One peculiar step, known as the .'pa-
rade march," or goose STEP. Is used

The rate Of march Of q detachment.
Of infantry In active service depends
on many factors. including the size OF
the marching body or the length Of the
column. the f-aining, physical condi-
tion and spirit OF the troops, the road
and the weather.

or less intimately with the civil population among
whom typhoid cases were occurring in considerable
numbers.
Owing to the conditions under which soldiers must
live in the field or on the march, the likelihood of
typhoid fever is great In 1888, the time OF the
SpanishAmerican War, 4,422 OF typhoid and PAS
