ARMY POST FIRES.
Why They Are lnfrequent and the WAY
They Are Handled.

They Are Handled.
Perhaps the low percentage OF fires
In the army is directly due to the fact
that guard duty is never suspended.

One Of the first charges in guards

is occupied by humanity is to warn

eral alarm. And when the fire call Is
blown by the trumpeter at the main

garrison. except the guard, Is COM
