The Value of Human Milk

The value of mothers milk to the
nation was expressed by an eminent
London physician in a recent speech
at the London Mansion house. HUI
man milk, he said, was priceless, but
some notion might be formed of its
economic value If we regarded 1t as
II 1t were cows mill, its most COM
mon substitute. In the year before
the war SS1,S90 infants were born in
England and Wales. The mothers of
these infants should have yielded, on
an average, two plnts Of milk day
for lactatlon period of nine months,
which woYd amount to 220,945 gal
Ions u day, worth about 35 cents a gal
Ion, more than $4,000 day, and over
$30,000,000 year.

But when by this process the position
of No. in the front rank of squad is
established, the corporal assumes 1t,
exchanging whatever man it is neces-
sary to displace.
The captain, in advance of receiving
the report of the first sergeant, places
himself II PAGES In front of the center
of the company. He returns the salute
of the first sergeant, and then draws
his saber. The lieutenants, taking
their posts behind the company, to the
rear of the right and left guides, when
the first sergeant has reported, draw
their sabers with the captain.
The alignments of the company are
executed as prescribed In the school
Of the squad. The guide, however, is
established instead of being the flank
file. The rear-rank man of the flank
file keeps his head and eyes to the
front and covers his file leader.
The company executes the "halt,
rests, facings, steps and marchings,
manual of arms, loadings and firings,
takes intervals and distances and as
sembles, increases and diminishes in
tervals, resumes attention, Obliques, re-
sumes the direct march and preserves
alignments," as set forth in the school
of the soldier and the school of the
squad. The difference is that the
word company" is substituted in COM
mands for squad"
The practical value of the instruc-
ton and training which the new sol
der receives in the school of the
squad now begins to dawn upon him.

FORMING THE COMPANY.

The company in line is formed in
double rank. The tallest men are
placed on the right and the others are
arranged, so far as it is practicable
in order Of height. The company is
formed at the sounding of the assem-
bly, on the bugle. The first sergeant
takes position six PAGES In front of

be. The first sergeant, next In COM
mand to the second lieutenant, Is the

The right guide of the company, who
is usually senior sergeant, thereupon
places himself on the spot where the
right of the company is to rest. This
is abreast of the center of the COM
pany, which is itself six PAGES back
from the point where the first sergeant
has taken position. The squads then
form in their proper places to the left,
successfully, Of the right guide. Squads,
like individuals, are graduated in
height. The falling in is superintend-
ed by the other sergeants, who then
take their posts.
Following the report" or roll call,

GERMANY BEGINS CRUSADE
TO FORCE SWISS INTO WAR.

Westinghouse Lansing
announced that the police OF Berae
had raided the plant of the Freie
Zeitung, a Swiss semi-weekly, be-
cause it indorsed President Will
sons stand in war. The belief
here is that German pressure
forced the Berne authorities to
take this action.
Should it develop that the Swiss
Government openly condones this
action OF the Berne police there
may be immediate diplomatic COM
plications, because it well known
that number of Swiss newspapers
are now openly supporting Ger
many's cause more outwardly than
the pro-American Freie Zeitung
supported the entente aud the
United States.
The neutrality of the Swiss Gov
eminent would naturally come
under question if all the pro-Ger-
man newspapers are to be allowed
carte blanche, while papers favor
able to the United tSates and the
Entente are suppressed.
Meanwhile Germany's effort to
force Switzerland to make loan of
$50,000,000 has stirred the people
of Switzerland into two rival fac
tons. Nominally "a per cent of
the Swiss people are German
speaking and assumed to be favor
able to the German cause. But the
German campaign of domination
now being attempted has aroused
many in Switzerland to protest that
the honor of the nation is at stake
and must not be sacrificed at Ger
many'S dictation.
