EXTENDED ORDER.

Everything we have taken up SO far
from ''the school of the squad" except
s'take interval" and stake distance"
has been "close order" drill.
Close order is necessary for march
ing, parade and disciplinary purposes,
but in modern warfare-that is, out
side of a trench-a squad fights in ex-
tended order. Even in trench, the
principle Of the extended order is main
tanned; that is to say, the distance be-
tween rifles is approximately the same
as when deployed on it's skirmish line.
OF all the great armies in Europe, the
Germans alone at the present time
send troops into battle in close order,
or "massed formation" with the result
that their casualties are appalling.
Extended order, on the other hand, q
characteristic Of American troops, is
also uniformly practiced by the allied
armies. The purpose Of extended or
der is so to distribute the men Of a
squad that they may work in unison
and without serious reduction of the
amount of fire which can be delivered
from single section of the line, but
which at the same time leaves sufi-
cient space between them to minimize
the chances Of their being hit.
Even a machine gun would not an
initiate a squad in extended order

AIR RAID ON PARIS MADE
BY GERMAN AIRPLANES
Bombs Dropped on Three Suburban
Sections-censors Permit Scanty
Details To Be Published.

Paris, July 81. = The censor has
permitted the publication of scanty de-
tails of air raids made on Paris Fri
day and Saturday nights, which were
not allowed to be sent before and
which the French, newspapers were
not permitted to publish.
According to this information,
bombs were dropped on three differ
ent suburban sections. In the first,
the bombardment caused absolutely no
damage, in the other two localities,
five or six bombs were dropped, caus-
ing the slight injury to two women.
One bomb of several that fell in a
field is believed to have contained
asphyxiating gas.

quite so expeditiously ~. 1T could dis,
pose of one in close order. For mott
only does the extended order separated
the men, but in that degree Increases
their chances of escaping bullets, but
It also affords them infinitely bet-t
ter chances Of finding cover while adj
vancing.
To deploy "as skirmishers," which,
is the descriptive command for extends
ed order drill, the corporal at the CONF
mand of execution, march," springs
in front of the squad, if he does not
occupy that position already. At
run, the other members of the squad
place themselves abreast of the cor
poral at half pace intervals. Since a.
pace is 80 inches, there is Is inches
Of space between men so deployed, in
stead of the four inches of close order.
No. 2 of the front rank springs to.
the corporal's immediate right. No. z
Of the rear rank takes station to the
immediate right of No. 2 front rank.
No. 1 front rank is on the immediate,
right of No. rear rank, and No. !,
rear rank on the right of No. front
rank. On the cOrporars immediate left
is No. 3 rear rank, who has No. g.!
front rank, on his left, while on No.
8 front ranks left is the remaining
member Of the squad, No. rear rank.
In other words, with the exception
| of No. 4 rear rank, in extended order
the rear rank men all place themselves
on the right Of their respective file
| leaders, and each front rank man, in
springing to the side of the corporal,
leaves room for the rear rank man Of
the same number to step into his prop
er position in the skirmish line.
| If there are any extra men in the
squad (Which sometimes happens), they
fall in at the left of No. 4 rear rank, or
at the extreme left of the Skirmish line.
In moving, the entire line conforms to
the corporal's gait, whether that be
route step, double time, or still fast
er running. Deployed as skirmishers,
a squad does not keep step; but it
of Is inches is maintained between
each man. A common error is fOr the
men to bunch after few steps for
ward have been taken.
Inasmuch as the normal interval be-
tween skirmishers is One-half pace, or
10 inches, each man has practically
one yard of front. The front Of a
squad thus deployed is ten PAGES, or
25 feet.

Washington, July 30-Estimatins
the cost of the war for the coming
year at $10,735, 100000, exclusive OF
loans to the Allies, the administers
ton has informed Congress that new
revenues totaling S7,000,000,000 must
be raised from taxation or issuance
Of securities.
If advancement of credit to the AL
lies is continued at the present rate,
the years total of war expenditures
will pass s15,OO0,O0O,OO0 and the
amount of additional revenue required
will increase accordingly.
Bond Issues Favored.
How Congress will meet the enor-
nous new revenue requirements re-
mains to be determined, but there is
a distinct sentiment in favor of Offset
ting most of the expenditures by bond
issues.
Many leaders on both sides of the
capitol predicted that not more than
$4,000, 100000 of the $7,000,000,000 ask
ed would be raised by taxation, and
that the remainder might be met par

by issuance of treasury certificates Of

Equipment Requires Much.
Equipment and stores for the ma
tional army, particularly artillery, will
require the lions share of appropria-
lions under the administrators esti-
mates. OF the years total of $10,-
735,S07, 900, the War department alone
expects to spend s7,S64,24O,O 900, or $5,-
319,000,000 more than has been ap-
propriated thus far for it's expenses
during the year.
The Navy expects to spend $780,
100000, of which s2SS,0OO,OOO remains
to be appointed.
The shipping board, whose ship
building PROJECTS place it third on the
list, expects to spend $799,000,000 of
which S350,000,000 remains to be ap-
propriated.
These figures cover the cost of the
war from July last to June 80 next.
They do not include the money spent
prior to the first of this month.
Cover War to June Next.
Estimated receipts for the year were
placed by Secretary McAdoo, in trans
hitting the estimate to the House
ways and means and Senate finance
committees, at $685., 100000. The es-
innate of receipts did not include rev.
enues to be raised under the pending
war tax bill, estimated by administra-
ton leaders In Congress at $1,670,670,-
boo. Revision of the bill will begin
at once to embody whatever addition
al taxation it may be deemed best to
impose as a result of the new esti-
mates.
Tremendous as are the estimated
expenses Of the government for the
year the appropriations actually sought
by the various departments are placi
ed above these totals in order to pro-
vide margin of safety. Thus, the War
department, expecting to spend 1884,
100000, asks for appropriation of 49,
s73,36S,000 and the Navy department,
estimating its expenditures at $780,
100000, asks for $1,324,178,OO0.
