U.S.SHIP BOARD
HAS new WEST
COAST BRANCH
Yards on Pacific Seaboard
Show Great Activity
In War Work.

The Increase in activity and pro-
duction of the Pacific shipyards, it
was announced last night at the
United States Shipping Board, had
reached such an important stage
that q director of operations for the
Board. with headquarters in San
Francisco. had been appointed in
the person of c. W. Cook, formerly
Of the American-Hawaiian Steam
ship Company
1t was announced also that the
yards at Portland had made so much
progress that a separte office, such
as maintained in Seattle, Tacoma
and other Pacific coast cities, Is to
be established there.
The Pacific coast yards seem to be
making better time on the construc-
tion of fabricated steel ships SO far.
despite that much of their steel has
to be transported around the contin-
ent by way of the Panama Canal.
The explanation of the Shipping
Board is that there is a higher class
of labor there, mostly American.
which works faster and with more
intelligence.
One Ship q Month.
A telegram received by the Baord
yesterday afternoon reports the
launching of the War General. a
steel fabricated ship, in seventy
two days from laying the keel, and
the same builders, ]. T. Doothey
& Co., of Seattle, expect to launch
the War Fort the first week in jan
uary. This company promises to
put one new ship in the water every
month hereafter. Another firm,
Skinner & Eddy, has just finished a
ship in. sixty-four days. Doothey
& Co. challenge both competition
and contest to prove their assertion
that the Pacific coast yards can
build the ships more quickly than
Atlantic coast yards.
The Shipping Boards most imme-
diate need, however, is for steel sea-
going tugs. and It Is negotiating
now with a New York; firm for de-
signs for the fabricated hulls, of
which 1t will require about twenty
five on the first order.
1t is hulls that the Board needs
more than complete vessels of any
kind at this time. and they are con-
centrating on hull construction, be-
lieving it a comparatively easy mat
ter to get engines and boilers and
install them at once as hulls are nm
ished.

HOW A SQUAD TAKES ERVAL
AND DISTANCE.

While for marching and the pur-
a squad is kept in "elose orier"-that
Is, the distance of the crook of the ell
bow between man and man in each
rank, and 40 inches between the front
and rear ranks-certain kinds of in
Struction could not be given in that
formation. The setting-up exercises
(ealisthenics) or the bayonet drill
could not be executed at close order.
1t is essential, therefore, to distribute
the men SO that. while they still re-
main in precise and military forma-
ton, they may be sufficiently separated
for each man to have room for the
swing of his arms and legs or the
charge of his bayonet. In order to
effect this, the squad will execute the
commands, take interval" or take
distance"
When the squad is at halt, the
command is given, Take interyal-to

rank men march backward four steps

ton. march" all men in both ranks

TURNING THE SQUAD.

When a squad is marching in line,
there are two ways of turning ton
moving or on fixed pivot.
| The squad is turned on moving
pivot when 1t is marching as sepa-
rate unit or when, in column of
squads, the command column right
! (lefD' is given. The moving pivot, in
which the pivot man on the front rank
advances at the half-step of II inches
until the line is abreast of him, is de-
signed to turn column precisely but
with the least loss of Roadway.
A fixed pivot, squads right GefD,"
turns each squad in its place on the
designated base. right or left, and is
a movement which bears important re-
lation to every other squad in the col
umn. For if the forward movement
is not entirely checked by the pivot
mans turning and marking time in his
tracks, the whole company will be
thrown out of alignment
Being in line, the squad executes
the command Fright Qeft) turn 8.
MARCH" as follows:
At "march" the pivot man (No. y
of the front rank faces to the right.
taking first the full step of 80 inches.
in order to clear the space directly
behind him, and then advances at the
half-Step while the other men of the
rank oblique to the right until opposite
their places in line. Each then exc
cutes second right obique. and on
arriving abreast of the pivot man,
takes the half-step until the last man
in the rank arrives on the line when
all proceed at the full step.
To turn the squad on fixed pivot,
the command Squad right 0efD =.
MARCH" is given. At march," the
right man (No. ~ in the front rank
faces to the right and marks time. The
other front-rank men, obliquing to the
right, place themselves abreast of the
pivot man and also mark time. In the
rear rank, No. g. that is. the third
man from the right. moves straight to
the front until he is 40 inches in the
rear of his front-rank man. He then
faces TO the front and marks time. The
second and first men of the rear rank
follow No. 3 in column until they also
are directly behind their frdnt-rank
men. They then face to the front and
mark time. No. of the rear RINK
meantime moves straight to the front
at the side of No. for four PAGES He
then faces to the front and steps up
abreast of No. 3. As the last man ar
rives in his place-or, when perform
ing the movement by numbers, at the
sixth count after the command is
given-both ranks execute forward
march" without further command.
squad right QefD" is much
used and important movement that re-
quires much practice for proper exc
cution, especially by the rear-rank
men. who too often undertake to
scramble into position. The pivot man
also must be extremely careful to turn
in his tracks and not to take ground,
an admonition easily comprehended,
but frequently neglected In execution.
The pivot man and the rear-rank men
have it In their power TO make or
spoil this movement, which, improperly
| executed, will disrupt and disarrange
an entire column.

the corresponding front-rank man. The
command. ~ is given when the
No. men are three PAGES distant from
the No. men, and all halt and face
to the front.
From this formation, the command
ASSEMBLE" is given when it is desired
to bring the squad back into close
order. The command is worded, 'As-
semhle. to the right QefD. :.
MARCH !" At march" the front-rank
man on the right or left, as the case
may be, stands fast, while the rear
rank man of the same file closes M
behind him to the regulation distance
of 40 inches. The other men face to
the right Cor Lefty. move in by the
shortest line and face to the front.
"Take distance" varies in that it
is executed TO the front rather than
on either flank and provides different
arrangement of the men, although, for
the purpose of exercise and instruc-
.ti0n. the result is substantially the
same. This movement must be eXecut-
ed after the squad has counted off.
At march" following the preparatory
command. take distance" No. l of the
front rank moves straight to the front.
When he has taken four PAGES, No. :
of the front rank also moves straight
to the front, followed by No. 3 of the
front rank at four PAGES, who, in turn,
is followed at four PAGES by No. of
the front rank. Then when No. has
his proper distance, Nos. l, ., 3 and 4
of the rear rank each step off four
PAGES exactly as the front-rank men
have DONE The command halt" is
given when all have attained their dis
lance.
To ASSEMBLE" the squad. at this
command, No. of the front rank
stands fast, while the other numbers
move forward until they reach their
proper places in line.

guilty. In discharging him, the Judge
said: The jury has exemplified on

you are the man who broke this place

our own law is that the evidence must
