BUGLE is DISCARDED
In Battle, Signals to Troops Will Be
Given by Motions.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Methods Of
modern warfare have eliminated one
more romantic feature of battle. An
army order just issued by the war de-
partment announces changes in drill
regulations which prohibit the use OF
bugle signals during an engagement.
The danger of the bugle message not
reaching all the troops as well as the
grave possibility that the enemy would
be well versed in the calls and would
know what to expect, are the reasons
for the change.
All orders to squads. platoons and
companies are to be given by motions
of the hands in the future.
