A Single Corps WIN stretch Out Over "a
NiIes ef Koad.
Few persons have any notion OF the
vast length ri an army on the march.
A single battalion of infantry, 1000
strong-which is the strength Of an
English battalion-takes up a road
length OF SIS yards, including about so
yards for stragglers. A battery Of field
artillery takes up 2eo yards. and reg
iment Of cavalry takes up. when
marching four abreast, $50 yards. An
army corps. with its staff. wagons.
guns, hospitals. etc. would extend
over tnilty-four miles OF road. An
army marches slowly on the best of
roads It is much more firing march
ing In a crowd than walking alone.
Soldiers go at the rate of about two
and one-half or two and three-quarter
miles an hour, and in the English ar
my they do good days march when
they cover l3 miles. This accounts for
the fact that when news is printed Of
an army marching to attack surprise
Is expressed that the attack is delayed
so long. II takes day or more for all
the men to assemble on the battle
field
The rates of march for the various
arms differ. OF course: but the fartest
arm has to suit It's pace to the slow
est. Here are the English official
rates: Infantry In small bodies, three
miles an hour; infantry in large
bodies. two and a half to two and
three-quarter miles; cavalry. Walking.
four miles: cavalry. trotting, nine
miles: cavalry. galioping. 15 miles; ar
tillery. walking. three miles: artillery.
trotting. eight miles In our army the
average march for infantry is from is
TO 20 miles a day. When troops move
in large bodies. and particularly in the
vicinity of the enemy. the march is
conducted in several columns SO as To
diminish the depth of the column and
TO expedite the depioymenf into line
OF battle. In large commands the
roads. II possible. are left TO the artli-
lery and trains. when long distances
have to be covered rapidly. it is done
by changing gaits- The most favorable
ground is selected for the double time,
but care is taken not to exhaust the
troops Immediately before engaging
the enemy.

Half-heartedness never wins In this
world. II n thing is not worth doing
do not do 1t. is good rule. The late
Robert Louis Stevenson was always
an enthusiast in whatever he under
took. even when at play. His step
daughter. Mrs. Isabel Strong. who was
for a time his amanuensis. says that
Stevenson used to maintain that no
one could write a good story who was
not good play-who could not enter
fully into the spirit of the game. He
himself threw all his energies into
whatever he might be PLAYING. At one
time he was visiting house where a
small boy was playing boat on the
sofa. When the lad got tired he did
not wait for the ship to come to port.
