Close-order formations are seldom
used in actual fighting; nevertheless,
they should be thoroughly mastered.
They have been worked out during
centuries of experience as the best
means of training men in soldierly
habits of thought and action. They
teach precision, teamwork, and that
prompt and unhesitating obedience
which is so necessary to military con-
troll The fact that you and your COM
rades are thoroughly drilled will be
your best protection in the hour OF
battle. 1t will give every man conf
dence in himself and in his comrades
and will insure steadfastness in the
face of the enemy
However, close-order drill Will not
yield these results-it will be worse
than useless--unless it is learned
thoroughly and practiced with snap
and precision. You must drill, drill,
drill. 1t is one of the most essential
steps in your training. Enter these
drills with enthusiasm. Try to make
a distinct improvement every day.
Grade Of Close Order Drill
There are four sections or grades OF
close-order drill, which are called
school of the soldier, school of the
squad, school Of the company, school
of the battalion. The word school
as here used, means fixed method of
training.
First of all, you will get the train
ing included under the School of the
soldier" This training is in turn d.
yided into two parts: Instruction
without arms and the Manual OF
Arms.
The very first thing you will learn
is the position of the soldier, which
has already been explained in lesson
4, then you will be shown, among 9th
er things, how to face to the right OF
left or about in a soldierly manner
how to salute properly and how to
march.
The Manual of Arms takes you a
step further. 1t teaches you, how tc
handle your rife properly. 1t does
not, however, include practice in fir
ing or in bayonet combat.
In the school of the squad you will

London, Dec. 27.-Germany is trying
to persuade the Russian people that only
the allies now stand in the way of peace
Peace terms announced today by
Count Czernin, Austro- Hungarian prime
minister, to the Brest Litovsk confer
ence, pledged the Central Powers ap-
parent adherence to the principle of
mo annexation and no indemnities
but only on condition that England and
her allies agree to this same policy.
Continuing, the terms seemingly con
cede to Russian demands ON other peace
aims, But the stipulation that Russia
must secure the allies adoption of all Of
Germany's principles, as London Off
cialdom saw it today, was for the OBJ
vious purpose of attempting to convince
tn Russians that only the allies are
holding up restoration of peace.
The move was seen here as one of
Germany's cleverest pieces of diplomat
is strategy calculated to embarrass the
allies as much as possible.
Czernin s bid for peace for the Cen
tral Powers makes these points:
Germany agreeable to a policy on no
annexation and no indemnities.
Germany diselaiming any desire to de-
prive any Independent nation of poll
teal rights now possessed by it.
Germany repudiating the idea of a
peace council settlement Of the future
o. certain Independent states.

To Persuade Russia
That Only the Allies Stand
In the Way of Having Peace


No mention was made in the outlines
of the Czernin proposals, as received
here, of any payment by Germany of
damages for the ravishing of Belgium,
of France and of Poland. No mention
was made also of any future guarantees
of world peace. Both points are abso-
lutely essential, in the view of the al
lies.
1t was pointed out there today that
under the German statement of prin-
ciples Germany would insist on return
Of all her colonies and would hold fast
to Alsace Lorraine.
The Teutonic concessions" found
no echo here. Britain and her allies have
already pledged complete acceptance of
the true meaning of the phrase emo an
nexations and no indemnities which
is included in the wider Interpretation
ono forced annexations and 10 punitive
payments"
Lloyd-George has specifically dis
claimed for the allies any desires for
conquest. He has demanded full guaran-
tee for future world peace and protec-
tion from future German schemes of
conuest in possible demands to be made
by England for retention of certain pro-
tective areas in South Africa.
The demand for reparatiOn is one on
which the allies will insist as basic
and fundamental.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 27.-Following
the completion of the Red Cross mem
bership campaign directed in the north
west by Hazen J. Titus, dining car su-
perintendent of the Northern Pacific
railway, a movement was started here
today to have him considered for the
post Of government director of railroad
dining car service ON all lines taken over
by the president.
Titus put the Northern Pacific dining
ear service on a war basis and conferred
frequently with Herbert Hoover after
the latter was named food controller.

