EXTENDED ORDER.

Everything we have taken up so far
from 'the school Of the squad" except
stake interval" and stake 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 trench--a squad fights in ex-
tended order. Even In 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 sEirmish 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, q
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 q
squad that they may work in unison
and without serious reduction of the
amount Of fire which can be delivered
from single section Of the line, but
which at the same time leaves suffi-
cieht space Ietween them to minimize
the chances VI their being hit.
Even O machine gun would not an.

GOOD FEATURE FOR PARKS
Big Garden, Containing Only Insectiv-

Public parks should be educational

made comfortable by conveniences.
and amused by concessions and spe-
cial equipment. but enlightened and
interested in special provisions of ma
ture as exemplified in groups of plants
of like habits or uses. 1t is much to
be regretted that plants of great eco
nomic value cannot be safely brought
together for the benefit of all, but such
plants are always wrecked or stolen
or their valuable parts taken by those
vandals found in every public gather
ing; proof positive that the public can
not in all things be trusted with it's
own property, but needs protection
against itself.
But there are collections of plants
that could be afforded sufficient pro-
lection under screen or glass, or both.
that would challenge the attention OF
all and furnish subjects for study, re-
flectien and debate for many. One OF
these, easily instituted in a conserva--
tory, would be bog garden containing
only insectivorous plants. The more
common of these are the pitcher plants
SO common to eastern marshes, such
as the saracenias and the California
darlingtonia. Then come the sun
dews. covered with sticky hairs. such
as the droceras. and lastly, those
which have contrasting or traplike
leaves, of which dionaea or Venus fly
trap is the best example. Nothing that
could be placed on exhibition would
draw so many interested visitors as
bevy of really plant acrobats with al
most animal ferocity and appetite, kill

quite so expediuously as IT could as
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, bli
it also affords them infinitely bet
ter chances of finding cover while ad,
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 a
pace is 30 inches, there is IS 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. 2 front rank.
No. l front rank is on the immediate
right of No. rear rank, and No. 1
rear rank on the right of No. front
rank. On the corporal's immediate left
is No. rear rank, who has No. 3,
front rank, on his left, while on No.
front ranks left is the remaining
member of the squad, No. 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 skirmish 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,
squad does not keep step; but 1t
must take pains to see that a 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 SlSirmishers is one-half pace, OF
Is inches, each man has practically
one yard of front. The front of O
squad thus deployed is ten PAGES, or
25 feet.

Narrow Pathways.

In the main those trees used for
street planting should do better in
residential districts than they do in
their native habitat. 1t is possible to
give them better supplies of food and
water than nature grants them, and
we may nearly as easily supply them
with equally good soil. The chief draw
back to vigorous health is the mar
row parkway, which on the average
street is not more than three feet
wide. With concrete walk on one side
and paved street OF the other 1t is Inn
possible that the tree can receive the
necessary aeration of the soil SO that
food and water Is furnished in suffi-
Gent quantities.

NEW ERA OF CITY PLANNING
Municipalities Spending Millions to
Correct Mistakes-Tendency to
Build Out Instead Of Up.

Prof G. e. Merriam of Chicago de-
clares that the activity of the Ameri-
can city today is conferred upon fun
damental physical plans for municipal
growth BY way of contrast, he says
the decade from 1890 to 1900 was
taken up with the overthrow of the
spoils system and the period from 1900
to 1910 saw the introduction of mod
ern plans of municipal government
That his classification of the present
era strikes at the truth is proved in
New York and Chicago, where mil
lions are spent to widen one street.
Other cities all over the country are
correcting the mistakes of poor plan
ming at an immense cost.
There is no doubt that the city of
the future is going to limit the height
of its buildings, the proportion Of
ground each building may occupy. the
proportion of park space to inhabi-
tants, and the character of all con-
struction work. 1t is believed that
the city Of the skyscrapers Is soon to
pass.
The result will be to build out in
stead Of up. When business district
reaches certain area, another center
will be started elsewhere.
The contrast between the old and
the new is seen in New York and Los
Angeles, the former with its 40Lstory
buildings and the latter surrounded
by its 80 suburban centers.

