JOSEPH H. CHOATE DIES SUDDENLY AT
 HOME IN NEW YORK
(Continued from First Page.)

gave him the power to hold the att tention of the juries in the dullest cases, and legal skill.
 It is on record that, during his younger days, he had the daring to rebuke judge, who had turned to converse with someone behind him. while Choate was addressing the court. Choate stopped short in his address. The judge remarked the silence, and as his honor turned to face the room the lawyer began anew:
 Your Honor, I shall need all the time allotted me for summing up: and shall need your honor's undi- vided attention"
 And you shall have it," the court apologized.
 Mir Choate was a republican but had never held public office. beyond brief term as member of 8 state constitu- tional convention, when. he was in- vited by President Mckinley in 1899 to go to London as the American am- bassador. At farewell dinner at the Union League club, MT. Choate re- marked upon his inexperience in po- litical or diplomatic life. I shall rely" he said, "upon happy tenn perament."
 After his six years in England he was lauded on both sides of the At lantic for the remarkable success he had had in strengthening the ties be- tween the English speaking peoples. Ills range of sociability made him known as ambassador to the people as we'll as to the court. NumberlessN times he appeared as a lecturer on American institutions and American statesmen

EXTENDED ORDER.

Everything we have taken up so far from "The School of The Squad" ex- cept Take Interval" and '"Take Dis tance," has been "Close Order drilf.
 Close Order is necessary for march ing, parade and disciplinary purposes. but in modern warfare-that is, out side of a trench-a squad fights in Extended order. Even in a trench, the principle of the extended order is maintained; that is to. say, the dts tance between rifles is approximately the same as when deployed on the skirmish line. Of all tho great armies in Europe, the Germans alone at the present time send troops into battle in Close Order, or "massed for nation with the result that their casualties are appalling. In trench warfare. also, the Germans place men virtually in Close Order or almost shoulder to shoulder.
 Extended Order, on the other hand. a characteristic of American troops. is also uniformly practiced by the Allied armies. The purpose of Ex- tended Order is to distribute the men of a squad that they may work in unison and without serious reduction of the amount of fire which can be de- lIVcIeO AAONl d SlHSl0 S0CC1OH OI IH0 line, but which at the same time leaves sufficient space between them to minimize the chances of their being hit.
 Even a machine gun would not annihilate a Squad in Extended Order quite so expeditiously as it could dis pose of one in Close Order. For not only does the Extended Order sepa- rate the men, and in that degree in- crease their chances of escaping bull let's, but 1t also affords then infinitely better chances of finding cover while advancing. \One might drop down behind a clump or a bush. whereas at the same spot eight could find no protection worth considering.
 To deploy ."As Skirmishes," which is the descriptive command for FIX tended Order drill, the Corporal. at the command of execution, March, springs in front of the Squad, If he does not occupy that position already At a run, the other member" of the Squad place themselves abreast of the 1 Corporal at half pace intervals. Since a pace is thirty inches, there is fifteen inches of space between men so de- ployed. instead of the. four inches of ! Close Order. No. of the front rank springs to | the Corporal's .immediate right. No. l of the rear rank takes station to tho 1 immediate right of No. front rank. | No. 1 front rank Is on the immediate right of No. 2 rear rank .and No. l 1 rear rank on the right of No. front 1 rank. On the Corporals immediate left Is No. 3 rear rank, who has No. 3 front rank on his left. while on No. 3 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 them selves on the right of their respective file leaders, and each front rank man, in springing to the side of the Cor poral, leaves room for the rear rank man of the same number to step into his proper position in the skirmish line. N
 If there are any extra men in the Squad (which sometimes happens), they fall in at the left of No. 1 rear

Stop Public Improvements!
 (Boston Herald.)

Neither the state nor the city should undertake during the coming sum- mer any construction work that is not absolutely necessary. The prices of all materials are far above the normal level and are likely to remain so for some time Private employnents will be able to absorb all the labor that Is anywhere available and to pay more than the customary rate of wages. Public authority ought not to enter into competition with the farmer and the manufacturer in order to carry through any construction work which can be postposed without great incon- venience.

Farmers Want Government
to Set Selling Price.

Chicago. Nov. IA milk famine Is
due in Chicago tomorrow. Not more
than 20 per cent Of the normal GUAM
tity of milk was delivered today at
the collecting stations and factories In
the dairy district about the city, ana
this is the supply on which the city
will have to subsist tomorrow.
At the office of the Borden company,
one of the largest distributors in the
city, 1t was said that farmers reported
at the company's Is collecting stations
that they would accept any reasonable
figure set by a responsible agent for
the government, but that they would
fight to the limit against the 33 Of
fered by the distributors for each
hundred weight of milk, unless the gov
eminent said that the price was just
one. They claim that they cannot
maintain their herds even at the Octo-
Der price Of $3.42.
Any destruction or interference with
the milk supply by farmers or others
will be followed by federal prosecution.
