rum next Tuesday morning April "a,
at o'clock, to launch a statewide
campaign for the increased product

America people as being so especially
necessary in the South
These delegates, appointed and

counties for taking immediate steps
suited to every locality. Then after
securing the planting of increased
acreage in food crops the delegates
in each county will organize commu-
nifty market bureaus for the purpose
of insuring the farmers rapid and
advantageous sale of their products.
Plans for holding the Macon meet

Germany against civilization and which will be written forever on the books of humanity grows because Germany wills it so. The murders of innocent non-combatants on land and sea are added to with appalling regularity. If there are those w1o wonder why the world Is rapidly turning against German militarism and Kultur they need but ponder these things. They need but look to the announcement made by the Inn perial Government. that it intends to sink all hospital ships in the barred zone. ships laden with the sick and dying, and gallant young women who have sacrificed their lives to care for the wounded. No ship is safe from a German submarine whether that ship any other insignia of mercy, providing the ship is not aligned with Prussian- ism. The day of peace is not at hand, no matter how much peace talk floods the air. The da: of peace can never come until a militarism that wages war in this ignoble fashion is wiped forever from the face of the earth. And America must waste no more time in preparing to wage as relent' less a war against this monster as is permissible under our form of ethics. We cannot stoop to the level Of bar barians; but we can drive barbarism from the world.

THE PLATOON.

IN THE PRECEDING ARTICLES on the School of the Company, the Platoon has purposely been left out of consideration and tho attention connned to the Squad and Company. rho reason was that the principles upon which. Platoon movements are executed are based on. those of the Squad and Company: for the Pla- toon. consisting Of from two to four Squads, is simply a Company on & reduced scale, or a Squad on an en- larged scale. and is handled, gener- ally speaking, accordingly. Moreover, when the new, soldier, after drill in the School of the Squad, is first placed in tho School of the. Company, he is. taught the application of his Squad movemen in Company for nation, and this supplies the natural connection between Squad and Com- pany revolutions.
 The Platoon, as has been said be- fore, is to the Company what the Company is to the Battalion, In a war strength company, there are four Platoons, and in either a peace or war strength battalion, there are four Companies. It Is therefore ap- parent that such movements as ssCom- pany Right (Left)" which are for the purpose of throwing column of Companies into line of the Battalion. are simulated with "Platoons Right
 (Left)" by turning the Platoons on Fixed Pivot into a line of the Com pany.
 As pointed out in connection with "Compa1y Right (Deft)" the move. ment is the same in principle as Squad Right (Left)"; but since . Platoon consists of two, three or foul Squads (we shall assume hereafter that the Platoon Is at the wal strength of four Squads, or thirty. two men,) in such points as thu rules vary between Squad and Com pany Right the Platoon follows thu
 rules for the Company.

BARBARIsM IN FULL SWING.

When a scheme to devastat1 the grain fields of Germany by dropping fire-bombs from ,airplanes was recent
 ly announced and advocated by an ,Engl,sh army ofiicer the best thought
 of the country drew back in horror.
 to the innocent non-combatants of
 dermany in this way is too great a
 sin. The German, Imperial Govern men has now announced that it inc
 tends to sink all hospital ships fin
 the entire barred zone, and in the mediterranean The exception made
 is so contrary to all international law, so' contrary to the principles Of navi- gation. that it can bs dismissed at
 once as preposterovs On the same day that the world learned of this an- !, nouncement from the German govern
 ment it read of the latest air raid over England when a great number of
 men. women and children were killed by bombs dropped from airships.
 hlllln8 1uNVC0Ak "S sinking the. ships on which they travel; killing them by dropping bombs upon their heads and homes; killing them by any method has no excuse. There might be some differ ence in the crime of sending nurses and wounded soldiers to the bottom by sinking hospital ships and the crime of killing men and women who are ordinarily able to take care of themselves-whethe the latter are killed by bombs from the sky or tor pedoes from the sea. In, the eyes of the civilized world the sin is almost unforgiveable. There is nothing to be l gained from a military standpoint by | the commission of such outrages. The men and women killed in Eng
 land last Saturday were half mile

