XXI When the Squad Is
Acting Alone in Ex-
tended Order.

The squad in combat drill is what
might be called a subsidiary fire unit.
The squad Is not the regulation fire
unit-this is the platoon (one-fourth Of
a company, roughly speaking), as will
be explained later. But within a pla-
toon, a closer fire control is often
necessary, and to this the squad or
this essential to firing by squads"
which is, under certain circumstances,
the most effective way in which the
fire can be delivered. -~ -
In addition, the squad Is a most
practical unit for patrol and outpost
duty, since IL places a small and Hex
ible body OF men in charge of a non
commissioned officer for work which
requires discretion and concealment
This Is not 10 say that patrol or out
post duty is confined to squads, but
squad basis. In any event. the squad
in extended order work Of all Kinds
has many occasion to work independ-
emily, and II Is then that the dlscip-
line and sense Of unity acquired in
close order drill will justly itself, as
well as obedience and attention to the
corporal.
When the squad is deployed with
other squads, the front and rear rank
men place themselves abreast the
corporal at half-pace intervals, as
acting alone, the skirmish line is
formed in the same way upon No. 2 of
the front rank. No. 2 stands fast in
his place or continues the march, as
the case may be. Meanwhile, the
corporal places himself, in. front of
the squad when advancing, and in its
rear when halted. When he is in line,

HOROSCOPE.
Wednesday, June ID, 1917.

Astrologers read this as an unlucky
day. Although Neptune is friendly
in the early hours, VENUS, Urans,
Jupiter, Mercury. and Mars are all
Under this direction harmony is
sons are likely to be disturbed.
Uranus gives warning of the preva-
lence of hypnotism and what was
once called black magic among spies
and treacherous persons, who will
work in new ways.
Women should be most cautious to-
day, as they will find II difficult to
preserve complete poise in trying cir
cumstances. The stars indicated that
they may be particularly liable to
hctray secrets and to speak unguard-
edly.
~ is a most unfavorable rule for
all love affairs, and it is not happy
Actors and musicians should not
risk reputation in any initiative while
this configuration lasts. The seers
promise that they will be enlisted
in many pageants and that they will
attain new importance in national
affairs.
BENEFITS from Canada are presaged
for the United States which will re-
ciprocate in some great service.
Astrologers prophesy that in the
next two years many Of the old
superstitions concerning the horror of
death will disappear and that COM
munication with the unseen world
will be so well established that 1t
will be no longer heroic but merely
commonplace to risk life, since the
entrance into another plane Of con-
sciousnes will be robbed of its myS-
teries to a great extent.
As Jupiter in the horoscope of
President Wilson is in Aries near the
ascendant of King George at the be-
ginning of the summer quarter. this
sign Is read as most favorable to
our relations with England, but the
fact that his Mars by progressive
motion crosses the Kings ascendant
seems to presage diplomatic comph-
cations.
The Queen of Holland will be sub
ject to sinister powers during the
summer, which may cause her to
become the tool of Germany, foreign
astrologers declare.
Persons whose birthdate Il Is may
have annoyances during the year.
Both business and domestic affairs
should be watched carefully,
Children born on this day will b.
successful in their undertakings, es-
peciaTly II they are willing to be en-
ployes. Girls probably will have
much charm Of person and charac-
ter.

tangled up, and cause members of a
squad in extended order instinctively
to choose the most direct-snd in that

possible time. In fact, without the

cuts at all, for they would not know
where to turn in order to find their
places in the squad.

thought that he Is doing his bit.
He is providing the foundation on
which society rests. He is making

He is giving security and comfort

gives the child the opportunity for
