ExTENDED ORDER.

The purpose of the close order drill through which we have just been put with the company is three-fold. In the first place, it confers the benefits cited at the beginning of this series. namely, discipline and uniformity of movement. Tn the second place, by pleasing the eye with the movements. 1t not only teaches with concrete ex- ample the Fundamentals of military precision, but contributes an import ant moral clement known as esprit de corps. A company which is in height of drilling or marching together has a vastly better spirit than one which, however, well-trained as individuals, has been assembled but a. short time. The third benefit is q practical or me- chanical expression of the second This is 'sTeamWork.
 Teamwork is 50 inportantNo troops in combat that the InfantAy Drill : Regulations select this athletic term in preference to the whole military glossary to explain action. Teamwork is indispensable. and teamwork can only be learned, to begin with, in close order. just as teamwork with | football squad can be properly leearned only by signal practice. But we'll developed teamwork is the more indispensable with deployed units because the comparatively wide fronts increase the difacuities of control. This brings uA to the consideration of extended order.
 Because of the increased difficulties of control, non-commissioned officers are given latitude in the execution of extended order work.

A CRIME.
Dissertation of the Flag should Be Punished No Matter Where Act
 Is CoAamitted.

New Britain. Conn,
 May 2s. 1917. To the Editor of the Herald:
 was somewhat surprised and shocked to read in Monday nights Herald the account of the person who was desecrating the American flag and wao could not be brought to account for it, because he was doing it inside his house. Perhaps the police au- thorities were right-they should know what they can and cannot do but 1t seems to me and to others to whom have spoken that it Is 8 sad state of affairs and one that would not be tolerated in every locality. We have always thought that desecration of the flag at any time Is 8 crime, but now, when we are at war with a foreign country. 1t seems that every effort should be used to prevent such action.
 If we are right and 1t Is crime to trample upon the flag, then. 1t would seem that one may do just as he spleases, so long as he confines his activities to the interior of his home. Gambling. prostitution. forgery, rob- bery or even murder may be com n1itted with inpunity under the shell ter of ones own roof. If we are wrong, then 1t Is my belief that it is about time to make 1t crime in day light or dark, inside or outside the house, in private or public to per- form such treasonable acts as the one described in the Herald of Monday night.
 Yours respectfully,

fact, in the word of the regulations. depends largely upon how well each subordinate co-ordinategS his work with the general plan.''
 In further illumination of this state ment. officers and men are instructed that lit Is far better, to do any intellt- gent thing consistent with the aggres- sive execution of the general plan than to search hesitatinkly for the Ideal. This Is the true rule of con- duct for subordinates who are IT. qutred to act upon their own initia- tive.' K
 Hut subordinates are immediately warned that independence must not become license. The subordinate of ncer should at all times have the gem eral plan of action in mind and cause his own acts to conform thereto: The test IS Tor him to ask himself whether he IS reasonably sure that his superior m the given circumstances would is- sue the identical order. If the ordeF he receives Is obviously based upon n incorrect view of the situation, sim possible of execution, or has become impracticable because rofs S changes which have occurred ssaincA its pro- 1nulgation, the subordinate ia com Hpelled to use his own judgement and take the responsibility upon himself. fif he Is unable first to communicate the situation to his superiors.
 These instructions are directed to officers primarily but they arc rela- lively true of the responsibility which devolves upon the squad or platoon leader. and for this reason have their places in the consideration of the company when deployed in line of skirmiei1ers. |s.
