 When Squad is marching in line. there are two ways of turning it-onfas moving, or on fixed pivot
 The Squad is turned on moving pivot when it is marching as . separate unit or when in a column of squads. the command Column Right Ieft) is given. The moving pivot. in which the pivot man on the front rank advances at the half step of fifteen inches until tho line is abreast of him, is designed to turn a column precisely but with the least loss of headway.
 fixed pivot. Squads Right (Left) turns each squad in it's place on the designated base, right or left. and is a movement which bears important relation to every other squad in the column. For if the forward move ment is not entirely checked by the pivot mans turning and marking time in his tracks. the whole com- pany will be thrown out of alignment.
 Being in line, the Squad executes the command Right I4eft) Turin .... MARCH as follows:
 At MARCH the pivot man INo. l) of the front rank faces to the right. taking first the full step of thirty inches, in order to clean the space di- rectly behind him, and then advances at the half step while the other men of the rank oblique to the right until opposite their places in line. Each then executes a second right obiiQue. and on arriving abreast of the pivot man, takes the half step until the last man in the rank arrives on the line, when all proceed at the full step.
 To turn, the Squad on a fixed pivot' the command Squad Right (Left)

 What has become of many of Itht: idle young men who. . few weeks ago. were won't to while away their time standing along the curbing in tho center Of the city. Some of them arc still sticking to their posts, the post ir each case being . hitching post,e but thsir ranks have been depleted. The prospect of draft seems to have inspired ambition in many.
 It ia unomcially reported that . coal dealer in neighboring town, who had been selling to New Britain people at prices considerably lower than that offered by dealers here has : been advised from sources higher up" that unless he sells this com modity in New Britain and prevailing New Britain prices hs may nnd it hard to secure any moro shipments. IT investigation should prove this true why is there not an opportunity for federal investigation right hcsc 2.
 On Monday occurs the anniversary of the sinking of the Curard liner, Lusitania, in which 114 Americans lost their lives. This greatest 6ea tragedy of its kind is regarded as the, foundation upon which the present American-G German war Is being waged. It was the first great submarine hor- TOT. New Britain people still have clearly in their memory the awful shock they felt as they read the news bulletins and the detailed stories in the newspapers. Indignation ran high at that time. The sinking of this great boat. with its resultant loss of American lives, will ever be remeTn- bered here as elsewhere.
 At this time the citizens should IT, members particularly the signiA- canoe of May 1. just past. as the an- niversary of the victorious battle of Manila Bay, nineteen years ago. Tho Herald published at that time carried an account of the battle and as soon as the news had been flashed to tho citizens there was great rsjoicing throughout tho city. Flags were un- furled. Cheers were given and every. where was enthusiasm. It was - great day for the American Navy end was also . great day for many New Britain homes from which had gone out young men to enlist in that navy. In this great war there are scores of New Britain boys in the navy and. all naval news will be eagerly scanned by everybody at home. May the news they receive be just as good as that received nineteen years ago.

 Squad Right (Ieft) is a much uasd and important movement that re- quires much practice for proper execution, especially by the rear rank men, who too often undertake to scramble into position. Tho pivot man also must be extremely careful to turn in his tracks and not to take ground, an admonition easily compre- hended. but frequently neglected in execution. The pivot man and the rear rank men have 1t in their power to make or spoil this movement, which. improperly executed, will dis rupt and disarrange an entire column.

cally they seem to like to be kicked
 and driven in herds. That may be
 true; but as there are wolves mas-
 querading in the clothing of sheep
 there may also be lions garbed in the
 same sartorial effect. We like to look
 upon the, great German people as
 lions rather than sheep. Their mas- ter, Wilhelm. Is then seen in the role
 of the lion tanner. And theresenever
 yet has lived, a tanner of lions who did
 not eventually fall in. the jaws of his charges. The career of the late Cap
 tain Jack Boneyita presents a glaring
 example. For twenty-seven years he
 appeared before the people of the
 world as master of twenty-nine lions. One month ago in California he met
 his fate. He fell when he lost control only for a moment over the animals performing for him at the crack of a
 whip. The German people will some day, realize their strength and over- throw the ringmaster.
 Der Tag" Is the day the German people have always been taught to look for. Der Tag" will be the day ~hen they overthrow the man who has sent its best manhood forward to meet Ssarmies Of the world. Der Tag will come when Wilhelm Hohen- zollern is rudely awakened from his F1 sNf xy help of Maximilian Harden the Ger man people will soon see the dawn of Der Tag" If they do not see 1t now, their Emperor sees it.. He sees the cool clear light breaking over the horizon. He sees the shadows fast being dispelled. He sees the hands of the clock sweeping around to the hour of reckoning. He sees, he cannot much longer deceive the people he has deceived for all these long years, Harden has brushed some Before the Kaiser gets his glasses cleaned there may be :ln uprising, stampede, among what calls the sheep. There may be roaring of the lions. And when those things come to pass the sheep- herder will lose his job, the lion-tamer will be crushed in the jaws of his trained performers. Then will be the end of the old regime, and Ger 1any's house will be put in order. God hasten "Der Tag.'

