Advancing Across Wide Stretches Ex.
 posed to Fire.

pOS0O CO F1F0s
 The advance in such a succession of thin lines as that described in the last article is used to progress across wide fire, or by long range rifle fire. In short, this type of advance Is un- dertaken in places exposed to fire which it would be profitless to return. The advance by short rushes would both be costly (because of the com- parative concentration of the men In the hre-swept area) and impractic- able, since to return rife fire against artillery would be futile. It would be almost equally futile against long, range rifle fire. However, when the thin lines have advanced, as was said before, from 100 to 250 yards. they may then be in 8 better position to return the fro.
 The purpose of this movement ia to build up strong skirmish line al point where it may engage in fire fight, and to build 1t up with the min- mum cost. This method, while ad- vantageous from certain standpoints also has it's drawbacks. Because, during the progress of the advance, there Is almost entire loss of control over the company. Each individual is left to his own initiative in reach" ing the new line, but unless other wise specified, the advance Is con- ducted in quick time. and there Is . general uniformity of movement.
 Yet the seriousness of the loss o1 control depends very largely upon the previous training and discipline of the company. If this has been of the proper kind, and the company Is suf- ficiently grounded in discipline, team work, and espirit de corps, 1t will con- tinue to assert itself even when the man is proceeding across the exposed area alone.

OBSERVERS FLEE
 ID SWITZERLAND
Majority of Them Are Said to
 Be Italians

Borne, Switzerland. Juno s.rABe. tween 10000 and 1s.oo0 desSrtors from the armies of the Entente llliess and the Central Powers pave hed to Switzerland since the beginning of tho war, or have refused to leave the country at the conclusion ot nlr-i loughs and thus are chased as te- serters. Tho majority are said to U Italians.
 The long list constitutes . not in- consid dcrable problem for the author tiles. They enjoy the same rights as other foreigners who are here leRit- imately, yet cannot be drawn on in any way for taxes or state expenses. They pay no military tax of immunity, and not infrequently commit deeds that make 1t necessary to send them to jail-where their support naturally. falls on the confederation.
 As 8 problem they may be said to rank in vexatiousness with the in- numerable and constant violations of neutrality which come to light almost daily, especially on the part of the French and the Germans.
 The general staff of the army an- nounces on an average dozen aerial violations week by aviators who "cut across lots'' on the way to or from France or Germany. and who cross the little neck of Switzerland that juts up into both countries in the northwest corner of the country.
 This little neok also is weekly the target for both French and German shells. The gunners. far behind the lines, get wrong ranges and "shoot up" Swiss territory before they can be told of their mistake.
 Less often, but occasionally, pris- oners of war attempt to escape either from Germany or France, and are shot and killed after they have reached Swiss territory, or else the pursuing shots crash over into Swiss territory and menace those on this side.
 It Is generally the case that fugi- lives who do manage to reach this side, regardless of where they ocne from, are royalty and handeomelv treated. Recently four Russians es- capped from Germany, swan the Rhine. and landed on Swiss soil. They were met by a veritable reception committee on this side, were given . meal that satisfied even their enor- nous, starved appetites, and were yen~. orally feted before being escortsd to an internment camp where they wlll spend the rest of the var. s !,

It is precisely the same as with ! back-feld player on football eleven: He is alone, his responsibility is sim gle, generally speaking, but at that he never loses his consciousness of team play and the essential co-ordina- tion of his efforts with those of the rest of his team.
 Against the possible disadvantage of a temporary loss of control over the company, moreover, is the more than compromising advantage that such an advance Is less likely to draw fire. This IS not only important from the standpoint of casualties, but would in itself reduce the degree in which such control may be lost. In other words, 1t would be even more difficult to re- tain control over a deployed company which Is subject to a whitening fire than over company advancing in succession of thin lines, if the fro is scattering and intellectual.
 The war in Europe has in many respects cancelled previous theories Of combat. In view of such develop ments the regulations specifically state that other and better formations may be devised to fit particular cases. But this basic principle remains: "The best formation is the one which ad- vances the line furthest with the least loss of men, time and control"
 Training in the existing regulations for extended order work, therefore, schools the young soldier in the un- deriving purpose of the fire attack and after comprehending this he can much more easily adapt himself to any special methods which conditions may require.
 Tomorrow's article will describe The Charge.

