
that is not mastered so easily. This is
the iron bound discipline of the army.
Being born and bred free citizen of a
free republic he is somewhat staggered
when for the first time he realizes all
that the aristocracy of the shoulder
strap means for him. His first gaze into
the wide abyss which separates the
private from the officer is apt to be an
astonishing revelation.
At the annual encampments he has
only laughed at the assumption of airs
by the regimental officers. For the
authority that would end with the week
he cared not, but the authority which
is to hold sway for months and perhaps
years is distinct and serious PROPOSE
ton.
He finds that young Jones, whom he
helped elect captain of his company,
from being comrade approachable at
any and all times has become an auto
crat to whom he must touch his car

when it down he finds that the taste
left in the mouth is not bad; that he
still retains his own self respect.
While he is being seasoned, mentally
and physically the setting up process
about which we hear SO much goes
steadily on. He is taught how to stand
on his feet, rest on his hips and hold
his chin. When he has acquired the
pose Of soldier, he is ready for the
special drills belonging to the branch OF
the service of which he is a part.
If he goes into the infantry, he has
| to learn the marchings and faclngs tie
is drilled in squads, by fours, by two
sets Of fours, by three sets OF fours ana
SO en-, until he can do his work as a
member of large body. Then be has
to learn the manual Of arms. Ii he goes
into the cavalry, he has to be drilled III
the use of the saber, revolver and car
bine and taught how to ride. Also he
has to get some knowledge Of tho horse $
anatomy. If he is to be q light artillery
man. he has to learn good parg OF the
cayalrymen's duties and drills, i'll addl-
ton to finding out how to handle the
tieldpeces If he is a heavy artillery
man, besides being taught the use or
the big guns he must be taught much
that an infantryman has to learn, Tor
he will be armed with a rifle, and part
of his work is purely infantry work.
Next he must learn to economic his
strength when possible and put forth
all his reserve power when necessary
One by one the complex needs OF civil
liked life must be Topped off. Just now
it is probable that his feminine friends
and relatives have numbered him up
with all sorts of alleged comforts.
| When he goes south, he will begin to
get rid of them, and his trail will be
strewn with discarded knickknacks.
After his first 20 mile march he Will
conclude that if he is going to be sol
der he cannot be a pack horse.
Another lesson of self preservation
vet awaits him. When he gets away
from the latitude and longitude OF
home, be must learn to stick to the ar

ing and drinking everything that comes

tite and glorious thirst, it is hard for
him to be discreet, and, as kipling says,

means one, and by combining the figures

Then there is the international signal

the signal to Commence firing would
be as follows: White pennant with red
dot, red rectanele with yellow cross,

white pennant with red spot blue rec
tangle with red bar in white center, red
pennant with white spot, rectangle with
yellow and blue blocks. All signals are
read from the top down.

for each combination means "A great
deal. Five flags in a certain position
represent so many letters, which it may
require so words to translate.
At night lights take the place of
flags. Up to short time ago the Ar
dois system of fixed electric lights was
i'll general use. In this four electric
lights are strung along the rigging Of
either the foremost or aftermast of a
warship. in the more modern ships
they are along the foremost, and the
lights are operated from the bridge.
Each one Of these lights can be made to
show red or white, and an infinite mum
Der Of combinations is possible
But recently the Ardois system was
abandoned by the navy, and many Of
the warships have since been equipped
with what are known as telephotos.
The telephotos is, as its name implies,
a system Of light telegraphy. and it is
at once the most powerful, accurate and
simple appliance yet devised for the
transmission Of orders and signals from
ship to ship at night under any and all
conditions Of water, wind and weather.
BY means of the telephotos any mes
sage, letter, cipher order or code signal
can be sent from a flagship to any and
all vessels within visual range, and by
another telephotos on another ship can
be repeated or the answer flashed back.
All of this, too, can be done by an OPP
orator standing before little instru-
ment that looks like the pinnacle of a
yacht and playing set of keys within
its hood marked with letters like those
of typewriter and pressed in almost
the same manner.
The part of the telephotos that dis
plays the message to the other ships
consists of string of four lanterns
hung vertically from the yard or mast
Of the vessel, the lanterns being about
ID feet apart Each lantern is double

the other, one white and one red, and
both OF the most powerful lens form.
Inside of each is separate group of in
candescent electric lamps.

of the telephotos is G. V. Boughton Of

NEW FRENCH MILITARY RIFLE.
Great European Powers Have Poorer
Weapons than Holland

Great European Powers Have Poorer
Weapons than Holland.
The national small arms factories
have received orders to be ready at a
moments notice to begin the manufac-
turing of rifles Of a new model. says
the London Morning Post. Two new
weapons have been tested by the chief
officers of the Normal Firing School
and have been found superior to the
modified Lebel rifle now in use. Their
ballistic qualities are, it appears,
marvelous. The publication Of this
item OF intelligence is probably due to
the announcement that the German in
fantry is to be rearmed with new rifle
OF six millimeters caliber, far and
away superior to the present weapon
OF 7.9 millimeters. It is not, however,
believed in Paris that this change is
likely to be made in the immediate
future, as the cost would be enormous,
but 1t is thought to be as we'll to show
that attention is being paid to eff
cient armament on this side of the
Rhine as we'll as on the other. When
Germany begins manufacturing so will
France.
The present French rifle is consid-
cred to be slightly superior to the pres
ent German one. The Lebel weighs
kilogrammes $50 grammes and
throws a 15-gramme projectile 5000
meters with an initial velocity of 63S
meters per second. The cartridge con-
tains 2.75 grammes of powder, the
smoke from which is invisible at 200
yards. The trajectory is nearly
straight for the first $50 yards. The
German weapon is of slightly smaller
caliber 0.S millimeters instead of 8
millimeters). The rifling of the bar
rel is not deep enough, which dimin-
ishes the precision and force of pene-
tration. The useful range is not great
er than that of the Lebel and the speed
is only 620 meters per second.
Curiously enough it is not the great
European powers which possess the
best rifles, but Holland, Denmark and
Norway. The two latter use the Krag-
Jorgensen, which is very superior
weapon, though some authorities con-
slider the caliber, 65 millimeters, too
small. The projectile only weighs 10
grammes and is nickel plated. The
Dutch weapon is a Mannlicher of great
precision and long range. The initial
velocity Of its bullet is the highest ye
reached, being 740 meters per second.