Errors in Chimney CONSTRUCTION.

Probably the most common error In
the construction of chimneys is made
through failure to properly proportion
the size and the height. The size gov
ems the volume of smoke chimneys
can handle, and the height determines
the intensity Of the draft.
A chimney may be sufficiently high.
but of an area too small to do the work
required. A chimney may also be large
enough. but too low to produce sum-
Client draft required to pull the afr
through the fire and up the chimneys
at rapid rate. Either fault viii re-
suit in very Unsatisfactory chimney
service.

agreed hastily, as If he would forestall

heard Miss Willoughby stirring on the

CHAPTER III.
A Foe in the Household.

~ roc IN TIC FIOuSCHotus
Brewster had hardly closed the doors
behind him before Ethel Willoughby
appeared.
"Oh, Henry You surprised me-" she
said.
II came before the Others" Street
man explained, because there is some
thing you must do for me at once"
about the fleet, 1 suppose" she
said, somewhat YEARLY, as she turned
away from him.
"How did you known" He shot the
question at her almost too quickly for
caution. But for the moment he ex-
perienced something approaching
alarm. But her answer treasured him.
Nowadays it is only Of the fleet
you ask" she told him. And she re-
garded him with eyes that were pa
thetic, IL not reproachful. Once 1t had
seemed to her that Henry Strcetman
was interested in her. But of late she
had been obliged to admit to herself
that that interest had quickly waned.
Her handsome caller paid no atten-
ton to the obvious complaint that lay
in Ethers answer In the most mat
ter-of-fact fashion he proceeded
straight to the business that was up
permost in his mind.
"You must learn at once from Sir
George where the ships at Spithead
are going" he announced bluntly.
Find out If they sail together, or If
they will disperse-and how"
AS she faced him again there was
beseeching in her voice, her eyes, her
whole manner.
"Wait, Henry, waitv' she begged.
Before we go into that, tell me
when are you going to let people know
we're married?"
Streetman remembered then that he
had many sided role to play. And
thereupon he went up to the girl; and
taking one -of Ethers hands in his,
while he put an arm around her, he
looked down at her in a most loverlike
fashion.
"Ah, my dear! I'd let them know
now-this minute-if only couldw he
exclaimed.
But we must announce our mar
rage at once" she said quickly.
Announce our marriage-whyw

few minutes ago that when I said /

THAT we were on our honeymoon?
No! I kept my word to you. said
I was in Brighton" She looked at
him in a puzzled way as he left her
then and paced the floor in nervous
fashion.
"Of course, it's easily proved that
was not in Brighton" Ethel continued.
"Georgy seemed to think you and
I -. Wsil!--you can imagine what
she must have thought Oh! why must
there be this secrecy? I loathe it."
She sank upon the settee and stared
modify at the fioor--a most unhappy
picture of a pretty bride.
Streetman reused himself and bent
over her.

can arrange matters with my family"

trary, not much over the height of
Ethel herself But he was undeniably
impressive. with his keen, gray eyes,

displayed to everybody, there was
something in his bearing that warned

must be troublous times?" Streetman
ventured.

Gathering storm-cIouds.

And then Sir George Wagstaff joined
them, with his trusted butler, Brew
ster, in his wake, bearing a muffin
tray.
I Ethel went gayly to meet her bene-
factor. At least, her manner was
blithesome; but her heart was leaden.
Hello, Sir Georgev' she said.
Hello, Ethelw They were good
pals--those two. The daughter of one
of his oldest and dearest friends,
Ethel had always occupied niche
all her own in Sir Georges affections.