They are the ones who must take up where we leave of. They are the nation of tomorrow. Any idea of drafting them into the ranks of work men and workwomen then Is prepos- terous There must be other ways of solving the problem of labor short age without taking young boys and girls away from their means of edu- cation,-the schools. There Is. It Is this: Rigid economy on the part of every man and woman in the nation. By a cutting down of luxuries, a cur tailment of all unnecessary things, there will not be need for so many workers in so many diversified lines. Only the necessaries of life are abso- lutely essential to manufacture when a nation is at war. England has learned this. France has learned it, Germany knew it long ago, and now the United States and its people must come to an understanding. England, to her sorrow, sacrificed her children by taking them from school and putting them to work in the shops and fac- tories and mills. America must make no such mistake. In a manufacturing city like New Britain we may be able to show the rest of the nation how to solve the labor shortage problem even should great number of our workmen be called away. There is always another way ts do things when minds set out to search.

ALWAYS A WAY.

Like the calm after the storm. there must come a period of recon struction after the first rush of war which has to do with the raising of formidable army. Taking so many yonng men away from their peaceful pursuits and placing them in the ranks of fighting men must neoes- sarily call for a shake-up in the 1n- dustrial forces of the nation. True, the Selective Draft Is primarily de- signed to keep at home the men best suited. for work in the factories and on the farms and to send to the firing lines only those who can best be spared. But two million men in the army must inevitably be missed at home Granted that but one-half of those who go are self supporting, are workers and toilers there must be gotten one million substitutes for their places ip the various industries. even in the professions. Where are these substitutes coming from? For the most part they will be drafted from the current graduating classes of athe high schools throughout the country. Tn fear Of a dearth of labor even when high school graduates step forward. it has been suggested that Children in the thmary grades be caNed upon. be compelled to go to work in the. mills and factories. And right there. Mr. Samuel Gompers, al-
 ways looking after the interests of labor. steps up and says, ':No! We must not txke the children" Those wh4 adSacate. this radical step natlrl ally have in mind the suspensions of the Federal Child Labor law. To this the head of the American Federation
 of Labor makes .. gallant protest
 Ever at the present moment there is noticeable shortage of labor in the United States. With the begin. ming of the European war and the
 consequent shutting down of emigra- ton, not to mention the great tide ol reservists that flowed back to the old countries, America began to feel the shortage of labor. With our own en- trance into the conflict and athe at- tendant task of raising sthis great army of 100000 men the shortage must necessarily become more per ceptible. And with the shortage must come some manner or means of filling the industrial ranks. We are with Mr Gompers heart and soul in his stand against the suspension Of the Federal Child Labor law. The nation, nc
 matter how menacing the labor short
 age may appear at this time, and viii
 become later. cannot afford to roh the cradie. The litt1S ones, the chil. drsu q the nation AxA cur msinstax; . : 4~ sr% T

U. 5. CITIZENS ARE RATED AS ALIENS
British Require Registration of
 Residents of This Country

London. June 6.-Many Americans in London were surprised and disap- pointed when they learned that. when the United States entered tho war, they were not automatically relieved of the necessity of observing the British police regulations affecting aliens. This is especially true of the Americans who have arrived here since the early part of 1916. These must report their movements to the authorities just as all other aliens, whether allies or neutrals, are re- quired to do.
 There Is a considerable amount of red tape involved in the police regula- tions and, no sooner had the United States thrown in its lot on the side of the Entente allies, than many Americans got the impression that they, would be relieved of this war time necessity. When they found out that their status in this respect re- mained unchanged by the turn of events many of them appealed to the United States embassy and consulate for further information. They were told that there was no indication of any change.
 Every American who has arrived here since the early months of 1916 must have an identity book Besides name. nationality date and a signed photograph, 1t must bear the signa ture and guarantees of two British subjects, property owners who have. at the same time, seen the holder of the book sign his name to 1t. Before the book is received, a signed photo graph must be left at the police station. In some instances two months elapses before the applicant is able to obtain his book.
 when an American moves from one part of the city to another he must re- port to the police stations in both districts and have his book. stanped by the aliens officer. Much the same procedure is required when he goes on . visit to another city. In every town where he stays over night he must report to the police, giving all particulars as to birth, nationality of self and parents description of physical features, etc. At the hotel at which he stays he must repeat all these same details on large sheet of paper which he is requjfed to ,,siRn again before he can leave the hotel
 In certain sections of England .a new rule has just been put into efTeds which requires 9lie4g to first present themselves at police headquarters be- fore they will be given a room in .. hotel. The police issue a permit en. titling the holder to stay-a4 the hotel
 A party of American business men from London were required to do this recently upon their arrival ii Liverpool. Their train brought them into Liverpool around 3 a. m They were tired and hungry and the trip to the police station consumed another hour. But all went through with the red tape good naturedly, realizing that to be allowed to travel at all in any of the belligerent countries at this time Is somewhat of a privilege