k .-. ! .s z ! curb bit upon an unruly sea horse. The submarine can stay only so long as it complys with the laws of f1cruiser warfare in dealing withy' merchant shipping.
 Like fighter in the ring, the suh- marine is disqualified for hitting be- low the belt. The referee, interna- tional law, rules it out. Who then is to do the work of ridding the world
 of this unfair fighter? America!
 The nations of Europe engaged in
 the task of defending Democracy
 against the onslaughts of Autocracy
 have called upon the United States for help. The call shall not go un- answered. Out of Washington for the
 past few days there have come ap-
 peals from. the French and English
 Missions. The high ofncials of the American government have taken off the mask of secrecy held by the Allies all during this war and have told the American people the real truth. The SuDmarlne menace IS a SeF1OuS one. It cannot be taken lightly.
 In the meantime, the American peo- pie are coming to realize better the se- riousness of the war in which they are now engaged. The spirit of apathy that has long held the land in its grip is rapidly being shaken off. This Is no child's play. this problem of rid ding the world of Kaiser absolutism The sooner that Is realized. the bet ter 1t will be for all concerned. The war will be lost unless the submarine menace is curbed. lAt present the fight between Germany and America is confined to contest of sinking and building ships. with Germany doing the sinking. The shipyards of this country are called upon to put out one thousand wooden ships to carry munitions of war to the Entente Allies These ships must be built fast, be- cause the submarines now plying the Atlantic are sinking ships fast. The struggle will go on this way until American genius comes forth with the proper medicine for submarines. That day must not long be delayed.

TT MUST BE, DONE.

Yankee ingenuity brought the sub- marine into existence. Yankee in- genuity should he able to put 1t out of business. When an American in- vented the submarine. however, he did not design it for the purpose of play ing the role of pirate on the high seas. He did not intend that it should defy all the laws of God and man. So. when an American finds way to cope with the under-ssa boat, as used in this war, the invention will be utilized merely as . check rotn. Ae. .

T0n,n Topics

His local constituents are pleased to learn that Senator George W. Klett's ideas on the censorship and muzzling of the press are along broad lines. Senator Klett is quoted in the New York American as being opposed to any strict censorship of the press. Ac- cording to the local mans views, the press should be muzzled in this war only insofar as it applies to the move ments of troops and the navy. Free and unconstrained discussion of ad-
 ninistrative boards and agents and campaigns and policies is advocated by the senate leader.
 Never before in the memory of the present generation have military af- fairs 50 eclipsed all others as topics for conversation as now. Nowhere in New Britain can groups of men. eruups of women, mixed groups or groups of children gather without the topic sooner or later reverting to the war and the draft. It is the latter topic that is furnishing most of the falkland 1t is certainly a subject mat ter weighty enough for talk. Every body is wondering and what they are wondering is too obvious to expound upon. Older people tell us that dur ing the civil war days men f1ocked to the colors until near the end of the war when the draft was resorted to. During the Spanish-Amerfcan war days there were volunteers aplenty for service in Cuba and the subject Of draft was not seriously considered Now all is different. When the draft comes 1t is certain that many local homes will be depleted. #
 But the anxiety and worry is not confined entirely to the young men who have an aversion to going to France. Several local physicians tell us that since .the draft law has be- come a reality there are many mothers of sons who have been pros- trated with worry and nervousness. The grim reality of war is being steadily driven home to New Britain people.
 But is 1t not possible that New Bri: tain people are taking this thing too personally. While it hits local people as hard as any, many are taking 1t upon themselves as individuals while. as a matter of fact, the same thing is true all over this broad land. From the rockbound coasts of Maine to the sunny shores of California the same Is true. In svery state in the union. in every city and every town. in fact In almost every homss the same thoughts

LABOR LOST.

From behind prison bars there
 comes a plea to the Attorney Gen.
 eral of the United States that Is de-
 serving of consideration. Seventy i've men in the Federal prison at At
 lanta have asked to be given a chance
 to devote their services to Uncle Sam sby being employed, ,s under govern. smentaI control in {hose nelds which may become sem,-inactive by calling fighting men to the front These pris-
 oners do not saek to- be pardoned.
 They do not ask to be put on parole.
 They merely ask to lend their serv-
 ices outside prison walls at a time
 when the. economic value of every
 man has incfeased tenfold.
 There probably will be no way in
 which the entire allotment of prison
 CTS in Atlanta and other Federal in-
 stitutions can be put to work in fields
 best suited for service to the govern
 nient.s There should be some method
 whereby the greater portion of these
 men can be utilized for the good of
 the country. Many men are in prison
 today who can be put on their honor and trusted for the service of all. Be- cause a man is serving prison sen- tence is no just reason for stamping
 him as bide-bound criminal. Even former jail birds in the larger cities aS
 g. great spirit of patriotism since their native lands were plunged into war. Seemingly, there has come a reform
 among those who usually are ar raigned before the police and other courts. If this is true of men who are outside the prison bars, it may be taken for granted that those on the
 other side can be trusted to do better Seventy-fivc men in the Atlanta prison willing to do their bit for their native land comprise only small pro- portion of those serving time In that institution. There are many dyed-in- the-wool criminals there. Likewise, there are some who may be placed on their honor. Those who drew up the resolutions presented to the Attor- ney General placed therein pro- viso, in case their plea is heard, which will bind them in more ways than one to live up to any agreement the gov , ernment may make. Even should the Federal government not accept these proposals. state governments might consider some way in which men in prison may help the country in time of war. Labor confined behind prison bars is so much effort wasted.-lost.
