ORIGIN OF BRITISH SQUARE
Battle Formation First Used by
Scotch Troops at the Battle Of
Bannockhurn.

The greatest of all Scotch anniver.
saries is that of Bannocburn, fought
on midsummer day in the year 1914.
Apart from its bearing on the indie.
pendence of Scotland, the battle will
always have an exceptional interest
from the military point of view, as
Bannockburn may be said to have
been the birthplace of the British
square. proud Edwards" army
mainly consisted of cavalry, while
that of the Scots, on the other hand.
was almost exclusively composed of
foot-folk, armed with the spear. and
these Bruce threw into ''schiltroms, p"
or Oblong squareS-a formation Dor
rowed by Wallace from the Flemings,
who had employed it with success at
Courtray-to resust the charge of the
English cavalry.
Hitherto the mounted mail-clad
knight had carried everything before
him, but Courtray and Bannockburn
proved that he was powerless to
break resolute, spear-armed infantry
drawn up in "schiltrom' or hedgehog
formation, and these two battles revo-
lutionized the tactics of the continent
and of our own island. Profiting by
the lesson which had been taught
them at Bannockburn the English ap-
piled the tactics of the Scots with
brilliant success at Crecy, and still
more at Agincourt. AS it was the
Scots who may be said to have orig
mated the British square at Bannock
burn, so it was they again who at
Balaclava were the first to discard
it with their thin red line" and now,
owing to our changed conditions OF
warfare, it is discarded altogether.

is to do. He has a good revolver"
Logotheti let her clap her hands
and send the steward for her man,
and she rose when he appeared and
made him follow her little way
along the deck. The interview did not
last long. She handed him her glasses
and made him look carefully at the
intended victim; then she apparently
repeated her brief instructions again,
pointing here and there to the deck
at her feet, to show him how they
were to stand; after which she turned
quietly, came back to Logotheti's side
and sat down again.
'He understands" she said. ut will
be quite easy"
But Logotheti, looking past her as
she came forward, had met Spiro's
eyes; and he felt not even the slight.
est anxiety for Kralinsky's safety, nor
for Barakas. He was still wondering
what he should say to Margaret.
At distance, Logotheti had sup
posed that he could somehow account
to the diva for the position in which
he had foolishly placed himself. be.
cause he had done nothing and said
nothing that he would have been
ashamed of before her, if she knew
the whole truth; and he fancied that
even if they quarreled she would
make up with him before long, and
marry him in the end. He had a good
opinion of himself as a desirable hus.
band; and with reason since he had
been prosecuted for years with offers
of excellent marriages from mothers
OF high degree who had daughters to
dispose of. And beneath that convic.
ton there lurked, in spite of him, the
less worthy thought, that singers and
actresses were generally less squeam
ish than women of the world about
the little entangiements of their in
tended husbands.

Minneapolis, March 9.-Towns and
villages held elections throughout
Minnesota. In most of the towns the
issue was that of wet" or dry"
The question at issue in the towns
was whether high license liquor legis
lation should prevail, or whether alb.
solute prohibition should be the rule
The returns furnished little upon
which judgment can be based as to
the general trend of sentiment thru.
out the state. For the most part, the
results show little change in senti
ment in the towns.
The western and northwestern pcr.
tons of the state, for the most part,
showed a prevalence of dry" senti
ment, while in the central and north.
eastern parts of the state, the tend.
ency was to vote license.
Interest in Excelsior.
In Hennepin county, greatest inter.
est attached to the contest in Excel
sior, where the fight was spirited.
There was the largest vote here in
the history of the town, the "drys"
carrying by vote of six.
By singular coincidence the candi-
dates supported by the wet" faction,
with one exception, were all elected,
indicating there is a tendency in the
town to wink at possible violations of
the law