all be arranged" And once more he
turned away from her-this time with
an air of finaIity-as If there were
really no argument against his vague
protestations.
"Soon? You have said that for
month";" Ethel reminded him. you've
said 1t ever since we were married"
'Next week, them" he agreed in des-
peration. Il promise! And you will
learn tonight about the fieet?" he
added In the same breath.
"But, Henry, II ! do ask Sir George
and he tells me, isn't it rather a shah
by thing to do then to come to you
and"
"No. no, no--as I've often told your
he interrupted. 1t seemed to him that
her objections were interminable.
And under the stress of the urging
from his snperiors his forbearance was
fast reaching it's end. To hide his
anxiety and his irritation, he stepped
to the window and looked out.
"But Sir George trusts me-" Ethel
resumed. Streetman stided mouth
filing German oath while he listened
to her. when he answers my ques-
tions," she continued, "he does so be-
cause he thinks I'm just idly curious
He never dreams I'd repeat what he
says to anyone. 1t all puts me in a
beastly position. Sir George is a loyal
Englishman, and IL he thought
Streetman would not let her finish.
| He wheeled about and said sharply, to
forestall even the merest mention of
such thing as an informer-let alone
spy
"And you are loyal Englishwoman
and | am loyal torrance"
Then why do you pass yourself of
as an Englishman"
because it is the wish of my EN-
| ployers, the French secret service. 1t
is the wish of France" he declared in
a grand manner, which he intended to
carry conviction with it.
Its all quite beyond me-" she said
with a hopeless air. They had had
many such discussions. And never
yet had she been able to understand
the reasons that Streetman put forth
with unyarying glibness. "Why should
France wish to know about our fleet?'
"Ah! that / do not know" he re-
Piled "The secret service gives me
their instructions. 1t is for me to fol-
low, not to question them. 1t is my
work-my future" He drew nearer
to her, and his masterful eyes gazed
full into hers. 1T is our future,
Ethel" he cried with apparent emo
| ton.
But isn't France England's allyn
she asked, 81 can't understand why
she should need this information.
"In times like these n is best for
each country to knG all possible
about every country" w explained.
"You will be doing no wrong to Eng
land when you get me the facts l
desire" He sat down beside her, and,
| placing his arm about her, he drew her
close to him. "You will find out to-
night about the fleet?" he pleaded
But there was something about his
persistent wheedling that made Ethel
Willoughby-or Mrs. Streetman-sus.
| picious.
Il can't help feeling that there is
something behind all this-somethng
you are not telling me-" she said
slowly.
Despite his confident air, Streetman
could not easily look into her search
Ing eyes. He was uncomfortable.

upon discussion of any topic--ex
cept such as touched upon his high
office. And there he was exceedingly
touchy.
eYou think, then, there will be war
between Russia and Germanyw
Streetman asked him eagerly. He
could not do otherwise than ignore
Sir Georges slightly frigid reply to
his previous question. If he felt any
resentment, he trusted to be able to
pay off the score in his own way, later
Sir George lifted his eyebrows ever
so slightly as he glanced at Ethel's
caller.
THAT. sir. is a matter l should pre-
fer not to discuss" he replied.
Pardon me, sir, but MS loyal Eng
lishman l am naturally interested"
hind the tea table,
Come, Let's talk of peace and
tea" she said. 1t made her feel guilty
to sit there and hear Streetman try to
pry information out of Sir George be-
meath his own roof. And it seemed
thar the least she could do to- repay
him for his many kindnesses was to
protect him as best she might from
Streetman's indefatigable curiosity.
They had no sooner taken their cups
from her when Georgy Wagstaff burst
into the room.
Hello, everybody she greeted
them. "Here's Guy and his mother"

who was, as everybody knew, more
than devoted to Sir George Wagstaff's

Matinee
"Silly shown the blase Guy added

And SO noisy! Full of shots and

creature who'd sinned and repented."

place on the settec. 81 am glad,
Georgy, that you were not there"
"Oh, l saw it last week." said
Georgy with mischievous satisfaction.

"Oh. frightfully!" said Guy. "Com-

watched her father squirm. Shocking

people.
Don't worry!'' Georgy retortcd.
