MORE COMPANY DEVELOPMENTS.

When the company is in column OF
squads, to form the skirmish line to
the front, the command would be, "As
skirmishers, guide right Oeft or cen
teri, MARCH" If then marching, the
corporal of the base squad deploys it
and moves straight to the front; if at
halt, he deploys it without advanc-
ing. If the guide be right Qeft, the
other cOrporals move TO the left (right)
front, and in succession from the base
place their squads on the line. If the
guide be center, the corporals in front
of the center squad move to the right
if at halt, to the rear. The corporals
In the rear of the center squad move
to the left front, and each, in success.
sion from the base, places his squad on
the line.
The company may also ne deployeG
in an obliQue direction, whether in line
or in column Of squads. The captain
points out the desired direction, anc
the corporal Of the base squad moves
in the direction indicated. The other
corpOrals, with their squads, conform.
To form the skirmish line to the flank
or rear, the line or column of squads
is turned by squads to the flank or
rear; it is then deplOyed as described.
The intervals between the men are in
creased or diminished as already de-
scribed in the school of the squad, al
though it may be necessary to add TO
the preparatory command, "Guide
right Cleft or center)."
To assemble a company deployed as
skirmishers, the captain either desig-
mates or takes his post in front of the
element on which the company is to
assemble. At the command, Assemble,
march," the men move promptly
toward the designated point and the
company is reformed in line. If it is
to be assembled by platoons, the pla-
toOns are first conducted to the desig-
mated point by the platoon leaders, and
the company is reformed in line.
The platoons individually may be as
sembled by the command, "Platoons,
assembly, march! ~ This is then exc
cuted by each platoon as described for
the company. But it may also be de-
sired TO assemble certain platoons, one
or more, and this may be accomplished
by the command, "Such platoon(s)-
that is The first and second pla-
toOns," or Lieutenant Blanks platoon"
Assembly, march," The move
ment, as said above, is then executed
by the designated platoon or platoons
as described for the company.
1t must be admitted that deploy-
ments by the company are at first con-
fusing to the new soldier. But If he
attends strictly to his corporal, and re-
members his instruction in skirmish-
ing for the squad, he will have no diff
ficulty. All that devolves upon him
will be to do his individual share, and
this, in practically all cases, is confined
to what he has learned in the school
of the squad. It is for his noncom-
missioned officers to handle the squad
In way to conform with the rest of
the platoon or company. Nevertheless,
the pew soldier-the intelligent Ameri-
can soldier-will want to know why
he is called upon to execute certain
movements, as well as how to negoti-
ate them. This he can readily learn
If, while performing his own duties to
the best Of his ability, he keeps a close
eye upon the composite movement
around him.

Peace Hope Is Gone,
German Foreign Minister
Declares in Interview

Berlin, JAN 16. - DR.. Alfred Zimmer-
mann. the German Foreign Minister,
has informed the Associated Press that
IN his opinion, the Entente reply to
President Wilson's peace note bars the
possibility to the present of further
German steps to bring about peace.
In particular, he said, it precluded
any direct announcement by Germany
OF her peace conditions in answer to the
terms set forth in the latest Entente
note.
DIR. Zimmerman asserted however,
that the answer of the Entente to the
President did not finally and completely
close the door to later efforts for peace
before one side or the other was COM
pletely crushed.
The Entent-s "Big Program"
"The Entente Powers gave out for
themselves big program" said DR..
zimmerman, in answer to a query as
to his opinion on the note to President
Wilson What more is there for Ger
many to say regarding it?"
Now that the Allies have to a GER
tain extent outlined their plans" asked
the correspondent, do you think there
is any possibility of Germany declaring
a peace settlements"
No., replied the Minister, after an
lnstants reflection: Il think we can
do nothing more. We cannot afford to
give the impression that we are chasing
after peace at all costs. After the
Entente Allies have put out this highly
AMBITIOUS program, an announcement
of the firm and moderate German terms
of peace would by contrast probably be
Interpreted by our adversaries as an in
d1catton of weakness and would be used
by them to encourage their people to
light on. Our people would not under
stand any further effort by us for the
tente's declaration. We have to con-
slider public opinion here"

Borough Men Favor
General ''HOme Rule

Representatives of the law commit
tee of the State League of Boroughs
to-day decided to recommend to the
Legislature through their annual con-
vention, to be held here on February
-, the adoption of a resolution to
amend the Constitution to permit a
greater measure of home rule for such
municipalities. The attention of cities
will be called to the proposition so
that if they care to unite they can
do so.
The home rule idea has been grow
ing year by year and a measure with
the object of allowing third class cities
to select their form of government
was defeated by narrow margin in
the House a few years ago.
Under the general proposition the
boroughs, which range in size from
900 to $4,000, would be allowed to
select the form of government suitable
to their local conoItions, resources
and population, within certain pre-
scrlbed limits, the disadvantage of n
system devised for a borough of 5000
to town of 1000 or one of $4,000 be-
ing apparent
Other matters were discussed and
the committee stood for the main
tenance of the borough code instead
of supplemental legislation, urging
that any changes be in the form of
amendments.

Germany Asserts She
Could Not Have Done
Otherwise Than Mobilize

London, Jan. 16.-A semiofficial reply
has been issued in Berlin in regard to
the British authoritative view made
public here on Saturday regarding the
latest German and Austrian notes. This
reply as quoted in an Amsterdam dis
patch to Reuters, says that the charges
made in England regarding German
responsibility for starting the war are
not new but are repetitions of state
ments long ago contradicted. The re-
ply then proceeds to ask a series of
questions in respect to the diplomatic
action of the powers prior to the out
break of the war
1t is asserted among other things that
Germany could not have done otherwise
than order mobilization as Russia's sug-
bunal came, it is said, on the very day
that her mobilization against Austria
Hungary was begun. The reply calls
attention to the concentration camps in
South Africa, the debates in the Russian
Duma on the subject of the treatment of
foreign nationalities in Russia, the
treatment of Jews in Russia and Mo-
hammedans in the Caucasus, the entente
attitude toward Greece and the treat
ment of German prisoners of war in
Russia
Another question asked in the reply
is:
rs not the submarine war merely a
reprisal against the British policy of
Starvation"

Republican Committee

OF the Republican National committee
appointed Ito consider the question of
adopting plans of giving recognition
to and promoting the cooperation of
all elements opposed to the Democra-
tic party" held their first meeting to-
day as special committee. Their
task seemed considerably more diff
cult than when it was given to them
yesterday at the meeting of the eXecu-
tive committee of the Republican ma
tional organization.
Before taking action the members
of the special committee waited for a
more complete explanation of the at
titude of George w. Perkins and Ever
ett Colby, the leading Progressive
members of the Republican national
campaign committee, who last night
declined to attend dinner given to
the members of the executive and
campaign committees by National
Chairman w. r. Wilcox. A state
ment issued by Messrs. Perkins and
Colby, declared that they had taken
this means of showing their protest
against the selection of John Taylor
ADAMS of Iowa, as vice-chairman of
the National committee.
This statement characterized the
election of Mr.. Adams as a deliberate
and wilful reflection upon Chairman
Wilcox and an affront to every pro-
