Rubber Consumption Growing.

Consumption of rubber per capita is
more than twice what it was % years
ago. One company expects to manu-
facture uppers of shoes from rubber
as well as soles. This company will
operate its own merchant marine to
bring crude rubber from Sumatra and
carry manufactured articles to all
parts of the world. The company now
employs 2S.621 men, and manufactures
21S930 pairs of rubber shoes a day
More than million trees on Sumatra

COMMANDS AND HOW AND WHY
GIVEN.


ponds a great deal upon the way in
which it is given. While it is true
that green soldiers may not be able to
execute in clean-cut way a command
which has been properly given, even
veteran troops will become slipshod if
Il command is mumbled or drawled in
a spiritless fashion by their command
er. This would be the fault of the Off
Ger, for the work of a soldier is n
credit to, or reflection upon, the abil
ity of his officer. Nevertheless, if SOL
der will not apply his intelligence and
responsiveness to the words he hears
in short, if he goes to sleep on his
feet-then the best officer in the world
cannot make a real soldier of him.
Every command is divided into two
parts, or, into two separate commands.
The first is called the preparatory
command-the second the command of
execution.
The preparatory command is intend
ed to inform the soldier of the move
ment which is to be executed. 1t should
be given with a rising infection. for it
not only should inform the soldier, but
it should bring his faculties to a poise
ready for instant response to the sec
ond half of the command, or the COM
mand of execution.
The rising reflection has the effect
of balancing the soldier-psychologic
ally-on the edge of the movement.
Yet he must not twitch a muscle, on
receiving it. The whole movement is
damaged If one soldier anticipates the
command of execution or even exhibits
nervous shiftings of the hands and
feet.
The command of execution is given
at the precise instant the movement is
to commence.
While the tone of the preparatory
command must be animated" the
command of execution is required by
the infantry drill regulations to be
more energetic''-''firm in tone and
brief" In other words and in plain,
unmilitary English, the command of
execution must sound like pistol shot
and authoritative in the extreme,
bringing instant obedience from the
soldier.
A short interval should always
elapse between the preparatory COM
mand and the command of execution.
In the drill regulations, the former is
printed in black italics and the latter
in black capitals.
A command is given as follows:
FORWARD MARCHr, ABOUT
FACE" COLUMN RIGHT
MARCH," left OBLIQUE
MARCH, FRIGHT SHOULDER
ARMS" Company (squad)
HALTr
When, as is the case in a few in
stances, the command is a single word,
it is divided by syllables into a prepa-
ratory command and a command of ex-
ecution- Thus, attention" is pro-
nounced:
Commands, signals or orders are
the three classes of directions given to
troops-many commands being by sig
nails. These signals may be conveyed
either by a whistle, the bugle, pre-
scribed motions of the commanding Of
ficer's arms, or by flags. An order is
employed only when the commands pre-
scribed do not sufficiently indicate the
will of the commander. In other
words, commands are of limited and
more or less rigid nature, while spe-
cial instructions to one or more men
constitute al order. This may be COM
municated either by word Of mouth, in
writing, by telephone, telegraph, or by
flag signals.

The ReIchsrath a Babel.

That parliament of Babel, the
reichsrath, now engaged in playing an
obscure part in the AustroHungarian
peace hunt, is permitted to express its
emotions in eight official languages
symbolic of the war of tongues raging
in the empire itself. In the great vocal
chorus the Slovenian may be said to
have struck the strident top note, for
the very word he has coined for him
self expresses the belief that no man
is a talker except himself. "Slowan,"
in Old Slovenian, meant ito speak"
and as the Slav understood no other
speech, the others were naturally the
dumb dogs.-Londonr Daily Chronicle

razcrs watches, sidearms, even rifles
and hats. He does things rather more
OF less. But the man who will be
commissioned as an officer over your
son, your brother or your friend, will
have learned not to do things that
way. He will! have learned what hts
responsibility IL. And when he gets
into the National Army camp his big
Eest responsibility will be his men.
In the minds OF the regular army
ofncOrs at the training camps who
will select the officers for the Ma
tionGl Army are two questions which
each will answer in reference to each
man recommended for a commission:
First Would 1 want my son 90
serve under him?
Second. Would I want to serve under
him?
Each officer is on honor to answer
those questions to himself truthfully.
Uncle Sam can be, and l believe
Uncle Sam will be, proud OF the train
ing camps and OF the men who come
out Of them as officers. / know that
the army men who have been on the
job At Fort Myer land they certainly
have been on the job) are tremen-
douSiy gratihed at results and are
confident that when their officers get
into the training OF the National
Army and when, later, the National
Army goes to France, Il will be an
organization OF which any nation may
be proud. They are sure that the
pudding will be good eating.
A variety, or combination, OF sig
nifeGnt circumstances undoubtedly
contributes to that confidence. The
FIRST Is that the system, the principle.
OF the method OF selecting potential
material and training Is sound.
Every army man who knows anything
at all about what has happened be
lieves that. A second circumstance
IL that the organization, from the
Secretary OF War down to the young
est Instructor, has been efficient
Every officer has worked as he never
worked before.
Come now two circumstances OF
especial significance. which, in the
opinion Of every one who has watch
ed the work Of the camp, account in
large measure for the good results
that are anticipated. Absence of
political influence and presence Of
prohibition. Written authority from
