OUR MILITARY SYMBOLS.
Insignia That Tell Mans Branch Of
Service and Rank.

In all branches of our military serv-
ice-infantry. cavalry and artillery
the same symbols or insignia Of rank
are used. The corporal, at the bottom
of the scale of officers, is distinguished
from the private by the chevron, con-
sisting of two bars on the right sleeve.
In the case of the sergeant, next high
est in rank, the chevron is of three in
verted V shaped bars. All enlisted
men, including these noncommissioned
officers, wear on one side of their coats
or blouses bronze button with the
number of their organization, and in
relief crossed rifles for the infantry,
and crossed cannon for the artillery.
Coast and field artillerymen may be
distinguished by the fact that in the
case of the former in addition to the
cannon there is a shell at the point of
intersection of the cannon.
The second lieutenant, lowest in
rank of the commissioned officers, may
be disting uished from the enlisted
man, despite the fact that he wears no
insignia on his shoulder straps, by the
gold marking on his collar This sym
Dol, as in the case of the enlisted men,
is of crossed rifles, sabers or cannon.
according to the branch of the service,
and is Worn by all regimental officers.
On the other side of the collar are the
letters u. s. in gold. Infantry Off
bo ;ct; f,,n,,, Tho
enlisted men by the fact that the lat
ter wear canvas leggins, While the Off
GERS have tan leather leggins.
First lieutenants have a silver bar on
their shoulder straps. while captains
have two bars. OF the field officers
the major wears gold leaf, the lieu
tenant colonel silver leaf and the
colonel a silver spread eagle The
brigadier general has one silver star.
and the jor general, the highest Off
Ger in our army at present, has two
silver stars.
The campaign hats-broad brimmed
felt hats with stiff brims-afford an.
other clew to the arm to which the
wearer belongs. The hats of all en-
listed men are alike. but the hat cord
around the crown reveals by it's color
the branch of the service to which the
man belongs. A blue cord signifies in
fantry, a yellow cord cavalry and red
cord artillery, either coast or field. The
men OF the quartermaster's corps have
buff. the engineering corps red and
white, the signal corps orange and
white and the hospital corps maroon
and white hat cords. Officers of all
branches wear gold and black hat
cords, the insignia on their collars be-
ing the only Indications of rank.
The insignia of the quartermaster's
corps is winged wheel crossed by a
key and sword. of the engineering
corps three turrets and of the signal
corps crossed flags. There are a few
other emblems, but these are the most
important.-NewY York Sun.

ZONE OF The ADVANCE"

This is the third zone of the operations
of the Red Cross and embraces every
thing from the head of the rail trans
portation to No-Man' STAND.
The system by which the wounded are
removed from the battlefield and trans
ferred to the rear is known by the mill
tary term of "Evacuation of the Wound
ed In the operations of this system
there are successive steps involved. The
first step in transporting a wounded man
to the rear, will be to give him first aid
at some battalion or regimental aid sta
ton. From this point he is transported
further to the rear, usually to some place
selected because of its security from ar
tillery fire, and known as a Dressing
Station" Here men are more carefully
examined and their wounds dressed. From
this point they are transported by animal
drawn vehicles where the roads are very
poor, or by motor ambulances where the
roads are favorable, to the head OF rall
transportation where field hospitals are
either set up, or private buildings are con-
verified, into. temporary hospitals. Here
the men receive the first general atten-
tion these field hospitals being equipped
with everything that it is reasonably pos
sible to transport in the field. They are
supplied with cots, blankets and operat-
ing apparatus for emergency cases, and
here for the first time the soldier may ex-
pect stimulants in the way of broths and
and other delicacies if it is possible for
him to be fed. From this point those
who can stand transportation are trans
ported by rail back to the base hospitals.
Along this line of rail communication
rest stations are necessary where men
are fed and provided with stimulants In
the case of the United States we may
reasonably expect that most of the cases
will be held at base hospitals in France
until they are convalescent, when they
will probably be furloughed home on sick
leave.
