Platoon Commands.

When the company Is in line. to
form columns of platoons, the COM
mand Is. 'Platoons right Neft." This
is executed by each platoon as in the
school of the company.
The right flank men in the front
rank of each platoon face TO the right
in marching and mark time. The 9TH
er front rank men oblique 20 the
right, place themselves abreast of the
pivot men, and mark time. In the
rear rank, the third man from the
right in each platoon followed in COL
umn by the second and firsD moves
straight to the front until in the rear
of his front rank man. Then all three
face to the right in marching and
mark time. The remaining men of
the rear rank move straight to the
front for four PAGES, obliQue to the
third man. cover their file leaders and
mark time.
Before executing this movement
with platoons, the captain makes it a
point to see that the guides on the
Hank toward which the movement is
to turn are covering-that Is. are in
a straight row. so that the pivot men.
whose positions are governed by those
of the guides. will also be in a
straight row. which will bring the
platoons into a precise column. This
is effected by previously announcing
the guide to that flank.
Following the command. 'Platoons
right Qeft). march" the concluding
command IS to the company as a
whole-"Forward, march," or Com
pany, halt"
Being in columns of pIatoons. to
change direction. the command is.
Column right 0eft, march At the
preparatory command, the leader of
the first platoon gives right turn. y
At march," the leading platoon
turns to the right on a moving pivot ;
then Its leader commands Forward.

Willard TO Retire
FROM ring, IS REPORT
Duties as Proprietor Of Circus Toe
Big to Permit Time for Ring.

New York. June 25.-Apparently
4 tuli-Srown riot has been started in
tn, firm Of Jess Willard. Tom Jones
and Jack Curley. engaged in the lucra-
tive business OF commerCializing the
heavyweight championship of the
world. Before the end is reached 1t
seems as II both sides will have
brought legal guns into action. Its
{ been some time since Willard has had
a hght-tfteen months to be exact
/ hut 1t looks as If he has a heated
squahole on his hands now
1t Is reported that Willard has been
dissatisfied with the way Jones and
, Curl"y have been handling his af-
iairs. ii" Is quoted as having said
that they didn't get enough work for
him to do. Whom he purchased a cir
Gus few weeks ago he decided that
| he didn't have any more use for a
| couple OF managers, and evidently
determined to join the now popular
contract with Jones and Curley.
1t seems that Just as soon as Jones
found out how the wind was blowing
he Immediately closed negotiations
| for Willard to box Fred Fulton. and
COnsummated some motion picture
contracts for the champion. Curley
has stated that he and Jones are de-
! termined to make Willard live up to
these agreements. and that, as their
/ contract with the champion does not
expire until September 10 of this year
| they Will bring action against him
! for heavy damages IN case he proves
! obduratc and refuses to sanction the
| arrangements made for him.
! All of which has given birth to the
! rumor that Willard has definitely de-
| cided to retire from the ring: that he
| reached this decision Mt the same time
| he decided to purchase the circus.
| 1t seems that now that JESS has
addled himself with a business that
will demand his personal attention at
all times during the seas IN il will be
impossible for him to devote any time
or serious consideration TO a prospec-
tive fight, even though II be but a
ten round exhibition bout
| There is remote possibility that
once the circus season ends Jess may
be coaxed into the ring by a hiG purse.
but certain It is that it will have to
be big bait to get him. From now
on his demands will probably be more
! unreasonable than ever. 1t is hardly
likely that he will consider anything
less than $4,000 win. lose or draw for
! his end. and there is no opponent
within immediate range who looms
up as a strong enough contender for
| the heavy weight championship to
warrant promoters entering the hid
ding for bout when the champions
| demands amount to more than the
prospective receipts,

AT PRESS GATHERING

Standing under entwined Belgian

LeclercQ, of the Belgian army, gave
brilliant account OF the tive-to-one
resistance of the little kingdom to the
Teuton hordes, in an address at the
National Press Club last night. Gen.
LeclercQ was accompanied by Baron
Moncheur, Minister Marchienne and
two members of his staff. He was
introduced by Gus G.. Karger to a
large audience, which applauded the
speaker loudly.
The recital of Gen. Lcclercq was
thrilling at times, and his description
of the now reorganized Belgian army
of 100000 men, valiantly holding twen-
ty-two miles of trench on the battle
front, was intensely interesting to the
audience. The conquest by Belgian
troops of German territory in African
territory one-half the size of Prus-
sia, was graphically outlined.

A little town Of Southern Oregon,

in the United States-probably the
only one in the world-operated by
carbonic acid gas, the kind familiarly
used In soda water. The town alarm,
formerly bell, is now a whistle and
1t is blown by gas pumped into the
town from a distant well under heavy
pressure, to make an effervescent
water. A two-inch pipe connects the
gas line with the whistle on top of
the fire hall, and the former bell rope
Is used to operate a valve which ad-
mits the compressed gas to the whis-