''All of the railroads Of the country
will give to the president their earnest
and immediate cooperation, in my judg
ment," declared Hale Holden, president
Of the Burlington system and member OF
the United States railway war board.
"The practical effect the public is
likely to feel probably will be an in.
crease in railroad rates. In England
there was fifty percent increase in
passenger schedules, necessitated by the
change in the conduct of affairs. There
has been talk Of a three cent rate in
the United States.
"Another feature the public may real
ize is likely to be that of joint opera
tion.'
Richard II. Ashton, president of the
Chicago and Northwestern, said:
"The railroads, their Officers and
their employees have co-operated and win
continue to make every effective effort
within their power under the new or
der. -
B. r. Bush, receiver Of the Missouri
Pacific, said:
''The railroads, | think, will go ahead
and do the best they can. The govern
ment IS plan will work out all right. -
E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa
Fe, said: Gone man in charge of the
railroads will help in measure. We
have been befuddled by scores of petty
officials who asked for priority ship
ment rights, wanting to hurry through
things in which they are interested.
Stockholders will give a sigh of relief
when the government takes control and
guarantees returns'
w. L. Park, vice president Of the II
linois Central, said;
81 am sure that the railroad officers
and the men under them will give their
fullest cooperation to the president.

The American view.

Washington, Dee. 27.-If the Central
Powers peace overtures to Russia are
true, they still lack the essential ele.
ment demanded by President Wilson
and seconded by Observation-Disclosures
of Hohenzollernism.
Moreover, the blanket formula, "no
annexations and no indemnities" by
no means covers all that must be in
cluded within a peace settlement. This
leaves the restoration of Belgium and
kindred vital problems out of consid-
Grafton and is considered here today
as largely a bait to the Russians, in
view of their formulation of this creed.
While President Wilson's peace
views practically call for this formula,
his chief insistence is upon elimination
of the present government system upon
which no faith can be placed and with
which no bargain can be made.

MYSTERIOUS WOMAN
EAISER'S SECRET spy
NAY soon Be CAUGHT
She Is Said to Have Been at
Head Of German Spy SyS-
tenn Here Two Years

San Francisco, Dec. 27.-"H',', the
mysterious woman master spy, who
has directed for year the operation
Of the kaiser secret agents in this
country, may be dragged from her hid
ing place and placed under arrest in
a few days.
While federal agents and army in
telligence Officers were silent regard
ing the prospect of her apprehension,
press dispatches from Los Angeles re-
ported that federal officials there had
received information indicating that
tho woman is still in hiding there.
Los Angeles police are declared to be
aiding the government agents in
throwing a net around the southern
city in an effort to apprehend the
woman.
Meanwhile tarmy intelligence Off
GERS continued their examination OF
the papers of FrGnz Sehulenberg, Ger
man agent, whose arrest and admis-
sions have laid bare the direction of
the German spy ring by the myster-
ious woman agent.
1t is understood that woman who
is suspected Of being the mysterious
CHI has been under surveillance for
two weeks and that her arrest only
awaits the obtaining of more positive
evidence connecting her with the ma
chinations Of the Wilhelmstrasse spy
ring. The reports regarding her pres
enee in Los Angeles have not been
confirmed.
It is believed that when she is TAX
en- into custody, Uncle Sam will have
dealt the German secret organization
the hardest blow it has sustained
since the opening of the war. They do
not doubt that she has been the brains
behind the whole movement of Ger
man plotters, and it is pointed out
that she showed no trace of German
origin in her speech enabled her to
move about freely and to carry on her
work without hinderance.
Sehulenberg, fin mis- admissions to
army intelligence officers, has given
them any hint as te the real name of
the woman is not known.

