The Squad Why and What
IL Is.

The squad is the integral unit upon
which all collective movements are
based. Soldiers are grouped into SQUADS
OF eight for the purposes of instruction
and discipline; for control as component
Factors in a platoon or company, and for
convenience in executing orders which
may call for a small number OF men.
At the command Fall In" the eight
men line up in two ranks Of four. The
man who stands at the left OF the front
rank is the base of the squad. and II
usually forms upon the position which
he has taken. He Is the squad leader
a corporal-while the other seven men
in the squad are privates.
The corporal gives the commands by
which the squad, when an individual
unit executes its movements II the
squad Is formed with the company, the
captain will give the commands controll-
ing the movements of the squads-as in
Squads Right MARCH" for ex-
ample-out the corporal will repeat to
his own men the preparatory command.

each man places his left hand fat upon
his hip, hand straight downward. fingers

man. except the front and the rear

his head and eyes to the right, and takes
steps Of two or three inches so that his
right arm, hanging in the position OF
attention, will lightly touch the elbow
OF the raised left arm OF the man on his
right; and each man must also take

exists.
All white employees in the zone are
American citizens. The governor has
power to deport any suspicious per,
sons without formallty of trial and
there has been no hesitation in eXer'
clsing that power.
Bombs dropped from aeroplanes

Plans for the establishment of adj
ditIonal naval bases in the waters ad'

possible wars where American fleets
would be matched against those OF
powerful enemy countries in a fight
for control Of the sea. In the pres,
