Missouria Rhetoric

Mr.. Clark is an orator, and
doubtless ii is most natural for
him to fall into an orators errors.
He clings to the fantastic idea,
common to orators, that the war
can be won by cratory. He pre-
fers sonorous phrases to common
sense. He puts more trust in tur-
gid eloquence of the Country-God
-and-Mother school than he does
in regiment of artillery. In
short, he is a sentimentalist.
But there is nothing sentiment
tai about this war. The argument
that will impress the Germans
must come from the mouths of
cannon, not those of silver
tongued orators. To rely on senti-
ment, when the kaiser is to be
dealt with, is not only,foolish but
is a hideous wrong to the young
men who will defend the flag,
and to every one who loves them.
Sloppy sentiment of the Champ
Clark kind fattened the grave
yards of Flanders with hundreds
of thousands of English dead.
Must a similar sacrifice to false
pride and silly vanity be exacted
from America? The very thought
is sickening.
In Gods name, gentlemen of
the house, let US have done with
empty phrases. If there is one
good argument for the volunteer
system, bring it out, by all means.
But spare us any more hollow
rhetoric. Silence the rant about
the courage of Americans. We
are brave men. We know it. All
lnen are brave men Belgians,
Germans, Austrians, Serbs,
French, Russians, Bull
gars, Turks, and Senegal negroes
have alike faced death without
a culver. Physical courage is the
commonest virtue in the world.
But we want more than physical
We wants high intelli-
gence, especially in the chief
command. If the volunteer

A political hegemony whose

a coalition greater than that

Desperation alone can now

realize the utter folly of the false
gods to which they have bent in
servile submission for forty years,
every thinking man must hope
that no premature peace may

peace of military victory I'M

XXXVIIL.-Platoon and
SQUAD Columns.

Having learned the principle OF
the advance as conducted by platoon
or squad column-the succession OF
thin lines"-it is now necessary to see
how this is to be done. Being In
skirmish line, at the command. "Pia-
toon column, march,, the platoon
leaders move forward through the
center of their respective platoons.
When the company Is deployed, the
platoon leader is posted in the rear
OF the line. in order to control the fire
of his men. Having moved through
the center of his platoon, the men
to the right of the platoon leader (as
he passes through the line) march to
the left and follow him In single file;
likewise, those on the left march TO
the right. This constitutes a double
column of fles. which Is now con-
Quoted by the platoon leader. Pla-
toon leader. Platoon guides follow in
the rear.
The command. Squad columns,
march," is executed in a similar way.
Each squad leader moves to the front.
and the members of the squad oblique
toward him and follow in single file
at easy marching distances.
To reiterate what was said in the
last article. platoon columns are prof
itably used where the ground is 80
difficult and the cover so limited as
to make il desirable to take sdvan-
tage of a few favorable routes. and
no two platoons should march within
the area Of a burst OF a single shrap-
nel. Squad columns are OF value
principally In expediting progress
over rough or brush-grown ground.
To deploy platoon or squad columns,
the command is. As skirmishers,
