bic" by moving the arm in quick circleS
above the head; at this. the men OF
each platoon or squad, as the case may
be, advance, and moving to the right or
left, take their proper places in line.
Each unit assemblies on the leading
element of the column and reforms in
line. Platoon or squad leaders con-
duct their units toward the point indi-
Gated by the captain, and to their
places in line The company is re-
formed in line.
Another method whereby the ad-
vance may be accomplished by a "suc-
cession of thin lines" is as follows:
The captain points out in advance the
selected position to be occupied, which
is generally from 100 to $50 yards to
the front, depending upon the terrain
and the character of the hostile fire.
The captain gives the command,
"(Such numbers) forward, march !"
The man designated by this number in
each squad-"NO. 1" for example
moves to the front until he reaches the
new line. In this line, the original in
tervals are preserved as nearly as prac-
dcable. The next number in each squad
is sent forward when the first has adj
vanced a suitable dfstance-the dis
tances between these thin advancing
lines are purposely made irregular.
Each number halts upon arriving at
the new line.

Clay Figures for Movies.

In a new style of moving pictures
little clay models of human figures
are used to represent the actors. The
result, when seen on the screen, is
both startling and amusing, the tiny
clay figures seeming to walk, jump
and go through all the motions of
talking and singing, as if actually
alive. Such pictures are called ami
mated sculpture. They owe their
origin to woman sculptor of New
York, whose clayfolk, as she calls
them, are photographed in a success
sion Of slightly different poses, each
specially modelled to carry out the
action of q regular scenario or film
story. The process Of molding the
figures is slow and laborious, as 16
different poses are required to make
foot OF film. Thus If the action of
the story calls for four actors in the
picture, a film Of ordinary length,
say 200 feet, requires the careful mold
ing by the sculptor'S hands of at least
1880 different poses for the clay
figures. In some scenes, however, only
slight changes are needed to give the
necessary animation, these being
quickly made by the deft touch of the
sculptor.-Popular Mechanics Maya

PLATOON AND SQUAD COLUMNS.

Having learned the principle of the
advance as conducted by platoon or
squad columnS-the succession of thin
lines"-it is now necessary to see how
this is to be done. Being in skirmish
line, at the command, platoon col
umns, march," the platoon leaders
move forward through the center OF
their respective platoons. When the
company is deployed, the platoon lead
er is posted in the rear of the line, in
order to control the fire of his men,
Having moved through the center of
his platoon, the men to the right of
the platoon leader Gas he passes
through the line) march to the left and
follow him in single file; likewise,
those on the left march to the right.
This constitutes a double column of
files, which is now conducted by the
platoon leader. Platoon guides follow
In the rear.
The command, Squad columns,
march, is executed in q similar way.
Each squad leader moves to the front,
and the members of his squad obliQue
toward him and follow in single file at
easy marching distances.
To reiterate what was said in The
last article, platoon columns are profit
ably used where the ground is so diff
cult and the cover so limited as to
make it desirable to take advantage of
a few favorable routes, and no two
platOons should march within the area
of burst of a single shrapne1. Squad
columns are Of value principally in ex-
pediting progress over rough or brush
green ground.
To deplOy platoon or squad columns,
the command is, GAS skirmishers,
march" Skirmishers then move to the
right or left front successfully and
place themselves in their original 20
SitiOnS in line.
From platoon or squad columns, the
company is thus assembled. At the

They were gentle and considerable

told her, bit by bit, what had happened
during her absence. She learned, much
TO her relief. that Eds funeral had
been held, and that all the distressing
details of the inquiry had been attend
ed to. Jose Sanchez, it appeared, had
confessed freely. Although her new
friends made plain their Indignation
at the manner of Eds taking away,
they likewise let her know that they
considered his death only a slight loss,
either to her or to the community. Not
one Of them pretended it was anything
except a blessing.
The journey drew to an end very
quickly. Romero, deserted now by its
garrison, stirred and stared sIeepily at
the invaders. but concerned itself with
their presence no more than TO wonder
why they laughed and talked so spirit
eddy. Plainly, these gringos were a
barbarous race of people, what with
their rushing here and there, and with
their loud, senseleSs laughter. God had
wisely placed them beyond the Rio
Grande, said the citizens of Romero.

herself in Texas once again. and it

and cOngratulating her. Even the Guz-
