Things Worth Knowing

There's going to be a lot of war
talk, and never-ending stories to tell
when our fighting boys return. They
will be chock-full of tales that will
stir your blood and arouse your ever
lasting admiration. The most SEN
rational war in the worlds history has
furnished material for stories that
will startle the non-combatent uni
verse. Seyenty-mile cannon, fight
ing airplanes, poison gas and a hun
dred-and-one other heretofore un-
heard of methods Of making war will
be talked of for many years to come.
And when you're sitting around lis
tening to tales Of great battles, and
of military movements achieved By
inconceiyable ingenuity and general
ship, here are a few facts you'll find
worth knowing-they'll help you UNI
derstand what's being talked about.
An army corps is 10000 men.
An infantry division is 10000 men.
An infantry brigade is 1000 men.
A regiment of infantry is 5000