stead of two, as formerly, lis that modern battle conditions have dAna- onstrated that from 20 to 35 rifles arc as many as can be effectively cons trolled by one leader. The Platoon ia therefore the Fire Unit as we shall see when we take up Extended Order drili for the Company.
 The Platoons are commanded as follows: The Platoon on the rieht, of the line by the First Lieutenant; the Platoon, at the left of the line, by the Second Lieutenant: the PlA. toon at right center, by the First Sergeant; and the Platoon at lSft center. by the Sergeant next in rank.
 Each Platoon has Sergeant Tor Guide. and the File Closers are dls- tributed according to their posts he- hind the line of the Company. TIA Musicians march as File Closers with the First Platoon.
 The Platoons are numbered con- secutively from Right to Left, and these designations do not change. Since the Platoon is the Fire Unit, tt4 usefulness Is most apparent in Ex- tended Order; but it is also frequent ly employed in marches, on the pa- rade ground, or in the armory. In parades through the streets of a city,
 
 a company front of sixty-four mon would generally be impossible; alsos a company front of thirty-two, or two Platoons, is frequently too wide. The column of Platoons formation. therefore, of a war strength company would give front sixteen men widn. and this would accommodate itself to streets which were too narrow for the two Platoon front. I Nevertheless, in garrison or cers- monies, tho strength of Platoons may. if desirable, exceed four Squads. Th9t 1 is under such circumstances. the Company might be divided into twp Platoons of eight Squads each. Tomorrow's article will describe va- rious Platoon movements.

Defense to sacrifice the privileges of the coal miners says:-
 ''This great, patriotic and solid or ganization of the workers in the basic industry of the war stands ready to dig from the earth all the coal that could possibly be used for all the possible needs of the Nation. Figuratively and yet accurately speak ing, it can bury the whole land in coal Q foot deep. It is able and eager to double all records in tho 1t is given the necc~cary facilities. and the right spirit of CO., operation and help"
 If, as stated, the limited Mine Work CTS of America. arc "able and eager to double all records in the produce ton and distribution of coal,' and there is little doubt these men are able and eager" to double this rec ord, the nation must rejoice. For the compelling forces of America will not allow the National Council of De- fense. or any other body to interfere with these men in their determine tion to give all their help. The Pres- ident of the United States will not permit for one moment the .curtail- ment of their powers. The United Mine Workers are powerful in their field. The United States Government knows that. is aware of their wonder full organization. It will watch with interest the. outcome of this asser- tiop of President White of the mine workers.
 But there must be no imaginary wrongs to stop the .coal miners in their work. This Is no time for agi- tation. This is no time for the pro- fessional agitator. As yet there has been no infringement on the rights of organized labor, no invasion of the rights of the United Mine Workers of America. In fact, the situation is just the opposite, The Committee on Coal ProductioA part of the National Council of Defense. has urged the ut most care in dealing with the coal miners. This committee has taken the right step and asked that the workers in the mines be exempted from military service. There are many able bodied men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one working in the great mines of the nation. Some of these would make the finest soldiers Uncle Sam could send to the firing line; but they arc more valuable where they are. dig- sing the precious coal that must be used In the many activities of the and by the private fami- lies. By keeping them at work, by allowing them to expend their un- questionable energy the price of coal the coming year will undoubtedly come back to a reasonable stage.
 At present the United Mine Work CTS of America have no special grievances against their employers.
 
 For the moment, all the petty dinif entities have been patched up, or passed by. The last great strike helped to alleviate the trouble over hours and pay. So. this great or xanixation of workers in what Mr. White rightfully terms the basic in- dustry of the war; should not only stand ready, but actually "dig from the earth all the coal that could pos sibly be used for all the possible needs of the Nation.' Having set about to do that . grateful people will pay homage where 1t rightfully belongs. during and after the war. It is duty that now calls.
