EXTENDED ORDER.

Everything we have taken up so far
from "the school Of the squad" except
stake interval" and stake distance"
has been "close order" drill.
Close order is necessary for march
Ing, parade and disciplinary purposes,
but in modern warfare-that is. ou:
side of a trench--a squad fights in ex-
tended order. Even In trench, the
principle of the extended order is main-
tained; that is to say, the distance be-
tween rifles is approximately the same
as when deployed on its skirmish line.
OF all the great armies in Europe, the
Germans alone at the present time
send troops into battle In close order,
or ''massed formation" with the result
that their casualties are appalling.
Extended order, on the other hand, q
Characteristic Of American troops. is
also uniformly practiced by the allied
armies. The purpose Of extended or.
der is so to distribute the men of q
squad that they may work In unison
and without serious reduction Of the
amount Of fire which can be delivered
from a single section of the line, but
which at the same time leaves SUN.

the chances Of their being hit.

quite so expeditiously as 1t could dis
pose of one In close order. For not
only does the extended order separate
the men, but In that degree increases
their chances of escaping bullets, but
II also affords them infinitely bet
ter chances Of finding cover while ad-
vancing.
To deploy "as skirmishers," which
Is the descriptive command for extend
ed order drill, the corporal at the COM
mand of execution, march," springs
in front of the squad, If he does not
occupy that position already. At
n run, the other members of the squad
place themselves abreast OF the cor
poral at half pace intervals. Since
pace is 30 inches, there Is Is inches
of space between men so deployed, in
stead of the four inches of close order
No. 2 Of the front rank springs to
the corporal's immediate right. No. 2
of the rear rank takes station to the
immediate right of No. 2 front rank
No. front rank is on the immediate
right of No. 2 rear rank, and No.
rear rank on the right of No. j front
rank. On the corporal's immediate left
is No. 3 rear rank, who has No. B,
front rank, on his left, while on No.
3 front ranks left Is the remaining
member of the squad, No. rear rank.
In other words, with the exception
of No. 4 rear rank. in extended order
the rear rank men all place themselves
on the right of their respective file
leaders, and each front rank man, in
springing to the side of the corporal,
leaves room for the rear rank man Of
the same number to step into his prop
er position In the skirmish line.
If there are any extra men In the
squad (Which sometimes happens), they
fall in at the left Of No. rear rank. or
Mt the extreme left of the skirmish line.
In moving, the entire line conforms to

must take pains to see that space
of Is inches Is maintained between
each man. A common error is for the
men to bunch after few steps for
ward have been taken.
Inasmuch as the normal interval be-
tween siSirmishers Is one-half pace, or
Is inches, each man has practically
one yard of front. The front of q
squad thus deployed is ten PAGES, or

that his sudden bound upward from

headship Of the irrigation project had

his efforts TO put the new company on

him thoroughly. He was rapidly COM

Clean Up" has had its place in
the worlds vernacular. With Spring
the desire to refurbish comes sub
consciously into the hearts Of men
and women, and communities. But
without direction and sustained effort
the expression Of that desire, in the
form of the ordinary Clean Up Day
or Week" is apt to result in a super
fetal sally against filth.
Years ago Allen w. Clark, a st. Louis
editor, made up his mind that this
natural Clean Up instinct could be
turned to account, that it could be
developed into a real campaign work
ing toward definite ideals and accom-
plishing permanent results. And so,
in May 1912, Mr.. Clark founded the
National Clean Up and Paint Up
Campaign Bureau, with headquarters
in St. Louis. He hoped that a thor
ough-going movement, national in its
scope and practical in its principles,
might take the place Of the annual
