 The front rank moves then. as in Squad Right. The movement of the rear rank, however, Is somewhat diff ferent from the same ranks task in Squad Right. and this difference should be carefully noted Thus, in the rear rank. the third man from the right-No. 3-followed. by Nos. ? and No. 1 in column, moves straight to the front until 'ontthe prolongation of the line (f0 inches in the rear of the front rank) to be occupied by the rear rank; changes direction to the right: moves in the new direction until. he, and Nos. 2 and also. are each in rear of his respective front rank man, when all face toward the right in marching, mark time, and glance to- ward the marching flank.
 The fourth man marches on the left of the third man to his now posi- ton, and, as he arrives on the line, both ranks execute Forward March'' -on the second count of six-with- out further command.
 A simple waysto make this move- ment plain in all its details Is to exe- cute it with eight squares of wood or cardboard about the size of check. CTS. placed in the position of a Squad.

GOVERNMENT OFFERED LAND
FOR MOBILIZATION CAMP SITE

ATLANTA, Ca. April 1S.-Five
thousand acres of land on the Chatta-
hoochee river have been offered, free
of charge, to the government as a mob
ilization camp by Captain James w.
English, president of the Fourth Ma
tienal Bank of this city and veteran
of the Civil War
If the government insists on paying
some rental, Captain English offers the
tract for the nominal sum of $4,000 a
year., which is at the rate of about 81
per acre, per annum.
Captain English is a strong believer
in peace so long as peace can be main
tanned with honor, but that war when
launched should be prosecuted with the
whole of the nations power, and he is
likewise an advocate of universal mali
tary service, having introduced a res
olution endorsing it, which was unan-
imously adopted by the Atlanta Com
mercial Exchange.

will sing marching into battle. The
objection is not that it is a Southern
melody, but simply that because of its
quick rag-time tempo it cannot be
sun in time to the step of marching
men. You can march along for hours
whistling "Tipperary" Or THE Mar
seillaise," but you have to dance, if
you want to keep time to Dixie"
Besides, nobody ever dicides before

pick as their battle song. "Tipperary"
