BILE" by moving the arm in quick circles

each platoon or squad, as the case may
be, advance, and moving to the right or
left, take their proper places In line.
Each unit assemblies on the leading
element of the column and reforms in

Gated by the captain, and to their
places in line. The company is re-
formed In line.
Another method whereby the adj
vance may be accomplished by sue
cession of thin lines" is as follows:
The captain points out in advance the
selected position to be occupied, which
is generally from 100 to $50 yards to
the front, depending upon the terrain
and the character Of the hostile fire.
The captain gives the command,
"(Such numbers) forward, march |"

moves to the front until he reaches the
new line. In this line, the original In
tervals are preserved as nearly as prac-

Is sent forward when the first has ad-

tances between these thin advancing
lines are purposely made irregular.
Each number halts upon arriving at

PLATOON AND SQUAD COLUMNS

Having learned the principle of the
advance as conducted by platoon or
squad columns-the succession of thin
lines"-it is now necessary to see how
this is to be done. Being in skirmish
line. at the command, "Platoon col
umns, march," the platoon leaders
move forward through the center of
their respective platoons. When the
company is deployed, the platoon lead
err 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 Gas 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
files, which is now conducted by the
platoon 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 his 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 profit
ably used where the ground is 30 diff
cult and the cover so limited as to
make 1t desirable to take advantage Of
q few favorable routes, and no two
platoons should march within the area
of burst Of single shrapnel. Squad
columns are Of value principally in ex-
pediting progress over rough or brush
green ground.
To deploy platoon or squad columns,
the command is, "As sklrmishers,
march," Skirmishers then move to the
right or left front successfully and
place themselves In their original po-
sitions in line.
From platoon or squad columns, the
company Is thus assembled. At the
command, Assemble. march," the pla-
toon or squad leaders signal Assem-

CHAPTER XIII.
Der Tag.


Meanwhile Ethel Willoughby, alias
Madame de Lorde, strolled almlessly
to the cigar counter and leaned neg
ligently against 1t. Her feelings were
decidedly mixed-compounded of pleas
ure and uneas!ness. As it turned out,
she found 1t agreeable to meet Mr..
Brown. 1t was distinct relief to be
able to talk to someone against whom
she was under no necessity of being
on her guard. But at the same time, a
matter Of business had brought her to
Courvoisier, and the inn. To be sure,
Streetman expected to join her there
later. But in the meantime Ethel ex-
pected to meet someone else first. Who
that person might be she did not know,
except that the unknown was a SPY
in the service of the French.
No sooner did he find himself alone
with Ethel than the little Frenchman
dropped his paper.
"Bonjour, madamcl" he said.
II beg your pardonw Ethel said.
"Do not look around--stay where
you are" the stranger told her crisply.
All at once 1t occurred to her that
this somewhat inferior-looking indi-
vidual might be he whom she sought.
But she could not be sure. And she
resolved to bide her time.
Really, SIR" she said, with assumed
hauteur, Il beg you to explain this
mystery--this-"
Mystery" he took the word out
of her mouth-"shall we say rather
the mystery of General Jacques" he
corrected her politely.

Clay Figures for Movies.

In new style Of moving pictures
little clay models Of human figures
are used to represent the actors. The
result, when seen on the screen, is
both startling and amusing, the tiny
clay figures seeming to walk, jump
and go through all the motions Of
talking and singing. as II actually
alive. Such pictures are called ami
mated sculpture. They owe their
origin to woman sculptor Of New
York, whose clayfolk. as she calls
them, are photographed In a success
sion Of slightly different poses. each
specially modelled to carry out the
action Of regular scenario or film
story. The process Of molding the
figures Is slow and laborious, as 16
different poses are required to make
foot Of film. Thus II the action Of
the story calls for four actors In the
picture. a aim Of ordinary length,
say 200 feet, requires the careful mold
ing by the sculptor's hands Of at least
1880 different poses for the clay
figures. In some scenes, however, only
slight changes are needed to give the
necessary animation, these being
quickly made by the deft touch of the
sculptor.-Popular Mechanics Maya.
