MILITARY TERMS IN USE
IN UNITED STATES ARMY

SAN FRANCISCO, June with
the United States on the eve of
having troops in actual physical con-
tact in the European battle front.
an Interpretation of the military
terms in general use will be an
aid to the general reader. The
following are among those in con-
slant use:
A corps is two or more divisions,
commanded by a major general.
A division is composed of two or
more brigades, also commanded by
a major general.
A brigade, commanded by a briga-
der general, is composed of two or
more regiments and Independent
companies or battalions.
A regiment of infantry consists
of twelve line companies and three
additional companies. 1t is COM
manded by a colonel, with the fol-
lowing additional officers: one lieu
tOudut OlOhCi thlc6 uldJOTS, III
teen captains Is company comman-
ders, three of them also being men,
bers of the colonel's staff as ad-
~jutant, quartermaster and commits
sary; two ~lieutenants to each COM
pany, one lieutenant acting on each
of the three majors stats.
A battalion is made up of four
companies and is commanded by a
major.
A company of infantry consists
of about $50 men, divided into two
platoons; platoons are divided into
squads. A platoon is commanded
by a lieutenant commissioned
officer; two or more squads are COM
manded by a sergeant; a squad is
commanded by a corporal and COM
prises seven men besides the cor
pOral.
A company of cavalry is called a
troop and a battalion of cavalry is
called a squadron.
A company of artillery is called
a battery. 1t is divided into sec
tions and three may be different
numbers of guns, according to the
kind of artillery.
Three batteries of artillery make
a battalion.
The word company" troops"
or battery" should not be used
before the letter as Company B."
1t would be the INT as to say
Street Jackson" The letter comes
first, just as the numeral comes be-
re the word regiment: "2nd Regi-
Rent.' Not Regiment End.
Troops are either "federals"
(regular) or national guard. Every
between the age of IS and As is a
member of the militia. Never use
the word when referring to organ
lied bodies of troops.
There are no such things as
militia officials" or "army Off
GALS in military parlance. They
are national guard and army Off
GERS.
A skirmish, engagement, brush
fight or encounter is not a battle.
A battle is an engagement for
the possession of a certain point
and is general in it's character.
Large bodies of troops are engaged
m than a brigade. Other
wise the fight is an engagement, a
skirmish or an encounter.
Never say Captain Jones and his
soldiers of Company A" Say ga
Company, commanded by Captain
Jones' did so and so.
Any irregular body of troops less
than a company, or troop, is call
ed a detachment, unless it is a
platoon or squad or a section OF
artillery. Never say Lieutenant

PULLMAN

Cullman, July 20.-(Special.)- )-Fol- lowing the agitation of the early spring concerning raising foodstuffs at home, many of the citizens of the town planted closed streets and other unused places in Irish potatoes. These people are now reaping the first profits of their street gardens.
 The mayor was presented yesterday with four potatoes which weighed a pound. They proved the fertility of Cullman's streets and the amount of food that could be produced on strips of land heretofore allowed to go to waste.
 Fritz Beyer. member of one of Cullman's oldest German families, was found dead here Monday by his sis- ter, Mrs. Yenger. MT. Beyer had re- turned from Louisville just the day before his death. Death came to him suddenly while he was sitting in a chair. The funeral services took place in the Sacred Heart church. Among those who survive him is Hon. George Beyer of Birmingham, a brother.
 There were 52 teachers of the coun- ty who took the state examination here Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day. There was one life grade four first grade. IT second grade and the remainder were third grade appli- cants.
 The county commissioners will meet at the courthouse on the second Mon- day in August to hold their regular court.
 A summary has just been made of the amount of strawberries shipped by the express company this season The amount was S4,97S pounds These were crate shipments and included for the most part only the very early and the late shipments During the height of the strawberry season they are sent off in cars. Apples and black ber- ries are now being shipped in large quantities by express.

SANDERS GOES ON STAND AND DENIES
 GUILT OF CRIME
Brooks, Convicted of Mur- dering Mrs. Hess, Testi- fies in Defense of AL
 legged AccOmplice

