The origin of the popular phrase,
Before you could say Jack Robinson
has sometimes been attributed to one
Hudson. an old professional wit and
song writer of London. In the peculiar
photography of that early period, the
lines ran:
"A warke it VS. as easie to be done

But A more creditable story is that
told by Lord Eldon in his manuscript
anecdote book. During the debates on
the India bill" he wrote, ''at which pc

INFANTRY ON THE MARCH.
Length of Pace and Speed In the
Armies of the World.

Length of Pace and Speed In the
Armies of the World.
The average rate of march of the
armies of to-day so far as drill is con-
cerned, is about 120 PAGES a minute, or
about two steps a second. However,
there are some small differences In the
different arms, and a few troops are
trained to march at a much higher rate
OF speed.
The Russian soldier takes 112 to ZIG
steps a minute, the German III, the
Austrian 115, the French, Italian and
limited States 120. The French chas-
seurs, however, make 145 and the ltal-
ian Bersagliere 150.
The length of the pace should, OF
course, also be considered. The Rus
sian pace is % inches, the Austrian
291b, the French and Italian 80, while
the German is 3112 and therefore sur
passes all others.
The Russian soldier can therefore
cover in one minute from I'll to 90.2
yards, the Austrian 93.5, the French
and Italian 9S.4, while the German COW
ers more than apy-very nearly 100
yards.
But in modern battle it Is question
of utilizing cover, rapidly moving over
snort intervals from cover to cover,
climbing over hedges and other ebstruc-
tions, more than marching. Witness
the small and agile japanese and the
tall. robust Russians.
Marching power comes Into play In
getting troops into position, but 1t is
usually more staying power than the
capacity to march well at drill or man.
