HEARTY BREAKFAST is 0. K.
French Medical Professor Urges Euro
peans to Follow Example of
Americans.

Bordeaux, France.-The American
breakfast of ham and eggs, liver and
bacon, beefsteak or other meat vege-
tables and pOfridge, as a substitute for
the meager European morning meal, is
recommended for France by Doctor
BergOnie, professor of the Bordeaux
medical faculty.
Doctor Bergonie regards this substi-
tuition as one of the reforms most like
ly to relieve the economic situation by
providing rational nourishment and
avoiding a great deal of waste.
He bases his argument on the fact
that man requires SuStenance most at
the beginning of the day when he is
about to make his effort, whereas in
Europe he takes his principal meal
when his days work is half through
when he is half tired out and is in,
capable of so digesting his meal as to
give him proper support for the rest of
the days work.

THIRD YEAR OF WAR SEES SITUATION
OF The ALLIES GREATLY IMPROVED

Decided Superiority.

of Ypres. This the British blew up by
mines June 7, the noise being heard in
London. They captured 5000 prison
ers the first day of the offensive and
many others later.
French Gain Hills.
Below the sector Of the German re-
tirement the French were equally sue
cessful. On April 16 they started a
great offensive which resulted in the
dominating Ladies road" falling into
their hands, besides important posi-
tions in Champagne. Their prisoners
the first two days totalled 1900. On
May 6, along the Aisne, they took 6,100
captives and gained points from which
they looked down on the foe, as the
British did farther north.
1t should be noted here however,
that the French losses were severe,
resulting in the replacement of Nivelle
as commander in chief by Petain.
The last twelvemonth in the Italian
campaign has witnessed series of
costly reverses for the Austrians, but
the Italians have been prevented from
following up their successes by the
very difficult terrain, the beaten leu
tons falling back after each defeat to
new mountain positions most difficult
to attack.
italians Take Gorilla.
On August 8, 1916, the Italians
storned the stubbornly defended Go
rizia bridgehead, on the Isonzo river,
taking about 10000 prisoners, and
they followed this success the next
day by Selling the city of Gorilla and
increasing the number of their cap
tiyes.
The Italians launched a new often

on November 5 they announced that
their prisoners since the fall of Co
rizia totaled 40,365.
Winter then Stifled operations until
May Is, when the Italians returned
to the attack in the Carso, aiming at
Trieste On May 10 the haul Of Aus
trian prisoners was announced to be
6,432. The offensive was renewed May
%, 5000 prisoners being taken the
first day. On May &c Italy stated she
had taken 22,414 prisoners since
May II.
The last operations left the Italians
in an unfavorable terrain and the Aus
TRANS counter-attacked successfully,
inflicting important losses, but not
driving back the invaders to any great
extent. The Italians apparently set
tied down to organize the conquered
soil In preparation for new blow.

EXTENDED ORDER.

Everything we have taken up so far
from ''the school of the squad" except
"take interval" and "take distance"
has been "close order drill.
Close order is necessary for march
ing, parade and disciplinary purposes,
but in modern warfare-that is, out
side Of a trench--a squad fights in ex-
tended order. Even in a trench, the
principle of the extended order is main
tanned; 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, a
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 a
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 suffi-
Gent space between them to minimize
the chances of their being hit.
Even a machine gun would not an
nihilate squad in extended order
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1917-08-08

quite so expeultiously as it 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
it also affords them infinitely bet
ter chances of finding cover while adj
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
a run, the other members of the squad
place themselves abreast of the cor
poral at half pace intervals. Since
pace is 80 inches, there is 10 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. front rank.
No. l front rank is on the immediate
right of No. 2 rear rank, and No.
rear rank on the right of No. 1 front
rank. On the corporaPs immediate left
is No. 3 rear rank, who has No. 3,
front rank, on his left, while on No.
8 front ranks left is the remaining
member of the squad, No. 4 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 skirmlsh line.
If there are any extra men in the
squad (Which sometimes happens), they
fall in at the left of No. rear rank, or
at the extreme left of the skirmish line.
In moving, the entire line conforms to
the corporal's gait, whether that be
route step, double time, or still fast
er running. Deployed as skirmisherS,
a squad does not keep step; but 1t
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 a few steps for
ward have been taken.
Inasmuch as the normal interval be-
tween skirmishers is One-half pace, or
Is inches, each man has practically
one yard of front. The front OF
squad thus deployed is ten PAGES, or
% feet.

When the marshes froze there was
a sharp Russian offensive last winter
near Riga Otherwise, the coast front
lay dormant for many months, and
during the revolution ''fraternizing"
was rife between the opposing armies.
Then the Russians, having put their
house in order, set out to show the
kaiser that free men can fight better
than slaves.
The sectors selected for attack lay
between the Pinsk marshes and the
Carpathians, the same as last summer.
Successes were scored at several
points, the prisoners by July IL num-
bering $4,000. The greatest advance
was near Stanislaus, from which city
Korniloff's men advanced across a
series of rivers, capturing Halicz and

On March II they took Bagdad. They

Farther north the Russians held on

Near Jerusalem.
Moving out from the Suez canal
the British inflicted q severe defeat
on the Turks near Romani and then
fought their way into Palestine,
building a new railroad as they went.
A further slight advance would bring
them before Jerusalem. The Turks
apparently are preparing to abandon
the Holy City. They have also re-
moved the Jews from the seaport Of
Jaffa, treating them so cruelty that
hundreds have died.
In Germany's sole remaining colony,
East Africa, converging columns of
British, Portuguese and French are
closing in on the remnants of the de-
Tending army and the kaiser's over

All military observers expect the
war will continue through the next
winter and the new campaigns are
awaited with special interest because
American troops will have a chance
to show their mettle on the west front.

WarBOndMeasure to Be Reported to House Saturday
(By Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Ang. 30-The $1l,- 53S, S,945,640 war bond and certificate bill will be favorably reported to tht house Saturday in virtually the same form that it was presented to the ways and means committee by Secretary McAdoo and will reached probably on next Wednesday.
 Republican opposition to the meas ure disappeared today W hen admins tration leaders agreed to minor con- promises. Administration leaders to- night began laying plans for its early consideration in the senate following the revenue bill there as quickly as possible.
 Tentative arrangements are that the bill shall be reported to the house with these outstanding provisions:
 Bonds to bear four per cent inter- est, bonds and certificates of indebted ness or war savings certificates to be subject at least to income super taxes but not to normal income or war pro- fits tax, interest rates on war savings and certificates of indebtedness to be fixed by the secretary of the treasury, foreign bonds taken in exchange for loans to be resold at not less than their purchase price and the secretary to make no deposits of moneys accru- ing from bonds or certificates without obtaining interest.
 The allowance for disposing of the bonds. which would permit the secre- tary to resort to newspaper advertis- ing at his discretion will be curtaineo to about s2O.OOO,O00.
 Consideration of the administration soldiers and sailors insurance bill will follow final passage of the bond bill in the house. Plans to pass the insur- ance bill were first blocked today by the objection of Representative Park CT of New Jersey. who is opposed to the measure.

MONTREAL, Aug 30.-Four poice men were injured. one man was shot through the arm and a score or more persons received cuts and bruises and windows in half a dozen establish ments were smashed tonight in a clash between the police and anti-con scriptionalist paraders.
 The trouble started in Phillips square when the police attempted to stop the parade. They charged the snti-conscriptionists who broke and fled in various directions. Stones were thrown and several shots were fired. but the police used their batons and cleared the streets.
