 The New Britain coal dealers, hav- ing made no public explanation or de- fense of their attitude in the letter car x riers' coal affair, it seems reasonable to presume that they still stick to their guns,-that- is to say the public be damned"
 I would like to add one more illus tration. I heard it rumored that one of our factories that, by the way, bought seed potatoes and fertilizer and sold same to their help at cost, con- templated buying coal in carload lots and disposing of 1t in the same way. In order to verify thia. approached

EACH MAN SHOULD
 BE READY ON JUNE 5
Careful Study of Fac Simile of Regis- tration Cards Printed in News
 papers Win Expedite Matters.

r
 The general committee of six. with Mayor Quigley, will meet in the mayors office this evening at 5 o'clock for further discussion on the ways and means of the registration on June 5. The chief registrars of each Of the six wards will meet with this general committee.
 1t has been suggested by members of the committee that it might ex- .pedtte matters on June if eligible men would clip from any one of the current datlies that have published a fac simile of the registration blank. and then fill in the questions at home where they can give each one due thought and consideration. Coming to the registration booth armed with this accurate data they could read off the replies quickly and easily and thus make the work easier and more speedy for themselves and the regis trars.
 There have been numerous ques- tions propounded to the city clerk by out of town men and also by friends of men who are i'll, relative to regis tering. The rules in reference to the items are briefly: Go to the place of registration in your own ward be- tween the hours of a. m. and 9 p. m. on June 5. If you expect to be ab- sent from home on June15 go at once ito the clerk of the couQty you happen to be in. or if in q citN of 900 or more go to the city clerk, and get in-s structions from him. If a person who ought to be registered is too i'll to visit the booth he should send com potent friend and the clerk may depu- tize him to prepare the card. People should not forget that the burden Is upon the person to be registered and 1t is his duty to register. rather than the duty of the registrars to see that he registers. When the census is over 1t will be the duty of certain officials to ferret out. those who have proved themselves to be slackers and see that they are brought to justice.

DEPICTING THE COMPANY IN
 LINE

The Base Squad. as we saw yester- day, deploys as. soon as it has a sufficient interval. and the other Squads of the Company are deployed as soon as they reach the general line. but if tactical considerations de mana 1t, Squads may be deployed be- fore reaching the line. Otherwise, each. Corporal when he reaches the line and gives the command, or sig nals with his arm. "As Skirmishers. |" His Squad thereupon deploys and halts abreast of him.
 An orderly progress of the whole line is of first importance and for this reason the deployed Squads preserve general alignment toward the Guide. Nevertheless, the different Squads. within their respective fronts advance according to how best they may progress. owing to peculiarities of the ground. or the possibility of cover. On halting, the men in all cases face to the front, which Gin Combat or Extended order) is always the direction of the enemy Even when Squad marches to the rear, it faces to the front immediately upon the halt. At the halt. also, the mon must take advantage of cover-by lying down if no more complete cover is available.
 Being in line, to form Skirmish LAne to the Front. the command Is as follows: t.As Skirmishera. Guide Right Cleft or Center), MARCH," If marching, the Corporal of the Base Squad deploys it and moves straight to the front. When his Squad has ad- vanced to the point on which the Cap tain desires to form the Skirmish Line, the Captain commands, "Com- pany HALT" The Squad then halts and the other Squads halt on the same line.
 If the Guide is Right (Left), the other Corporals move to the Left (Right) front, and in succession from the base place their advance to the left front; if the Guide is Right-ob- scrve-the Squad must advance to the left front; if the Guide Is Left, then to the right front. If the Guide be Center, the other Corporals move to the right or left front, according as they are on the right or left of the Center Squad, and in succession from the Center Squad place their Squads on the line.
 If at halt, the Base Squad is de- ployed without advancing. The other Squads are then conducted to their proper places by the Flank. Interior Squads may be moved when Squads more distant from the Base have gained comfortable marching distance. That Is to say, while the Squads de- ploy in succession, according as they are near the Base, 1t Is necessary first for the other Squads to clear a front for them by marching off on the Flank.
 At this point it may be explained that, as in the Close Order drill at- tention has so far been confined to the Company and the Squad, without reference to the Platoon. This has been to avoid confusion. As a xen- eral principle, however, it may be said that the rules for the deployment of Platoon are the same as those for the Company. Yet by this time. the new soldier will have comprehend ed the importance of the Platoon in that 1t combines both the functions of the Squad and the Company.
 Tomorrow's article will continue tho deployment of the Company.

HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS HALT.

There are more than one million
 and half boys and girls in the high ! schools of the United States. Of this | number some 100000 will graduate in June. In ordinary times almost one- half of this number of graduates would enter college in October. This year. on account of the war, it is feared by national educators that many boys and girls who would ordi- narily go to college will remain at
 home and assist in the work of
 waging war Forestalling such an att
 tempt, United States Commissioner of
 Education Philander P. Claxton has
 issued an appeal to these students to
 remain at their studies. He addresses
 them in patriotic terms and asks them to continue their studies as a patriotic duty. There are certain services to society. state and nation, that can be rendered only by those who have had special training. To lose this would be . setback to the nation.
 There are enough mature men and women in the country to insure the work of war being done in satisfac- tory fashion. There is no need to draw upon the ranks of the young high school boys and girls, nor even the ones who have already or are about ,to matriculate in college. The selective draft, is designed to take men for the army between twenty-one and thirty years of age. Of all the men between those ages in the United states it is figured that but one out of every twenty will be called for actual service in the army. The others will be put to work In positions where they can do the most good. There is no real need of drawing upon the younger. The high school, normal, technical and vocation school pupils constitute only about one half of one per cent. of all those rated as of productive age.' There are 6o.o00. 900 people in the country earning their own living. There are not quite 100000 pupils in all the in- termediary schools. the schools be- tween grammar schools and colleges. This includes the 100000 high school children.
 Should the war continue for some years to come. as it probably will, the country will have need for more scientifically trained men and women than it now possesses. There are ever so many meh who can fight in the trenches. It does not require a college education to do that There will be men needed as officers. as en- 'gtneers at the front. There will be need for experts of transportation and other sciences at home. Scien- tine knowledge and skill are needed in the industries just as much as fighting valor in the trenches. These are the thoughts the high school pupils about to graduate are asked to ponder and, think upon. Because of
 their youth the boys in the high schools are anxious to rush in where many others fear to tread. The same applies to the girls. They are the
 ones who are ready and willing to volunteer for any kind of work the government may demand. They must halt. The tims is, not yet ripe when the nation must needs call upon those securing an education. Older heads will do the work while younger minds attend to the task of preparation.
