The Platoon and the COMPANY.

Two three, or four squads CASUALLY
three) may be joined in the next high
er unit, which is called a. platoon"
The platoon, however, is not so per-
manent as a squad, but is formed
whenever there is need for it in drill
ing or on the firing line.
Next comes the company, which is
made up at full strength of $50 men !;
this is about Is squads or six pla-
toons. This number is war strength
in our old tables Of organization; the
first division now in France has 200
men per company; it is probable the
strength may be 250 per infantry com
pany. However, these figures for the
number of squads and of platoons are
never definitely fixed. A company in
the field is very seldom at full
strength. and it may be convenient at
any time to change the mum bers Of
squads and platoons.
The company Is a permanent team
in the sense in which we have been
using that word. It's members always
live together eat together drill to-
gether and fight together. All the Of
ficcrs and soldiers in a company be-
come we'll acquainted. Each mans
points of strength and of weakness
are known. Outside Of your own COM
pany you will probably know very few
men, only those with whom you come
into touch by accident or while you
are serving on some special duty. This
is something worth thinking about
You are probably going to live, eat,
drill, and fight with the other men
in your company so long as you re-
main in the army. The sensible thing
to do is to conduct yourself in such a
way as to command the liking and re-
spect of these men from the very be-
ginning.
Four companies are joined in a
battalion" The battalion is an i'm
portant unit in the army organization,

COAST ARTILLERY
INTO OTHER ARMS

The following additional informa
ton on the Coast Artillery is from
the Charleston News and Courier:
Plans for transferring regular
coast artillerymen to field artillery
and infantry arms of the service have
been approved, Major Gen. Leonard
Wood, y. S. A., said yesterday. The
coast defense fortifcations Of the
country will not be weakened, how
ever, as the coast artillery companie:
of the National Guard will be assign
ed to duty at these stations, replacing
the regulars.
The field artillery of the United
States has been expended so greatly
in the last year that at present, ac-
cording to army officers, it has reach
ed the maximum elasticity, consistent
with efficiency. The number OF Off
GERS and trained and seosaned artil-
9erymen is limited, and it is import
ant that every organization have, not
only capable officers, but a nucleus OF
trained men. Approximately year
ago, there were but six regiments OF
field artillery in the regular army
There are now twenty-one. The pro-
motion of officers has been especially
rapid. Many officers have been trans
ferred from the infantry and cavalry
arms of the service to the artillery.
The coast Artillery National Guard
will be mobolized July 25, simulta-
neously with the other forces of the
guard. After, spending about two
weeks at their armories the COM
panies will be assigned to stations
along the coast.
Gen. Wood said yesterday tina:
more National Guard coast artillery
could be used if it was available. Ef-
forts were made recently to encour-
age the organization of coast artillery
militia in number Of States that are
short of their quota, but the efforts re-
suited in nothing.
The South Carolina companies
hope and expect to be stationed at
Fort MouItrie. Their home stations
are at GreenviIle, Carney, Spartan
burg Greenwood and Jonesville. Most
OF these companies reached war
strength shortly after the declaration
Of war. Their recruiting was rapid,
- all five Of them lost large num-
Der Of men by discharge, owing to
them having dependents.
,'.I hope to see rapid Increase IN
the rate of enlistment in the National
Guard" Gen. Wood said yesterday.

HEAT and DROUTH
ARE DESTROYING
GER N AN CROPS
Unprecedented Torrid Wave is
Burning Up Growing Grain;
Sunday Hottest Day in
Seventy Years.

Copenhagen, June 19.-(Via Lon,
dom .)-Throughout Germany, accord
ing to reports here, all valuable grain
crops are burning up as they did in
1915 in an unprecedented heat wave
wave. +
The prolonged drouth has not been
broken since early i'll May. Berlin or
Sunday experienced the hottest June
II on record i'll seventy years, says
the weather bureau. Tropical tem-
peratures were also reported every
where> west Of the Oder river.
Many horses were scratched on
the opening day of the Hamburg
derby week, because the track, built
on low moor, was baked too hard
for safety.
The effect OF the drouth on grain
crops around Berlin, where only eight
millimeters of rain have fallen since
May |, is described by a neutral, who
arrived here on Friday. as almost
catastrophal.
The Sunday sermon writer in the
Berlin Kreusc Zeitung, who recently
INDUCED in startling blending OF
religion and politics, declared on Sun
day that the drouth was sent as a
punishment for the sins of the people
for listening to the editors of irreligi-
Gus newspapers and .sked how long
it would be before this divine chas-
tisement would bring the people to a
sense Of their inquites.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
GOLDEN JUBILEE
UNDER WAY
Fiftieth Annual Convention of
State Association Opens With
Large Attendance; 2,270
Delegates Register.

Up to last night delegates from out
in the state, who had reached Omaha
to attend the Golden Jubilee, or ff-
tieth annual convention of the Ne
braska State Sunday School associa-
ton, numbered 2,270. In addition,
there were nearly 1000 more delegates
from Sunday schools of Omaha. Sew
eral hundred are expected to arrive
this morning.
The first session of the convention
was held yesterday afternoon and was
cut short on account of an automobile
tour of the city, which started at
O'Clock, continuing two hours and
covering thirty miles Of streets and
boulevards. About 400 cars made the
trip.
This is the first convention of the
association held in Omaha since 1912.
In point of attendance it promises to
be record-breaker. Sunady school
workers and pupils have come from
every county in the state, and there
is hardly a Nebraska city or town
that has not sent a delegation. Cass
county has the Target delegation, ap-
proximately 500 people, most who
came in automobiles. Richardson,
Otoe, Lancaster, Dodge, Washington
nd Burt counties are represented by
delegations of from 200 to 400 each;
while many of the farther away coun-
ties have twenty to fifty delegates.
Omahans have thrown their homes
open to the delegates.
Meetings at Auditorium.
Business headquarters of the asso-
citation are at the Hotel Cstle. All
principal meetings are being held in
the auditorium.
The convention was opened by the
audience singing America" after
which the Rainbow chorus, consisting
Of six-hundred boys and girls, train
