law. quart OF whiskey can b TO-
ceived only once every thirty days
In both OF these cases the petitioners
have assailed the constitutionality Of
the law on the ground that the title
falls to mention the acceptance or
receipt OF ardent spirits, and. that,
therefore, the act Is broader than its
title. and to that extent Is unconsti-
tutiof.al
The states brief in the Cochran

No. front rank is the guide Of the line, and it is the duty of No. 3 front ranks to follow in the tracks of the corporal, with the rest of the squad guiding on No. 2. eS
 The command for assembling thal squad may be given either as '.as-' sembly. march, or by the corporar4 waving his arm in short circles abov6 Ills head. At the command, stheS1n04 move toward tho corporal. wherever ne has taken his station as base, ana follow him. The assembly, while marching to the rear, is not exeoutsd.
 It will be seen that in deploying ss skirnishes. the precise form of movement prescribed for close order orlll Is not adhered toe A man has more ease and latitude in. carrying out the movements This Is to make speed. While men in close order are compelled to turn corners sharply and hnaneuver, so to speak, in angles, in extended order it would be inefficient TOT a man to turn on an angle to reacn his position when he could make a straight cut for 1t.
 let this in no sense nulltfles the need Tor precision in close order drill. without 1t. troops would become .1opelessly tangled up. and without 1t also there would not be uniformity of movement which would cause mem- pers of a squad in extended order in stinctively to choose the most direct and In that sense, precise-short-cnts m the least possible time. Tn fact. without the close order, they could make no short cuts at all. for they would not know where to turn In or- der to ind their places in the squad.
 Tomorrow's article will make clear the importance of the corporal in the squad in extended order.

The Mailed Fist in Hayti. v (world's work.)

The German noteNwent so far as to state sthat the stmplest solution of they dlf1cultvN would be to include. Germany. and that Germany would not understand any other arrahge- ment. A sS s
 Our state departments answer to this extraordinary German document, was emphatic. In the most unequivo-. cal terms 1t stated that its policy was. not subject to any variation; that neither foreign mercantile interests nor any other interests proceeding from outside of the American Fg hem .isphere could be so extended aS even to constitute a joint control in whole or in part of the government or ad ministration of any independent American state.

When the Squad is Acting Alone in
 Extended Order.
 <. The squad in combat drill Is what night be called subsidiary fire unit.
 The Squad Is not the regulation fire unit-this is the platoon Ione-fourth of company. roughly speaking), as will be explained later. But within a platoon, a closer fire control is often necessary. and to this the squad or- ganization isaadapted Particularly Is this essential to Firing by Squads which Is, under certain circumstances, the most effective way in which the fire can be delivered.
 In addition the squad is most practicable unit for patrol and out post duty, since 1t places a small and flexible body of men in charge of a non-commissioned officer for work which requires discretion and conceal ment. This is not to say that patrol or outpost duty is confined to squads, but 1t Is often subdivided finally upon the squad basis In any event, the squad in extended order drill will jus- tify itself, as we'll as obedience and att tention to the corporal.
 When the squad is depioyed with other squads, the front and rear rank men place themselves abreast the cor porai at half pace intervals, as we have seen, but when the squad is act ing alone the slxirmish line is formed in the same way upon No. of the front rank. No. stands fast in his place or continues the march, as the case may be. Meanwhile, the cor poral places himself in front of the squad when advancing, and in its rear when halted. When he is in line, the corporal is the guide; when hA is not in line-that5 is, when he advances in front of the squad as it's commander
