of the American Army.
One general, however, serves as
Chief of staff of the Army. As
such he supervises all troops and
departments of the military service.
He in turn reports to the Secretary
of War. The Secretary of War in
his turn acts under the general direc-
ton of the President of the United
States, who is the Commander in
Chief.
The chain of authority reaches in
an unbroken line all the way from
the President to the newest recruit
If the President chooses to give an
order which in any way affects the
recruit, ii passes through the Secre-
tary of War, Chief of Staff, major
general, brigadier general, colonel,
major, captain, sergeant and possibly
corporal until the recruit is reached
and the order obeyed.
Ordinarily only the most general
instructions are issued by the higher
officers. The manner in which these
Instructions shall be carried out is
left to the judgment Of officers in
closer contact with the troops and
with a more intimate knowledge of
the conditions under which they are
working.

the commanding officer of a COM

described as assistant captains. In
the absence or disability of the
captain, however, the first lieuten-
ant takes his place and has full
command, and in the absence or dis
ability of both the second lieutenant
takes the command.
Next above the captain Is the
major, whose proper command is a

70 WIN PROMOTION,
MUST PROVE FITNESS

Most OF the men in the Army are
private soldiers. Their work is Of
the greatest Importance and de-
serves all the respect and praise
which it receives. A great many
men in the National Army, however,
will be ambitious to rise to higher
ranks. They will find plenty of en-
enlargement and of opportunities
for promotion.
If you are one of these men, don't
allow yourself to forget the fact that
you can win promotion only by prov
ing your fitness in each duty in
trusted to you. 1t is rare case
when a man is Jumped several
ranks ahead. AS a rule, he climbs
from one rank to the next higher
rank after having demonstrated in
Vt'Ott t'v-tttvt MS fitttiiiScuCe, HOnOT,
and reliability.
Even as a private, you may win
advancement to the grade known as
frst-class privates. About one
fourth of the privates in each COM
pany may be given the rating First
class" which means in substance
that they are regarded as skilled and
trustworthy soldiers.
From the frst-class privates are
usually chosen the corporals. These
are the squad leaders. They are
appointed by the commanding officer
of the regiment on the recommends
ton of the commanding officer of
the company. In addition to the
regularly appointed corporals each
company may have one lance cor
poral. This is temporary appoint
ment made by the company com
mander for the purpose of testing
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1917-09-18

the ability Of some private whom he
is thinking of recommending foI
permanent appointment. In case
the lance corporal does not make a
good showing, or for any other
reason, he may be returned to the
ranks when the commander of the
company sees fit.
Next above the corporal in rank
comes the sergeant. There are us
ually 8 to IL sergeants in company.
Unless n sergeant has some other
duty assigned TO him, he is normally
the leader of q platoon. There are,
however, many special duties con-
5tantly assigned to sergeants. The
first sergeant Tin Army slang, the
stop sergcdnt,") for example, keeps
certain company records, forms the
company in ranks, transmits orders
from the company commander, and
performs many other important
tasks. The supply sergeant sees to
bringing up supplies of all kinds to
the company. The mess sergeant
looks after food The stable SER
geant is responsible for the proper
care of horses and mules. The
color sergeant carries the national
or regimental colors. There are
many other grades within the rank
of sergeant which can not be de-
scribed here. You will gradually be-
come familiar with them during your
army experience.
Sergeants and corporals are
known as nOneommissioned officers,
because they are appointed by their
regimental commanding officer. OF
lcers of higher ranks are known as
commissioned, since they hold their
rank by virtue of commission is

CITIZENS PETITION
FOR ABATEMENT
Of PIONEER SMOKE
MEETING TO BE ARRANGED BE-
TWEEN PETITIONERS COM
pANy OFFICIALS AND MEMBERS
or THE CITY COUNCIL.

Scores of Ottawa citizens in a
signed petition to the Ottawa City
Council this morning asked that some
action be taken to abate the smoke
nuisance of the Pioneer Fire Proof
ing plant.
For two or three months past the
business district of Ottawa has been
filled with smoke and gases that has
made It impossible for storekeepers to
open doors and windows for fear of
damage to their stock of goods, and
househoders have been obliged to
keep their doors and windows closed
in order to make is possible TO re-
main inside of their own inhabitations.
The west side residence district has
been fairly saturated with smoke and
gases, but they have been so use to it
for many years that no organized
kick has been instituted.
The low chimneys and the extreme
low position of the kilns at the
Pioneer plant is responsible for the
smoke pouring into the business and
resident portions of the city. The
/ chimneys are not high enough to
carry the smoke away, and conse
qucntly it rolls up the street like a
blast from a German gas gun. The
same trouble was experienced from
the Northern Illinois Light and Trac
tion Co, years ago but the smoke
stacks were elevated to such a heigh
that the smoke and gas were carried
into the air and no trouble nov
arises from this source.
Members of the council are aliv
to tie situation and will make som
effort to solve the problem and upo
motion of Commissioner Campbell
was proposed to arrange meotin
between the petitioners, the officials q