Mobile, July 20-(Special.)- .)-Albert san- ders. the negro taxicab driver charged with being an accomplice to the sensa- tional murder of Mrs. Julia May Hess of Fulton. for which Fisher Brooks, an- other negro, is under death sentence took the stand late this afternoon in his own behalf.
 The defendant was on tte stand for more than an hour and was put through gruelling ss-examination. The best part of the afternoon session was taken up by the defense with trying to show that blood spots found on Sanders cloth- rust from an axle that ke was carrying from an auto garage to welding shop,
 NIGHT SESSION
 A night session of the court was ordered and the hearing is being conducted. Fish, CT Brooks, the negro under death sen tence for the killing, and who is to go to the gallows August 3, went on the stand tonight and swore that he alone was guilty of the crime. Tt Is probable that the case will reach the jury late tonight pr tomorrow morning.
 With the completion of Dr. Eugene Thames testimony the state rested. Dr.. Thames WAS the star witness of the day. He qualified as an expert and told of making the tests for blood on patches he cut from Albert Sanders coat, on the shoes he wore when brought back from Montgomery, and on parings from his finger nails taken after his arrest.
 All of these tests were positive and convinced Dr. Thames beyond a reason able doubt that what he found was

best kind of upper garment that can be worn for day affairs.
 The sketch shows a sl1ift and blouse of the faintest yellow voile. The skirt is untrimmed and quite short, for coun- try use The blouse is cut on straight lines and is heavily embroidered in helio- trops, blue and black.
 If you will notice the trick of fasten- ing the blouse up the front. you will get the last touch in buttoning the front of any kind of bodces. It Is done with small silk loops and colored buttons and is fastened as high as the wearer wishes. The sleeves are long, are put into a loose armhole that drags bit on the shoulders, and are finished with wide turnover cuffs of the Rumanian em- broidery. The sash ends are finished with deep fringe made of the wash cotton threads used in the embroidery. Copyright, Ay the Mcclure Newspaper

DEFENSE ATTACKS THOMAS

The defense attacked Dr. Thames testi- Fnony with great vigor, Just as was done In the Fisher Brooks case, but the doc- tor matched with MT. McMillan and was calm, collected. and composed through out the ordeal Each one convicted the other of using a misnomer and that was IS far as the intellectual duel went In the minds of the great crowd present. Dr. Thames stuck to his direct testimony from the first to last.
 Two other witnesses, Dr. Frank Sherard and Winner Sims, gave strong evidence against the defendant, that of Sims fix Ing definite hours in the night and early morning of May 20 and 21, when he saw Brooks around the postoffice garage with Fisher Brooks and Tommy Dickson. The last Sims saw of Sanders was when he and Brooks left the garage together Tn Brooks car at 1:30 a. m.
 Dr. Sherard testified to seeing Sanders and Brooks hold 8 hurried and animated conversation in front of his office the fay after the body of Mrs. Hess was found. Sanders hailed Brooks and Jumped In his car and after their talk he left quickly. and Brooks speeded his car as fast as 1t coald jump. That was the Say Brooks was arrested for the mur- Ter.

DRESS AND SLUG GE,STTIONS ANNE prFH,Hog.r FOR WOMEN
Voile has proved itself an excellent substitute for chiffon, and with en- broidery, it is very effective.

New York, July ao.-So far there seems to be no scarcity of voile. All that is
 offered to us is not of the best quality.
 In silk and in cotton, it provides way
 to have several thin gowns that are
 not as expensive as chiffon and that do
 not demand as much laundering as mus lin and cotton.
 The revival of the old Custom of wear ing wash frocks during the summer has
 been met with much enthusiasm among | those who have heretofore built up their summer wardrobes of finer and richer fabrics; but the economical woman must 1 remember the cost of flour and starch
 and thsalaborer's time when she insists
 upon wearing wash frocks.
 It must be admitted that many of the alluring costumes which are seen at
 smart places and which look as If they
 belonged to the days before the civil war,
 are not really inexpeneRve. Fine white
 batiste, exquisite Mailens and Irish lace. l checked silk and lowered muslin are
 built over thin satin or silk foundations and give the air Of simplicity by means of blue sash and an immense garden hat.
 Uf course, not all such costumes are expenslvs. There are Rmen of high degree who come to lar luncheon par ties in homemade. checked ginghams and striped tub silks, and then again, there are other muslins made by high priced dressmakers, for which the owner has paid $50. THE SENSIBLE VOILE Between the two fabrics--the muslins that wash and the chiffons and satins that don't-voile has a place of it's own. In the days following the civil war, women wore this fabric under other names, for 1t is 8 species of barege and grenadine, both French yelling weayes that ran through the two decades fol- lowing 1870.
 The voile of today Is a better quality than We had them. and 1t Is more agree able to wear. The dyers have dipped 1t in tho majority of fashionable colors, and in white and black 1t is easily made up Into distinctive gowns
 For country houses the white yoile Is made more brilliant by Runanian em- broidery, and sometimes there are dashes of Chinese brocade, as collar, cuffs and loose sash.
 THE PEASANT EFFECT
 There Is so much that savers of the Europeah peasants costume in the new costumery for the summer that one gar ment more or less cannot be considered a. news item. However, it is well to re- member that the long peasant blouse, loosely girdied about the waist, Is &C., cepted in every class of society as the