With the French Armies in the
Field, Dec. 2.-(By maiD-Madame
Kathleen Park, an American, former
ly Mrs C.Mitchell Dcpew, of New
York, is today developing a scheme to
give more rapid and efficient care to
desperately wounded soldiers just off
the battlefield than any yet devised
during the war.
Not only is the scheme devised to
give men whose lives depend on i'm
mediate operations the most expert
surgical treatment, practically on the
battlefield, but to start them within
an hour or two afterward on their
way to safety in the rear without
hours Of formerly inevitable jostling
in ambulanees which has so often
proved fatal
The plan involves chain, first an

A jury found the eleven defendants
guilty last week. Motion for a new

The Italians were arrested shortly
after the riots which ended in the
killing of two persons and wounding
Of four.
Police claim to have linked the
rioters with those responsible for the

Copenhagen, Des. 27.-The Centra
Powers are willing to make genera
peace on the basis of emo annexations
and no indemnities'' y, according to al
official statement received from Wien
na via Berlin today All that is askef
is that other belligerents pledge the
same policies.
The proffer of such a general peace
was made in the formal reply to the
Russian separate peace overtures.
The Central Powers delegates tc
the Brest Litovsk conferences formal
ly assert that their nations "believt
the principles of the Russian proposals
from the basis of peace"
The reply likewise joins with the
Russian condemnation of a continua
tion of the war "with the sole object
conquest
The delegates solemnly declare their
willingness Immediately 10 sign d
peace ending the war on the condition
of emo annexations and no indemni
ties" They demand, in return, how.
ever, that all nations participating in
the war accept these same principles
A guarantee to this effect will be
necessary, it was stated.
The Hungarian minister sug-
gested that withdrawal of troops from
occupied regions "could be arranged
in peace treaty in event of failure
to agree on certain points before it was
signed"
''The return of the German colonies
taken by force constitutes an essential
part of German demands from which
we will never disist," he continued.
"The Russian demands for evacuataion
of occupied territory correspond to
Germany IS Intentions
Regarding the Russian proposal that
vote of the people in the Central
Powers would be necessary to de.
termine the destiny of certain nation
al groups, the reply asserted that this
"was not a question to be settled in
ternationally, but one which concerns
the country TO which such groups may
belong"
"It must be settled Independently
and constitutionally in every state by
its people, the reply asserted.
Newspaper Comment.
The Evening News today character
lied Germany's reply as Can adroit
general peace feeler."
''It MEANS" the editorial said, "that
Alsace-Lorraine, under the Teutonic
plans, could not be liberated; that Bel
gium could not he given reparation;
that Trentino would not be redeemed;
that Britain must evacuate Mesopo-
tamia and Palestine; that Germany
would be free to establish her initial
Europa and her domination in the east.
1t would mean the ruin of the British
empire-in short German peace would
be a German victory" !"
No Official View
No official comment was forthcom-

ing today on the German terms.
Privately, however, the complete
omission from the Teutonic Fdeclara
tion of faith" of any mention of the
restorations, restitutions and secur
tiles" demanded by Premier Lloyd
George was held to be an insuperable
barrier to any consideration of the
whole matter.
The fact was also emphasized that
while Serbia, Rumania and Russia
might not be physically annexed to
Germany, nevertheless the injunction
could be made just as close through
economic annexation.
The statement also does not specify
whether it is proposed to restore
Armenia and Turkey.
There seemed scant likelihood that
the British laborites the radical party
in British politics-would swallow the
clever German bait.
Arthur Henderson, leader of the
party, told the United Press:
Restorations and restitutions' arc
beyond the pale of discussion. Without
these not even the most ayoweds .paci-
fict in England would talk of peace
terms.
"The terms as indicated by Czernin
mean that Germany would be accorded
freedom to carry out her plans to sub
jugate central Europe.
German Peace Terms.
Amsterdam, Dec. 27.-Germany will
agree to a peace without annexations
and indemnities-bu only if all bellig.
erents pledge acceptance of that policy,
according to an announcement by Aus
tro-Hungarian Premier Czernin, re-
ceived today from Vienna.
He said the Central Powers favored
an immediate peace. "However,
he added, Germany does not propose
in her acceptance of the policy Of no
annexations and no indemnities to be
tied to one side wi out any guarantee
that Russia g ali will fulfill the
same conditions.
The Austro Hungarian spokesman de-
clared that the Central Powers edo not
intend forcibly to annex occupied reg
ions or to deprive of political independ-
ence any nation now enjoying that in
dependence."
He announced the belief that each
belligerent should pay not only the ex-
penses of war prisoners, but should
grant full compensation to civilian
prisoners.
