MORE COMPANY DEPLoYMENTS.

When the company is in column of
squads, to form the skirmish sline to
the front, the command would be, Gas
skirmishers, guide right Cleft or cen
ter), MARCH If then marching, the
corporal of the base squad deploys it
and moves straight to the front; if at
halt, he deploys it without advanc-
ing. If the guide be right CefD. the
other corporals move to the left (right)
| front, and in succession from the base
place their squads on the line. If the
guide be center, the cOrporals in front
Of the center squad move to the right !;
| il at a halt to the rear. The corporals
| in the rear of the center squad move
to the left front, and each, in success
sion from the base, places his squad on
| the line.
The company may also be deI'oyed
in an obliQue direction, whether in line
or in column of squads. The captain
points out the desired direction, and
the corporal of the base squad moves
in the direction indicated. The other
corporals, with their squads, conform.
To form the skirmish line to the flank
or rear, the line or column Of squads
is turned by squads to the flank or
rear; it is then deplOyed as described.
The intervals between the men are in
creased or diminished as already de-
scribed in the school of the squad. al

right Cleft or center)."
To assemble q company deployed as
skirmisherS the captain either desig
mates or takes his post in front of the
element on which the company is to
assemble. At the command, Assemble,
march," the men move promptly
toward the designated point and the
company is reformed in line. If it is
to be assembled by platoons, the pla-
toons are first conducted to the desig-
mated point by the platoon leaders, and
the company is reformed in line.
The platoons individually may be as
Sembled by the command, "Platoons,
assembly, march," This is then exc
cuted by each platoon as described for
the company. But it may also be de-
sired to assemble certain platoons one
or more, and this may be accomplished
by the command, "Such platoon(s)-
that is 'The first and second pla-
toons," or Lieutenant Blanks platoon"
-"Assembly, march," The move
ment, as said above, is then executed
by the designated platoon or platoons
as described for the company.
1t must be admitted that deploy-
ments by the company are at first con-
fusing to the new soldier. But if he
attends strictly to his corporal, and re-
members his instruction in skirmish-
ing for the squad, he will have no diff
flculty. All that devolves upon him
will be to do his individual share, and
this, in practically all cases, is confined
to what he has learned in the school
Of the squad. 1t is for his noncom-
missiOned officers to handle the squad
in q way to conform with the rest of
the platoon or company. Nevertheless,
the new soldier-the intelligent Ameri-
can sOlder-will want to know why
he is called upon to execute certain
movements, as well as how to negoti-
ate them. This he can readily learn
If, while performing his own duties to
the best of his ability, he keeps close
eye upon the composite movement
around him.

DEPLOYNG THE COMPANY IN
LINE,

The base squad, as we have seen,
deploys as soon as it has suffi-
cient interval and the other squads of
the company are deployed as soon as
they reach the general line, but if tac-
teal considerations demand it, squads
may be deployed before reaching the
line. Otherwise, each corporal when
he reaches the line gives the COM
mand or signals with his arm, GAS
skirmishers." His squad thereupon de-
ploys and halts abreast Of him.
An orderly progress of the whole
line is of first Importance. and for this
reason the deployed squads preserve
general alignment toward the guide.
Nevertheless, the different squads,
within their respective fronts advance
according to how best they may pro-
gress, owing to peculiarities of the
ground, or the possibilities of cover.
On haltiEg, the men in all cases face
to the front, which Tin combat or ex-
tended order) is always the direction
Of the enemy. Even when a squad
marches to the rear, it faces to the
front Immediately upon the halt. At
the halt, also, the men must take adj
vantage of cover-by lying down if no
more complete cover is available.
Being in line, to form skirmish line
to the front, the command is as fol-
lows: GAS skirmishers, guide right

ing, the corporal Of the base squad de-
ploys it and moves straight to the
front. When his squad has advanced
to the point on which the captain de-
sires to form the skirmish line, the cap
tain commands, Company, HALT"

squads halt on the same line.

Soldier or Tourist

Before the American tourist was never end
ing source of wonder to the European. Today
the American soldier has transplanted the tour
Britisher.
Sunday saw thousands of American soldiers
and sailors in London furlough. The down.
town district was overrun by Americans.
Britishers never saw set of fighting men
spend money so freely and get so much enjoy
ment out of it as did the American lighters
Groups of Americans with pockets filled with
money that they wanted to spend swooped into
the best hotels. They took the best tables ad-
Joining those of British officers. The presence
of these men of military rank did not dull their
appetites or make them feel out of place.
Your democratic American fighter goes on
the theory that his money is just as good as that
of an officer, and so he does not worry about the
rank of the men at nearby tables.
Britishers will never understand the Amerl-
can. The democratic, care-free happy go-lucky
disposition of his American cousin is something
too deep for the Britisher who takes even his
sports and recreation with the utmost degree of
seriousness And so, only the American can
understand how nonplussed and surprised our
staid British cousins must be at the antics of our
soldiers
Press dispatches say that the Americans have
initiated the British into the mysteries of the
game of craps. Give the American army resi-
dence of fifteen months in France and England,
and the sports of these countries will be revolu-
tionized Baseball, football, poker and craps and
will be in vogue. Perhaps an international base
ball series may supplant the worlds series as the
acme of baseball excellence.

To relieve the situation, home guards are be.

ganization is set forth in it's name. The men are
to guard the home district.
The value of an organization of this kind can
not be overestimated. It gives to every commu-
nifty centralized body that is able to cope with
disorder and to guard transportation highways
and bridges when danger threatens.

The men selected for military service will find
it an advantage later if they acquire the rudi-

for this is offered here. The first weeks in the
camps will be hard. If the men possess knowledge
of the first lessons soldier must learn, the grind
of the opening days will be alleviated and the
men will have more time for recreation and lels-
ure. Corporals and sergeants will be needed.
Those soldiers who know how to drill will be the
men who stand the best chance to win quick
promotion.
