\ GREAT BRITISH ARMY

The British government has an nounceed in parliament its in teutiou to add another million men to the army, making the total strength, aside from militia trained only for service in the British Isles, about 2,2OO,OOO. such a force, for use on land, will be an entirely new weapon for the unit ed Kingdom. It never before had an army equal to ons-quarter of the immense field force which is to be put into action against Ger many.
 An army Of more than 2,00O, 900 men will make Great Britain one Of the foremost military powers of the world as well as the first in naval strength. It will give the British government a tremendous weapon for use on land, and incl dentally it will make the invasion Of the British Isles a problem quite apart from the question of getting transports across the North Sea or the English Channel.
 To obtain another million men for the army it may be found nee essary to resort to conscription. In that case it will make a radical change in the methods relied upon hitherto for building Up the Brit ish army and navy. But a nation Of 4IOOO,OOO, not including self governing and very helpful colo nies which have 13,OOO,OOO white inhabitants, ought to be able to carry the load without much trouble, if the British navy can re- tain control of the sea.
 If Great Britain had an army like that of France, in proportion to the population, there would be at least 100000 men under arms instead of about 1.1OO,OOO, with as many more in prosrect.-Cleveland Leader.

GUARDING AN ARMY
Order of Advance of a Division
 on the March.
TACTICS IN TIME OF BATTLE.
Careful and Elaborate Disposition of the Detached Troops to Secure the Main Body Against Surprise-The Hanks and the Rear Guard.

Hanks and the Rear Guard.
 The civilian in reading stories of
 battles and accounts of marches and at.
 tacks by an army in times of war
 finds many expressions that he does
 not clearly underStand--such, for in-
 stance, as references to independent cavalry. the advance guard. advance cavalry. point and flank patrols. the support. the reserve, the main body,
 flank guard and rear guardS-and it is
 reasonable to believe that there is con
 fusion in many minds as to Signif- canoe and relation of these things" said an army officer.
 Let us assume that a division is on the march, and. by rhe way, a division
 iS the basis in the United States or
 gauizatiOH for the mobile army and is a unit made up Uf all necessary arms and services complete for independent action incident to ordinary operations.
 One or two marches ahead goes the independent cavalry. which seeks to check the enemy'S cavalry and send back information as to the enemy's movements and his intentions This cavalry is so far to the front that 1t could not prevent the enemy slipping ln between it and the following army and could not prevent the enemy's patrol from observing the movement of the troops. Thus other precautions are taken, and one or two marches be- hind the independent cavalry marches the advance guard.
 First in the advance guard is the advance cavalry, commonly one squad ron. which sends ahead a point or leading patrol and sends on both sides to march across country or on roads paralleling the line of march small bodies called fanking patrols. All this is to clear the country of the enemy or give timely notice of his approach or his presence. Four or five miles in the rear of the leading patrol rides the ad. vance party of the advance cavalry.
 Tn the rear of the advance cavalry marches the support, commonly form ed of one regiment of infantry and a mounted detachment of engineers. Five hundred yards ahead of the sup port marches its advance party, com posed of one company, and from 300 to 800 yards ahead of the advance party is its point patrol, and other patrols may be sent out on the Hanks or to places on the line of march where they can get good views of the country.
 About 1000 yards behind the sup port marches the reserve in the fol- lowing order in the United States army: One battalion of infantry, one battalion of artillery. one regiment of infantry, one company of engineers less the detachment with the support an ambulance company and perhaps | detachment of signal troops. One or two miles behind the reserve marches the main body. If danger is suspected on either flank. flank guards are sent put, and they may be mere patrols or ietachments of all arms, according to the requirements of the situation. Be-
