Motion of Hands to Convey Conf

Washington, d. c., Sept. 1S.-Meth-
DDS of modern warfare have elimin-

battle. An army order just issued
by the war department announces
change in drill regulations which
prohibits the use of bugle signals

of the bugle message not reaching all
the troops as well as the grave posi-

change.
