THE RUSH.

Consider the squad as one unit of a
plOyed for the sire attack" If it is i'm
practicable for the company to ad-
vance as whole against the enemy's
lines, it 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
OefD RUSHw 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 a kneel-
ing position, gather themselves in read
mess to spring forward. The corporal,
at the word "RUSHW cries Follow
mel" and, running at top speed, and
bent over to offer as small a target
as possible to the enemy, leads the
squad to the new line. Here the men
drop to the prone position at the cor
porals 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

rush when its immediate predecessor
has gained the new line. The various
positions that the soldier takes in the
skirmish line for firing, such as lyin~
prone or kneeling, will be explained in

SILK HAT LOSES POPULARITY
In Londos, Where Every Man Wore
"Topper" Until Recently, Caps
Are Now the Rule.

Our Grandfathers wore "stOvepipe
hats" and the hats of politicians were
one time frequently called plug hats"
This male head-dress, even more ex-
traOrdinary than the derby, books of
etiquette sometimes say should not
call silk hat" but "high hat" In
London but a few years ago no man
ever went into the city with other
than top hat, or topper" as they say
over there.
1t is said that the going out of gen
eral favor of the silk hat has been oc-
casioned in a considerable degree by
the popularity of raincoats in prefer
ence to umbrellas. If yod observe any
great crowd in England today you will
find in it few hats of any kind; it is
in the main a sea of caps. The Ameri-
can dude" and the antebellum British
"knut" always wore silk hats.

On the common not 200 yards from

earthworks where recruits in the re-

These heads are on a hinge, and may
appear in any one of half dozen diff
ferent traverses or emplacements. The
observer has to be continually on the
alert, and the bomber must also keep
all his wits about him, so that he can
make his blind throw as efficacious as
possible. "A

Somethind New.

the Royal Asiatic society in Shanghai
From 1000 Chinese words, which he

examples to uphold his belief. For
instance, he compared the translit

and dry the potatoes, place them in &
hole in bank of ashes, cover, and
then place n shOvelful of fine Goals
over the ashes. When the potatoes are
done, serve with butter.
Fried Sweet Potatoes.-Peel anC
slice the potatoes rather thick, sprinkle
with salt, then pour hot water ovel
them and let them stand a few min
utes before beginning to fry. Now put
them, two layers at a time, in an iron
frying pan with little hot fat which
is very hot before putting in the po
tatOes. Cover and let stand until the
potatoes begin to soften, then put them
over the direct heat with the cover off
to brown. Drain on a piece of paper
put into a dripping pan and keep them
hot until ready to serve.
Sliced Potato Pie.-Line an ordinary
granite baking dish four inches deep
with a biscuit crust, bottom and sides.
Slice ordinary potatoes OnefOurth of
an inch in thickness, better not toe
thin, and fill the pan fairly full, on
each slice place a gOod-sized piece OF
butter, sprinkle with graduated sugar,
and dust with nutmeg, adding a few
cloves here and there. When the pan
is nearly full, fill the spaces with wa.
ter, and as it settles add a little more
to barely cover the potatoes. On top
of the potatoes place the butter, place
in a moderate oven and cook until
straw will pierce the potatoes, then
remove and put on a latticed crust,
sprinkle with sugar and nutmeg and
bake until the crust is brown. This
is a favOrite dish with the old-time
SOutherners.
Sweet potatoes baked and pressed
through a ricer are used in a steamed
pudding much as carrots are used.

Gated upon the use of the rifle, for he

For various reasons, depending upon
the immediate situation, it 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 it, 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, it is desirable to
cover a wider front, instead of the
command, GAS skirmishers, MARCH !"
(When the men deploy at half-pace in
tervals), the command may be. CAS-

This would mean that, instead of the
half-pace, or Is inches, twice the full
pace, or go inches, would intervene be.

tend the squad front over a distance OF
approximately 20 PAGES, or so feet, and
thus increasing the front of, or the tey
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-ordpr
drill, for it symbolizes real fighting.
He must be so grounded in the details
of it that he will execute them auto
matically when in action, for, once I'M

to think about besides how he is to
reach the designated point at the des-
ignated time. The use of his rifle will
require his full and active attention.
