SELF HELPS for the
NEW SOLDIER
By a United State, Army Officer
THE coRPoRAL's IMPORTANCE IN
EXTENDED ORDER.
toOpyrsht, 1917, By tho whoelor syndicate, 1no,

We have seen that, as the squad Is
initiated into extended order the men
ton of the corporal becomes more fire.
quent. In the same degree, his impor-
tance increases, For, while corporal
commands a squad In close order to a
limited extent, he exercises more au-
thority and discretion when 1t Is de-
ployed In q line of skirmishers. He
then has the responsibility for the con-
duct and safety of his men under vary
ing conditions and rules far less MI
nutely prescribed.
II the new soldier, in verdant igno-
rance, has been incllred to resent the
corporal and his exercise of authority
heretofore, he will appreciate 1t dis
tlnctiy now. For exactly as the rules
for extended order work are less cut
and dried than in close order, generally
speaking, the new soldier now feels the
need for encouragement and guidance.
The function of corporal is to encour-
age and instruct as well as command
his men.
When a squad is deployed on the
firing line with platoon or company,
the corporal transmits to his men
commands and signals from the officers
when necessary. Even when 1t is not,
at all times he observes the conduct of
his squad and by talking in cheer
full, encouraging manner-verbal pats
on the back-abates the excitement
"The best troops" says the Drill Regu-
lations, "are those that submit longest
to fire control. Loss Of control is an
result. To avoid or delay such loss
should be the constant aim Of ALL"
In everyday, unmilitary English, this
means that the last troops to "blow
up" In fight will win. Therefore,
never blow up. 1t Is the cOrpordls
job to see that the new soldier does
not blow up. And the new soldier,
after a skirmish exercise, even
against blank cartridges, will find that
he is extravagantly grateful for every
word with which the corporal has
helped to keep him firmly anchored to
the ground.
The experience Of citizen soldiers on
the Mexican border and, in more i'm
portant degree, in the new armies Of
England, has shown that obedience to
the corporal and the sergeant, carried
still step further to obedience to the
senior private, then to. the next In
length Of service, rather than making
men servile, has an effect quite the
opposite. For each man thereby learns
automatically to command the next
man below him, and in a battle, IL
his noncommlssiOned officer or seniors
are put out of action, he assumes
their authority without hitch.

THE RUSH.

Consider the squad as one unit of
company on the skirmish line, de-
ployed for the Sire attack" If 1t isim-
practicable for the company to ad-
vance as whole against the epemy's
lines, 1t may advance in rushes. This
is done either by platoons or by squad.
The new line to be occupied is indi-
Gated by the platoon leader or the cap
tain of the company, who gives the
command "By squad, from the right
Qeft) RUSH!" This means that the
squad ON the extreme right Of the
company Is to move, or rush, to the
new line first.
The men of the squad, who may be
lying fiat on the ground, or In kneel-
ing position, gather themselves in read
iness to spring forward. The corporal,
ut the word "RUSH" cries Follow
mel" and, running at top speed, and
bent over to offer as small target
as possible to the enemy, lends the
squad to the new line. Here the men
drop to the prone position at the cor
poral's command or the signal for
"halt," made by thrusting the arm up
vertically from the shoulder, and at
his command reopen fire. Unless the
platoon or company commander has
designated the distance to be covered
in the rush, the corporal of the squad
selects the new line.
After the first squad has taken up
the new line, the other squads fol-
low In succession, each starting the
rush when Its immediate predecessor
has gained the new line. The various
positions that the soldier takes In the
sklrmish line for firing, such as lying
prone or kneeling, will be explained in
another article. 1t should also be
stated that u knowledge of the rifle
must be assumed In this and later
illustrations Of extended-order work,
since the manual of arms, loadings and
frings cannot be adequately put down
on paper for young recruits. More so
than any other part of the drill regu-
lations, this must be taught by con-
crete example. In other words, the
new soldier can familiarize himself
with the rife when he has q rifle In
hand, but he may otherwise school
himself in the squad or company move
ments which accompany or are predi-
Gated upon the use of the rife, for he

A sIroht Reservation.

Miranda was an incurable optlmist
and the embodiment of kindliness.
She would never admit that anything
was wrong with anyone, although
sometimes facts pushed her hard. Her
young mistress had many suitors, and
the latest recruit to the ranks could
boast rs little in the way of good looks
as was humanely possible.
"Grand-looking chap, isn't he, Mi
randy?' queried Miss Annette's mis-
chievous brother, when the guest had
departed.
Miranda tcetered perllously between
truth and charity. "Co'se he was"
she answered presently, with dignity.
'Han'some gintleman-han some gin
tlemun."
At that point honesty got the upper
hand. "'Cep't'n," she added consci-
entiously, "fer his features"

can carry through the squad or COM
pany movements with broomstick.
For various reasons, depending upon
the immediate situation, 1t may be nee
essary for the squad to increase or di
minish the interval at which the men
are deployed. For instance, the space
to be covered may be wider or mar
rover than the ten PAGES which the
normal interval would give for the
squad front, or, he fire of the enemy
may at this point be so "hot" that, in
order to advance against 1t, the
chances of casualties must be reduced
by widening the space between the
men.
If the latter be the case, or If, as
previously stated, 1t is desirable to
cover q wider front, instead of the
command, "As skirmishers, MARCH !"
(when the men deploy at half-pace in
tervals)y the command may be, "As
skirmishers, at two PAGES, MARCH ~
This would mean that, instead of the
half-pace, or Is inches, twice the full
pace, or 60 inches, would intervene be-
tween each two men. This would ex-
tend the squad front over distance Of
approximately 20 PAGES, or 80 feet, and
thus increasing the front of, or the ter
ritory covered by, the squad, reduce
materially the chance of each man be-
ing hit.
1t is essential for the new soldier to
pay the closest heed to extended-order
drill, for it symbolizes real fighting.
He must be so grounded in the details
Of 1t that he will execute them auto
matlcally when in action.

WHY BLOOD SHOULD Be RED

The bright red color OF the blood is
caused by the presence in it ofred cor
puscles. 1t is these little bodies that
carry nourishment to the tissues.
They also cause the glow Of health in
cheeks and lips.
When the blood is deficient in these
red corpuscles the person not only be-
comes pale but the body is under
nourished, the weight is usually re-
duced and as the nerves share in the
general starvation some form of ner-
vousness follows. When the blood is
improved in quality the tissues are
better nourished and all the functions
OF the body are better performed.
When the blood lacks red corpus
cles it is aiseieniiiic fact that a course
Of treatment with DR. Williams Pink
Pills will cause them to increase, uhiS
can be demonstrated BY lasmicnoscarnS

by looking inc mirror, for an Increase
